Strange Days 07.HappyBirthday - The Cure

[glowsofelsewhere]

the reason you probably couldnt find it [a video of this] anywhere, is bc its from about a million years ago ~ for simon's 20th b-day :):):)!!! That Robert dide *himself* with a 4-tracked keyboard and drum machine.

[TheNiteNite]

Nice!

[TheNiteNite]

Nice...



[TheSgallup]

Feliz cumpleaños!

[kipperwacker]

this is not the original version btw. but it sounds nice. i have a vinyl version 'strange days' the original is at least 10 minutes long, recorded for simon's 20th birthday. i'll post it once i sort out my vinyl-mp3 thing - watch this space. but in the meantime - 'the teenage dream is over... wish i was another number...'

[scarecrowdark]

Robert loves Simon

Simon loves Robert

and i love Robert and Simon

The Cure is the best!!!

[goingawaysomeday]

sounds a bit like "The Blood", thanks for posting its a great song!!!

[Nevermind8000]

wish they would sing happy birthday for me :D

[explodingboy21]

"Simons birthday in half an hour...so this is for him." =) I have a video from 2008 on my videos of them doing Faith at the Shrine Auditorium and singing happy birthday to Simon during Faith. He goes into it around 5 min and 43 seconds.

thanks for posting this! I first heard this off of a bootleg I bought called "Simon's 20th Birthday'" at Record Ron's in the French Quarter, New Orleans. Fucking love it!

[Wherewolvesdotnet]

this song is another take on FOREVER

[sonic2005]

Yes, but Forever is take on THREE xDD

[JonVind]

Dude, I never heard this song before. Is this on an album? I thought I heard everything they did. I'm stumped. mail me.

[MademoiselleCure]

I don't know, because I have never heard it before. I found it some days ago here and I'm amazed by this song. I also thought I know all their songs but... it seems we still can be suprised. :)

[jazzless2001]

old bootleg from 1980, simons 20th bday

[lafaesboy]

it's kind of misleading with the berli footage, but still a great song

[deurbe]

it was in berlin wasnt it?

[ClockwiseCat]

LOVE THIS SONG! Early CURE = AMAZING.

[Yoric]

This was sung on the eve of Simon's 20th birthday, right around 11.30pm. It first appeared on the bootleg album Girls Don't Cry, which was adorned with lots of sketches of girls in bondage.

[simonyada]

[tmafkap]

Thanks for posting this! I used to wake up with this song on my birthdays as long as the tape lived...

[1chrissirhc1]

Thanks for typing the lyrics out ;)

[1chrissirhc1]

Ohh not sure if your talking about the setlist for when they played it in concert. But as far as I am aware I had this list from the albumn that included this song. I dont remember now where I got the cover artwork from that might add to some confussion :-P. I had to download the albumn im afraid and this was how they were labeled not all the tracks were live some were studio versions.

[OhNoAHyaena]

Now I look back, and every present I've ever given seems so weak in comparison.

[1chrissirhc1]

The friend I made this for said something very similar :-) Was the nicest thing to hear from her. :-D...Just makes the next birthday gift a little harder now :-P

[alexisbarrerao1]

It's just perfect!

[1chrissirhc1]

ty :-)

[buckaroopoo]

Oh and by the way have you got this on CD because i have it but not all the tracks

[1chrissirhc1]

I have it as a .mp3 at the moment I keep meaning to post it somewhere for my friend. Where there any particular songs you were missing ?

[buckaroopoo]

Nah it was forever it was Simon Birthday song

[mohhie]

another great version of Forever :-)

love them!

[oscaressence]

jajajaa por dios, que deje las drogas....

[laurentayler]

[AshleyyT]

Luvin' it!

[1chrissirhc1]

They all look a lot older now in my remake video :-P

[AkZiccI]

[ajittffcure]
