Meh. The first 3 minutes sounds like new age yoga music created by AI.

What’s to love?

Love the Cure, but that was straight trash

Nice. It has a definite "Plainsong" feel (Disintegration is my 2nd favorite album of all time). A little more guitar would have been better, but it still sounds pretty great to me.

I like it, thanks for the link!!

Most alternative nation acts owe these guys royalties with Billy Corgan at the top of the list

They played this two years ago when they played live here. It's alright, but not great.

Just want to follow up to any The Cure fans on here, I said this song is trash because I feel like they should come back with the upbeat, not the dirge. When I say upbeat think "Close to Me" or "Just Like Heaven". Willing to bet you won't hear anything like that on the new one.

I am a HUGE CURE fan…sort of. Disintegration has remained my 2nd favorite album of all time next to the WALL since its release. I love THAT CURE. Having said that, I fucking HATE the Love Cats, Friday I’m In Love, Let’s Go To Bed, Close To Me, Why Can’t I Be You? CURE. It’s always amazed me how a band can be SO great and SO shitty at the same time.Disintegration rules because it has exactly ZERO POINT ZERO of that pop bullshit at all. Love Song is close, but it’s still very melancholic and has a great bass line so it doesn’t cross the line.

I do like stuff Just Like Heaven, Push and In Between Days so it doesn’t have to all be slow (see: the song Disintegration) but when they do that silly “cheeky” shit it pushes my “sucks” button. Of course tons of people love the silly shit including my wife, but it’s a HARD PASS for me. You can keep the “happy” CURE. When I tell people I am a CURE fan a lot of them only know the MTV version and don’t get it until I explain that half or more of their catalog kinda sucks badly, but the rest is brilliant.
