30 Day Song Challenge: A song that I listen to when I'm sad (22/30)



Oh, Cure, you are so delightfully depressing! I've been such a longtime fan and I've never tired of your sound.

If I ever want simply to wallow, I turn on the Cure's album Disintegration. It's one of my all-time favorite albums (definitely a desert island CD). Many people are familiar with Pictures of You... such a gentle, sweet song... and sad, oh so sad. I love the original song from the CD (didn't I once have the tape, too?) but it is simply fantastic played in concert. I wish I could teleport to a performance right now so I could touch my heart and weep.
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you
Ah, lovely.
