The Cure - Burn (1994; The Crow soundtrack) »

Posted By scott4261 1 month ago in Arts & Entertainment

Nearly one year after the death of Brandon Lee, his final movie the Crow is released.

This is from the 1994 soundtrack to that movie.

----

The album featured many covers including Nine Inch Nails who covered Joy Division's "Dead Souls," Pantera who covered Poison Idea's "The Badge," and Rollins Band who covered Suicide's "Ghost Rider," which is about a Marvel Comics character.

Rage Against the Machine re-recorded their 1991 b-side Darkness of Greed and simply re-named it "Darkness" for this soundtrack. Also, The Cure wrote the song "Burn" for the movie. Despite requests, they have [reportedly] never performed the song live.

The inclusion of songs written by The Cure and Joy Division are notable because the influences of both bands are present in the original comic book. James O'Barr, the creator of The Crow, reprinted the lyrics to the song "The Hanging Garden" by The Cure on an entire page, and two chapters of the comic book are named after the Joy Division songs "Atmosphere" and "Atrocity Exhibition". In one panel, Eric even quotes a lyric from the song "Disorder" from the album Unknown Pleasures. O'Barr was a big fan of both bands when he was creating the comic book.
