Delusions involving The Cure

I might be delusional, but I noticed some similarities between songs by The Cure and other artists! For the second time in the last hour. Don't blame me, blame iTunes Genius who made the playlist! Although, they didn't put "Guilty as charged" in the playlist - probably because I didn't have a copy in my library...

The first 15 seconds of "In Between Days" by The Cure sounds like the theme(starting at 08 seconds) in "Modern Man by Arcade Fire.
Funy enough the particular part of "In Between days" is at 08 seconds!
Also they just have a simliar undertone.

Playlist: Tristesse Vol. 1

Definitely watch the video for Every Single Night on Youtube (not allowed to embed it :(!). Here is her VEVO page. I also recommend Paper Bag, I enjoyed the dancing. I really enjoy her vocal gymnastics, especially in nos. 7 & 12.
Here are some screenshots from the Every Single Night video to entice you...
