I don't know exactly how to word this, but some of the songs The Cure have made give me the chills. It could be the imagery in the lyrics, the music, or a combination of the two things. Some songs that come to mind are At Night (lyrics remind me of a stalker), Pornography (voices intro, drowning people in showers), and Subway Song (even before the scream). These are some of my favorite songs by The Cure, not knocking them or anything; but does anyone else get chills from songs, or parts of songs, The Cure have made?
I think some songs on 'The Top' would fall in this category, specially 'The Top'. I think that album is the scariest (if you want to put an adjective) The Cure has made. Does everybody thinks the same?
The music on the song "The Top" is probably my favorite on the album. It gets stuck in my head for days, simple but awesome. It is a little unsettling, especially the first time I heard it (and with the lyrics about lonliness, I just imagine someone injured/wounded on top of a mountain yelling please come back). Anyway, that was kind of a rant but I like the pick.
The first half of "The Scream" immediately comes to mind. That and "New Day."
Fear of Ghosts , Subway Song, the whole Faith album except Primary gives me chills
@dsanchez The Top ... no not for me ...
Cure songs can be quite good at giving you the chills...Lullaby may be one of the creepiest for the lyrics alone but songs like Pornography, Fear of Ghosts, or Other Voices can send a shiver down your spine (in a good way)
For albums as a whole, Faith or 17 Seconds probably would get my vote. I feel 17 Seconds is one of their best albums but they still had this raw creepy feel in their music, love it.
Pornography is downright creepy and scary, but I love the song.
Siamese Twins is creepy.
For a unknown reason is New Day, i listen creepiness in there.
Subway Song...
I agree...subway song :smth023
"Fear of Ghosts" - creepy title and the music makes it sound "mysterious" too...
Subway Song, Pornography, and One hundred years
The Top is pretty creepy too
