Recording - Just Like Heaven
Just Like Heaven is a gorgeous song from the mid-1980s by The Cure, a group who had an undeserved reputation for being miserable, much like The Smiths. A lot of people didn’t see past the eyeliner, gloomy demeanour and straggly hair - if they had, they would have found any number of songs as beautiful as this one.
It’s performed on my cheap (and soon-to-be replaced) Hobgoblin Mountain Dulcimer. The bridge is falling to bits so the strings are buzzing a bit now.
This is a fairly lo-fi recording, made at home with a single stereo microphone plugged straight into a minidisc recorder.
