New Day

The first time I heard this song, 1. it frightened me; 2. made my brain feel like it was being twisted around like a wad of Silly Putty; and 3. I knew I had to listen to it again to make sure it was real. Definitely odd, original and dark (drug induced, as well), "New Day" is something I personally think every Cure fan should hear. After a few initial listens, I really actually enjoy this song. On the walk back to his hotel room after recording this song in 1984, Robert Smith collapsed and had to be taken to the hospital. Not too surprising, if you've ever heard the song....

'The Dust the seed' referes to sperm. And fire is sex. He uses symbolism from Dylan Thomas and uses the same words in 'Let's go to bed' with 'it used to be the dust that would lay here when I came here alone' He is finding refuge in sex with a woman that he finds heaven-like. He finds rebirth in his encounters with this woman and through their 'solid dance', as he can alweays count on her for a booty call. Yet, she want's to get to know him more and more during their post sex pillow chat, where she 'crack the stone invade my head dropping honey dropping dead again' but he is not looking for a relationship as he gives her no insight to his inner person and 'the silence shouts across the gap' Still he feels renewed with her 'a new day'

real fucking good songs, love the intensity of it

Only Smith could produce the vocals for this song. Genius!
