Cureuphoria

Have you ever felt raw? Tonight I go out for training, it's cold, I walk with steady steps, and I feel raw.

It's a mixed kind of feeling, and got a forgotten taste of some old days,
but I cannot deny I am secretly in love with it, and I certainly don't ask myself how or why.

What can I say? I couldn't just go one way with this. Making a playlist called "The Cure FOR St. Valentine" would have not been right in a world that always embraces both sides of every spectrum, like that of The Cure.

Well, despite my reluctance for St. Valentine's Day (I'm just not of that kind, I guess), here I am, offering a selection of Cure songs that in my vision are a nice fit for the "Day Of Lovers", and which by the way I love.

After more than 7 years, The Cure go back to the their "classic" quintet format, with guitarist Reeves Gabrels officially joining the band.

I'm sure that Reeves will add a very nice dimension to the live sound of the band, as he demonstrated during the last summer festivals tour (2013), and as long as we can't get the magnificent Porl Thompson on stage (or in studio), we do get at the least a guitar player of the same caliber.
