Happiness is a sickness. This is The Cure.
The Cure started out as punks with the promising Three Imaginary Boys, but really found their moping stride on the dark, gothic Seventeen Seconds. Faith and Pornography followed, powerful albums that represented some of the gloomiest music this side of Joy Division.
Pornography nearly broke the band. Instead, they re-formed around Robert Smith and Laurence Tolhurst to record brighter music that mixed dark internal musings with giddy arrangements: “Let’s Go To Bed,” “The Walk,” “The Love Cats,” “The Caterpillar.” Head On The Door provided something of a commercial breakthrough for the band, aided in part by music videos that introduced many viewers to Robert Smith’s lipsticked alter ego. Since then, the band has been able to pack arenas while attracting a legion of goth-rockers (and plain music lovers) around them.
Along with The Smiths, The Cure turned self-examination into an art form. They also provided the disenfranchised, misunderstood, neurotic and painfully shy with a wonderful soundtrack for our perfectly tragic lives. Thank you. We wouldn’t have wished it any other way.
