311 - Love Song (Official Video)

311 reached back to the Cure for "Love Song", a cover of the song the Cure put on Disintegration in 1989, and cut it in 2004 for the soundtrack of the film 50 First Dates, putting it out as a single as well. Smith wrote the words, and the music is credited to him with Simon Gallup, Porl Thompson, Roger O'Donnell, Boris Williams and Lol Tolhurst.

Where the original aches in the dark, 311 carry it out into the daylight, with a loose, lilting groove and an easygoing vocal that turn a lovelorn gothic confession into a beach-day serenade.
