I love Robert Smith. The original emo boy so fucking gorgeous and so easily forgotten.
So here I am working like a good corporate girl when ‘Close to Me’ comes on.
HALT! volume UP
Work ceases and I get completely tangled up in his hair. Well not literally but figuratively.
Robert Smith an amazing singer and song writer who has rode the wave of new wave music and still can blast with the best of them with his new addition to the Almost Alice soundtrack.
In the swirling pit of musical offerings how easy it is to forget those that shaped our musical horizon.
Go ahead say it was the Beatles and the Stones but for this girl it most definitely included The Cure.
I’m going to dedicate the day to them just cuz I can.
So often lumped in the Gothic genre when in fact they’re more ’emo’ than that. Songs of loneliness and depression were the norm.
Great Quote:
“That’s the difficulty of writing songs that are a bit depressing. People think you’re like that all the time, but I don’t think that. I just usually write when I’m depressed.”
Don’t be depressed Beautiful, I love you.
