To The Sky

The Cure · Join The Dots: B-Sides & Rarities 1978-2001 [2003]

One perfect morning I was all alone

Listening to the blaze of summer

Drifting

I was falling

I was floating in a golden haze

Breathing in the sky blue sounds

Of memories of other days

And in my dreams I was a child

Flowers in my mouth and in my eyes

And I was floating through the colours of a sky

Up to the stars and angels

Up up up to heaven

Up up up forever

Up up up to heaven

Up up up forever

Turning in my climb

I looked down on a lake

And traced upon the water there

I saw your face

And sang in recollection

Of the times we shared...

Then pushed on ever upward

To the sky

And in my dreams I was a child

Flowers in my mouth and in my eyes

And I was floating through the colours of a sky

Up to the stars and angels

Up up up to heaven

Up up up forever

Up up up to heaven

Up up up forever

To The Sky

Released on the 2003 compilation Join The Dots: B-Sides & Rarities 1978-2001, "To The Sky" stands as a poignant song in The Cure's extensive catalogue. The track exemplifies the band's signature blend of melodic pop sensibilities with brooding, atmospheric textures that defined their work during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Often associated with the era surrounding their breakthrough album Disintegration, the song captures a specific mood of introspection and longing characteristic of Robert Smith's songwriting. Its inclusion in a retrospective collection highlights its enduring appeal and significance within the post-punk revival landscape, serving as a testament to the band's ability to craft emotionally resonant music that transcends its original release date.
