Today I read that Robert Smith wrote one of the Cure's signature compositions, "Lovesong", as a wedding present to his wife. What a brilliant present!
He´s such a good lyricist.His songwriting for the band's early albums — particularly Faith, Pornography, and the later album Disintegration — centered around themes of depression, loneliness, and isolation.That´s why they had a "gothic" image.
But actually they are not truly goths, he has said that his songs do not convey how he feels all, or even most, of the time.
"At the time we wrote Disintegration...it's just about what I was doing really, how I felt. But I'm not like that all the time. 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."
He has written the so many good love songs like Friday I´m In Love,Lovesong,Just Like Heaven, Pictures of You (awesome lyrics).
Every time I hear them I have mixed feellings of happiness and melancholy.
i can't believe you forgot the best one of all Babimagic - 'Love Cats' - i thought that one would be your favourite too ... what would Heisy and Paulo say? x
