Coheed And Cambria’s Claudio Sanchez Cover’s The Cure’s Classic “Just Like Heaven”

According to consequence.net, Coheed and Cambria frontman Claudio Sanchez has shared cover of The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven” as part of his monthly YouTube Claudio Covers Series. With the recent release of The Cure’s comeback album, Songs of Lost World, Sanchez celebrated the occasion by covering one of the band’s classic songs.

“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 ‘Boy’s Don’t Cry,’ ‘Disintegration’ and ‘Wish.’ The albums that glued those classics together were a mystery to me.” said Sanchez.

The artist adds: “The discovery of The Head on the Door led 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.”
