[…] The Cure, “Plainsong”
Many people would think that listening to anything by The Cure, even the stupidly happy “Friday I’m In Love”, would be a step closer to the pill bottle. “Plainsong” is a track I can only listen to when I’m really down because it’s then that I find it beautifully uplifting.
