The prompt is #Substance

The Cure, “A Short Term Effect” from Pornography, 1982

Lyric:
A day without substance, a change of thought
An atmosphere that rots with time
Colours that flicker in water, a short term effect

#TheCure had evolved steadily since their debut,Three Imaginary Boys, by the time they produced this atmospheric proto-#goth release.

I can't help but hear these lyrics as almost comically stereotypically goth-dreary now - the perspective of maturity, or world-weary cynicism? -
but they do reflect lead and driving force #RobertSmith's self awareness about the substances he and his bandmates were reputed to be indulging in at the time, and when I let go and sink into the music, yeah, it still works.

Pound for pound, my favorite #80s Cure album for sure, & only beat out by Wish overall (I know I’m in the minority with Wish).

A great Sunday spin, with a good balance of the doom + gloom Robert Smith, & the catchy, sunny Bob.

I always forget how great “Six Different Ways” is until I hear it again.
Definitely should have been a single.

Happy anniversary to The Cure’s single, “High”. Released this week in 1992. #thecure #robertsmith #high #wish

One more cover... Of course, #TheCure's cover of #DavidBowie's #YoungAmericans. A bit on the poppy side, but it must have been one of #RobertSmith's wild mood swings...

Tuesday, Wednesday, stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday, I'm in love"

Sketches & notes towards my next project (even though I haven't finished my current project).

"I am interested in the territory of "MASCULINITY" as mapped out by #MarcBolan & #RobertSmith, with "BOYS DON'T CRY" as a signpost/manifesto planted in the middle"

I was very high when I wrote that!

This song and post are for all on this US Election Day. Regardless of the outcome, never forget the power that Love holds and the power of how good people to act and to lead and to do the right things. "Friday I'm In Love" is a far more political song than many realize. Peace and love to all. #Vote
