Lovesong is a rock song written by the English band Cure. The song was released as a third single from their eighth album, Disintegration (1989). Right after the song was released, it started getting positive reviews, especially from critics living in America. The song quickly reached the second spot in October 1989, becoming the Cure's only top entry on the Billboard Hot 100. On the other hand, in the United Kingdom, the song peaked at number 18 in the single charts, and it also reached the top 20 in Canada and Ireland, respectively.
Over the years, the song has been covered by many artists. Some of the notable versions of the song were by American rock band 311, which was used in the movie 50 First Dates, and the same song was released as a single by the band. Furthermore, Adele, the famous female singer and songwriter, has also performed her version of this song for her album 21, released in 2011.
When learning Lovesong by The Cure, you will find out that the song is performed in A minor and has some really solid bass riffs, making the song so catchy and pleasing to the ears. The single version of the song is almost similar to what you get in the album; the difference is in the mixing of the song, as you can hear extra reverb and harmonies added to the top of Smith's vocals. Furthermore, in the instrument section of the song between the two verses, the guitar does not follow the chords of keyboards, which is something you can find in the album version.
We have Mike Walker as your guitar instructor for the guitar chord lesson of Lovesong by The Cure. Mike has been connected with music since he was 14 when he first started playing guitar. Mike wanted to master the art of the neo-classical works of Malmsteen and Macalpine. When he was 16 years old, he found guitar tapping techniques too astonishing, so he got curious about how he could learn and use them in his music composition. Mike founded two bands in his career, and his second band, Rule of 7, won the Grammy Unsigned Band Contest in 2005. Since 2005, Mike has also been teaching guitar lessons online and offline.
