The Cure - Pictures Of You - (Cover)

"Pictures of You" is the fourth and final single from The Cure's 1989 album Disintegration. The single version is a remix edit of the album version, and at 4:48 minutes is significantly shorter than the original album version which runs for 7:24. There are also 2 different remixes on 2 UK 12" singles, and other singles released around the world, one of which later appeared on Mixed Up as the Extended Dub Mix and differs significantly from the album version in arrangement in that incorporates wholly original drum and bass arrangements. The other is an extended remix of the original album version which, at 7:59, runs slightly longer than the album version. There is also an edit which was released on 12" in the US, titled "extended remix" as in the European and Australasian releases, but which runs for 6:40 rather than 7:59.

According to interviews, the inspiration of the song came when a fire broke loose in Robert Smith's home. After that day, Robert was going through the remains and came across his wallet which had pictures of his wife, Mary. The cover of the single is one of the pictures. The same picture was used as the cover of the "Charlotte Sometimes" single, but this version was heavily warped and distorted.

It's different...But its good in its own way. The original is, in my opinion, one of the best songs ever written; so i admire that you have the courage to post your recreation of such a wonderful piece for others to hear. Music is art, and like all good art, it is open to interpretation. I don't think anyone should be chastised for taking something and construing it in a way that they can relate to. If you read this, Keep up the good work. Art needs people like you.

Dude, I actually liked it that you did it differently from the original, that to me is a good cover, I like your take on this song. Great stuff. I also have a version of this son posted but not as good I think.

Big fan of Chevelle and The Cure but this is really horrible, such a butchering of a beautiful song it was hard to listen to...I was expecting something good before hearing it, just the worst thing I have heard in a while. I actually may like Chevelle a little less because of this
