Trovo questo brano veramente bello, mi sembra di ascoltare un pezzo di tanti tanti anni fa'. La voce di Smith mi ha colpito molto, e nelle sue parole rivedo una parte di me stesso. Sarei molto curioso di sentirla anche nella versione in studio.
When I heard it live I didn't know it was a song from the new to be released album.... I thought "how the fuck haven't I heard this? Is this improvised" breaks me down every time I listen to it now
I am 52 years old and my handwriting is still almost identical to the one you have shown in your lyrics of The Cure's song... They were my lifeline in my adolescence, I had the entire discography, I was going to look for the B-sides to find everything they had created...I translated them, I even drew Robert...at that time I painted...I dressed the same, I wore my hair the same, I fell in love with someone who was almost the same...And I knew They converted like a cassette tape that used to be used to clean the players every time I listened to them in my loneliness and my problems because they had the power to clean me, they protected me and gave me the strength to move forward...I owe them my life almost... And today with all my burdens on my back, and with more added, without thinking about those that have to come because life is too unfair and hits mercilessly and if you have a sensitive soul you still feel it much more ..they continue to help me move forward in this world of dehumanized crazy people where it seems that the unscrupulous egoist, traitor, not to name more unmentionable qualifiers is rewarded...and that someone feels that they already belong to it...but after so many years Listening to a song by The Cure and Robert Smith's voice makes you feel accompanied again...Wow, what a mess I wrote...well...thanks for the lyrics. Seeing the style of the lyrics made me feel different. time the "Pornography" album and with which I met them. A hug🖤
Saw them last night in Dallas.... they opened with this song....i swear I'm still mesmerized from the show.... seen 100's of concerts.... but this was truly magic!
I saw them in Atlanta circa 91. I'm still mesmerised from that show. I really wish I could have gone to see them this time. I guess there is still hope. I'm glad you got to see them live. You'll never see their equal again. That's for sure.
This song is pure Cure perfection. The concerts beginning with planet Earth tumbling through space until it's gone too... I cry everytime I hear it. Thank God Robert never stopped. And he's so humble and kind. He is so very cherished. I love this man. He's made me so happy since I was in high school in the 80s. Thank you Robert. The band and your voice are truly in top form.
We are nearing the end of our journey Friends I Haven't Met. The songs helped us endure, and other times marked our celebrations, and other times were the anthems that scored our darkest life changes. But always gave us hope and identity. I know that if these songs meant to you what they meant to me, you were never alone as soon as you hit the play button. Robert and band made sure the sounds were there to comfort and reassure us. Under every heavy bassline and glistening guitar refrain, there was something like faith. Best to you in the final steps of our journey, I love you!
Well said, loved this. So I'm 31... I'm investigating these comments, it's fascinating to me watching fans collectively process the end of an era and grapple with the passing of time. The thing that's getting to me is that, although I can most certainly relate to the relationship that you have with these songs that signify different life events... I don't think younger generations will ever have a life long companion, the way that y'all did. There are no more legendary bands or iconic singers that symbolically represent a generation. Now, with the internet... it's just all over the place and their aren't anymore generational totems to keep us all connected as we age. Sure, many great artists. But then you can usually expect 3 or 4 albums, but they don't follow along with you on your life path. They don't connect you with other like minded friends... it's all so isolated now. I'm just really happy to read these comments and know that Gen X got to share this with each other, that's so incredibly beautiful to me.
This is the end Of every song that we sing The fire burned out to ash And the stars grown dim with tears Cold and afraid The ghosts of all that we’ve been We toast with bitter dregs To our emptiness (We have nothing left) And the birds Falling out of our skies And the words Falling out of our minds And here is to love To all the love Falling out of our lives Hopes and dreams are gone The end of every song And it all stops We were always sure That we would never change And it all stops We were always sure That we would stay the same But it all stops And we close our eyes to sleep To dream a boy and girl Who dream the world is Nothing but a dream Where did it go? Where did it go? Broken voiced lament to call us home The end of every song we sing Where did it go? Where did it go? Where did it go? Where did it go? Broken voiced lament to call us home This is the end of every song we sing Alone
Thank you... This so fits my world, being born in "59", I've seen the world change that I wasn't prepared for. These lyrics hit home, as do many of The Cure songs. They have saved me in knowing I'm not alone.
My mum listens to the cure all the time around the house even when we were little and recently we went to a festival to see them. Alone was the opening song, it was awesome I'm so grateful to experience that moment with my mother and brother. I will cherish that memory for as long as I live. Thank you The Cure
Love it. Endsong is even better I think. Truly 2 masterpieces talking about the same things... getting old, time passing by, loneliness, lost ones, faded dreams, hopelessness... anyway, enjoy:)
I love this song. Watching these videos of Robert looking out at the audience while the band plays, and then he sings that first line…it literally makes me want to cry. Beautiful song. I was searching for the title and wondering if it was new.
MY BOYS SINCE 1981, If this is the end, Let us go together. I Love You, Rick, Brian, Shea, Arty, Mom. Until we meet again, Dad I love you, Fight Dementia, Fight not to forget. Thankyou THE CURE❤❤❤❤❤❤
Saw The Cure two days ago in Perú, this was the first song they played during the concert and I dont know it but it was love at first ear jajaja I’m in love with this song now🖤🖤🖤
It was amazing to hear this at Riot Fest. The Cure is my favorite band. Been listening since I was 13. Pushing 40 meow. Finally getting to see The Cure was a very emotional moment for me. When Robert first started singing this song, it all finally hit me that I'm really seeing The Cure, and I cried. This song has a mix of Disintegration era Cure mixed with an older Robert who's remembering everything they've ever done and the bittersweetness of those memories. It's beautiful. I need to see them again. I hope they tour again, and I can catch a number of shows. I'd even pay whatever I need to to get to meet them. I would probably cry again. Some 6' 215lbs guy just sobbing like a baby, lol.
Agree with the mix of styles: Disintegration with an older wisdom...plus some Bloodflowers. I said in another post this upcoming album feels like a mix of those 2 with a freshness of tragedy thrown in (covid and personal tragedy) + the way the world is lost as Smith comes to terms with his nearing mortality.
« Cold and afraid The ghosts of all that we’ve been We toast with bitter dregs To our emptiness » This is so moved and powerful. Robert and The Cure are eternal.
I’ve listened to The Cure since 1986, this is the most wonderfully sad Cure song I’ve ever heard. My head and heart are forever seventeen and I know none of that will ever come back. I love this band so much.❤
This is just so great and mesmerizing~ It touches me deeply 💜 Thank you for uploading this. 🙏 I am fan of The Cure since i was 12 years old ( i' m going to be 50 this year ) and all these songs accomponied me through all the decades~ ...And what can i say? It never stops !!! Thank you, The Cure for everything and evermore ~ i will always love you 💞🙏💫
@@franckthatsme5280 This is just great , Franck 😊 Thank you for your comment. Oh, your lucky soon to see them again. It is such a great show. I was at the concert in Munich on the 28th of October and it was so gorgeous. Just so wonderful, i will never ever forget ~ Thank you, The Cure 💞🎸🥁🎶🥰
Some fantastic comments in here. Found this video again on a drizzly Monday in South London. I first listened to the cure at Reading festival in 2012 and I've been obsessed ever since. Been lucky to see them a number of times in the last 12 years, most recently at Wembley arena in December '22 and they once again blew me away. Proceedings started with this beautiful unreleased number. Pray we get another tour in the next few years.... and that long anticipated 14th LP. Forever in our hearts and minds, forever The Cure 🖤
I have been listening those four tracks on a daily basis so far and I am really looking forward for the release of the new record. I have been a fan since I was 13 (I am 46) and despite the few disappointments I had (especially the last two records) I am so glad they are back with something that so far seems amazing. Thank you Robert.
I saw and heard them in 17.11. In Frankfurt and after a few seconds I had tears in my eyes…..love this song.Can’t wait for the Album.! 🖤 Thanks so much for sharing
Many times, whenever I hear about the cure's music, the emotional reference they use is "depressive". Talking about emotions, as always, is subjective, and there are regularly very delimited parameters to talk about each emotional spectrum. There is something of that, yes, but I feel that what would best define that emotionality, is a poetic sensibility that encompasses much more: it is intensity, passion, sadness among others but not forceful: there is a dose of intimate reality that is closer to a naked lucidity, without pretense, without masks. To say that it is depressive, it seems to me, is tremendously limited...
i seen this performed live in Tampa Florida and its still so amazing to listen to. Patiently waiting on the official release. Keep on rockin Robert and The Cure!
I’m getting worried about Robert and his state of mind after losing so many of his family members. These songs all seem to point to him not wanting to go on, I truly hope he doesn’t do anything rash like decide to end his life along with his wife in a death pact. I had a vision of him and Mary lying in bed looking out over the ocean holding hands and watching the sun go down for the last time.
