Staggering.  Who would've thought Robert Smith dug Johnny Boy?

Beautiful version.

[BigIainy]

Robert,gaun yerself,standout track on the album,i love it and I bet The Big Man would have as well

[terryeggett1]

An excellent tribute for an artist who should be revered.

[DamianNixon]

some nice samplig in there NOT! Over-produced. Sampled to DEATH.

[panzermort]

@DamianNixon yep gotta agree the original one take martyn from 70;s, maybe it will get someone turned onto John you never know

[thehoodedclot]

Stunning....... Lovely bob.

[fivethumbsfrank]

RS did a great job on this.

[guatemalanchiq]

robert never ever disappoints, i love him. this song makes me feel things i can't explain, good things.

[jdcapshew]

I wish Robert Smith would do his own tribute album to John Martyn. This song channels everything I love about both artists.

[Allen1134]

[noelb23]

Culled from BBC6music, thank-sod for them.

See the Cure at Isle Of Wight Bestival in September 2011, I for one, will be shouting for this. See you there.

[jodiesometimes]

I wish that I could find a word better than incredible, but I can't. Robert Smith covering John Martyn...it's perfection.

[chrisBausBanderW]

[109messerschmittbf]

"Well, you're very, very lovely, going to take you home"...

Sensual, sentimental, simple yet sophisticated...

Absolutely gorgeous...

[bid84]

Unreal! quality cover

[SimulacronX]

Amazing... but where did you get this from?

[entreat71]

@SimulacronX I just recorded a stream from a radio show and edited the announcer out of it, glad you enjoy it, it's a great track

[SimulacronX]

@entreat71 Absolutely, thanks for bringing us this gem

[mandofarrem]

@entreat71 What software did you use?

[johnmartyntribute]

Oh well, didn't know, that Robert Smth made also a cover from a martyn song! Martyn on "the cure", very nice! Thanks for this upload!

[jodiesometimes]

Thank you...it really sounds incredible. Nice start to my day!!

[wadejen31]

Thanks for sharing..

[greyagain]

lovely (as usual happens with everything uncle-Bob is involved, i guess)

~*~

[ianmcgeachy]

Many thanks for this...I knew about this and wondered what it would sound like. The final version will be interesting too. Id be very interested to know how this was recorded too..if done as a 'one man' job a la JM himself (but with added track effects). He's done a fine job of this..departing enough from the original to stop total comparison, and *this* classic of JMs is always going to be difficult to cover, bit like someone covering ECs 'Layla' !. Brill job anyway !

[curegirl413]

I was just going to make a video for this,thanks for making one.It is exactly what I expected from Robert,it is as beautiful as he is:)

[albertjruiz]

Wow.  Incredible song. Never knew it existed.
