The Cure - Kyoto Song (cover by The Daytime High

We’re absolutely thrilled to finally share something we’ve been pouring our hearts into – our cover of The Cure’s hauntingly beautiful “Kyoto Song.” This track holds a special place in our musical journey, and we’ve loved diving deep into its atmospheric world to bring you our own interpretation.

| ORIGINAL SONG CREDITS || “Kyoto Song” — Originally performed by The Cure from the album The Head on the Door (1985). Written by: Robert Smith. All rights belong to the original songwriters and publishers.

 

|| COVER CREDITS || Performance & Production: The Daytime High

Record of the week from 1985

For those unfamiliar, “Kyoto Song” is a gem from The Cure’s 1985 album, “The Head on the Door.” It’s a song that perfectly encapsulates their unique blend of melancholic beauty, ethereal soundscapes, and deeply evocative lyrics. Robert Smith’s songwriting often paints vivid, almost cinematic pictures, and “Kyoto Song” is no exception, conjuring images of ancient traditions, quiet contemplation, and perhaps a touch of longing.

When we decided to tackle this one, we knew we had to respect the original’s delicate balance while still infusing it with The Daytime High’s signature sound. We aimed to capture that classic Cure wistfulness but also explore new sonic textures and emotional nuances. From the moment we started experimenting with the guitar pedals, Dr Robert and Diamond Tremolo, the create a cover that resembles the original but stamps our own personality on it.

Inspired by TDH Album Of The Week

Pedalboard experiments for the TDH Album of the Week

Messing around at home with some pedals at home, this is inspired by a TDH Album of the Week. Doesn’t sound like the original, but can you guess what 80’s track I recorded?

You might know Dr. Robert for its 60s tones, but it turns out it’s the secret weapon for 80s post-punk bite. Pair it with the Diamond Tremolo and you’re instantly transported to a rainy night in 1980-something.

Two pedals that helped bridge the gap between vintage saturation and post-punk atmosphere: the Aclam Dr. Robert and the Diamond Tremolo.
