New Cure Video - "Sleep When I'm Dead"
The latest installment of the Cure's pre-album release Single Of The Month Club, "Sleep When I'm Dead," threw us for a loop on Monday, coming unexpectedly in repeated-clip form. But now thanks to a YouTube upload by Craig, he of the comprehensive Cure fansite Chain Of Flowers -- a great go-to for obsessive updates on all sorts of Cure related news points and ephemera, even if he doesn't always love our Cure takes (wink, Craig) -- we get the whole cut fastened to the black and white official vid for the song.
It's a pretty straight forward, closed-studio performance clip (save some errant zooms and focus dissolves) for a pretty straight forward studio Cure song (save, well, nothing), but after hearing Scarlett mercilessly hack away at "Boys Don't Cry," I'll count blessings and take a straight forward take on the Cure, by the Cure, any day.
We'll get one more single on August 13th, and then it's LP13 time, due out 9/13.

I love this song. Although I like the live version better
Score = 3
i like it, but you could probably tell most people this was u2 and get away with it.
Score = 0
Well, if by "most people" you mean people who have never heard either the Cure or U2, then yes, you're right.
Score = 2
this is the funniest, scariest, most horrible song from a legendary band i've ever heard.
Score = 1
@ boz: The Cure has done MUCH MUCH worse. This is not even nearly as embarrassing as say, CLUB AMERICA, from the WILD MOOD SWINGS album, a whole record full of poop songs.
Score = 0
It is a bit like "The Baby Screams" though...
Not judging, just noticing.
Score = 0
Who knew they were Warren Zevon fans?
Score = 0
Had it, lost it, but doesn't even know. I love love love the early Cure records, but I agree this is embarrassing - even worse is a 50ish man in eyeliner and teased out hair. Will that really help sales?
Score = 1
