5.0 out of 5 stars "Songwords" is pure poetry., December 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Cure: Songwords, 1978-1989 (Paperback)

Robert Smith is undoubtably one of the most gifted songwriters of our time. His lyrics are full of unique imagery, with emotions that range from the highs of elation to the depths of dispair... The words are sometimes soothing-- other times bordering on disturbing and bizarre-- but always honest and thought-provoking. His lyrics stand alone beautifully as modern poetry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply a must for collectors...., August 6, 1998

chaosofdesire@yahoo.com (Cincinnati, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Cure: Songwords, 1978-1989 (Paperback)

This is the collection of emotions, more than words... a collection of thoughts an history of the Cure. Lyrics to everything up through Disentigration, it is a must for any die hard Cure collector. Ever wonder what the lyrics to some of those b-sides on the Kiss Me album, they're in here!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars an ESSENTIAL for Cure fans everywhere, August 5, 1998

vnothing@yahoo.com (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Cure: Songwords, 1978-1989 (Paperback)

Songwords from 1979-1989. An excellent book. Especially for those early lyrics that aren't in the CD inserts. It's even good as just a book of poetry to read sometimes.

Robert Smith's lyrics are of another world. He is the only true poet of our generation. His words can create emotions that Dickinson would be jealous of. Read more
