Mary Poole’s influence could be heard throughout The Cure’s most renowned song, “Just Like Heaven.” We can see her in a long white dress for roughly two minutes in the music video for the legendary 1987 song.

While the lyrics of “Just Like Heaven” make it clear that Smith was smitten with Poole, he didn’t acknowledge creating a song about her until the band released “Love Song” in 1989. The ballad, according to Smith, was a cost-effective and meaningful wedding gift to Poole.
