    This is a very beautiful song, may eventually be viewed as one of their best ever. I had goosebumps watching them open the show with this in Charlotte on June 16!! Can't wait to hear the studio version, hopefully it's slow like this one.

  • Underneath the Sky ...

    Underneath the Sky and A Boy I Never Knew are the only nice songs from the coming album so far. I fear this album will be as bad as Wild Mood Swing, even worse as the b-sides sound bad too so far. Don't you think?

    Yes. Sounds good. I´d like to hear Jason drumset with reverb and more powerful sound. Jason should contact Boris Williams´ drumtech or Boris himself to assist him with this.

    I totally agree with you! It´s the best of the "new" Cure, after Porl and Boris departed.
    Hope they play it live in the new tour.
