i was about 12 then my father shared some CDs with me, and besides whatever he was listening to in the 90s (like nirvana, rhcp, smashing pumpkins), he also had the cure’s latest album “4:13 Dream” and a compilation album “Galore” – that’s how i was introduced to their music!

ppl rarely mention “4:13 Dream” but this album was so influential on me – the haunting yet dreamy sound took me away from the horrifying reality to some imaginary world of mine

and later, a few years passed and i found out my grandfather also has some the cure cassette tapes – it was “The Top” and “Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me” – ngl i was blown away

but since i was so desperate to conform i didn’t share those tastes of mine with my friends and how shocked i was then in high school my friend introduced me to post-punk music and i met another side of The Cure which i also deeply love

I remember listening to The Top, it was their first “happier” album after the trilogy Seventeen Seconds, Faith and Pornography. I was thinking, whoa, where are the gloomy songs? Haha, still awesome, though.

I got into The Cure when I was 12 as well. Lots of their songs were playing on the radio at the time, like Close To Me and Inbetween Days. I through Robert Smith was the coolest human being alive 🙂
