Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream she said
The one that makes me laugh she said
Threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it and I'll promise you
I'll promise that I'll run away with you, I'll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
Kissed her face and kissed her head
Dreamed of all the different ways, I had to make her glow
Why are you so far away she said
Why don't you ever know that I'm in love with you?
That I'm in love with you?
You, soft and only, you lost and lonely
You, strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone, alone, alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved and drowned her deep inside of me
You soft and only
You lost and lonely
You just like heaven
The one that makes me scream she said
The one that makes me laugh she said
Threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it and I'll promise you
I'll promise that I'll run away with you, I'll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
Kissed her face and kissed her head
Dreamed of all the different ways, I had to make her glow
Why are you so far away she said
Why don't you ever know that I'm in love with you?
That I'm in love with you?
You, soft and only, you lost and lonely
You, strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone, alone, alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved and drowned her deep inside of me
You soft and only
You lost and lonely
You just like heaven

I love the Cure and cant stand the banjo. But this cover is so great that I actually like the banjo in it. 
Nope definitely not most excellent, it's outstanding!

Peppy indeed. How many bluegrass songs are in a minor key, or have slow tempo? Maybe none.
This actually works. It's a Cure song with an upbeat message, and bluegrass is inherently peppy stuff. I'm likin' it.

oh, yes. i'm with you! that version is awesome. and i do love the Wagon. i'd like to hear Muck, Out There and (my favorite), Start Choppin'. it's a bit strange that Dinosaur Jr isn't played much on RP.
Absolutely correct! Bill? What say you?

OMG that's hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.
I'm not sure how the goth/emo crowd would react to The Cure played through a banjo, but odds are it would depress them.

No, it doesn't work for me. Nothing with a banjo in it can ever sound acceptable to me, but a Cure classic....no thanks.

The Dinosaur Jr version of this is one of the best songs ever. FACT.
Need some Dinosaur on here. The Wagon would be right up Bill's street.

This is such a very, very, good cover!
I thinks this opens the door for RP to bring on some Hayseed Dixie for some bluegrass coveralls of AC/DC and others. Skeeew!

Sometimes it's better to just play the original and leave the cover alone.

I am enjoying this way too much. Hard not to sing along. So fun.
If you like this (and I do!), check out the Gourds cover of Gin and Juice by Snoop Dogg!

Prefer Richard Cheese's cover, myself.

Yes! Love that RP continues to branch out and expand the universe of music you're playing. I know not everyone loves bluegrass as much as myself but how can one not appreciate this cover?

Oh dear.... an abomination of a cover. Putting a banjo to a Cure song is so horribly horribly wrong.....

This is fucking awesome! An instant 8.
I hear this and I'm reminded of a comment on here about the Ben L'Oncle Soul cover of Seven Nation Army. It said (paraphrasing), if you were never aware this was a cover, you could make the mistake of thinking this was the original.

Or it may just be humour?
Perfect example of a cover that makes some people instantly close their minds to anything different. This is a great toe tapping version. Would never had heard it any place else. Thanks RP!
I immediately knew the tune and cringed, but, in the end, it was a lovely cover.

This happens from time to time. A friday afternoon winding down for the weekend and RP unearths something mindblowing.

A for effort. 1 for execution.

Spookily I am just de-duping a collection of Cure songs as this came on... Different yet familiar, lacking the bite.
That
Was
AWESOME!

Beautiful mash up....! How could you not like an epic 80's tune done up by epic 'grassers !?!?!?!?
