The Cure - Just One Kiss (Extended Mix) (B side of 'Let's Go To Bed' 12 Inch Single, 1982)

Extended version, never released on CD.

[havable]

This is my favorite version of my favorite Cure song. I was at the peak of teenager when this came out and it was my anthem.

[dissident]

The best example for a B side which should be the A side of a single.

[CMZIEBARTH]

That throbbing bass. Oddly, Robert was The Cure's best bass player.

[davidellis]

This is better then the A Side. A " Pure " Cure song.

[jamesosborne]

The Cure contribution to my life is profound. From "3 Imaginary Boys" to Disintegration", "A Forest" to THIS to "A Night like This", some of the strongest musical emotions of sad/ecstasy ever.

[buffy]

the beginning just gives me goosebumps

[georgemandom]

Nobody talked about how awesome the beginning 5 seconds of this song is?

[daviddouglas]

A sirens song —- I earnestly, involuntarily steer toward the rocks

[deeder]

I've just heard this for the first time since I was 16 and remembered that I liked the B side to Let's Go To Bed, more, back then: Now I know why! It starts better and sounds better than the A side!

Last time I heard this was 40 Years ago

I bought this EP back in '83. I really liked the Cure. I was going through the intensity of love and desire, and this song was perfect for that.

[aaronbenson]

I really do miss this era of the Cure. The adventurous experimentation, the wild songwriting, the prolific activity... They didn’t sound repetitive or monotonous. And everything in the song works... Nothing the Cure has done since 1996 has remotely this interesting.

[SogoTX]

The emotions and atmosphere this song evokes are so powerful... to play this while with a Lover in the throws of passion will always be a part of me... ;)

[daviddouglas]

You’ll never solve the gravity of sorrow, Never complete never finish understanding why this music makes you remember, vividly, makes you ponder even regret. Like a smell, a particular odor your brain then revives total recall of Sounds colors exact names and events. Exact conversations. The cure does this also, Haunting muse inspired dirges as equally dark as they are beautiful, a lovely purgatory. God help me but I love it still.

[vincenzollamas]

i remember being so shocked and appalled that they did not put THIS version on Japanese Whispers. i found this on The Walk extended ep cassette later on.

[RSBurgener]

This is the best version if this song. I didn't hear it until I secured The Walk on vinyl in my thirties. Thanks for posting this!

[kdphotos]

I used to play this on college Radio. It was a toilet break song, along with Malcolm McClaren's "Madame Butterfly." They played long enough to allow a trip to the toilet...

[jamesreynolds]

This was the hit that only the hip knew. This was the cures absolute essence on a B side of a bad song. This was religion! This was what they existed for. Not the cut down 'original' version. This "extended" is the studio take of the original.

[AndroklisPolymenis]

Remember the time that you reigned all night?
The queen of Siam in my arms
Remember the time that the islands sank?
But nobody opened their eyes
Remember that time that the trees fell down?
The wood crashing through the wall
Remember the sound that could wake the dead?
But nobody woke up at all
Somebody died for this
Somebody died for just one kiss
Just one kiss
Remember the time that the sky went black?
We waited alone on the sands
Remember the taste of the raging sea?
But nobody held out their hands
Somebody died for this
Somebody died for just one kiss
Just one kiss, just one kiss, just one kiss

Songwriters: Laurence Andrew Tolhurst / Robert James Smith

One of the best later tracks before they extended the members
