Prayers For Rain' begins like practically every Cure song, with an introduction that's longer than most Bo Diddley singles. Never mind the omnipresent chill, why does Robert Smith write such interminable intros? I can put on 'Prayers For Rain, ' then cook an omelette in the time it takes him to start singing. He seems to have a rule that the creepier the song, the longer the wait before it actually starts. I'm not sure if Smith spends the intro time applying eye-liner or manually reducing his serotonin level, but one must endure a lot of doom-filled guitar patterns, cathedral-reverb drums and modal string synth wanderings during the opening of 'Prayers for Rain. .

About This Quote

Robert Smith's introduction to 'Prayers for Rain' is a very long one and it lasts for more than 5 minutes. I'm not quite sure about the reason behind this, but I think that Robert Smith used to create long introduction before all his songs. While listening to 'Prayers for Rain,' it's pretty obvious that this song is slow and creepy. The song also has a great instrumental part which lasts for 4 minutes and one minute after the song finishes, there is a short instrumental outro.
