The Cure - The Walk

[@scott80ca]

That synth line is the bomb. Still sounds fresh after all these years.

[@harro9689]

I’ve always thought it was the most hilarious sounding keyboard/synth riff I’ve ever heard in modern pop music. But can’t deny it makes the song memorable.

[@adamantiuscloudcat1799]

Reminds me New order the beach for some reason

@@gunnyakdo1653 Peter Hook is convinced they ripped him off, but the Walk was written 5 months before Blue Monday, so there's that.

[@Del-Lebo]

Really miss this sound! 58 years old, worked in a record store in Christown mall in Phx AZ from 1981to 1987! lucky lad!

[@pamelacorrigan]

Great, It reminds me of Skinny-Dipping in Jersey, (Channel Islands UK) in 1983. "I kissed you in the water"

[@TWX1138]

Was that the Tower Records location? House my family had when I was born was walking distance to Christown, and I spent a lot of time in the eighties as a small child walking over whenever Mom wanted to get out of the house. I was too young to go into the record store but I remember it being there.

[@Del-Lebo]

@TWX1138 no, in the Christown mall it was a musicland record store. By the movies and pizza de amore

@@Del-Lebo Ah. It's been too long for me to remember much more than the Miracle Mile Deli, the Walgreens, and the Miller's Outpost.

I haven’t seen The Cure in concert since I was 16 years old. I’ve been through so much in my life. I buried their music deep inside along with the memories that were so painful. Tonight, I’m going to their show in Seattle. It’s been 35 years. Thankfully I’m still here and able to enjoy life better now. Thank you to my most favorite band.🥀🖤

[@Blooodhail]

Thank you for sharing. We’re glad you’re here! Hope you enjoyed the show 🖤

[@michaelb3276]

Love you Christine! Just saw them in concert in Vancouver, they played for almost 3 hours, Robert sounded just the same. I have been a fan since LoveCats when I was 13 and last Friday was the best night of my life! I'm glad to share the love of The Cure with you!

[@huggymoon]

Saw them in Tampa with my 17 year old daughter and we both had a fantastic time. She absolutely loves and adores the Cure like I did in my teens and still do ❤

[@MeganBecker]

Sooooooo relatable. Heck yeah. ❤

[@villedocvalle]

The fact that he’s pulling double duty during this recording as a guitarist with The Banshees, and as a bonus put out a pretty good album as The Glove, really puts Robert Smith alone on the hilltop of creativity and artistic expression while also being unique and good. Thank you Robert Smith for being born!

[@poepshoe]

All the songs are characterized by the mood of Robert Smith. Excited one moment, the other time suicidal. But he is a great songwriter, that's for sure!

[@manuelorellanalinares]

Cuando alguien con el talento de Robert Smith crea composiciones musicales impregnandolas de su estilo y personalidad, tan acentuada que incluso se reflejaba en su aspecto diferenciándose de todos los que le rodeaban para así ser únicos, no es de exptrañar que se conviertan en unos líderes para su generación y venideras. Ya va siendo hora de que nos traigan algo nuevo y excitante. Todo el mundo os espera.

During the 80's I never thought of myself as a big fan of The Cure but I realize now just how many songs of theirs I recognize when I listen on youtube. There isn't another group or singer who I can honestly say comes close. They wrote SO MANY songs I like.

[@photoshoott2022]

Great 80s music is always the best. We loved The Cure and enjoyed their music, danced to it and just enjoyed listening. We even went to a concert, but had nose bleed seats, so just enjoyed the music and met some great people. This music is great and it is timeless, so I enjoy it now as much as we have enjoyed it back then.

[@wmgutek]

How old are you??? 80? WTF

[@Sjoemi1]

This song along with "Lovecats" and "Lets Go To Bed" gave The Cure a commercial breakthrough, which was very important for their further existence. Bassist Gallup had just left the band and even Robert doubted that The Cure would stay alive. So they had a dramatic change in style, from the very dark album Pornography and to these "pop"-singles. They were later included in the album "Japanese Whispers".

[@TheKinoEye]

Love the song. I'm here just to hear it again, while I read the Comments

[@mrtijod]

Considering how recording for Japanese Whispers finished in April 1983, and Blue Monday was released in March 1983... I think the more likely explanation is that as cool new technologies emerge, bands are going to use them and create similar sounds.

I kissed you in the water And made your dry lips sing I saw you look Like a Japanese baby In an instant I remembered everything I called you after midnight Then ran until my heart burst I passed the howling woman And stood outside your door I kissed you in the water And made your dry lips sing I saw you look Like a Japanese baby In an instant I remembered everything Take me for a walk Take me for a walk Let's go for a walk Take me for a walk

Interesting background to this track. By 1983, Robert Smith was looking for a new sound to get away from the Goth style of the previous few years. He decided to go for an electro pop sound with a Japanese vibe. He was impressed by Japan's (the band) Tin Drum album and sort out it's producer Steve Nye to help them. Their collaboration produced this track. Interesting side note, The Cure (known as the Easy Cure at the time) won a talent contest in 1977 and Japan were runners up!

[@Watcher4111]

After Pornography Smith shouldve been changed bands name if he wanted to record lesser pop
