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.
