#Top31TheCure 1. A Forest I really debated which of my top 5 would get the nod- the other 4 probably mean more to me lyrically and emotionally but this hypnotic, transcendental and magical tune just won out. Obviously needs to be 12 mins plus for peak spiritual impact🙏 youtu.be/hnVldyHRcjU

#Top31TheCure No 4 The Last Day of Summer Even with a full catalogue of beautiful, moving songs expressing loss, this song always hits me the hardest. The most haunting and resigned lyrics but the standout is the exquisite but understated chiming guitar solos. Fucking gorgeous youtu.be/OcncFADKP4I
