i often compare the cure with other bands, and i think that all cure fans got something in common. maybe the feeling oder the liability to dream, think or something like that. once s.o. said, what he saw in the eyes of the cure fans, he never saw anywhere else. i think, that´s true. thank god for such a great musician and great poet, he helpef me a a a lot :)
I'm so in love with this song D= I only got into The Cure last summer from listening to the head on the door continuously, but even though i'm probably alot younger than alot of people into the cure (14 lol), this song is vrey symbolic to me D= <3
DeAd4eva616, most of us fans were youngies when we first heard of The Cure. I became a big fan of theirs when I was 15! I'm 36 now and look, here I am back to enjoy this beautiful song.
at 35 this song just keeps getting better and becoming more relevant. this was the first Cure album i heard (in 1986 at age 13). still kills me everytime.
late night, early morning drive when no one is out. especially when you get a little older and have come to realize some depressing universial truths about yourself and others
hey electroeye i suppose the older you get this song probably has more meaning im fast approaching 40 will still be listening to it in my 50s 60s 70s if i live that long????god im depressed now.
I remember listening to this song in the light fog one summer day on the coast of Maine. I was working in an Inn but was living in a campground. There was a long wooden bridge set very high above a river that ran along one side of the camp. There was an island in the middle of the river where the salt water river split in two. I would invision a large wooden cross sticking out of the river with tattered and torn flowing cloth haning off the cross, blowing in the wind with Robert singing.
listened to the cure for a lot of years early stuff thier best ie head on the door and disintegration this song however still makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.
I think it's very hard to render this live, there is much in this recording that makes it perfect, the echo, the sligtly out of tune strings. robert's voice on the brink of crying. my favourite cure recording.
spring break 2001. back in my home town. old friends. hosue parties most everyday. friend in bad wreck. visiting him in hospital. meeting the girl who i'd be with for the next 4 years after that. pills, weed, alcohol. drama. and Head on the Door everyday.
As much as I hate to say it I love the cure & their music! But the music they made in the early years along with the sound didn't need much lyrics! It took you on a journey of it's own! I wish they still did that!!
when I was 13, a friend give me "the head on the door" in cassette...I think that was the best gift of my whole life, seriously, if I need to choose a song to represent my adolescence definitly is this.
One of my favorite Cure songs. Have a drink or 2 and then lay back and turn the volume up. They have some of the most emotional music around. Nothing compares.
I am not slowing down. But this song is menacing. It will slow you down, it is beautiful. Smith is a person with licence to write and sing anything. Read Plato to see what is to become of that.
Simply beautiful !!
