Coheed & Cambria vocalist/guitarist Claudio Sanchez has shared a cover of The Cure's hit song "Just Like Heaven". The song originally appeared on the 1987 album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me.

Sanchez shared the following behind the cover:

This song was introduced to me by some friends as a cover done by Dinosaur Jr. They were skaters, so the reference to "tricks" at the top of the song conjured up ideas of a smitten lover's curiosity for executing kick-flips and rail slides. At the time, I didn't know much of The Cure's discography outside of "Boy's Don't Cry," "Disintegration" and "Wish." The albums that glued those classics together were a mystery to me. The discovery of The Head On The Door lead me to Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss Me and the introduction to the original Just Like Heaven. It's a strange but powerful relationship to have with a song when your introduction is someone else's interpretation of it. I think that's why I chose Just Like Heaven for this month's cover.
