    I was petrified of Robert Smith as a child. He was just mad looking with his Edward Scissorhands hair, black eyes, pale face and red smeared lipstick. I was about 3 or 4 when this song was re released in 1990 and every time it came on the TV I'd hide behind the back of the sofa. I was so scared of him I use to check if he was under my bed. Most kids are scared of monsters under their beds I was scared Robert Smith was under mine. It's funny now cause The Cure are one of my favourite bands now and this is one of my favourite song from them.

    Lyrics
    I've waited hours for this
    I've made myself so sick
    I wish I'd stayed asleep today
    I never thought this day would end
    I never thought tonight could ever be
    This close to me
    Just try to see in the dark
    Just try to make it work
    To feel the fear before you're here
    I make the shapes come much too close
    I pull my eyes out
    Hold my breath and wait until I shake
    But if I had your faith
    Then I could make it safe and clean
    If only I was sure
    That my head on the door was a dream
    I've waited hours for this
    I've made myself so sick
    I wish I'd stayed asleep today
    I never thought this day would end
    I never thought tonight could ever be
    This close to me
    But if I had your face
    Then I could make it safe and clean
    Oh, if only I was sure
    That my head on the door was a dream

    This video perfectly describes depression. Anyone who's ever been there knows it doesn't feel like being already in the abyss, it feels like being stuck, dirty, with everything around looking like a mess impossible to order, on the edge of the end. And even at the end of it one feels stuck, cold and alone. Exactly like the song hints.

      To be fair I think yes singing matters in a song but if melodies are great, it can goes through without a hitch. To a certain extent ofc, I can't stand the shaggs or sarah brand but I'm a huge devotee of The Cure compositions/instrumentals (Robert Smith's voice sounds better in other songs ), so it's not annoying to me.

      I'd argue a guess at that he was able to understand basic chords and enough to play the parts Robert and Porl wrote, but not enough to write songs on the keyboard of his own, at least until he made his own band. His drumming's good enough that I wouldn't really complain if I was in a band with him, but nothing amazing.

    We loved the 80s music, we loved The Cure and we loved this song. We enjoyed that time period, because it was great in every way. We built some amazing memories, hang out with friends and enjoyed time of being young and being alive. It was the best and still is the best in music and entertainment, things were great and still makes me nostalgic thinking about it or hearing this great music. Still enjoy it as much, if not more.

    Last week, first week of November of 2022 I was on my daily walk and a young woman (maybe 20-25) came up on me on her bicycle and I heard the rhythm of a song and I thought: "I know that?!?" I recognized it as the Cure, but as it so often happens I know the song and band but not he name of the tune. So, as she rides past she gets a bit farther away and she sits up and starts dancing wile riding no-handed and it made me feel incredibly joyous. The combo of the song and the woman riding to work most likely and she was grooving on life to the Cure! Just thinking about it brings a smile to my old, fully grey bearded face;-)>

This was one of my favorite dance songs - the girl I was with at the time was also a high energy dancer - she and I danced to this song together and the song after - "World Destruction" by Afrika Bambaataa at Caberet Metro in Chicago in 1986. We cleared the floor and the management gave us a round of free drinks for the show ! 80s had so much energy and positivity, it was freakin awesome.

    Apparently I was obsessed with this song as a child in the 2000s. I think I especially liked the part with everyone in the cupboard falling off a cliff for some reason 😂 I liked Lullaby as well. Both songs are super nostalgic to me these days

    Never got into The Cure in my youth, mostly because Robert Smith creeped me out a little (although I loved Lovesong) but lately I been going through their catalog and I'm amazed by all that I missed. Then today, I find out that they made this. I've heard it so many times but never knew it was them.

      I think the genius in this song is that it sounds minimalist, even though there is so much going on in it.

      The best ideas are always the simplest. The most perfect example of this is the wheel

    I had first seen this song with this video on MTV and I was immediately in love with the video and the song. So I bought the album "The Head On The Door" and found (this has not changed until today) the minimal version without the brass section even better.
    That was my introduction to The Cure and I still love the video. It's simply brilliant.
