Afternoon Lovely People,

I hope you all had a good weekend.

I can't believe that in all the years we have been running Independent Love Song, we have never featured The Cure. How has this happened!?

Iconic to the 80's and 90's, The Cure used to be a regular in my cassette player in my early teens, especially their album Disintegration which was the first album of theirs that I ever listened too and it blew me away. The lyrics are incredible and with songs like Lovesong, that we are featuring today, you can see why it is their biggest selling album to date.

Robert Smith, lead vocalist and guitarist of The Cure, wrote "Lovesong" as a wedding gift for his wife so you can see why it makes the most perfect choice for today's Independent Love Song. With lyrics that are honest and to the point and a note-perfect guitar solo, Lovesong is quite simply a brilliant choice for an alternative first dance love song....

Enjoy.
