Songs about happiness murmured in dreams

I knew I would leave you with babies and everything

On this date, in 1989, the Cure released Disintegration. I love this album.

Pictures of You

Lovesong

Fascination Street

If it is accurate to say that I love this album, and as I wrote that I love this album above, it is accurate, it is safe to say that I adore this song.

Watching these videos, I was struck by a couple of things. The first being that these are great rock songs. Fascination Street is sublime in brilliance.

And then we get to the title track...

Disintegration

This is another a great rock song and it has one of my favorite lyrics of all time...

I never said that I would stay 'til the end, I knew I would leave you with babies and everything...

One of the other things that I observed is that they were great in spite of the shtick. Rollins makes a joke about Robert Smith saying that he is a "Hell of a songwriter" but why did he make that "choice".

I am just glad that this album was made and fifteen year old me loved this album nearly as much as thirty seven year old me does.
