I remember hearing this live a few years ago in Rotterdam. I was moved to tears and so were most people around me. I did not know the name or source of this beautiful love song. So happy to have found it now... I will always love tori.. no matter what people say about her or about her PERSONAL development as an artist. thanks for posting
I will never forget listening to Tori sing this song in little bar she was playing. It moved me to tears and when ever I hear her sing it since ..I still have tears...I can feel this song to my core for all thoses I loved and lost and for what I will never have in my life it seems..
@Silverthunder100 - Yes, she is indeed an amazing song writer. This song however, was writen by Robert Smith & Simon Gallup, & originally recorded by their band The Cure...
I had this one as a bootleg for the longest time, but the quality was very poor, and the words were not as clearly enunciated as it was live. Thank you for posting this - almost seems like it was studio recorded.
Paisleymartini is right. "I will always love you" is not the same song as this. "Lovesong" (one word) is this song here, which is a The Cure original. All that being said, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this collage you made. I have this video in my favorites and I often watch it.
Love the pics used for this vid. Who performs the original version of this song so I can compare before I say something! BUT... I LOVE the lyric so far.
i was there when she did this version. Jed the Fish . . i think it was january of '95. she listened to the original, wrote down some notes (while playing air guitar . . . too cute!) then performed this. they had to enlarge the cd lyrics for her to read from!!!
I love the cure, but I LLOOVVEE Tori. That said I have always had issues decideing wich version of this song I like better. Only Tori could take a perfect song and possibly make it more perfect. I wanna hear Tori do this with Robert (oh god, shudders at the thought, heaven).
@Morgana2571 This song was actually a wedding present from Robert Smith (Cure singer) to his wife Mary Poole. I'll send you the link where you can purchase the sheet music for $5.25 (USD).
@kathrynjwinter I'll send you the link too. I already sent it to Morgana2571. You Tube doesn't allow links to be posted in the comment box.- shows as error.
@Aijrox Well, he does have a beautiful heart, is a very good song writer but he wears a "bit much" make-up for my taste in men. :) He does look a little like Edward Scissorhands in some of his pictures. Nevertheless he seems to be a faithful, loving husband, which is the most important, especially among celebrities these days.
Don't really know how you could say this version is 1000 times better than the original Cure version. I mean everyone can have their own opinion but the Cure version is a classic and this version is good but In my opinion it's missing the layers and ambiance of the original also Robert Smith's vocals are a huge part of how the songs comes across. This is a different style but just to flat out say this version is better is a stretch. The original in most cases is better.
