The prompt is #Substance
The Cure, “A Short Term Effect” from Pornography, 1982
Lyric:
A day without substance, a change of thought
An atmosphere that rots with time
Colours that flicker in water, a short term effect
#TheCure had evolved steadily since their debut,Three Imaginary Boys, by the time they produced this atmospheric proto-#goth release.
I can't help but hear these lyrics as almost comically stereotypically goth-dreary now - the perspective of maturity, or world-weary cynicism? -
but they do reflect lead and driving force #RobertSmith's self awareness about the substances he and his bandmates were reputed to be indulging in at the time, and when I let go and sink into the music, yeah, it still works.
Some progress shots of a portrait I’m currently working on.
After a year of health issues and chronic pain I’m attempting to get back into a routine and also filming my process for my other socials.
My line work does not always reflect the final piece.
I’m really enjoying drawing Robert Smith, especially as I’ve never drawn him before. He’s been a nice reintroduction to working and creating content for socials while not feeling pressured.
You can find my other socials in my profile.
#Listening to Songs Of A Lost World, I'm starting to understand how The Cure got a reputation for being so gloomy;

I have to say I prefer their more upbeat stuff.

THE CURE
The Head On The Door
1985 Canada pressing
Pound for pound, my favorite #80s Cure album for sure, & only beat out by Wish overall (I know I’m in the minority with Wish).
A great Sunday spin, with a good balance of the doom + gloom Robert Smith, & the catchy, sunny Bob.
I always forget how great “Six Different Ways” is until I hear it again.
Definitely should have been a single.

#30DaySongChallenge Day 20: A song that you'd love to play at your wedding
Well, here's a song we did play at our wedding -- my wedding march was "#Plainsong" by #TheCure! (Being a DJ, I looped the instrumental bit long enough to walk down the aisle, timed out by the number of steps it would take)...
