One of the most psychedelic song of the cure. I have seen it live millions of times. It is like floating on the waves of the ocean

Robert Smith is a stunning guitar player, his masterful use of guitar effects gives more dimension and adds colour to his simple but stunning riffs. He's a genius!

This is an absolutely incredible song, my favorite band (Deftones) lead me here. Nice to hear the origin of their outstanding cover; The Cure influence on Deftones is crystal clear now and I wish to explore their music.

Kyle Brofloski shouted: Disintegration is the best album ever and I agree :) Talking seriously, I've been a fan since 1985 and after hearing my Disintegration LP (Vinyl) for the first time, I thought that I've heard their best work until then. That was my opinion in 1989 and remains until now. I love that compact wall of sounds from instruments that interact perfectly one with the other. It's perfect. Also I loved those uncommon drum patterns of Boris, not present in any other Cure drummer.

"If Only Tonight We Could Sleep" If only tonight we could sleep In a bed made of flowers If only tonight we could fall In a deathless spell If only tonight we could slide Into deep black water And breathe And breathe... Then an angel would come With burning eyes like stars And bury us deep In his velvet arms And the rain would cry As our faces slipped away And the rain would cry Don't let it end..

The slower songs like this & "Same Deep Water as You" put me in a trance! I love the Middle Eastern flair a lot of their songs have. They'll always b my favorite band!! Most people I know don't like them at all, saying Robert Smith can't sing but he's got the most hypnotic voice I've ever heard! GOREOUS!!

This kind of music sounds so versatile, you could stick it in so many genres of movies and videogames and stuff, and yeah, Smith is a great guitarist, although admittedly the first time i saw this song on tv i though it was an instrumental, like a bunch of other Cure songs.

This is from a surreal world where the night always continues. High rise gothic buildings that lean in uniform. The windows from them look pale yellow. Clocktowers guide your way in the rainy nights. Dark churches comfort and intimidate you in this strange and eerie world. Do not disturb them, for they always see you. Sudden bells keep you in hyponosis in your walk. The streets are made of cobblestone and brick, many crossing ambigous arcs with vague quotes engraved. The temperature is mildly cold. Everyone passing by around you dresses in black. No one speaks to you, it is the hour where crime peaks. You notice shadows of trench coats, as if they almost had a soul themselves. You encounter a bridge, in which cats sing to the moon in divine ways. As you cross you see houses, their cone shaped tops wrap you in more uneasiness. Now approaching the park, medieval age castles in the middle of it beg to be seen again, they are alive once more. The neon lit alleys call to you, when you enter the room of your apartment, you only wish to return outside to the danger. The sensation of something more out there, an excitement in the darkness. You realize your wishes for a companion, except this solitary notion is likeable. The distant thought of being alone and the desirable idea of being with someone mixed together is addictive. A bottle is poured quickly for tension, then perhaps something stronger is taken. Are demons or saints guiding your feeling? It doesn't matter, they conquer your thought. You choose to romanticize, to give in to the voices of the atmosphere. You walk out again, the wind carries you to another stroll. Your senses have conquered you, the night has won. The slavery to it is nothing but euphoria. May this dream never end, may you savor the endless longing.
