I can see why this must've been awkward filming, but I think Robert is overreacting when they say it's their worse video :) They really haven't made one REALLY bad video.
@Tinewashere It's pretty bad. Especially in context with the book. I can see how he would have hated it. I didn't know there was a video for it until just now.
One of the first concerts I went to. Loved them from the first time I heard them when I was 13 a long long freaking time ago. Saw them when I was 19 back in the very early 90's. This was one of my favorite songs by them back when I was a teenager still is.
I am sorry I have to disagree w u when u say in Spanish that this video is shit! Actually as a Cure fan I think all their videos are perfect! Just pay attention to the lyrics, it transports u to a trip into the song! The Cure member watching her enter the castle is FAB! Her eyes talk and you need nothing else!
"the masses werent supposed to get it, . . . or like it. " well that doesn't make a whole lot of sense ;-) hey, many great bands had a bad video director at some point. shit happens . didn't robert also say he hates that video? I think I heard him say that.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this is a foolishly bad video, ahhh - those cheesy 80ies video effects and the bad acting, lol. I'd say their worst video... glad they met tim pope :-) great song thow.
no dude. the video was cool, mysterious, . . .non - commercial. .. the masses werent supposed to get it, . . . or like it. definitely not music for the stupid man. . . that was the cure.
If this were my video, it would zoom out from me all staring like that to her changing in the locker room and all screaming and trying to cover herself up.
This is based on the book Charlotte Sometimes. Charlotte is going to a boarding school in 1969 England, and is switched with Clare, who is attends the same boarding school, only in 1918. The two girls' bed acts as a portal between the two years. Only every other night are the girls in the time they were originally in. Charlotte and Clare never met, but they kept a diary as means of communication.
Sorry, I think I got a little carried away, but does that help understand the meaning of the song?
Well, other stuff that is sort of like this that I personally love and you might want to check out are the bands Bauhaus and Joy Division. Siouxsie and the Banshees is pretty awesome too. Well, they're not really "dark," but they're different and their music is mesmerizing. Night Shift by them is one of my favourites.
bauhaus is good. i have 2 of their albums: burning from the inside and Go away white. slice of life is good and i like shes in parties. I dont really like joy division that much. Thats a good way to put siouxsie and the banshees they are mesmerizing great. Have you heard the Black Angels? They are pretty good. I have a cd called directions to see a ghost its trippy good. ha.
Favorite early goth/darkwave bands have to be The Cure, Siouxsie, Bauhaus, Christian Death, Alien Sex Fiend, Virgin Prunes, Danse Society, and Sex Gang Children. They fall into other genres, but I think they each helped form Goth Rock into a legitimate, unique genre.
Thanks. My dad had a dream that he had me, and he heard this song. " I'm Dreaming Charlotte Sometimes" I'm chuffed i found it. only came across it like a month ago and then found out. i listen to it everyday now xD
Uhh,, Yes I Am. I'm Free To Comment On What Ever Video I Like. You cant Say I'm Not, Coz Thankfully You Dont Know Me, Therefore Dont Know. This Music Is NOT Beyond Me, Ive Been Listening To This Type Of Music Forever. Go Get A Life :/
why would you make that comment to that girl like that? Whether she made it up or not why do you feel its necessary to put somebody down for no reason? People like you are whats wrong with society.
This was the song that first got me into the Cure twenty-seven years ago, and this is the first time I've ever seen the video. In those pre-MTV and internet days it probably wasn't aired very often.
como flasheaba con está canción...claro hace por lo menos 20 años...los chicos ya se vestían de negro, pero roberto ya empezaba a ver una moneda, ya no usaba tiradores porque empezo a comer algo y ya no se le caían los pantalones...
hard to believe this video is 25 years old, and got censored due to things in the last couple of years, you all do not know what you are talking about, carry on talking, talking, talking, empty air
I was obseesed with this song/video when it came out. I looped it for a full 45 min tape and would listen to it as I wrote. Now years later I still think it holds up - a great little ghost story!
I love it how all the members of the band are standing there staring at her, and apparently, she can't see them. Gives me a spooky, but understanding feeling.
Goth or emo isnt the problem! The people who use such designations r the problem. In the late 80's I was considered a punk or mod due to my my teased dyed black hairstyle and my choice in music. Music is music and however u choose to experience is your own way. Teased hair or choice in all black clothing is an individual thing. U r who u r and who cares about the people who label u.
I totally agree with you Brilobite ... this music has been lost to the latest generation, who have been brainwashed into thinking their music is "it" ... yet the crap coming out now is almost identical to the crap of the disco era. With the exception of Linkin Park, I don't think there are any good bands around now. Bring on the Cure!!!!!
Hey, I despise the crap that most of my generation has produced, all the good music came out at least a few years before I was born. I wish I was born in the early 70s, cause then I would have been old enough to appreciate music like this when it was produced. I hate modern music
the first time i heard the term emo was in emocore, pertaining to a genre of hardcore music such as the band lifetime and then all these little kids created another meaning for it all together... oh well, interesting view of the world being old, the cure have nothing to do with your strange emo class of crap music that is created today, they were who they were and expressed a raw emotion that few bands ever could or can
Robert Smith is right in that this really is a bad video for a brilliant song. The Cure have some standout videos over the years -- Lullaby - Close To Me - The Walk -this is not one of them. Great song though.
One user (lifeisgood1013) said: "the cure released their best work in the early 80s imo", in which "imo" means "in my (his) opinion". You have somehow mistaken it for emo, which is (supposed to be) a new "genre"...
I used to live near Buffalo, and the cure was in toronto , somewhere in canada, idk and i was going to randomly drive to canada and try to find their show, but i didnt make it and i still regret not trying, i will remember that when i am old and nasty, unless i get to see them, so please go on tour again!!!!
I thank you from the deepest of my heart for all these wonderful moments that you've given me, all those feelings you awaken.... you entertain and touch my soul in a uniqe way
anyone know of any good websites that have a good discography of The Cure? like names and dates and stuff? love this vid! i want that hair., grrrr jealous...........
The Charlotte Somtimes video was released on "Staring at the Sea-The Images" VHS 1986. The song, 1981. "Staring at the Sea" is out of production and was never released on DVD. (But thank god for DVD recorders) The song Charlotte Sometimes is based on Charlotte Sometimes, a children's novel by Penelope Farmer, published in 1969. If you've seen the album cover to the single, it's a distorted picture of Mary, Robert Smith's Wife.
The video was definitely made before '93. You can tell what year it is by the size of Robert and Simon's hair and what the makeup situation is. This would be circa 1981.
This is absolutelly one of the greatest songs ever written. The song itself has such a haunting melody and the music video is very evocative. I have never read the book the song is based off but I have wanted to for a while now. I wish the cure would write something this amazing again.
you can totally see robert experimenting with his own image in this video. probably wasn't a year later until he looked like the robert smith we all recognise.

what year was this song? i swear i heard it before 1993. or is being 32 that old already?

According to Amazon Music:
Original Release Date: August 31, 1981
I'd say maybe its the video that came out in 93, but The video has that early 80's feel to it feels too. (Particularity the Red Sky effect,)

The video was definitely made before '93. You can tell what year it is by the size of Robert and Simon's hair and what the makeup situation is. This would be circa 1981.

This is absolutelly one of the greatest songs ever written. The song itself has such a haunting melody and the music video is very evocative. I have never read the book the song is based off but I have wanted to for a while now. I wish the cure would write something this amazing again.

you can totally see robert experimenting with his own image in this video. probably wasn't a year later until he looked like the robert smith we all recognise.
