Just Like Heaven

October 27, 2011

I normally play an upbeat version of this LIVE but I kinda like it slower like this

Just Like Heaven” is a song by the British alternative rock band The Cure. The group wrote most of the song during recording sessions in southern France in 1987. The lyrics were written by the band’s front man Robert Smith, who drew inspiration from a past trip to the sea shore with his future wife.

“Just Like Heaven” was the third single released from the band’s 1987 album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, while Smith’s memories of the trip formed the basis for the song’s accompanying music video. The song became The Cure’s first American hit and in 1988 reached number 40 on the Billboard charts. It has been covered by artists such as Dinosaur Jr. and Katie Melua. Smith has said he considers “Just Like Heaven” to be one of the band’s strongest songs.
