Plainsong, or Gregorian chant, has its origins in the Western Christian church as a form of monophonic singing that takes its name from the 13th-century Latin term 'cantus planus'. The Cure's 1989 epic "Plainsong" has a similar haunting quality to the ecclesiastical music while its organ-like synths hark back to the medieval era. This majestic five-minute tidal wave of gothic synth-pop ploughs the emotional depths of loneliness: "I think it's dark and it looks like it's rain, you said / And the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world, you said / And it's so cold, it's like the cold if you were dead," sings Robert Smith in the rain-streaked first verse, which comes in after nearly three minutes of instrumentation and a patter of wind chime. "Plainsong" was one of the many highlights on The Cure's career-defining 1989 album Disintegration, which took them to the stratospheric new heights of anthem-ready alternative music.
