"A Forest" is a single by the British rock band The Cure, released on April 8, 1980 as the only single from their second album Seventeen Seconds. It was also their first chart single in the UK, reaching #31.

The lyrics tell a vague story about a man looking for a girl in a forest. He hears her calling for him, and as he chases her, he suddenly stops and realizes that he is lost and that the girl is not there. The song is fairly upbeat compared to the other material on the album, and Lol Tolhurst's machine-like steady beat together with Simon Gallup's minimalistic bassline gives this nervous chase more depth and keeps the song on the edge of a frantic groove until the end.

Though not their biggest hit, it is regarded by many fans and critics as one of the best examples of The Cure's sound, particularly their use of chorusing effects. The song is also notable for securing the band its first slot on BBC's Top of the Pops.

The track has been re-recorded a number of times by The Cure. In 1990 the track was re-recorded and remixed as the "Tree mix" on the band's "Mixed Up" album.

Great song to take drugs to

[JackOfferlott]

Wow! Lol is playing drums and Robert looks so...plain! The early Cure albums aren't as sharp or slick as the latter stuff and so it doesn't get much attention. However, they hold up rather well I would say. Granted, Boris Williams was the Cure's greatest drummer and completed the sound that would define the band. However, the early stuff is still enthralling and Robert proves himself a world class song writer each time out!

The drummer blinked! Once! :))

They wouldn't make it on Soundcloud these days... judging by this video and production.

I remember listening to this song over and over again in the 80"s. Good times.. Commodore 64, Maui & Sons and Jimmy's.... All stuff that rocked in the 80's.. Gone now. LoL. I miss the 80's

I wonder how much practice it took to keep those blank expressions on during the entire video.
