Song title: Just Like Heaven
Artist: The Cure
Year: 1987
Why I like this song:
In an earlier post I decreed that the sound of the eighties was defined by big drums, prominent bass, jangly guitars and the ever-present synthesizer. So we come to what can only be the quintessential eighties song performed by a quintessential eighties band.
Once again, I always felt that if Robert Smith could put his mind to it he could whip out a winner of a pop song. And this song is that hypothesis in motion. Utter magic this song: I especially love the intro where each instrument falls into place and that unmistakable guitar figure.
Furthermore, this song reminds me of my college years when i fell in with a group of goths and, in doing so, made some of the best friends I'll ever have
Love songs for goths, eh?
