Momentum
This song has not appeared on a Rotation chart, so it has no score and no receipts. The rank history below is the ledger; a score is only published once the momentum run puts it on a chart.
Why it's here
Robert Smith wrote the song for his longtime girlfriend and then fiancée, Mary, as a wedding present. [1] Smith described it as an uncharacteristically direct declaration of love, saying it took him ten years to feel comfortable singing 'a very straightforward love song.' [2]
In culture
Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.
