sorry, no "edge" to this cover at all, it does not do Robert and The Cure justice, this proves there are only 2 bands in the world, The Cure and then the rest
@JTBproductionss The general public are retarded. Retarded like Deathawkgnar as it would seem. Hence why mainstream radio is a joke. Not a funny one either, an annoying one, like a knock knock joke. However, credited to the invention of auto tuners and highly payed song writers, talented musicians who can actually play an instrument AND sing make less money than untalented halfwits like Katy Perry or, whats that group with the 3 fags that all the young kids like? Jonas brothers. Those feltchers
@stickybud12 But is it really about the money? Can't any artist at any point in time make the choice to sell out? Isn't it cooler that they don't get all the money, and they keep making music because of how much they love it? That's how I feel.

@Sarson72 actually, Ben Folds has a good relationship with the Cure. He's always been a big fan, and I'm sure it meant alot to them that he decided to include a tribute to them on his EP.

this is the most aweful thing i have ever heard. I would rather eat my own puke than listen to this. this gaywad has nothing on the cure. and he never will. this is a disgrace
@mdjanson the version in the ad seems to be a really decent edit, or an actual instrumental version of this song. i want the instrumental version almost as much as the device in the promo vid!
I love both versions honestly. They're both really enjoyable to listen to. I mean, obviously everyone will say The Cure's original song was the better of the two, but only because it IS the original. I think they're both equally great though. I mean, their styles are pretty distinguishable from each other and have different ways of playing music.
The Cure is a band that means a LOT to me, and so is this song. You can't really even compare this to the original. When Robert Smith sings, I can feel the emotion, the pain. When I hear this, the only emotion I feel is disappointment.
so i heard this before i ever heard the cure one and when i heard the instrumentals sampled on the new girl talk cd i thought it was a ben folds cover haha
shut up hoes this song ROCKS NERDS peace
