*A Forest* is a wonderfully simple song: a simple, repeating melody, a drum machine, some guitar and Robert Smith’s voice make for a dark, melancholic and a little menacing mood that immediately sticks to your mind. *A Forest* came out 1980 on the Cure’s second album *Seventeen Seconds*, but I got into it years later as part of a Cure obsession that started around 1984.

I didn’t pay much attention to the lyrics back then, which are quite simple too and even a German kid could have made sense of them. That’s a shame, because they accurately describe how I often felt in that phase of my life:

> The girl was never there,
> 
> It’s always the same,
> 
> I’m running towards nothing
> 
> Again and again and again and again
