A Forest

A Forest is a song by The Cure and is from the album Seventeen Seconds. The music was written by Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Lawrence Tolhurst and Mathieu Hartley on a text by Robert Smith. The Netherlands won both as the United Kingdom only the 31st place in the charts, but the song has become the most well-known Cure-number. It is every year in the highest echelons of Radio 2 's Top 2000. It is also the only song from the group that always in the timeless 100 Studio Brussel 's State, with a 5th place as the highest listing in 1992 and 1993. In 2008 and 2009 was the number one in the New-Wave list of Studio Brussel.

The song starts with a keyboard-intro with the occasional guitar through it. Then come the drums (which rather strange sound because the sound track of the drums is played backwards). The text is about a person who runs through a forest, I-searching for a girl. This is not found and it is suggested that the girl there never even was (the girl was never there) or that the celebrated person in the forest is lost (lost in a forest).

The atmosphere of the song is very dark and grim. This was characteristic of the Wave music. A Forest is a New Wave classic. ==Chart Positions[ Edit] == ===Radio 2 Top 2000[ Edit] ===
