rad video: THE CURE – “Pictures of You”

secretly i’ve fallen in love with my gym because you can do cardio and stare directly into your own tv. its weird being plugged into machines but, i get to watch all kinds of music videos which makes my soul rejoice.

this morning i caught THE CURE – “PICTURES OF YOU” video!!! i had no idea there was even a video. i am SUCH a fan. not to mention this song came off “DISINTEGRATION” – which is the best album ever. i saw them perform in ALBANY when i was 14 and that moment still has not left me.

as i watched the video, i remembered back to when i was 14. i had a boyfriend who i was smitten with. he was older (16 i think), played drums in a band, had dyed my hair blue with manic panic, and we’d spend hours on the phone just talking about music and music videos.

after our summer long romance resulted in me not “sealing the deal”. i wrote him a long letter where my broken heart poured out how much i “loved” and missed him while quoting lyrics from this song…

“there was nothing in the world that i ever wanted more
than to feel you deep in my heart.

there was nothing in the world that i ever wanted more than to never feel the breaking apart
my pictures of you”

(i was always an old soul)

oh! young love!

anyways, i still know him today. he’s actually doing his music thing professionally and he’s happily married with a beautiful son
