Agreed.

call me what you will, but i am one of the people that feel that the original version was, in fact, too short.

I love The Cure. I love 'Lullaby'. I hate this version.

Needs less cowbell.

I'll switch to other music and watch the RP webpage for this one to be over...

Extended pain.

Wow ... try it out as snogging music. Much better suited, IMHO.

Much prefer the Disintegration album version of this song. But hey, cure is cure...can't complain! always nice to hear

This is a mighty long mix, I'll have to admit, but as others have said, it has a great groove, and is perfect coding music. For the timeslot (this is 7am on the east coast), it fits in well with my empty office, styrofoam encased coffee, and bagel.

I -really- do need to get more Cure though - I seem to have skipped that life-crisis point 15-20 years ago, and keep going "Wow. this is good. How'd I miss this?"

First real exposure to The Cure was via The Crow soundtrack - a great source for good angsty music. *nodnod* :)

On candystripe legs spiderman comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
Suddenly! a movement in the corner of the
Room! and there is nothing I can do when i
Realise with freight that the spiderman is having
Me for dinner tonight

Quietly he laughs and shaking his head creeps
Closer now closer to the foot of the bed and
Softer than shadow and quicker than flies his
Arms are all around me and his tongue in my
Eyes "be still be calm be quiet now my precious
Boy don't struggle like that or I will only love
You more for it's much too late to get away or
Turn on the light the spiderman is having you
For dinner tonight"

And I feel like I'm being eaten by a thousand
Million shivering furry holes and I know that in
The morning I will wake up in the shivering cold
And the spiderman is always hungry...

ugh. i turned my speakers down for this one.

gee, i dunno, what do you think of rem's music?
:???: :oops:

I'd rather hear a bad RP Song than dead air!



(Bill-- The last play of this was dead air.)

Hard to believe they didn't mix it for optimal listening through your crappy laptop speakers. What were they thinking?

why are we playing the remix? Don't get it.

I agree. I do love me some Cure but this is way too long.

Not a Cocteau Twins fan then. Lyrics are intelligible really. You just need a hearing aid. No really, it's very clear.

(in case anyone feels my feelings are hurt and I love the Cure. Well, I like them a lot and love the original song and the album but I actually do agree this version is poor. Too long and repetitive is a valid critiscism IMHO)

First time I've wished RP had a "skip ahead" function...

Great first sentence--couldn't have been put more succinctly. You only omitted the word "irritating"--unintelligible lyrics always are. Why have lyrics at all if they can't be comprehended?
:???:

You are Sad.

Good grief.

For some time now, a variety of hard-to-hear growly, whispery, slurpy noises backed by a repetitive beat have been coming from my laptop. I guess it's this Cure song...I'd call it a waste of bandwidth.

nah

had to drop this one to a 7. just tooooo long...

but the groove they lay down might just warrant that.

back up a point.

I haven't heard this for a long time. The Cure is one of the best 80's band. I remember getting this CD the day it was released.

lets you soak it in and thoroughly enjoy the mix

i agree

good song.

:oops: wrong place.

First time I am driven to say this...this song is in the rotation way too much for what it is.......

Kinda cool, but they weren't kidding about e x t e n d e d.

Saw the same show in Toronto it was an experence i'll never forget....
