The Cure - A Boy I never knew - Live München 2008

[daylonxxthecure]

does anybody know these chords i guess the first are am then c and idk

[THECURELOST13]

i think it is about Robert purposely not having a kid all these years because it would not be fair to him due to the touring and not willing to give up his little project known as "the cure". and now laments that decision based on what his experience with his nieces and nephews, and wisdom that comes from growing older.

but the song is cleveraly written so that it applies to miscarriage, abortion, infertility, not being allowed to have kids but want them, etc.

[gun7taf]

can sombody please tell wat this song is about?

[emibug1996]

I think it's about Mary having a miscarriage, and the baby would've been a boy. I'm probably wrong, but think about it.

[pacificyellowmermaid]

yes it is about a little boy..can be a baby

he never saw,meet but deeply loves

[thecurearethebest]

well if u read the lyrics it is about a girl who never got the guy of her dreams :)

is song is to amazing to be real

[amen2u]

uhhh...goaway013, you have a good point! I never thought about the fact that Robert Smith, has never had any children...now it makes perfect sense. Thank you and you Robert Smith =]

[ritaruizo1]

jason made a big mistake at the beginning in the intro with the drums, and robert looked at him like "how could you be so dumb!" and then go with simon and said "hey dude we have to take boris back! ha ha ha!! " and simon: "yeah! i know that! " ha ha ha

[Riotboy1]

I lol'd.

/+1

[paqui2007]

hahahaha

[Guedzilla]

Actually Jason is playing with the click right into his ear... if you follow the tempo from the beginning of the song you can see that Robert lost sync with it, not Jason...

Ok, 1 year later... but nobody said it yet.

It was Maik`s hair, he looks like Robert himself, a great fan from leipzig / germany, and togheter we had the great pleasure, to meet robert before the show. I used this scene for a kind of video-art, grhhh...

[ianawi]

i like the part where you cant see whats going on because of someone's robert smith hair in the way. priceless!

[Xephon212]

We are all The Cure's biggest fans.

Smith is a genius.

[greenbot]

im equally as big:)

[greyagain]

Brilliant!

I hope that they will include this one in the new l.p.

[greyagain]

here he plays the acoustic one

& at Mexico he played with the electric...

[pacificyellowmermaid]

ich war im Wien KOnzert..is was great..

[paqui2007]

Boris Williams is needed on this kind of songs... Jason drums lack power and presence...

[golinsche]

Dem stimme ich voll zu! Ich war in München und Oberhausen. Nicht vergleichbar, aber beides fantastisch. In München hat er den song allerdings noch emotionaler gesungen.

Ich war leider nur im Münchner Konzert dabei... Aber mal zu deiner Frage:

Ich hab gehört, Robert hatte den Song schon zu Wish-Zeiten fertig, hat ihn aber nicht veröffentlicht, weil er die Stimmung der Alben Wild Mood Swings bis The Cure nicht getroffen hat. Auf 4:13 wird er jetzt aber endlich erscheinen

[tubi3007]

Ja gigantischer Cure-Song, so großartig traurig, dass Robert, der diesen Song bereits vor Jahren geschrieben hatte, ihn erst jetzt veröffentlicht hat, eben weil er ihm damals zu traurig war. Das Album kommt vermutlich Anfang Mai in die Läden in Deutschland. Ein hoffentlich sehr interessantes Doppelalbum. Can`t wait to hear the songs......

[Irrenhaus3]

Sie sind es. Schonmal "Please Project" und "Freak Show" gehört? ;)

[michizanes]

i cant wait to hear this song in the studio album
