The Cure Robert Smith Cries While Singing Plainsong Shows of a Lost World Atlanta June 28th 2023 

Como ser tan humilde y tan grande a la vez, aparte de su genialidad como artista a mí me emociona el ser humano que es Robert Smith

I think you're exactly right. He seems to have really connected with his fans in a way I've never seen. Hopefully, he realizes just how loved he truly is.

Maybe it's their last tour and the reality is setting in

What an over exaggeration 😂

@@rulerofomicronpersei8 I take it you’re not a fan. You don’t seem to appreciate what this band means to people and how deeply we resonate with the songs.

❤

C est l alcool et la drogue qui l affectent

@@annemariea5723 certaines personnes n’ont tout simplement pas assez de perspicacité pour comprendre cela

​@@annemariea5723why would you say that?

​@@annemariea5723 Et qu'est-ce qui fait qu'on tombe dans la drogue et l'alcool, selon vous ?

I love him too I'm soon 66 and always loved Robert Smith The Cure....legend. ❤❤

I’m bowing to your longevity and awesomeness 🙏

Oh yes, he is. I've always loved this band, I'm 65.

The cure IS Robert Smith

Yes! I'm 59! Love Robert Smith! ❤ I've been a fan of The Cure since "Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me" I bought the cd in the summer of '87 because it was on sale. I'd never heard of them. I'm so glad that I took a chance and bought that cd.

We are all aging. I have been a fan since I was a teenager, when they were first out. So great to see them again💜💜💜

…yet he sounds as good as ever. It’s absolutely stunning how his craft has held up this well this far. He’s a beast!

@@plunderpunk2 Agreed!

@plunderpunk2 unlike siouxsie... I love her but seeing her latest come back is not the greatest. Hugs

@nol374 oh really wasn't about appearance more of spirit through decades of music. But so well said

I'm so sorry. Any death of a loved one is hard to deal with on its own let alone 3 in just 10 years. I'm glad you were able to find comfort in the beauty of The Cure's music.

@@ijustneedmyself thank you for your kindness.. 🪬

@@shawno9267 You're welcome 💜

Sorry for you...another kind of grief for me...a very sad and violent breakup...I find in Robert Smith's music that humanity that sometimes lacks in people hearts...art makes us more human...and help us.

I’m so sorry. My deepest condolences to you. I lost my beloved aunt and maternal grandparents in the last 15 years. It’s been difficult. Going to the Cure shows was incredibly emotional. Robert Smiths lyrics resonate so if your missing a loved one, tears will flow. I had a good cry at the shows. Sending good thoughts your way ❤❤

it's actually easier the older you become as you start seeing the end more and more each passing day.

@@Sean-st5ud Not the reason LOL you actually think he was crying about aging? American aren't you.

so the real reason he looked in the mirror? @@fingerprint5511

@@fingerprint5511 Ok so this is gonna be like kinda embarassing for you... do you know what this album is about?

Or his mental instability.

True story 💖

Yes !

A Big Hug from Lisbon, Portugal

@@regionregion-ym9xl thank you,I've been in Portugal,a short voyage in 1988,I was 16,I remember very well warm people,very friendly ,good food,nice memories,take care.👋

I hear ya. Me too. The happiest and the saddest of times.

The sadness is overwhelming. I'm feeling something is off. I pray nothing with his health. Jesus I hope I'm wrong

​@@teresa4949my wife and Ive been thinking this too. Can't imagine anything happening to him and a worod without him and his talent.

@@chadledoux3488 I agree. It will hit differently in many ways. Watching that video broke me down. Ive never seen Robert in this way before.

Wow,the man is being real.all of you concerned about his health,even if he is ill give him a break.even anything he deserves Privacy,shit he has been in the spotlight most of his life.let him be real.

He clearly could be doing a much better job. Just look at Simon. They’re both the same age. It’s not about looks per say . It’s just about longevity. It will be a sad day when Robert leaves us.

Hope I'm long gone in 20 years, but if I am, be listening too, Tim❤

i feel exactly the same. I came of age with their music back in the early 90s and i feel like their songs kinda grow with you. Their meaning changes with you, in a very relevant, profound way, and at the same time they ground you, they makes you remember who you are.

❤

Yes !

He really is the saviour of our universe and still so relevant. Strange times with the gorillaz proves that. Disintegration prayer tour was the first time i managed to see them live. The feeling when they stepped out was euphoric 🧟‍♀️❤✌🤘

listen to the Depeche Mode album "Ultra". I'll bet my right foot it was inspired by "Disintegration".

Name song please ?

On Depeche Mode's "Ultra" album the songs "Useless" and "It's No Good" have the same dark beauty the "Disintegration" songs have, especially "Plainsong", "Lullaby" and the title track.@@indiana1793

Me too!

Well, you did meet him. At his invitation. You came together with your siblings to meet RS "where he lives" on stage. I'm sorry for your loss. 😢

⁠@@MeMeDaVincidamn, you made that sound so beautiful and true. What you said actually chills me to the bone.

So sorry for your emotional pain. I think Robert Smith is an introvert who loves to write and play music but not necessarily play it in front of people. His music is calming and healing in ways.

​@@tiredofit4761very true wat you just said I do believe he's introvert and not really craving the celeb limelight but the music is were it's at for him so he has to do few things in that world for the sake of the band n music I guess.

It was a few years ago and was expected, he has talked in great detail about it. That's not why he has been so emotional this tour.

What a great concert!

Yes !

Just want to say thanks for writing that out. It caught my eye and reading it took me right back to the 80s and thoughts and feelings I haven't experienced in a LONG time.

Yes.. thank you for the lyrics.

Aye,but push on

because when he wrote this he was sincere and put his heart in it like artists do, so now he recognizes those emotions whenever he sings them even after 30 years

nature give us emotions, at 69 i`ll tell ya they mean more and differently as we age because we understand them and dont have to play tuff. its part of nature and being human.

EXACTLY, being yourself and showing your emotions in front of so many ppl so openly just shows how well he is connected to the mass consciousness which surrounds us all...the more ppl tap into that the better humans we all become as a result.❤

before 1989 iheaard of the cure in 1983

@@patrickcooney9636 He isn't singing that song since 1983. It's in the 1989 album. Want me to explain to you with a drawing?

@@liberispuritatem That’s not what Patrick said

@@Fakename70 Dude was trying to "correct" me but culdn't even understand what i accurately said. Do i have to explain with a drawing to you, too? Please, don't leave school early, people.

@@liberispuritatem Actually, Patrick said he’s “heard of the Cure” since 1983, not this particular song. So, yeah, I corrected you for jumping down someone’s throat when they didn’t actually say anything worthy of that. Maybe Reading Comprehension isn’t your strong suit.

That's a pretty amazing story. You're money bought you something that will be one of the best memories between the two of you for the rest of your lives.

@k8shrew69 my wife & I have a similar backstory. We were at a party at a mutual friend's house and she was the only other person besides me dressed in black. I didn't use "a line" on her, we just started talking music - they were playing metal and we wanted Bauhaus or The Cure or anything else - and it was as natural as our whole relationship has been ever since. That was January 1992 and we're still together. ❤️

Been to Summerfest. Saw RHCP in 2016, I think or 2017. After The Getaway was released. Lovely time in Milwaukee.. passed down rain most of the concert. Froze my tits off. Soaked to the skin and walked back to hotel after show. Sneakers were waterlogged the next day.Squeaked all the way back to Floriduh! First stop on my Last Gasp tour. Love music so fucking much it almost hurts.

Pissed down rain. Shivered as I danced through whole show!

Hi...I lost my baby brother coming up on 5 years ago on July 23, and it feels like just yesterday...my God, idk how he doesn't choke on the words; his music is his emotion, his communication, and he gives it all to us Cure fans, tells us his stories, albeit in a lyrically cryptic way sometimes... but we are his fan family, you gave him your love in person, that's so great you could experience this, I'm afraid I would have cried along with him; for him, and for me. Thank you for sharing. ✨❤️✨

Yessss I saw them in Philadelphia I just closed my eyes and let the music engulf me with tears in my eyes…amazing ❤

@@louiZiana-Gurl Couldn't Agree anymore ! Hands Down to One of The all Time most Beautiful Songs !!!! So Thankful they did This in Philly

Definitely hard to say exactly where, but whatever number it is, it's super comfortable in my top best fav..10 ever songs,big i had to decide on 10.

😮

lol

He really does have the love of his fans. I'm not a huge Cure fan, just a tertiary fan, but they have a very dedicated fan base, for sure.

The Cure isn't for everyone, but Robert Smith can write some of the most beautifully sweet, deeply powerful and soul-wrenching lyrics. His fans absolutely adore him (myself included).

I never took any notice of the Cure. I haven't ever even tried to explore their music, heard some on tv or radio but I wasn't moved to explore it further. I still don't get it but obviously he's liked and admired and has held his audience for many years so I respect him for that.

I was at the 2016 show too and have the whole concert on my RU-vid channel. Quality wasn’t great though but the sound is great.

I'm guessing you never saw Monster Magnet then

I was at the prayer concert in Atlanta when I was 14. I stood outside Turtle records waiting for them to open so I could get good seats. We had 3 row center. I didn’t tell my parents I was going into the city, I went with a kid from school that had a car. I payed for everything, he drove. I spent a total of $150. We got shirts, food and gas both ways. I’m 47 now, 2 adult children. They love all the music I grew up on, and some newer stuff. But will never be able to enjoy a show like this at todays cost. So sad how the young people are priced out of experiencing life like we did.

Among his many wonderful traits is Robert's concern for the fans. Alone among his contemporaries Robert stood up to the Ticketmaster monster and insisted prices stayed 0:08 affordable. Sorry you weren't able to enjoy this tour with your kids but maybe next time ...

I was at Blossom as well. What a joy it was to be there. Totally agree with what you say about him!!

He lost his brother recently and has had a few emotional moments on stage since. Not sure if the words in the song remind him of his brother or he is just still grieving….who knows.

I feel like he's not really thinking, he's just feeling in these moments.❤

He's grieving the past The youth. The hay day. Time. Time is running out and he knows it.

His sweet smile is everything! His face seems to show the beautiful heart within him. To see him wipe away his tears, broke me. Honestly, The Cure’s music has evoked many tears, many emotions. I’m so grateful for Robert Smith, The Cure, for giving us all the amazingly beautiful music that they have. 🙏🏽❤️‍🩹

@@mistiquefire3462 That is what I also thought...But I think that he is happy for what he did in his life.

you’re right, i saw them in Portland and also felt like it was a really intense show. Same for all the other clips of this tour i’ve seen. I saw them 3 other times years ago and it was not like this tour.

I lost someone a few years ago and ever since I will cry so easily, but I never did before. It changes something in you when you realize how quickly someone can just disappear and how precious time is. I can barely listen to this song anymore without crying, its just such a beautiful song. Imo along with pictures of you, I'd say they're the most moving songs I have ever heard.

Beautifully said. Crying as I read this ❤

❤️

platitudes much?

Right on, we drove 10 hrs from NC to see them in Philly, what an amazing & magical might !!!

Idk, at the end of the Tampa show, he said “we’ll come back and see you again” 😊

Yeah I don’t see him stopping.

@@jackiestewart9478 He said it at the end of every show but in Montreal he said something like "IF we do this again, we're definitely coming back here". I'm hopeful they'll do it again as long as they can still perform at this level but it might've been the last time.

@@CarlHH777i saw them in Montreal also and it was emotional. Hope he will come back here like he said ❤

@@marthyhu I saw them in Montreal too 😊

I'm right there with you. When I first heard Disintegration I was 19. I was a depressed soul. Now I'm 50+ and I fear my impending death. I hate getting old. Guess I'm still a depressed soul....she said.

❤

@@harmony3915 Thank you for your kindness. appreciate it.

@nol374 Thank you so much. She came back as a sunbird as Ive asked her to before she passed. This world is a mysteriously beautiful and hopeful place amidst the darkness. Perhaps the soul is eternal just like Robert's happy sad songs.

I’m so sorry you lost your beautiful wife so young. I lost my partner in late January, he drowned swimming in the ocean after work. He was a musician & loved the Cure too & we always planned to see them if they came to Australia again. I was lucky to have early entry tix in 2016 & was mere metres from Robert. It was the best show I’ve ever been to, 3 & a half hours! I cry often & easily. Watching this I cried. I’ve loved the Cure since my teens & Im 57. My favourite band always that speaks to my soul. I hope I get to see them again.

@@MsRedbelly Thank you so much for your caring words. I am sorry to hear about your partner's passing too. We don't know the hour of our deaths but at least we found each other, she said. Some people go through life without finding their soulmate. My concert was in singapore 2007, kind of far away seats. but it was the celebration of us vibing the same taste for music that makes it special. I can understand exactly how you feel, the silence and being left alone so early in life. Im 51 and totally lost. Cant even play my electric guitar with the same joy. Constant anxiety attacks and tears. Arguing with Hashem (I believe in the israelite God) all day long. If theres any consolation for all of us, this world is not gonna last any longer with what has happened globally these few years. I just hope the temple mount will be built soon together with resurrection of the dead. Then we can hopefully see our loved ones again. I tried not to talk about my tragedy here on youtube, but seeing robert crying and the lyrics of the song just made me had to connect with the world.

yes he says 'i cant believe were only charging 8$ a ticket'

“They’re really gonna do it…and it’s almost time”
