The Cure - Close To Me: Stereo

[romumons]

trop bon , pas d autre mots

[jokekneesociety]

that clapping at the start is my favourite intro to any song ever, without exception... quite upset it's not on the 'new' version!!!

[TinyVessels00]

Wait a second...Is the Lady Sovereign song So Human a cover of this? They sound ridiculously the same.

[BTMadness]

Essentially, yes.

Its not exactly a cover, as the individual verses are different, but parts of the chorus and most of the actual music are.

[blink182fan10]

I never thought today would end. I never thought tonight could ever be this close to me...

[ulty77]

i like the cure, dah doo doo, sweet XD

[bigman32193]

[MadMonsterMarshall]

I love the beat in the background XD

[sugarscapefan1996]

[Lidicee]

haaa,haaaaa,haaaa,haaa,,

[BatGirl2Vatican]

~~1985~~A hell of an incomprehensibly exhilarating year...too much to write on a U-Tube comment line but all the while--playing in the back-ground that year was --The Cure's seriously fabulous "Close To Me"....~~~Oh take me back~~~

[vennom212]

great song ! reminds me of a peroid many summers ago ! =)

[388Penguin388]

Holy cow, how could I forget about this song? Thanx 4 posting!!

[talldrnkofwater]

This reminds me of a wonderful, carefree time in my life.

[dobsonbell]

original is always amazing, but the get up kids cover is flawless

[Leviiify]

amazing tune :D

[CJWensleydale]

Oi !!!...That's a bloody good wardrobe that is! - Watcha think yer doin' chuckin off a cliff like that eh?

[eyesorbe]

@CJWensleydale Seriously! There's kids in Africa that could use that wardrobe. OK - maybe not Africa. But still...

[sareusepeus]

I really like the puppets used in this video!

[sareusepeus]

Yeah, me too!!!

[snoopydance71]

this song was in "accepted"or at least i think that was the name of that justin long movie.

[muts85]

slightly funny song ^.^

[TheJooliapoolia]

Everytime I listen to this song I love more and more

[koRn12121]

same, ive been listening to it for years now over and over again and it still hasnt lost its magic

[zackpliskin]

Wow, all the times I heard this I never suspected that The Cure wrote it. It sounds like a fractured tribute to old 50s soul records, and I like it.

[StefaniaPamelaGraff]

Beutty song (:

[shroomser1]

Looking for my first love,who inspired this song in my heart...the sweetest woman Ive ever laid with,Cheryl was her name,and she as beautiful as a million sunsets

[michanita]

[regW10]

u must haVE SHIT DREAMS

[heavymetalkid999]

lolage

[ruantengyi]

We didn't know that 24 years later, British rapper Lady Sovereign will be using a sample of this song for her song" I'm so human".

[Limei666]

1:05.... sexy.

[embutlerxx]

i heart the comb :D

[moraes2507]

Yeah, this is the original song. Love it also. A classic from the 80s.

[shaddixable]

i've waited hours for this

i've made myself so sick

<3

[obezka1]

But if I had your face

I could make it safe and clean

If only I was sure

That my head on the door

Was a dream

[sumufish]

I love this song!!

Is this the original song of the cure?

or cover of somebody else?

[Jasonbjamin]

anyone get that there stuck in a closet.. haha I know there not gay but its funny

[oMEN88]

This soo just makes me sooo happy...Enjoy life and dont waste it :D . Love you all.. x

[gennariello94]

this song is the better (Y)

[MetalDrummer08]

the beginnning hella reminds me of the lion king game on sega genesis!!! ahh the gool ol days :D

[brmanuk]

you're right mate

[dolly32112]

that boy plays a mighty fine comb ;)

[jordanalanclaxton]

should use a brush better sound quality then a comb

[steve34robbo]

5*'s!!

[georgia4dougie]

i wish i could play the comb.

[Rand0m2006]

I had a barber that could play Fur Elise on his. no joke ;P

[lurdanhelhart]

Wish more Goth and Emo kids realized these guys weren't 'cool' because they mascaraed their eyes and wore dark brooding rags, but because they loved life and gave no fuck what anyone else thought so long as they had their imagination and had their passion.

[screamolives]

I agree

[SiouxSyndicate]

4 CB..X!

ONELOVE

[bobinrob]

Why embedding disabled by request Universal? That's the whole point of YouTube. Sheesh.

[rand1182]

i really really like this song and i cant find one version of it where embedding is enabled, which sucks, this should so be on my bebo page

[akastalin]

せまいよー　くらいよー　あ～　おちるぅ～

[screamolives]

Who sang the original?

I think The Cure did this justice over anyone else.

[ItsAMeTomVooren]

The cure did. >.>

[Sophires]

lol, Lady Sovereign is just a nooby which makes music since 5 years ago, these guys made this music in 1985, your Lady Sovereign was barely even born :')

[iluvyou64]

i love the cure! they are soo unique and special!

[Wanted935]

è uguale a quella degli 0 assoluto (per dimenticare) la base!!!

[destranera86]

è quella degli 0 assoluto che è uguale a questa!!!!! sta canzone ha 20 anni!!!

[ciaga]

certo che adesso non sanno proprio inventare niente di nuovo, sanno copiare bene pero' :-)

[YankyPantsProduction]

This song is 24 years old, thats probably about the same age as Lady sovereign. unless she was a baby genius i doubt the cure copied her

[SuperShaun1992]

haha they ripped off lady sovereign? funny shit!

[Shadow12345]

ya real funny becuase the cure wrote this like 3 years b4 she even came out

[julianjulianjulian7]

otha way around

[mrselley]

are you joking?

[RPGonline2]

This is a great song 8D

[MadamoiselleButerfly]

When my best friend and I were going to Ibiza we had theis on at 3am driving on the motorway on the way to the airport.

Brilliant.

[pittoken]

i wish my comb played like that lol. luv the song .

[pipedope29]

Great song! What instrument is that horn at 1:59?

[TezzaPKS]

is it an electric flute?

[TExtranho]

ocarina

[xElectricVibe]

robert knows how to get to my heart.

*faints* >_>

[psychothedy]

amazing song :D

[MrPuddams]

I love the cure. They always remind me of my mum. Shes used to have hair like Robert Smith in the 80s =].

[cromagpdx]

PREFER THIS OVER THE 90'S VER.

[L0tusPrimaria]

So mais fã dos clipes do The Cure com atmosfera mais obscura mas adoro esse clipe <3

[almarjon1]

Its getting better in your wardrobe Robert.

[iliketosmashpumpkins]

great vidoe as well

[Alannbitchh]

I also like to smash pumpkins

Billy Corgan - LEGEND

Robert Smith - ALSO LEGEND

[saxengee]

i love robert!

[matramoura68]

What a band!

[ivanzuelo23]

Que pinche rolita tan sabrosa!!! una de mis favoritas, aparte esta gran banda influyo mucho en mi banda favorita, Caifanes. Gracias The Cure

[SuperHello71]

cock sucking sound! great song....

[npluijm]

ow the sax...........grrrr

love this son, makes me so happy

[SOMOGYI8230]

Their only fine moment after they did 3 imaginary boys and a bit of 17 seconds.

[SquammyBabe]

I have always said I want this song to be the last thing I hear before I die. It really gets under my skin, in a good way,. Gives me goosebumps when I hear it

[XkimberlyXkidnappX]

Good Memories (:

[Vykvajzz]

How can Lady Sovereign destroy this classic?!

[jooble]

lolol i love her version

[lordrunken]

bc she wants to make money....

[Vykvajzz]

Yes, I know...I hate mainstream like her...

[SpoonsXownXsinceX92]

Mainstream music is horrible in this Era. I wish the majority went back to classic bands like AC/DC and Black Sabbath.

[jlb9210]

I don't know if you're referring to this song, but if you are take a look at the description - 1985.

[SpoonsXownXsinceX92]

I wasnn't refering to this song, this is good.

[Tortia123456]

this is one of the best songs from the cure i think

i love this sonnggg soo much

[blahblahblahgh]

The Cure is amazzzzing:) I loooooooooooooove them.

My mother grew up liking them even before people started to get to know who they are and it rubbed off on me. I didn't even know who they were up until a couple years ago(of course I recognized their songs because my mom had played them) but I never started to really like them up until then.

[thatcoolguy69]

Thanks for your life story.

[xoxoNewRomanticxoxo]

watching this i realize.... all goths look the same to me..... is that racist?

[myselfjene]

LOL thats really funny to me

cause Robert smith doesn't look like Marilyn Manson and both are goths.

[xoxoNewRomanticxoxo]

yeah but robert smith isnt like... son of satan, and id say marilyn is more emo

[Malaru7]

Thank you for that but it can be written either way either Spelled or Spelt I looked it up in the dictionary so both are actually correct.

[stellaluna92]

When I was little I used to think they were actually playing the combs :D

[1969Brookie]

the "close to me- closer mix" video is awesome also. it's a continuation of this video. I actually like it better. Much more fun. But this one is great also. Anything by The Cure is AWESOME!!!

[searavok]

to je najglupji video kojeg sam ikad vidila

[lilmisschattabox96]

L-O-V-E it this is my favourite song by the cure... and although i quite often get new favourite songs.. this is my favourite of all time!!

[steamingbog]

the commercial hit that sent them into the mainstream...and a shit hot song.

[DancingAngelicR]

Tis one of my top favorite Cure songs. Smiles.

[Malaru7]

Why the Fuck would I get a thumbs down for saying I think it was Either 70's or 80's? It was An Answer And It was in the 80's so grow up people who did that grow Up, I love this song so DO not Ruin it for others by putting a Thumbs Down On Comments It's Rude and Uncalled for.

[dasfeuerzeug]

calm down

i gave you a thumbs up xD

[Malaru7]

Thank you ^ ^ Much appreciation from me

[0bsexxion]

lawl XD

[Malaru7]

You must have no life, I happen to Love The Cure and love this song so what is your problem?

[0bsexxion]

Yeah I have no life, right mate. hah.

[Malaru7]

True which is why you spelt laugh out loud wrong. But why would you laugh?

[0bsexxion]

are you taking the piss? Settle down mate,it may never happen.

[emoscreamokd]

i love this song but it i was round b4 i was even born but i loveeee it xxx

[JackNavin092]

i like em

[lastoppa]

clustrophobical!!! five stars...

[simon1975]

how old is this song?!

[Malaru7]

This song I think was done in the 70's close to the 80's

[JimBobInc]

1985

[Malaru7]

That's why I said 80's in there ^^

[Longhorn55555123]

24 years old

[Malaru7]

Why yes yes I am that old ^ ^

[1969Brookie]

this song came out in 1985 and then the "close to me- closer mix" extended video came out in 1990. If you like this watch the closer mix version of this song. it's on my channel.

[natalieghost92]

No matter how many covers I have heard of this, the orginal of course could never be out done!

[darioism76]

this version of the video is way better than the video for the re-mixed version. I read one book about The Cure`s history and in one chapter, it talked about how they made this video, and how Lol had some flatulence problems. He`s such a funny lad.

[Malaru7]

Wooot I love this song ^ ^

[danishdude76]

I loved this song from the 1st time I heard it - and it's still my favourite Cure-song of all times. Fantastic band!

[knbbt]

I wish the (audio) quality was better on this one.

[moskerus]

listen the original LP. Much better

[TheFreshy1979]

He is just an eccentric by nature. Brilliant, love him ;)

[zyan05]

i think he is on pills or something in this video he is always fucked up ha . Its cool Robert i usually am too love ya

[ELEPHANTspoon]

i dont get it. do they die, or what?

[CynicallyInsaneX]

Watch the music video for the remix.

[NeebsLucas11]

well most of us do die eventually :D

[FaceDeChou]

so beautiful..

[NICKJAMESBXTCH]

great song!

[trafficlights1]

ty LOADS for the song ^^

this is my fav version =D

[99cents]

the version on "Mixed Up" is my favorite. I still love this version too though. God, what happened to Robert?

[kontekoekerd]

he died of make up poisenong.

[NeebsLucas11]

ummmm...no offense, but thats bullshit. he's still alive.

[ZoMbIxOxO]

Well I love the music more htna the singling... the like sound of the panting noise and the 'comb' and everything... <3

This is always my favourite song I can always listen to :)

[MegaRockerO1]

the cures wierd vid makes them original and unique(:

now and days u dnt see that alot

rite on cure fans(:

[CATastrophiclovers]

Robert Smith really, really, looks like something from the Mighty Boosh hahahaha.

[NeebsLucas11]

omg yes! i love that show.

[pittoken]

you meen that bloke from the mighty boosh looks like robert smith lol

[CATastrophiclovers]

Haha, great description! He half reminds me of er, the Shaman guy, I've forgotten his name haha.

[fukkinmuppit]

naboo!

[99cents]

other way around

[CATastrophiclovers]

Perhaps, yes seeing as Robert would be older, but let's not get into technicalities!

[giovesir]

i zero assoluto hanno copiato sta canzone!

[arcesmain]

intramontabile ed indimenticabile !!

[yantamere]

I can't believe the riddim i like so much in ragga music comes from the Cure :D

[kikee332]

love this

[merlinasmith]

Robert es el hombre mas hermoso de este mundo, me encanta este video. lo amo :)

[bloodflower17]

I totally disagree with you ! How can you compare George Michael with such great band as The Cure ? That's nonsense !

[boopdeedeedoo]

AGREED !

[thisheatdeceit]

does anyone agree with me that george micheals FAITH sounds like this .

did he steal the tune from this ??? then name it and the album FAITH as a tribute to robert and the boys lol

[PorkandBBQ]

yes i definately agree :)

[kontekoekerd]

Nice hairdo.

[hayabusa42]

Sure i read they had been out for a curry the night before they shot this video, must have stunk!!!!

[Aprilkitty87]

you gotta be talented if you can make a comb sound that good. lol.

[greystripe99]

the vidio is weird (i stress that) but the music will always be good

[mekoforever]

creepy vid but I still love this song!! XD

[0ut0fn0thingdrumer]

[mcmillankid]
