Today’s Top Tune – 25 May 2007
No, still not running out of ideas. In fact, I can probably keep doing this until the day that I die, because there is so much music out there that I adore.
Still, I will today tap into the catalogue of one of my all-time favourite bands: The Cure.
Such an extensive list of songs to choose from, but today let us go a little psychedelic: “The Kiss”, off their album "Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me"
Very cool guitars/drums intro, three minutes and fifty seconds of slowly building up a wall of guitar sounds, then into the lyrics – half screaming. As on many The Cure albums: a perfect opening track.
“The Kiss” live used to be mind-blowing, but since drummer Boris Williams left back in 1994, it sounds terrible and does not have the required drive.
