C'est moi

This song is 29 years old… …and still understands the people of this country more than any government ever has…

The Cure make their US TV debut and perform 'Just Like Heaven' 💜⁠ ⁠ By 1988, The Cure’s music was seemingly heard quietly echoing through the dorm rooms and University rec-rooms of the US and the UK for quite some time. Despite their popularity, the band had never made their TV debut in the US. That would all change, of course, at the 1988 MTV Awards when they performed their massive hit ‘Just Like Heaven’.⁠ ⁠ As the footage of the performance shows, Robert Smith and the rest of the band deliver a quite sumptuous arrangement of the song and officially achieved what every UK band dreams of doing: The Cure made a big old crack in the American market.⁠ ⁠ It seems strange for a band who had been together since 1976 to only make their big break in the US 12 years later and, it has to be said, even weirder still when you consider that during the early days of MTV, The Cure were a relatively permanent fixture. In many people’s minds, they would be an archetype of the time.⁠
