    I am 53 years old now, have been a huge fan of The Cure since the beginning. Yet somehow their music and Robert’s iconic voice and lyrics mean more to me now than they ever have before. I find new meaning and significance in their songs now when I listen to them, and for that I am eternally grateful. It is hard enough these days, navigating through the darkness, but with The Cure’s music it can be done.

      @@DJdext My CD copy just came the day after Thanksgiving here in the States. The album sounds so good. The remaster really does the album justice. Wish is a great album but the original CD pressings back in ‘92 always sounded muffled and muted. The remaster sounds so rich and crisp. When I heard Open and High I cut loose w/ a yell because I could hear all of Boris’ wind chimes and wood blocks clearly. Don’t even talk about the sea of sound coming from the guitars.

    I was 18 when this album came out, and the radio stations in my area sucked. They all played 80’s bubblegum music, hair bands, or classic rock. So no, this song wasn’t played on the radio at all where I was from. At least not when it first came out in ‘89. The only way you could hear it was to pop in a cassette, or if you were lucky and had enough money for a CD player, which were ridiculously expensive then, that’s how you listened to The Cure in the 80’s, before a song hit the mainstream Top 40. Which this song did, but not till 1990. When Disintegration came out in ‘89, my best friend skipped school to go to the record store and get it. That evening, she called me and said “OMG…you HAVE to come over right now and listen to this!” And we stayed up all night and just listened over and over for hours. It was great! Good memories, and we are in our 50’s now, but will still both adore The Cure.

    For me Robert Smith is litterally one of,if not the best songwriters of all time. Let alone for being "different". The cure have been with me as my mum loves them so I grew up listening to them, but finding my own love for Robert Smith and the cure is just unreal, they are truly unmatched, just amazing that something released in the 1980s can keep so many people connected even if it's on UA-cam etc, wow

    Oh, it's opening time down on Fascination Street
    So let's cut the conversation and get out for a bit
    Because I feel it all fading and paling and I'm begging
    To drag you down with me, to kick the last nail in
    Yeah, I like you in that, like I like you to scream
    But if you open your mouth, then I can't be responsible
    For quite what goes in or to care what comes out
    So just pull on your hair, just pull on your pout
    And let's move to the beat like we know that it's over
    If you slip going under, slip over my shoulder
    So just pull on your face, just pull on your feet
    And let's hit opening time down on Fascination Street
    So pull on your hair, pull on your pout
    Cut the conversation, just open your mouth
    Pull on your face, pull on your feet
    And let's hit opening time down on Fascination Street
    Down on Fascination Street
    Down on Fascination Street
    Down on Fascination Street
    On Fascination Street

    The Cure’s music instantly transports me to a place of melancholy comfort and longing. As a teen… it was part of me… I felt like I could burst with emotion when I would listen to their music or even think about it…. I had such deep seated love for every song. Today… I still love listening to The Cure and I get instantly transported back to a place of emotional innocence and I let those memories wash over me with a yearning nostalgia. I wish I could go back to those times…..

    I was a problematic teen which got sent to Monterrey Mexico back in the summer of 89 to live with my grandparents because of the trouble I was getting in. There were only a handful of tv stations and I was bored af. But at 7pm one station played music videos and this song would play almost every airing. I looked so forward to it. Plus I was also introduced to a band called Caifanes which had a song called “Viento.” These two songs held me through my time there. I needed that break.
