From Q Magazine (April 2016).
I First Made Love To This
Pictures of You, The Cure (1989)
"I was obsessed with The Cure when I was in High School. I had Cure posters all over my wall. At 15, my first real boyfriend also really loved The Cure. Before that, I thought I was gonna save myself for marriage, because I grew up religious, but then I met this person and I was really in love with him, and I lost my virginity to Pictures of You, which I thought was really romantic! I love that all Robert Smith's songs are so romantic. It gave me hope - oh, I want to feel that, that intense deep love that I'd never experienced before. Pictures of You is sad, though - ironic that I lost my virginity to it..."

The album version or shorter single-edit I wonder...
ReplyDeleteAccording to her boyfriend it was the 12 inch extended version.
DeleteI had a girlfriend that thought I'd enjoy doing it to the Cure, and I had to stop and turn it off. I was like, "This is disgusting. I can't hump to the Cure... it's just wrong. These songs aren't humping songs."
ReplyDeleteHaving sex to The Cure would seem sacrilegious.
DeleteTry it, it's great
DeleteYeah it's awesome.
DeleteFunny this makes me think of Lost Souls. "Robert Smith's lips, magnified several thousand times"...
DeleteI used to make out to the whole of Disintegration with my first serious lover! So strange to think about now!
