"Heaven Knows" that we are almost finished with my favorite songs with "Heaven" in the title (and no, Donna Summer will not appear here,) series. We are at #2: "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure.
From The Cure's 1987 album, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, "Just Like Heaven" puts vocalist/guitarist Robert Smith's wicked pop sensibility on full display (and it's that pop side that keeps me from categorizing The Cure as a goth band.)
The Cure had been releasing singles since the late 1970's, but it took until 1987 and "Just Like Heaven" to score a Top 40 (#40) hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
I've linked to a live performance from 1990.
Enjoy!

I really need to use The Cure less. Nah.

Can't believe they showed up in one of your countdowns, just like you can't believe Robbie Fulks showed up in mine today.
Good song, of course.

It's almost like Robert Smith wrote his songs with me in mind!
