Disco de The Cure: “13th [#1]”

I can take or leave these 13th remixes. The song isn't that great to begin with. However, this is the only place that you can find "It Used To Be" which sounds more like a Disintegration B-side than one from Wild Mood Swings. A dark and moody song that is vintage Robert...vintage Cure. It is worth the price of the CD to be able to listen to that song over and over again.

My review for this CD is mainly due to the fact that it holds one of my personal favourite Cure songs "It Used to be Me"(and "Ocean" is really good too, plus an alternate "the 13th"). Someone really ticked off Robert before they cut this one and it shows. Bob sings about being stuck in a dead end relationship and feeling striped of dignity and identity. And that he realizes how it changes him.

Man, when will people learn, if you wrong this boy, he's just gonna turn around and write an angry song about you. gee. some people.

Anyway. I dig this song. It's pure Electricity. I even enjoy it more than any song off of Wild Mood Swings. And I can't understand why it isn't recorded on there. Or even on a soundtrack, or a compilation. Or anywhere where more people can hear it.

Darn it Robert. What's wrong with you. I just can't figure you out.

Right now he'll be writing a song about me. An angry one.

The 13th is a great single. The B-side It Used To Be Me, alone is worth it! My new favorite Cure Song! A must have for any Cure fan!

ever wonder if robert smith was say................less than completly straight? i mean he wears make up and all like that.but it could just be for theatrics like kiss.theres a b-side out called "a man in my mouth".thats more than a little suspicious.hes got a borderline feminine way of singing and can hit high notes pretty easily,like on love cats.theres the lip stick laden album kiss me kiss me kiss me.the single "why cant i be you" about a chick.well,he is married.what about the song "lullaby" where "spider man is having him for dinner tonight?"once again,this sounds a little fishy.then theres THE SINGLE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT ALL THAT LED UP TO.he has no kids and then released this single "the 13th".it has a very flamboyant and fresh from the closet feel to it.in it hes watching a chick on a stage and falling in love.its all good despite the closet thing.then theres the lines "i think i get a bit confused.am i seducing or being seduced?".thats not a question a guy with a girl would ask.i think hed have a pretty good idea.then it goes on to talk about "ill be all the things in a world ive never been.see all the things in a world ive never seen".............you see where im going with this.hes batting for the other team for the 1st time.also,theres the line"its like tonight im really not me at all".that could be alluding to something .and his lover,the girl,offers to"take him on another kind of ride".it just comes off less than masculine.oh yeah,and what about that video where theyre all in a closet together?then its to be continued and the big suprise at the end is it breaks and they all come out of the closet?i was a really big cure fan before this single came out but im not so sure now.they did an album called paris too.they couldve named it after any city in the world but named it after that one with a reputation for..................well,id better get back to the facts here.i hitchiked in the rain to go and buy this album and was downright disturbed to realize finaly that this guy id been defending the whole time had more than likely became a switch hitter!theres a unreleased b-side like with every cure single since they are after our money and do everything from a buisness standpoint.
