1979- Huge band/album for me. Never played this song before until yesterday, took me a little while to find my place in it, and I forgot the verse leading into the bridge but I dig where that mistake took that verse.

1 live guitar/vocal (stereo)
1 rythm uke
1 lead uke
1 smooth steele  (thumbjam)
2 harmony vocal tracks

Fabulous. I don't think I know the original but this is a gorgeous song. Beautifully sung and played. ThumbJam makes it polished and complete.

So well done, hook - l really dig where you took this! That steel guitar is a great accompaniment...I almost get a Big Star vibe from it all.

I did like a lot of the Cure's early stuff back in the day (including this song), but I sort of soured on their later songs. So Cure fans probably won't care for my heretical views, but I can say I honestly prefer yours to original. Fest on, indeed!  :)

Good Lord, this is wonderful, off the scale of awesomeness. Brilliant! But!? 70's?! Feel! So! Old!

Beautifully done. I really like where you've gone with this. Shows there was a good song behind all Robert's smeared lipstick posturing after all! *

*I have mixed views on The Cure. I love certain songs, but didn't like the people who were into them at the time...

A real beauty of a cover Hook! Great vocals and the thumbjam steel is perfect for this song.
