Underneath the stars!!!!

[splitmilk34]

Having just heard the studio version of this song, I have to say I am BLOWN AWAY.  And I listened to it in "mono."  Cannot wait for this album...

This is the best Cure song in the last 10 years.

[Bloodflower]

I am amazed. Underneath the Stars is amazing. It has lived up fully to my lofty expectations. This ties Bloodflowers and Bare as the best song since Burn. I guess they still have it in them.

Where'd you get a copy of that???

[Secrets]

I think it's our same friend who had the Demo versions available.

I can't read the website, but thanks!

Ooops..I shouldn't post a link to an MP3 versions of a studio song or some such..so link deleted.

It seems like they really captured the same vibe as the live versions.  It was only when it fades out at the end could i tell it was just one of the live versions.

nah f*ck it.

i'm boycotting all new songs till i hear the album. Next album I'm gonna def boycot LISTENING TO [not buying] them until the record is out. This whole experience has spoiled it for me...

I actually heard the song through Chain of Flowers.  It was played on a French radio station and someone was kind enough to alert Craig of this. 

I did not listen to, hear or download the song directly off of the album (nor would I until it's properly released).

I was very curious about how this one would survive the studio treatment. Now I've heard it and must say I liked it a lot, sounded quite close to the live versions I've heard, al-THOUGH...there's that "new song messiness" again! The sound comes off so muddled in my ears (I was listening to a recording of it being played on the radio but still...), and it sounds like Jason is playing off beat several times (sounds a bit like he's drumming on plastic boxes in someone's cellar for that matter, but what do I know...). Is it supposed to be artsy? 

Still, like it loads. The gem of the album for sure.

i think the quality of the version commonly passed around (in mp3s) is really so poor-ish that hard to get really excited at all. i mean, we've all heard some live versions so we know what the song is alike in general and besides many (if not all) of those live versions sound heaps better in terms of quality/enjoyment than this. so...
but now that someone mentions it, it surely sounds just as messy as the singles did, yes... i'm hoping it's due to the (idiotic) compression that the radio stations add to everything these days, but who knows... (*afraid*?). :/
anyway i really didn't bother paying much attention to this at all, let's see if the released version is any better or not...

I've hear the studio version and I must say, I prefer the live version. Actually, I think most songs of The Cure sound better live than in studio (with some exceptions as Charlotte Sometimes, for instance).

I'm pretty sure this is a demo.

So...
