The Cure - All Cats Are Grey


This song sums up Faith for me. Its bleakness and greyness mirrors the album art and the general tone of the album. The long instrumental intro sends you downwards even before Roberts vocals come in roughly around the half way point. It's like a deep void, a place devoid of all hope.
