Cureuphoria

Halloween time, and for those who can’t help but thinking of what Cure songs best suits the darkest night of the year, there are quiet some to choose from the lot, aren’t there?

Well, I’ve put up a selection of what I consider the songs from The Cure that better evoke the Halloween atmosphere, and I tried to omit those that even being dark or obscure or sad or whatever, just don’t make me think of an Halloween soundtrack or feeling, kind of thing.

I must say that of all, the most representative for me is Fear Of Ghosts, and surely not because of the title. The sound of this song really outputs this overall atmosphere that is just so… well, Halloween, I might say.

And, Pornography is there almost in its entirety, obviously.

So, here’s the list, in no particular order at all:

• Lost
• The Scream
• Anniversary
• Prayers For Rain
• Watching Me Fall
• The Promise
• The Drowning Man
• Pornography
• Bloodflowers
• Lament
• The Kiss
• All I Want
• Fight
• Fear Of Ghosts
• Last Dance
• All Cats Are Grey
• The Figurehead
• Charlotte Sometimes
• Shake Dog Shake
• Want
• Adonais
• Cold
• Pornography
• A Short Term Effect
• End
• At Night
• One Hundred Years
• The Hanging Garden

Everything’s there, I think, or did I let out anything?
