Home | Theme Song: "Another Day"

Apr 29, 2009

Three Imaginary Boys was The Cure's 1979 U.K. debut album. (Their U.S premiere was released in 1980 as Boys Don't Cry.) The album's fourth track on Imaginary Boys, a dirge called "Another Day" is one of the best songs on the record. You can hear many of the characteristic sounds of The Cure already in development in this 3:45 piece.

Not sure what it is about the lyrics to this song, but they really do it for me:

The sun rises slowly
On another day
The eastern sky grows cold
Winter in water colours
Shades of grey

Or maybe it's just Robert Smith's delivery.

I hate to sound like an old man -- as Joe says, "Hey, you kids -- Get off of my lawn!" -- but it just seems like pop music was more interesting back in the day.
