From the album
Disintegration
The Cure · 1989 · Track 7
The story behind
The Cure released «Lovesong» on August 21, 1989, as the third single taken from Disintegration, their eighth studio album. The piece was composed by Robert Smith and has a duration of 3 minutes and 24 seconds. In commercial terms, the song had considerable impact on a global scale: in the United States it reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, while in the United Kingdom it peaked at number 18. It also reached the top 20 in Canada, Ireland and the Netherlands. The band included an extended version of the track on Mixed Up, their remix album released in 1990. At the time of the single's release, a music video was also made available, in which the members of the group appear playing inside a cave. The title of the track presents a minor spelling variation depending on the release: it appears written as «Lovesong» —without a space— in most editions, including the single itself and the albums Paris and Galore. By contrast, the form «Love Song» —with a space— is the one found in the Disintegration booklet and in the 2001 compilation Greatest Hits. Numerous artists have recorded their own versions of the track. Among them are 311, FireHouse, A Perfect Circle, Imagine Dragons, The Big Pink, The Deluxtone Rockets, Jack Off Jill, Deep Purple, The Honeydrippers, Helloween, Azam Ali/Niyaz, Ira Losco, Death Cab for Cutie, Journey, The Human League, Anberlin, Seafood, Snake River Conspiracy, The Generation, Dope, Otep, Adele, Bon Jovi, Poison, Tori Amos, Voltaire and Blake Lewis. There is also a Spanish-language version in a cumbia style, performed by Kumbia Queers.
