Inbetween Days (Shiver Mix)
The Cure · Mixed Up [1990]
I felt like I could die
Yesterday I got so old
It made me want to cry
Go on, go on
Just walk away
Go on, go on
Your choice is made
Go on, go on
And disappear
Go on, go on
Away from here
And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
Inbetween without you
Without you
Yesterday I got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside
Come back, come back
Don't walk away
Come back, come back
Come back today
Come back, come back
Why can't you see?
Come back, come back
Come back to me
And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
Inbetween without you
Without you
Inbetween Days (Shiver Mix)
The Cure's "Inbetween Days" stands as a defining track from their 1990 album *Mixed Up*, capturing the band's transition toward a darker, more atmospheric sound. Originally released on the *Mixed Up* album, this recording reflects Robert Smith's evolving songwriting during a pivotal era in their discography. The Shiver Mix, a specific reworking of the original track, enhances the song's moody texture with a heavier, more driving bassline and distorted guitars, characteristic of the band's post-punk revival phase. While the song does not appear on their greatest hits collections, its influence on alternative rock and gothic pop remains significant. The track exemplifies the band's ability to blend melancholic lyrics with a sonic landscape that would come to define their later work, cementing its place in the canon of 1990s indie music.
