I'm not sure why I love Fridays so much, but I do. In fact, my favorite band of all time wrote a song about them called, "Friday, I'm in Love." That is so very true. I am in love with Fridays, because the weekend is right around...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 6 Oct 19

Sometimes I just can't help but be blatantly obvious. As I present today's song on my countdown of songs with "bed" in the title I feel this is one of those times. Everybody (well, John) saw this one coming. And here it...

How The Cure kept me alive...

Colene @cpefley (1941) • San Jose, California 9 Jun 17

When I was 18, I left my life behind. I jumped on a plane, didn't tell anyone, and moved to Michigan from California. Yes...for a boy. In fact, he is bio dad of my oldest son, who is now 19. This 'boy' tried to educate me in the...

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43642) • Denver, Colorado 26 Nov 16

Since my Favorite "Time" Songs series wraps up tomorrow, I thought I'd take it further with Time of Day songs. What better way to start this Saturday night than with The Cure's "10:15 Saturday Night" at #10. Led by vocalist and...

Favorite Songs About Rain #7 - "Prayers For Rain"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43642) • Denver, Colorado 26 Jul 16

To some, such as farmers and forest fire-fighters, rain is needed and most welcome. Sometimes, rain is a happy, celebratory occasion, while for others, rain is dark and gloomy. We're going with dark and gloomy for #7 in my...

Top 10 Songs by The Cure #1 - "From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43642) • Denver, Colorado 17 Apr 16

#1 on my Top 10 Songs by The Cure was not a hit. Hell, it wasn't even released as a single, and there are undoubtedly songs that hardcore fans will tell you are better. Still, "From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea," out of all...

Top 10 Songs by The Cure #3 - "Burn"

A fantastic soundtrack can make a great movie even more memorable than it might have been with merely a "good" soundtrack. Shaft, Super Fly, American Graffiti, any Tarantino film, really, all benefited from great music. One of...

Top 10 Songs By The Cure #4 - "A Forest"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (43642) • Denver, Colorado 15 Apr 16

Is it wrong to have a favorite song by a band, only to have, eventually, one you like better come along? Do you still declare your allegiance to your favorite, or do you betray it for the bright, shiny new tune? That was the...
