This song and video remind me of a road trip with a friend, and a crossroads moment of my life...it was almost like two layers of experience...the moments talking about life, laughing...and my private thoughts that filled the quiet...and sometimes the not so quiet...
The Cure- Charlotte Sometimes/Spintered in Her Head/The Empty World
"The song "Charlotte Sometimes" is based on Charlotte Sometimes,[1] a children's novel by British writer Penelope Farmer, published in 1969. Lyrics include "she was crying and crying for a girl who died so many years before" and "sometimes I'm dreaming where all the other people dance". It has dream-like rhythmic and melodic structures; recurring modal transitions, numerous harmonic suspensions and lamenting vocals create a feeling of inevitable drift into darkness. Originally a non-album single released in between Faith and Pornography, the song later appears on the 2005 reissue of Faith. A powerful live take was included on the Concert album.
The B-Side of "Charlotte Sometimes" is "Splintered in Her Head", which is also based on the novel.[1] The mood of "Splintered in Her Head" is overall more disquieting, with metallic, distorted vocals and heavy percussion, foreshadowing the next year's Pornography. The Cure released a third song based on the novel, called The Empty World on the album The Top."
