 James OBarr constantly listened to the songs of Joy Division and  The Cure while shaping and creating The Crow. He was delighted when  Robert Smith of The Cure agreed to write an original song for the  movie. Although a hugely popular song, introducing legions of new  fans to The Cure, theyve never performed "Burn" live, even though  its often requested. When a fan asked if theyd play the song at a  concert, bassist Simon Gallup replied, "Did we do that one for a  soundtrack? I dont remember it."
