Lovesong

This is a beautiful love song. The words are really beautiful, but the music is really sad. I think that this is to show that sometimes love can be so beautiful that it causes pain.

Robert wrote this song as a wedding gift for his wife, Mary Poole.

Even though this song is sad and depressing, it's absolutely beautiful and will always be one of my favorite Cure songs.

Chloe le Fay is right, it's written for his wife Mary. Robert said this about lovesong: "Yeah, it was cause me 'n' Mary got married last year and I couldn't think of what to give her, for a wedding present (laughs), so I wrote her that song... cheap and cheerful... she would've preferred diamonds, I think, but... I dunno... she might look back and be glad that I gave her that."

Question... Is he singing of a love that he knows is doomed? A love that has already ended? Or is he actually expressing his love in this COMPLETELY depressing manner??

This is probably one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard...there is a certain amount of sadness to this song but, well, the Cure WERE a goth band...I think it works

I don't really see it as depressing... its like.. this beautiful sadness that erupts, but there's nothing really sad about it. Like when you cry when aomeone says "I love you", and you know its true. Its like showing sadness for some of the beauty it can posess. I mean the music, the lyrics are the kind of thing that would provoke those tears.

This song is a masterpiece.

This song was a wedding gift to his wife! He wanted to get her something that would always be around, instead of a ring or that sort. So he wrote her a song, which in reality, means more than a material item...

i don't think it's depressing, it's very sincere, from the bottom of his heart..
