The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart - My Terrible Friend

[tman2tuff]

the keyboard sounds just like a sped up version of the violin on joy divisions atmosphere

[Takac1979]

FANTASTIC SONG, AWESOME ALBUM. This was in my top 5 of 2011.

[lcvd1]

Definitely Cure influenced. 

[mrubbish1]

I see the Cure references but especially at the start I was reminded of OMD?

[iyoucarly]

LOVE IT!

[rainbowranchbabes]

It's deathcab meets the cure :)

[ConfusingClarity]

love the high-as-heavens keyboard sounds followed by that fuzzy bass and a killer rhythm section.

[joesikesvidz]

show me show me show me how you do that trick the one that makes me scream, she said the one that makes me laugh, she said and threw her arms around my kneck... go on go on just walk away go on go on your choice is made go on go on and disappear go on go on away from here... I don't care if monday's black tuesday wednesday heart attack thursday, never looking back it's friday, I'm in love...

[violante999]

When he started singing I thought I was going to hear "I don't care if monday's blue..."

[31makimba]

I definitely see why everyone is saying The Cure on this one. Gee whiz, it's so strong it just slaps you in the face. Anyone who can't hear that Cure sound in this song is either deaf or retarded. I will go on record and say that this is the first song by them that I've noticed the Cure thing though. These guys are still top of the line in my book! Oh yeah, and I'm going to see them on Oct. 14th, can't fucking wait!!!!!!!

[leonardotube]

new order + the cure.

[wucodu]

The Cure and The Only Ones ;)

[azimuth457]

I love that people are mentioning the cure -- that is the first thing I thought of!

@leftythekid

Atmosphere is absolute darkness

but this one brightens like the sun.

[CleverIdiocy]

Everyone is pretty and fun,

everyone is lovely and young

Everyone is gentle and gone,

but everyone’s just everyone

One of my favorite lines of a song.

[slunkmail]

i dont understand why everyone is competing to come up with the best matching artist or song for this band...i agree they sound a bit generic, but who cares who or what they sound like

[cutoutpaperstars]

oh my god this is grand!

[NotRightN0w]

…but everyone's just everyone

[Traumdieb]

I can't resist the touch of your lips <3

[grutsu]

it is from Just like Heaven from The Cure

[indiepop88]

@grutsu on my review of the album i talk about this song referring to an "in between days" of 2011

[jackobcooper]

@grutsu it sounds alot like it for sure

[tinch0vaulet]

@grutsu totally true!

[indiepop88]

I think that with it's wonderfull keyboards it's more a sound like the cure

[026SH]

@leftythekid No, the vocals on The Body are more like Atmosphere, I think this melody is from Ceremony, also Joy Division.

[MegaCrasher3000]

I think this is the album I've been waiting for since the mid-'90s. It just scratches every musical itch I have.

[026SH]

That synth melody right? where do I know it from?

[jekk23]

@026SH

I know! my gut thought was a cure song I couldn't put me finger on or may not even exist...

great tune anyway.

[sexlessparents]

omg i love this band soooooooo much. life would be so depressing if this band never formed. amazing music.

[MadameKrabat]

Loooove the new Album...

[MegaCrasher3000]

@MadameKrabat

Yes!! Amen.
