I've had this track lined up for awhile. Time for a love song from the head of The Cure's Robert Smith
One of those songs that had chart success at the time of its release in 1987, including being the band's breakthrough in America, though it wasn't huge. Subsequently it has received many nominations in 'Greatest Songs' lists, and in 2019 Billboard ranked it No.1 on their list of the 40 greatest The Cure songs. While Robert Smith said he considers "Just Like Heaven" to be one of the band's strongest works, and called it "the best pop song The Cure have ever done".
Today's Star Track, from the LP 'Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me', is 'Just Like Heaven' with its 50 second instrumental intro, a definite The Cure trademark. 


Plus a Special Extra:
A Rick Beato: 'What makes this song great ?' - 13 minutes that adds a level of appreciation and insight into the song. Recommended. Watch it here
