I can not say just how much I love the original version of this song. Back in my early tweens and teens nothing compared to the Cure. I was the girl with dark hair and eyes wanting nothing more than to have someone make me feel good, yet skeptical if someone tried to. This was one of my favorite the Cure songs for a very long time...okay okay it still is. I first heard this cover in 2004 when it was featured on the soundtrack for 50 First Dates. I literally stopped what I was doing and looked at my tv. I remember I was cleaning up and just stood there. It is THE BEST COVER of this song.
This can tell so many stories. I hold it close to my heart. It makes me cherish the times I am alone with a loved one. Just that moment when everything around you just stops and nothing else seems to matter. You are just lost in time and space....even if you are not doing anything at all. I love that feeling of comfort, wholeness and dizziness. And then that moment ends. It's gone but, the feelings linger on, the memories don't fade but, life has come back to reality. Conflicting of course, yet just what you needed at that time in your life.
"...wI'm alone with you you make me feel like I am free again whenever I'm alone with you you make me feel like I am clean again..."
Those are my favorite lyrics.....feelings of newness.
