The Cure - Pictures of You

[Hennepin8]

Doctor doctor, it hurts when I play this song. Some day it will feel better and life will be well and sunny again. But today she's gone and the snow falling outside mirrors the cold storm inside my world.

A note on the bulletin board in the town square, posted anonymously and alone, never to be visited again. And yet so many others who feel the same, creating a community for a moment. A salute to all who have come before and a toast to those who will make it here in the years to come.

[musicluver211213]

By far the best and most emotional song they have ever written this and letters to Elise move me like no other songs.

[EmmaPocketsize]

Beautifully sad, sadly realistic, realistically efficent.

Great work!

To any speeding drivers out there - please stop. It hurts. So much.

[toyyobful]

The stewy guitar playing and Smith's city-hall clerk voice makes this gothic and melancholy love song so appealing to the soul.

[merkuriumatgmx]

unerreichbar! eines der großartigsten Werke der Musikgeschichte...

[Prettyinpink195837]

After leaving the love my life. . Thats all I had was pictures :( And lost.....if only

Tears still everytime I hear this song.

[aviadmei]

Tears in my eyes everytime I listen to this masterpiece......

[michaeljfiorito]

i have so much fun when i listen to this song.

[brunovrancic11]

240 p we meet again

[kingmpriba]

naprosto úžasný song!! Příba

[thenifeelnothing]

never forget catching a cab during my honeymoon (London '90) hearing this song and knew then it was going to be a future

memory

[highselfluke]

This song makes me cry almost every time i hear it.

[tinabinafun]

I think I liked this song mult times already! :) but i just get so lost when i hear this song! I LOVE it!

[Gdev02]

If anyone ever wanted to make me cry.. all they need do is play this song and wait for me to fall into a mess. GOD DAMN YOUR BEAUTIFUL WORDS ROBERT SMITH XXXOOXXX <3 <3

[dhix7525]

This is the best video ive ever seen! i focuses on the members individual talent all brought togather in this amazing theatrical lighting adventure. An atmosphere better yet a musical wounderworld!!! so brilliant that the stage itself has disappeared!

MANY CUDOS FOR THE CURE1 THANKS FOR PUTTING ONE OF THE MOST SADDEST EVENTS OF MY LIFE INTO BEAUTIFUL MUSIC THAT SPEAKS FOR ME!

[dhix7525]

to my only love who i last saw in mt. ranch. its been so long. i wish i could find you. im tired of living withh just thses pictures of you! my world! my love!

[karaiguazu]

To my only love who lives now in Berlin.

[rotinho87]

0:24 :D

[djeboe]

Man I love this song to death but the Bass VI robert played for the Disintegration set on Trilogy sounds like such crap... I know it is the same one he played on the Prayer Tour but the one he uses on the Bloodflowers set (and on the Wish Tour) is so much better set-up and has better sound... this one is fretting out or something half the time and it sounds so freaking WEAK. That said I still love this song to DEATH.

[diamondfirewolf]

Amazing song

[vonsiems1963]

I would write something terrible clever and snide about music of this day,I would but I am too busy crying that NOTHING like this will ever be made again. Great stuff!

[dmicheal1]

@vonsiems1963 u hit the nail on the head with that statement wish more peeps thought like u.Thumbs up to u

[DizzyPuke]

also the lacking ingredient here was PORL....

[DizzyPuke]

Jason was just like playing baby drum kits...please, come back...BORIS!!!

[dmicheal1]

[mariadoi1]

Pictures of you in my mind....

[rockncleve]

[timepope]

This song starts... with an amazing burst of sound. It is so awesome.

[wolfpaws652]

@timepope Love your comment, gives me chills of the guitars in the beginning, the blend of all the instruments, amazingly brilliant!

[djmarkian]

Its so sad, music from the 1930's and on till 1990's was amazing, up until 2000 thats when it went all down hill, with all this talentless fools created by record companies started to come out. There are just some few great bands now, but most are garbage...

[Nattysha87]

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you

That i almost believe that they're real

I've been living so long with my pictures of you

That i almost believe that the pictures are

All i can feel

[Miblive]

[liamevans]

[nastianew1]

[HitlerThe]

I love you Ale I remember you told me "Even though were not together, I know we are meant to be!"

[wwaldo25]

[talon1968]

Thanks for the memory tweak!!! :)

[MsAras82]

I've dedicated this song to the love of my life 10 years ago...and it's still so true...

[MyNegativeCreep]

In what year was that?

[1981jdude]

still love you sue

[sekki108]

Robert, you're the best. SOMEONE KNOWS HOW I FEEL!!

[dizkneedad]

At 1:41 it's a chime harp and a synthesizer combined.

[s0undtribe]

@dizkneedad Interesting. The 80s was such an innovative time for music technology.

Technology in music today is so saturated that they are now just making music to test technology. Look at Ke$ha and T-pain etc. This is purely the product of someone finding a new toy and playing with it way too much (autotune)

In a few years when Autotune isn't that cool anymore, it will be used sparingly and in a smart way. Until then we must suffer when we pass the pop station on the tuner.

[LiamBamBam]

@s0undtribe I like auto-tune, well when it's used tastefully

[APCGAB]

a muy aspera. muy aspera

[wilder2b]

Thank you again Greg, you pull on my heartstrings with the music you send me. I know deep down inside you love me, when will you tell me to come back to you forever? Thats all I desire... to be with you from now until the end of time.

[kcatrine]

the best song ever!

[The1ne07]

Anybody know what that sound at 1:41 is? I dont know what it is about it, but I love it. It just is so amazing.

[IllogicalHippo]

@The1ne07

It's the keyboardist

[jeflawdon]

@The1ne07 its a synthasizer

[natt1205]

Awesome ! <333 I love it ! THE CURE IS THE BEST OF THE BESTS ! <3 FOREVER ! ;***

[Greendayfan2121]

this is the first The Cure song i ever heard. i looked it up cuz my 5th grade teacher has posters of them in the classroom. LOVE IT!!!!

[MrAubery]

why doesn't the entire crowd have lighters lit?

or is that just an American thing?

[truesunn]

I don't give a shit who's drumming, the lyrics are epic. If there ever was an anthem for broken hearts, this is it...

[karentawn]

so the cure changed their drummer and now they sound this bad???? what a pitty!

the other drummer was great...

[simionTheOne]

if only boris just drummed this

it wouldve sound so much better :I

im not gonna shait on jason like every1

but it's true

[hugabelly101]

this song gives me the chills :) so amazing

[PANTAOLAS]

Τhe earlier version in Wembley is a real diamond!!! This is second class ... It's obviously, I think!

[thejojoshabadoo]

After listenin to previous drummer drum this, Jason Cooper sounds soooo bad :'(

[gnzvideos]

@thejojoshabadoo i think the same... this new drummer is not good for the cure.

[Finouland]

I love ...

[stryker1269]

Honestly...i like the original version but still Robert Smith...Amazing..

[byroniscool16]

but this is the original. but live and longer intro. LOL

[stryker1269]

I know this is the original..but sometimes he changes the melody and lyrics men.. thanks anyway..lol

[byroniscool16]

i see what you mean. no problem

[Tuberani]

if you only knew smradu mali:(((

[lionrenato]

un clasico!!!!!!!!!!! PiCtUrES oF YoU

[joedec]

Hands down the greatest song of all time. Its sad but beautiful at the same time.

[TheAndreasmith]

simplemente Genial!!

[208sds]

awesome song!

[AntiComercialAlvaro]

¿Quién no recuerda a alguien con esta canción?

Qué desgarrador...

[GardenVamp]

es verdad,yo recuerdo al que me la dedico alguna vez y uego se la termine dedicando cuando dejo de existir y se fue la cielo =( y omprendi q este tema siempre sera inmrotal eternaemnte lorecordare***my soundtrack personal**

[auradaledad]

when my relationship was going though a rough patch, this song would just make me tear-up...so sad...so poignant....

[wiccianway]

Iwas driving truck up in idaho this song came on the had 120,000 lbs of seed spuds on just burst into tears doin 70 mph cant see some other driver rolls along side looks over says hey cry baby dry up from crying to lmao in the span of two mins

[hypnosphere]

Yes, auradeledad, I saw for the first time them on Oct. 1992, so you can imagine how deep they swell inside me... I will take them always with me... you said "when (....) was going..." but try to imagine if one other just did it practically today... sorry if I am few stupid, but this is the most beautiful lovesong (about love and its loose), a quite rage song into softly snow landscape by poet in-tears ever written. Thanks Robert and thanks to all the Disintegration band of those time. HBoy

[Philbod98]

I hope it all worked out for you.

[Samateepae]

What a song! I know folk who are`nt even really into the cure but when i let them hear this they like it. The trilogy dvd this is part of is breathtaking .Does anyone know how to access the hidden tracks on the trilogy dvd?

[Spacecasekel]

Best song ever !!!!!

The words have so much meaning

LOVE THIS SONG

[auradaledad]

i know what you mean...i get teary eyed when i hear it...

[Sergio1990p]

what a song!, what a song!

[dannyblossom]

You standing quiet in the rain

As i ran to your heart to be near

And we kissed as the sky fell in

Holding you close

How i always held close in your fear

such beautiful verses...

[Sergio1990p]

And we kissed as the sky fell in....! uffff

[AnyLuracell]

Ese maldito amor imposible...

hay veces q te hace llorar esta cancion

[miguellatico]

La vdd si...maldito amor imposible dios como me gustas esmeralda...:(

[webcitto]

I regret did a slideshow with pics of her using this song , this is too much beautiful to remember her, maybe I dont deserve be forgived, neither mercy.

[jandy16]

best break up song ever

[julianNOBargentina]

Dire Straits, The Cure y Simple Minds música bella - talento - melodía y solemnidad. Julian (Argentina)

[mickeysnakeboy1960]

The Cure are they best band I have ever had the pleasure of seeing live...Their music is like a gift from God to us to enjoy and when that gift is gone it's gone forever...Only through the memories of their great music can we still enjoy their talent...Rob's lyrics are pure and beautiful...Please tour at least once more and come back to the states...I wish the Cure much happieness in their lives...You have made my life happier through your music...Thanks!

[DjUmKuE]

@mickeysnakeboy1960 Obviously you've never heard of The Smiths or Morrissey

[Sinfiea]

@mickeysnakeboy1960: True, but their music will always be there..etched in stone, our hearts and minds...forever.

[TheGordon558]

@mickeysnakeboy1960 -- you are top bannana mate..

[pgiljr]

Si tuviera que escoger las 3 mejores canciones de mi vida esta sin duda seria una. Gracias a The Cure su majestad la Melancolia tiene su trono soberano en el reino de nuestras vidas.

[miguellatico]

Comparto tu idea... alo mejor no de las mis 3 rolas favoritas, pero si dentro de mis 10 primeras

esta cancion representa mucho para mi

se la dedico a mi chika favorita ala mujer mas hermosa que he conocido en mi corta vida maldita sea es mi amor platonico ;(

[Huglix]

Absolutely, in every concert that i've seen they always smile at each other...

Gr8 band, Smith = genious

[KevS2009100]

haha i love the beggining when robert smiles at the guitarist :D awesome band i love this song!

[jacg1484]

Magica

[nomealternativo]

bellissima canzone

[ehwutthiporn]

This is my most favorite song at all time. Thanks for sharing this.

[BartBart424]

je to skvele!!!!krasne se to posloucha!

[BartBart424]

Užasné!!!!!!Jsou vinikajici!

[Tuberani]

dvico slusaj...

[HenryFussy]

sometimes when I watch the group do this song I think even Smith knows what a musical masterpiece it is. He often appears a bit bored doing the group's other well known songs like "Let's Go to Bed".

[auradaledad]

man...the lyrics are so poignant!!! brings me back to my wasted yet wonderful youth...

[RSminator007]

nice, and very good songs

[angelooo85]

i wish i could see them once, but they still aren t coming to italy

[purpleblk]

This song just does something to me --- especially at the part when it kicks in .........uuuuummmmmm!!!

[TomUltranova]

This is from the Trilogy set?

[c05urban]

Yes, it is.

[asylum2011]

When I saw them in Houston on 6/9/08. The best night of my life, btw, they played this and It totally made everyone tear up.

The Cure has left an everlasting impression in the music business for all eternity.

[JoeMejia5]

love this live performance, gotta see The Cure live...gotta see The cure live....

[SKRIBLSKULL]

the most beautifully sad song ever written, amazing

[nadvamp]

el especial ****pictures of you**** cada vez q lo escuho me da una nostalgia como describirlo entre triteza y alegria sentimientos encontrados sonrisas ojos bien abiertos smile!!! smile!!! es q se recuerda mas al chiko de la leve sonrisa con rulos como el cuento del principito de antoine de saint exupery... my pictures of you...tututututu... tutututututu auuuuuuuuuu!!!!!! my pictures of you... pictures of you...

[NachoRacingOasis]

toda la letra es hermosa, es tan melancolica, tan linda, tan hermosa esta cancion, es todo

[Breakbit]

there was nothing in the world

than to feel you deep in my heart

[mckott2]

es la cancion que refeja la cuota de amor, atraves de la imagen que se concervo en un recuerdo es algo hermoso su enfoque en ecena

[riverofdaquiris]

simply perfect
