Love this so much.
For some reason it passed me by at the time ..... being a blinkered soul & New Wave boy?
That really is such a beautiful song. The tune is so fairy-tale princess (for want of a better description!) and the lyrics are timeless.
Why would a 20 something write "you make me feel young again" "you make me feel fun again" .... maybe he was thinking ahead
love the hushed "fly me to the moon" line too
Hi Pearl.
I assume that Robert Smith wrote it about his gf/wife Mary?
I think they were young geniuses per se. To compose this stunning music/song when they about 20 years old, is insane.
Silly of me, but I've always been proud of the Sussex connection.
Great song, but I do like this kinda Joy Division style cover by young Salmi Salmiak who plays all the instruments.

I like that, I can see why you do too ... there’s an Appalachian twang to the guitar work . The bass section reminiscent of Hookie and Steve Morris.
