I really like The Cure's music, but I am a new listener and I am wondering if they have happy songs?

TLDR: Plainsong, Just Like Heaven, Pictures Of You, High

The Cure just grew into being my favourite band right now, I remember checking out the post punk genre on rate your music seeing Disintegration at the top, the cover looked cool and I wanted to see what it's like. Outside of Lovesong, Lullaby and Disintegration, I just didn't get it and I had a bad impression and association with windchimes.

Later when I really got into post punk from a different band i started listening for more and Fascination Street came on with that bass I was flabbergasted that that song was on that album and I never noticed how good it was. So I listened for more and one by one every song just clicked. The hardest grower was Plainsong though. The type of synths and chords just reminded me of old people...(Sorry if that's mean) but then it just got totally reframed over time and now it just feels so ethereal, heavenly and euphoric. Its really pleasing to listen to. The chimes are also beautiful to me now rather than jarring. Complete 180

It's one of the best examples for me of how just exposure and different perspectives make music you aesthetically dislike at first, shed all the preconceived notions over time and shape it into something cool.

Then Pictures Of You also just clicked when I listened to that bass line, the textures, the icy chimey guitars. The song just clicked right away coming back to it somehow.

Just Like Heaven also had to do a ton of growing. It's all due to how sparkly and sugary the song felt and that 80s synth again just reminded me of old people, but overtime I found myself wanting to listen to the song and then I kinda got addicted to it and that synth sounds so good now. Also realized it has some subtle melancholy to it with the chords I didn't realize before and it made it not feel so straightforward, more digestible.

Also all of that pornography era minimalism grew on me an incredible amount. I always loved A Forest but then the entire Faith album felt dull to me. Now I find myself fascinated by that cold feel and want to listen to it and it's weirdly become catchy.

Hello there! I was curious, is there some specific rules about posters on the cure concert? I just wanted to make one when I’ll shortly write how thankful I am to Robert. And so is it better to write it on fabric or I can do it on paper anyway? I will also look for the stadium rules, just wanted to know some of yours opinion. Thanks!

Saw someone use this on the Mogwai sub, a great tool to visualise your gigs and setlists: https://whativeheard.com

I synched it with my setlist.fm account and this is my Cure one. What’s yours?

I’ve bought tickets from a friend for the cure live in Manchester next month. He’s unable to transfer the tickets over to my Ticketmaster account due to there being an issue. Will they become transferable nearer to the time of the gig or is the tickets even on ticketmaster not transferable? Thanks
