The story behind the song

This song from The Cure's 1987 album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me has been described as a "psych-folk gem" that highlights the band's '60s British pop influences. The music video was filmed in a unique, slightly decaying French villa, which featured a spiral staircase and rooms filled with old, rotting items, creating a distinct atmosphere. At its heart, the song plays like a nostalgic, wistful reflection on a fleeting moment or a lost connection.
