Hey everybody I would just like to ask have any of you seen the both of Robert and the other fella playing the bass at the start of this song watch closely at Robert is a mad cheeky grin like they love us yeah we do
How can the Cure be so special? This song is amazing and has the power to make me cry everytime I listen to it. It reminds me of my past. This song is simply part of me.
for me, smith, gallup, tolhurst, williams, thompson, and o'donnell. it just has a fuller sound. as long as the cure has 2 guitarists, a keyboardist, a drummer, and simon, i'm cool with that line-up.
The whole "Wish" album was so great, and still is, in so many ways....I was 25 when it came out, and the music and lyrics in it, marked and represented the very beginning of my maturity, and yet the apex of my spiritual freedom, which I still retain at 41. To me it also represented the point where my friends realized I wasn't stuck in a heavy metal cage like they were, but I was (still am) a combination of different styles of music, different, more intimate feelings, sad melancholy poetry....
I was 14 years old and unwillingly cast upon that weird age where I thought the things we did when we were young and the pain of youth slipping away was more than my heart could take. I’ll never feel as intent as I did when I was young. To what once was and will never be again
It's a bass guitar - when you hear that guitar tone on a Cure record, it's a Bass VI. Robert uses it on a lot of songs because it just sounds so beautiful.
Words can only diminish the implications here for the human experience, such regret, such nostalgia, such trauma, and such beauty. For surely if we could have everything we wanted, if we were gods and not mortal, then we would not be beautiful, we are beautifully unhappy, exquisitely unfulfilled, we beautifully quest and question, how boring and unattractive the life of the gods-----may we always yearn and always feel this beautiful pain,
One of my all time favorite Cure songs. It gets me every time. Wish is a SUPERB album, I wore it out. The incredible talent of Robert Smith & The Cure is mind blowing. My favorite band EVER!
"To Wish Impossible Things" remember how it used to be when the sun would fill up the sky remember how we used to feel those days would never end those days would never end remember how it used to be when the stars would fill the sky remember how we used to dream those nights would never end those nights would never end it was the sweetness of your skin it was the hope of all we might have been that fills me with the hope to wish impossible things but now the sun shines cold and all the sky is grey the stars are dimmed by clouds and tears and all i wish is gone away all i wish is gone away all i wish is gone away
It was the sweetness of your skin, it was the hope of all we might have been that filled me with a hope to wish impossible things.... amazing and beautiful no one will ever ever take the cures place
Summer of 92, Wendy and me were there at the Palace in Auburn Hills MI... 13th row, now it's 2020 and it hits me as if I were there right now... Miss you Wendy!
I see you Robert. Your music is one of a kind and like no other in the world. Endearingly profound, captures those deep thoughts that we so often cannot find the words for.
@ModaFoka barking? sorry, who is the one "barking"? You!....ya dickwaffle:) One could say the same about Chain of Flowers....lyrics by SG...do all of us Cure fans a square before you decide to open your piehole...dont! :)
amo demasiado a esta canción... The Cure, Robert Smith logran expresar todo lo que siento.. todo lo que guarda mi alma.. y esta canción es muy maravillosa.. siempre he deseado cosas imposibles y esta canción lo dice todo.. amo a este grupo y ojala nunca dejaran de hacer musica porque ellos son parte de mi vida, de mi día, de mi todo.. de verdad los amo!! y los llevo siempre en mi alma!! The Cure!!!!!
Summer 2020 and this still sounds better than new music today. The cure in 1992 were fucking fantastic and on a level well above so many of their 80s peers
They should release this on DVD, like now! Seriously, the Cure can make me dance, rock out, and then have a song like this which is so touching and beautiful.
Yes! The Cranes and Dinosaur Jr. opened up for the Cure. I saw them for the first time at the Rose Bowl on 6/27/92. It was my first concert and 26 years later the Cure is still my favorite band.
How can a song be so sad, yet so incredibly uplifting altogether?? This reflects so well what I was going through when this album came out, and every time I listen to this album, it speaks about me, about who I was, how I lived, how I thought of things, how I matured, who my friends were, how young and free we were....how the natural development of life changed us.... I am so blessed, to be among those who get Robert Smith's poetry! :-)
This is from the 1992 wish tour..and I know because this was one of my favorite songs of that tour and I'll never forget that sunset they played in the background for this song..and I met someone here that changed my life..and I still love her with all of my heart,KS...thanks for posting this :)
6 avril 2022. I love the haunting sound of The CURE and the deep lyrics of the amazing artist Robert Smith ! I was a true fan since I was a teenager. Friendly from France. All my respects for you great man.
i have spent days watching live perfomances of the songs of my youth and beyond. Thank you Robert Smith for demanding more from your band. Your lyrics are a mystery yet the musicianship still stands and sends shockwaves.
One more year almoast gone. I start listen the cure since i was 15 years old Im 41 now and i will never stop listening my favorite band the cure 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I'm a HUGE Cure Fan! I love the Cure and every song of theirs I heard. I dont have any cds of theirs...And today was the first time I heard this song of theirs! WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING?! AGH! BEAUTIFUL!
Pure magic....I still have this album on cassette and the concert on VHS...hearing Robert count down to the first guitar note/drum smash....fan of 33 years....take care!
so much left on the table for this song. Mixed up never had a part 2 for slower songs. It'll never happen but watching the band smile during this set tells me there is more.
