"I've never been a big fan of irony," Smith has said, which might explain why this reverie of love, cut at a vineyard in the South of France, is his favorite Cure song. Their girlfriends hung out at the sessions, which influenced the music. "The girls would sit on the sofa in the back of the control room and give the songs marks out of ten," Smith said. "So there was a really big female input." It was the Cure's first U.S. Top Forty hit.
