One of the most well known cure songs, "Boys Don't Cry" is a song about repressed emotions and the inability to express them, something that many people can relate to.

Plainsong
ABOUT
The opener to The Cure’s magnum-opus Disintegration is as grandiose as the album itself. Released in May 1989, its lush, orchestral melodies introduce the album and build to a crescendo for over two and half minutes before Smith eventually adds vocals. Although it's often an afterthought, given its short duration, it still to this day remains as one of the Cures' best songs. Gregorian chants and other Catholic liturgies are referred to as Plainsong. The track has a mystical, almost hypnotic rhythm that is similar to religious music. Chimes and flowing basslines provide the backdrop for a chil...more

ABOUT
Though "Lovesong" was released as a single, it was not written as one. It was originally intended for the Cure's 1989 album Disintegration, but Robert Smith felt that it didn't fit with the dark tone of the record. Instead, he gave it to his wife Mary for her birthday. The song ended up being a huge hit for the Cure, reaching number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US and becoming one of the most popular Cure songs of all time. Despite its success, "Lovesong" is a pretty sad song. It's about unrequited love and the pain that comes with it. Nevertheless, the catchy melody and Robert Smith's e...more

The Lovecats
ABOUT
The Lovecats is a song by the English band The Cure, which was released as a single in October 1983. The song peaked at number 7 on the UK Singles Chart and was later included on the band's album The Top. It is one of the Cure's best pop songs, with Smith himself proclaiming it was "close to being the perfect pop song". After a trilogy of more intense, dark and moody songs, Lovecats came to Smith after her moved back into his parents home. The song is notable for its playful, jazzy sound, which contrasts sharply with the dark and angsty tone of much of The Cure's early work. Lyrically, the so...more
