Gabo Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 This is the b-side to one of The Cure's newest singles, "The Perfect Boy" (a great song on its own). I found the lyrics to be specially significant, and the music is beautiful and uplifiting too.

Jake_Ellison Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 I like The Cure. Any connection to objectivism I missed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabo Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) I like The Cure. Any connection to objectivism I missed? Explicit? Not that I know of. But this song in particular seems to be a clear anthem for individualism. Edited October 18, 2008 by Gabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kori Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 I like this one by The Cure: Gone! oh you know how it is wake up feeling blue and everything that could be wrong is including you black clouds and rain and pain in your head and all you want to do is stay in bed but if you do that you'll be missing the world because it doesn't stop turning whatever you heard if you do that you'll be missing the world you have to get up get out and get gone! yeah you know how it is wake up feeling green sick as a dog and six times as mean you don't want to sing you don't want to play you don't want to swing you don't want to sway all you want to do is nothing on a day like today but if you do that you'll be missing the world because it doesn't stop turning whatever you heard if you do that you'll be missing the world you have to get up get out and get gone! yeah get up get out and have some fun you have to get up get out and get gone! yeah get up get out and get it on get up get out and get gone! you have to get up get out and get living yeah this is really it... so you know how it is wake up feeling grey nothing much to think and nothing much to say don't want to talk don't want to try don't want to think don't want to know who what where when or why... oh but you do that and you're missing the world yeah it's happening right now whatever you heard you do that and you're missing the world you have to get up get out and get gone! yeah get up get out and have some fun you have to get up get out and get gone! yeah get up get out and get it on get up get out and get gone! you have to get up get out and get living yeah this is really it!

Gabo Posted October 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Gone! That's a nice catchy tune. The whole While Mood Swings album was very good, despite what fans and critics say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kori Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Yeah, I don't know all of the The Cure's discography, but I really love Wild Mood Swings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherryTX Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 I love The Cure - saw them in concert twice back in my youth...ahhh those days. My favorite song is "Just like Heaven". I haven't bought any of their new stuff lately, though - as I get old, I tend to buy less cds. It is very sad. Anyway - thanks for posting - I will have to go out and get the cd this song is on. I do so love The Cure - but blame them for being partially responsible for creating emo. Yuck hahah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
