Just Like Heaven - The Cure

[BluntForceTrama]

This might be one of the best songs ever written. To me its the one song that doesn't age.

. song just written
at the height of super nova

how they roll fairly recently. Smith will eat his Cheetos while he's playing he don't give a fuk. I don't think I fully appreciated his weirdness until recently.



This was the actual show I went to



Push is right up there with it though.


I saw them live recently well. Robert Smith's voice hasn't changed at all and he's gotta be well over 60 now
The Cure is iconic.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

One of the greatest songs of all-time.

I vastly prefer the band's earlier work. More darkly layered sounds and incredible basslines. One track from my favorite Cure album, Faith:

 

[Spam On Rye]

Could never really get into these guys but this and Disintegration are two that stuck with me.

 

[I Am Legion]

I always thought this band was extremely Gay. That whole genre. hated it all.... Now I have grown to love The Cure, The Human League, and my favorite The Psychedelic Furs.

 

[triptych]

Great outfit, but I prefer their later albums ....less gothic and more rock - pop.

 

[ObsoleteSoul]

Love the Cure, but I absolutely agree. Their earlier stuff is just so atmospheric and fills you with this otherworldly feeling. I love it.

Whats trippy to me the MOST is that I always thought Smith was doing some goth clown shtick....

No dude.....the dude is a tranny and he made it somewhat cool on the downlow.

I got you dude. I was big into Cure back when head on the door came out and that got me started down the goth Cure wormhole. Faith became a favorite of mine.

But on just a panaromic perspective that appeals to the mass....Just Like Heaven is just a sick song beginning to end. Push would have to be close 2nd in terms of favorite Cure tracks. I guess Im a fan of the ethereal guitar work


Came across a nice joint yesterday and for some reason I tend to gravitate to the song....its even better.

 

[Plissken]

Love the Cure, but I absolutely agree. Their earlier stuff is just so atmospheric and fills you with this otherworldly feeling. I love it.

Pornography is my gold standard Cure album. It's easily their darkest one in a creepy way and not so much a depressing gray way. You listen to 100 Years or the title track and it's a thick dark atmosphere black metal bands would kill to have.

Just like heaven is a dope ass festival in Pasadena every spring

You heard much of The The? Stupid band name but soul mining is my favourite new wave album I think.

16 years of silence? Not anymore! Legendary 80s rock icons The Cure just made the coolest announcement of the century—totally their style too. Rather than a flashy press release or big social media hype, these gothic rockers revealed their new album Songs of a Lost World by casually slapping a single poster on the wall of The Railway pub in Crawley, where they first hit the stage in 1978. No biggie, right? Just the most epic news of the year!Fans have been LOSING IT online since the poster, gleaming in all-black glory, was spotted. Roman numerals on the poster reveal the album's drop date: November 1st. Yep, it’s real. THE CURE ARE BACK. "NEW THE CURE ALBUM!!!! AFTER 16 YEARS!!!!!!" screamed Manon on X (we feel you, Manon), while another fan hyped it as the "album of the century." Same energy, right?But it didn’t stop there—the band is keeping fans on their toes with mysterious teasers. A spooky stone head projection popped up in Blackpool (where frontman Robert Smith was born), hinting at a possible secret gig. The Cure’s dark magic strikes again! And just to turn the mystery dial up even higher, fans had to crack a code—using Roman numerals, no less—to access the band’s secret website. So cryptic, so Cure. Oh, and those postcards fans received? Total class act. This band knows how to keep the hype train rolling, without giving in to boring corporate nonsense. As Manchester’s Sacha Lord put it, this is "two fingers up" to the usual album promo frenzy. But amidst the excitement, there's a bittersweet note. Long-time keyboardist Roger O'Donnell recently shared his battle with a rare form of cancer, which kept him from touring last year. The band—and fans—are rallying behind him, hoping for a speedy recovery. Mark your calendars, Cureheads—this November 1st, the dark legends return with what promises to be a spine-tingling masterpiece.


They just announced today they are releasing a new CD

The thing is I was of course around when this song was released.

I liked it good enough back then sure. I probably loved it. But right now, I really appreciate it.. the baseline and the spooky keyboard harmonics

There are very few songs that have impacted me in this way. Maybe its attached memories.

Its genius and a masterpiece.

 

[BluntForceTrama]

Covers. There are so many of them for this.
Its like a museum.






other covers by Dinosaur Jr, Blink 182

This is a breakdown of all the hooks in the song. There are so many hooks in this one.
