Coheed and Cambria’s Claudio Sanchez has shared his cover of the The Cure’s 1987 song “Just Like Heaven”.
The cover is the Coheed and Cambria frontman’s latest entry for his “Claudio’s Covers” series.
Of the cover, Sanchez said:
“This song was introduced to me by some friends as a cover done by Dinosaur Jr. They were skaters, so the reference to ‘tricks’ at the top of the song conjured up ideas of a smitten lover’s curiosity for executing kick-flips and rail slides. At the time, I didn’t know much of The Cure’s discography outside of ‘Boys Don’t Cry’, ‘Disintegration’, and ‘Wish’.
The albums that glued those classics together were a mystery to me. The discovery of The Head On The Door lead me to Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me and the introduction to the original Just Like Heaven. It’s a strange but powerful relationship to have with a song when your introduction is someone else’s interpretation of it. I think that’s why I chose Just Like Heaven for this month’s cover.”
Claudio Sanchez’ cover of “Just Like Heaven” follows his rendition of The Smashing Pumpkins’ song “Stumbleine”.Ni
