THE CURE - Lovesong | FIRST TIME REACTION

[@clifton8929]

The Cure album Disintegration' is an excellent and unique album. Robert Smith's songwriting and lyrics are great. They had their own style and sound that made them stand out.

[@ShawnSalvadori]

Had to play this one a few more times today alone 😅

[@jennyburns787]

❤ Absolute favorite The Cure creation!!! Great reaction!

[@rafaelthedarkangel]

Robert Smith wrote this song as a wedding gift for his wife in 1989. ❤ And i love the part "You make me feel like I am clean again" making a connection to Figurehead's line from years before "I will never be clean again" ❤❤

[@intothesunset3]

Great reaction! I'm so glad you liked this😊 'Disintegration' is one of my ten favorite albums of all time. Robert Smith gave this song to his then-fiancée Mary Poole (who had been his high school sweetheart) as a wedding present. I read somewhere that he meant it to be just for her, and it took her a year and a half to convince him to release it to the public. They're still married, 35 years later😊

[@ShawnSalvadori]

That's great that they're still married! This song is honestly magic. I LOVE it, thank you!

[@intothesunset3]

​@@ShawnSalvadori You're welcome! I'm so happy that you love it! I was 16 when this song came out and it's such an important one to me. I agree, it's magic😊 I agree with all your descriptions of their sound (beachy and Gothic at the same time...sexy, haunting, beautiful...) I think you would like a lot of their music, since a lot of it is like that.

[@Wordsmyth8]

This such a haunting, beautiful song. My favorite by the Cure.

[@Rhiannon011]

There was always a lot of "romance' in Roberts songs...and his unique style and voice. We can all honestly say there is no one else like him or "The Cure".. "Love Cats" by the Cure is also a fantastic song.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

Written & Recorded by Robert Smith as a wedding present to his wife Mary..He would also write "Just Like Heaven" about her as well & The breathlessness of love.

[@iraidaacevedo3723]

Wow 🤩 I enjoyed this!! I haven’t heard this song in years!! 👏🏻🎼♥️🎸

[@dougwill8850]

Love love this band....Love The Doors too...since the late 70's. I can see the correlation between the two groups for sure.

[@jons.105]

Fashionably mopey and yet danceable and infectious! Saw them in concert in the '90s with Duran Duran--what a show!

[@Priyanka.Aarya77]

I love this song soooooooooo much. I was 12 when it came out in 1989 and have loved it ever since. I love being old. Haha. The best music came out pre-2000 imo.

[@kathyedleman633]

Haunting is a great word to describe their sound. Good reaction as usual. ❤

[@happymethehappyone8300]

Shawn,, I would definitely suggest watching the video for this track,, It echoes some of the things you said about it.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

Both MUST HEAR Albums,, The Cure "The Head On The Door" & "Disintegration"

[@intothesunset3]

I agree!

[@happymethehappyone8300]

@@JenSell1626 Agreed..I like ALL their albums,, I was just naming my first 2 in order.

[@user-vf1oj9lv3v]

Disintegration is a fantastic album! All these years later and I still love it.

[@flubblert]

I absolutely love this song. Definitely my favorite of theirs. Smith's voice has kind of a dark but whimsical quality to it that as you say, fits the music well. Adele actually has a very nice cover of this you might want to look into. A couple of more recommendations from them: "Just Like Heaven " "Pictures of You" Just Like Heaven

[@intothesunset3]

Great suggestions. "Just Like Heaven" is IMO one of the most perfect pop songs ever written (Rick Beato has a fun video about why it's such a great song). And "Pictures of You" is just amazing, like the rest of 'Disintegration.'

[@flubblert]

​@@intothesunset3 👍🙏

[@i1uvha11oween]

Fun fact! Robert Smith wrote this song about his wife as a wedding present they’ve been married now for 30 something years!

[@magicbrownie1357]

Then ENTIRE Disintegration album is FIRE! Not a bad song on it. The Cure is pure vibes.

[@willbo-nf7li]

one of the most covered songs of all time, i guess for good reason

[@Andy-Capp]

Great band. My favourite is “In Between Days”

[@CosmicVagabondPixie]

YAY!!! LuvLuvLuv **The Cure** please please at some point can ya check out "In Between Days" by them *LUV Your Reaction** as always luv that ya delve into the songs so much RockON!!!

[@librarylady13]

🤩🤩🤩

[@williamwoods7374]

The entire album is great, the song "Disintegration" is a must listen.

[@bradleypaulus2926]

I loved it when The Cure came out with this. It has that killer 80s sound and much more pop oriented. And that great mysterious, trippy sound.

[@dathorndike4908]

Only The Cure could have written such an overt love song but make it so gloomy and dark a same time.

[@user-pf7jm9go6o]

So interesting how the foreboding music is juxtaposed against the loving lyrics. Very different feel compared to Just Like Heaven.

[@gary6956]

Shawn, Gothic Metal and Goth are two entirely different genres. The Cure aren't Metal at all.

[@ShawnSalvadori]

Yeah, more meant Gothic rock if anything, but metal is what came out
