fave Cure song
well, over the last 7 years its been :
these 16 according to
last fm
some of which really surprises me
given that there is so much feeling, for me, wrapped up in playing songs off of
which I got from a friend when I was in the Persian Gulf, especially
Killing an Arab
as the years go by, I can sometimes get quite choked up just from hearing the opening of it
even weirder is that I've played
Friday I'm in Love an average of 9 times a year since September of 2006
so shortly before my divorce and this song was one of "our songs"
just hearing it tore me up for a long time
but hey, I guess time does heal all wounds so great
as to fave albums, I did not buy a Cure "album"* until I bought
Disintegration after I got back from the war
pretty much played that album to death too and it likely would have been one of my "go to" albums after my divorce if not for the fact that my really good friend and roommate would play it real loud while he took a long bath and
I guess once I've so completely identified something as somebody else's music for when they are particularly broken hearted
then its just not the same for me anymore, the amazing thing to me was that he was able to use playing it real loud in a darkened bathroom while he took a bath over more than one break up
anyways, its 4 am here and I am finally sleepy
*=somehow I got by with just cassettes of Boys Don't Cry & Japanese Whispers for years
