Robert James Smith (born 21 April 1959) is an English musician who is the co-founder, lead vocalist, guitarist, primary songwriter, and only continuous member of the Cure, a post-punk band formed in 1976. His guitar-playing style (including his use of the Fender Bass VI), distinctive singing voice, and fashion sense (often sporting a pale complexion, smeared red lipstick, black eye-liner, unkempt wiry black hair, and all-black clothes) were highly influential on the goth subculture that rose to prominence in the 1980s.
Not sure I could pick a single favorite, but if pressed i’d prob say Letter to Elise. Catch, Why Can’t I Be You, Lovesong, and Funeral Party are all up there tho
Oh yeah that’s a great one. I can’t listen to it too often bc it makes me a little melancholy.
“Every time I try to pick it up like falling sand / as fast as I pick it up it runs away through my clutching hands”
It’s funny, at first I thought I’m not really a big Cure fan, but yesterday I was hanging out with my cousin listening to Cure songs and I was like: this one’s good, this one’s good, this one’s really great, this one’s great too.
