The Cure - Close To Me (1990 Version) 

I can just imagine Robert Smith watching the original Close To Me video, and thinking "Not strange enough." Both brilliant.

As a kid I loved The cure, as an adult I love The Cure, as an Old man I will be buried with The Cure in the background

I’ve waited hours for this I’ve made myself so sick I wish I’d stayed asleep today I never thought this day would end I never thought tonight could ever be This close to me Just try to see in the dark Just try to make it work To feel the fear before you’re here I make the shapes come much too close I pull my eyes out Hold my breath And wait until I shake… But if I had your faith Then I could make it safe and clean If only I was sure That my head on the door was a dream I’ve waited hours for this I’ve made myself so sick I wish I’d stayed asleep today I never thought this day would end I never thought tonight could ever be This close to me But if I had your face I could make it safe and clean If only I was sure That my head on the door Was a dream

The Cure's trademark -- Haunting yet melodic tones....plus Robert's voice., simply unique and amazing!!

i was 14/15 when this came out, now almost 40, and still in contact with my school mates, we used to get stoned to this and more cure, the mission, acdc, and loved it, it cd is in my work van right now, always makes me smile !

Been looking for this song maybe for 5 years.I fell in love with the video,but didn't see who they were.I asked several people about it,but no answer...now I've just found it,and it's probably one of the happiest moments of my life.Thanks,The Cure! I'm completely smiling!!

I tried to find this song so hard because it was stuck in my head all week and I always listened to it in the car with my dad when I was little. Finally found it again. This feels so nostalgic!!! 😌💞

Been searching for this song for 25 yrs finally I found this.... Things take time but do happen

Definitely one of the best songs of all time... just puts me in a good mood instantaneously!

Words do not even describe how much I love this song :)

I remember hearing this version on the radio. Instruments way ahead of their time for 1990.

It's funny that you can guess the decade this was released by hearing the sound of the drumbeat. XD

Stopped in for a bit of nostalgia. Incredible how much I still love this song. 🖤

version original: 1985 version de trompetas: 1986 version remasterizada: 1990 asi es como the cure hizo este gran temazo en diferentes versiones

Great version. The Cure and Robert Smith are very brillant. Love them

pulgares arriba si eres latino y te encanta este grupo!

Love The Cure.I remember an interview of Robert Smith and he said making this video,that when they were all in the wardrobe one of them had a curry the night before and kept on farting.. I always laugh now when I hear and see this video!!!

Bands that make me smile; THE CURE and THE BLUE COLLARS. Real music is still out there.

Damn..brings me way back when I was in middle school & this would be on MTV' when I got home. 🎼❤🙋

Please remember to play this at my funeral Phil… I will have waited decades for this, if I was only sure that behind a door was a dream , my Kie, I never thought this life would end, if only I was sure behind the for was my KIE , xxxx

the closest i'm ever going to get to robert smith is by popping my earphones in, listening to this track and letting him breathe in my ear. fff

im 13 and i really love the cure...is so sad that never come to south america :(

Paul Oakenfold takes the cure classic and reimagines it with a hip hop twist, always three steps ahead. It works!

How The CURE are working and having fun at the same time ! Love this. Friendly from France

esta cancion marco mi infancia, tan importante como eso !!! Me alegran el dia cuando los escucho !!! Geniossssss ....

im 15 and have loved the Cure for about 2 years now :) they are amazing

The early days of fame of The CURE are amazing A timeless and very creative band ! Always at the top 40 years of career ago

I used to listen to this when I was little. God, you gotta love nostalgia.

Vocally superb. What a song. TUNE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic. One of the best. Ever.

i'm 38 and the cure still rocks

Good luck not humming that melody at some point today. Lucky you! ❤

lyrics I've waited hours for this, I've made myself so sick I wish I'd stayed asleep today I never thought that this day would end I never thought tonight could ever be this close to me Just try to see in the dark, just try to make it work To feel the fear before you're here I make the shapes come much too close I pull my eyes out, hold my breath and wait until I shake But if I had your faith Then I could make it safe and clean If only I was sure That my head on the door was a dream I've waited hours for this, I've made myself so sick I wish I'd stayed asleep today I never thought that this day would end I never thought tonight could ever be this close to me But if I had your face Then I could make it safe and clean If only I was sure That my head on the door was a dream But if I had your face Then I could make it safe and clean If only I was sure That my head on the door was a dream

Ese concierto en Lima, imperdible, jalando la mancha, una maravilla, siempre gracias The Cure 🇵🇪

If only I could remember what I was doing in the 80's all I have is the music and good times , this brings me back to fun times glad I made it through these times

I remember the version from 1990 MTV! It was fun

The best tune in the world ever!!

This was playing in Morrisson's supermarket today. Pretended to look at cat food to enjoy the moment...

I just saw a documentary about an octopus being rescued guided back to the tide! This song never leaves my head.

Saw The Cure in Cornwall. A wonderful night and a brilliant band.,

The way he sings this song is brilliant!!!

AMO ESTA CANCIÓN!!!!!!!!!! Está versión me encanta

Best comb playing I ever heard in my life.

Una canción te puede hacer viajar en el tiempo, tengo 46 y al escucharla vuelvo a tener 14 y me emociona igual que hace 30 años, eso es lo que hace una verdadera buena canción!!!!

Me encantan los jadeos de su voz en toda la canción, ese toque asmático es unico

the cure are quite literally one of a few bans/musos that put a genuine smile on my dial ay..... Love yas.

I love this version. Wonderful.

I couldnt believe it when I found out that the cure sang this song..Totally love it!!

I've waited hours for this I've made myself so sick I wish I'd stayed asleep today I never thought this day would end I never thought tonight could ever be This close to me Just try to see in the dark Just try to make it work To feel the fear before you're here I make the shapes come much too close I pull my eyes out Hold my breath and wait until I shake But if I had your faith Then I could make it safe and clean If only I was sure That my head on the door was a dream I've waited hours for this I've made myself so sick I wish I'd stayed asleep today I never thought this day would end I never thought tonight could ever be This close to me But if I had your face Then I could make it safe and clean Oh, if only I was sure That my head on the door was a dream

Thought this was the original version when I was sixteen back in 92. It was on Mixed Up. Thanks JB5 where ever you are.

Gotta admit the videos from Vevo, even the oldest ones, are pretty much crystal clear in image and sound.

the cure❤..artisti geniali❤

The song of my life.... This is me.

The Cure meets The Mighty Boosh :) Love this song so much x

Far and away their best version of Close to Me.

THE CURE EVER

Essa musica é classica dos anos 80, só quem viveu essa época maravilhosa, vai entender.

My favourite song for a happy rainy day

When I was 14 I had all my room covered with posters of Robert, which I bought at the big department store. I used to record his songs from the radio in a tape. I was crazy about him. I do not know where this came from, at that time, we didn't have access to see thd videos, or concerts and in south Spain I only knew few people who liked this kind of music, but it just happened. I used to go out at the weekends to a disco early afternoon always asked the dj to play hot hot hot

Brilliant tune.

The greatest band of the 80's/90's! I even got my Dad loving them back in the 90's before he died, his favorite was the lullaby vid!

1985 was the best version. It was THE song of freshers fortnight at varsity!

This is a masterpiece

Love The Cure!

i remember watching this when i was little..90's is peaceful.. :) :) :)

This song helps me with my anxiety

THE CURE THE BEST

When I was a baby, I used to dance to this music. And I still love it. :3

Música linda demais 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 isso é que é música linda muito bem feita sensacional sucesso linda demais 🥰🥰

I love how the 1990 video is a sequel to the original version's video.

Takes me always back to the 90 when I used to watch MTV after school. Brilliant

Always liked this version better, lovely laid back groove.

The best !!!!! Adorei!!!!! The cure sempre!!!!!!!!!

loving the trumpets

Just try to see in the dark, Just try to make it work, To feel the fear before you're here. I make the shapes come much too close, I pull my eyes out, Hold my breath, And wait until I shake

LO MAXIMO THE CURE

am still waiting a new album from the cure to buy it again and preserve to my vintage numerals box.ill just have 21 albums yet...i need more new albums from you robert smith...keep up high on top thanks again to his 4:13 album as well as book of eids people.

This is the best thing ever!

JUST HEARD THIS VERSION ON THE RADIO MY LIFE IS CHANGED

Para mi es la mejor version

Cuando tan solo un niño de 5 años mis hermanos ponian esa canción a todos nos gustaba, cada que la escucho me transporta a esos bellos recuerdos. Ahora tengo 27

I love this song, the trumpet and sax part are beautiful.

TRUE MASTERPIECE WORK OF ART. ENOUGH SAID.

One of my favorite bands.Too bad this time have been so far from me.How I miss my youth

el mejor grupo de mi juventud¡¡. Luego he crecido más, he practicado más. Siempre habrá un gran recuerdo para THE cure. Cuando muera (será pronto) THE cure tendrá un lugar destacado.
