[SabrinaB94]

[Carogrania]

Esta versión es musicalmente a la primera lo mismo que este video al anterior: más alegre. Quiero nadar en el fondo del mar con los the Cure!!!

[YouXKneekXIT]

[defectedkiwi]

Absoluetely love this version from the Mixed Up album... Close to Me (Closer Mix)...Remixed by a person by the name of Paul Oakenfold...

[guitaristshad]

Robert Smith's voice kills me everytime- it's just so damn great...

[pingui123098]

epsually this is not an alternative vidoe of the song but a video that continues the original and is apllied to the remixed song because if you notistthe clap are lost jeje

[OOEraider]

Lol the octopus looks like a huge glans penis. Good song and band, silly video though. However, I think that was the point.

[thetruejaneysue]

LOLOLOL!!!

[dlbordin]

Amo!

[TiteKubo2]

Does anyone know where I can find the version of this that was towards the end of a documentary called Goth Cruise?

[chipster15]

They are a really great band...

[CrazyAbe101]

i loovvveee this version of the song! :D i play it every day and even learned the bass line to it! xD it makes me happy. :)

[elevatedspirit]

I love the two versions,i play this bass line every day too.For me this is the happy version and the other is the sad one.

[kidsarocker]

Know what you mean, the arrangement of this song is just amazing

[nightjade08]

I actually have this version of the song on my ipod

[crippleslayer]

bloodhound gang sample this song its called she aint got no legs

its a great song too

[kidsarocker]

Fuck samples man -nothing beats the original idea

[richieboy1973]

fantastic song! could play it over and over again

[ChocoMog230]

i think we can all agree that any version of this song is excellent

[6747654]

[narayan2000]

bitte welt-kultur-erbe für alle und umsonst!!!

please keep this free for all in the idea of world-cultural-heritage!!

[RobPic914]

This one is on the Galore album too. I like it, but the original is a lot better in my opinion, but that's probably just cos the original one is brilliant.

[punk4life2946]

i fuckin love this version

[amers83]

one of my earliest memories of the cure was listening to mixed up.played this song constantly.still makes me happy.

[sgtpeppers94]

i like this version better

[ScouseMikelMouse]

I too can play the comb, just like that

[Crispy22]

whats this version called?

i have it on a burned cd my friend gave me, and its my favorite version of the song, but i dont know which mix it might be...anyone here able to help me out?

[ScouseMikelMouse]

It's still called Close to me!

Check out Close to me Mixed up, ya can buy it on cd, it rocks

[Crispy22]

i know, but is it the closer mix, closest mix...or which album is it on, cus it comes out like on 3 or 4 albums i think

[drsupacool]

Love this song! I think Paul Oakenfold remixed this version, who is also an amazing artist.

[JufersNT]

Great! The Cure is The cure... This version was as nice as the other one.

[mattcollaro]

someone told me this song was abou ta dope addiction comment if you know any thing about it

[cugui]

best song ever :)

[jrwade67]

Thanks for posting this version. I saw in an interview that this was Robert's favorite version and I have been looking for it!

[superomegamegacop13]

got a really wierd version of this song on my vids check it out it by the cure or atleast smith is singing just trust me its cool

[haightmachine]

"mixed up" was the first time i bought a cure album..

[JustAFocus]

This version has a pretty chill shuffle feel, but I gotta say that for me, nothing beats the syncopated off-beat awesomeness of the original. Maybe because I'm a keyboardist and drummer -- I like the more stripped-down sound with the minimalistic keyboard out in front and the more interesting beat to drum along to.

But hey, they're both great.

[solitudinarian]

My fav. Cure vid!

[21idiots]

I LOVE IT!!!!

[GlooStix]

The original is 150x better!

[nuttyboy11]

I used to listen to this version daily on the mixed up cd....... Love it....NB11

[Mstar82]

I love the "original" more, but this mixed version isnt bad :)

[elodiefan]

love this version most (the brass section makes it so much more sexy)

[skateboard3001]

exactly

[KamillaNeeraas]

Love this version!

[MCMxx39]

where can i possibly download the mp3 for this song?

[michingood]

Don't know about downloading, but it's on the Cure's "Mixed Up" album...

[Numita]

Que video tan divertido!!! it's so funny....The Cure forever!!!! The Best Group

[numbforthought]

When the wardrobe falls off the cliff...does anyone knows where that was flimed? all i know is it is a famous suicide spot...

[nukkumatti13]

Beachy Head. The Same place where Just Like Heaven is filmed

[numbforthought]

Thank You.

[cavemancarpenter]

awesome, thanx for posting...

[obeygiant10]

wtf

[llaurita2]

This version is better

[fonnysoci]

don't think so... love the other version better..

[Dorottya83]

this version is way sexy sounding....

[boogieblunt]

fuck this is still dope. wicked shit after all these yrs.

[kommsussertodsd]

Esta es la mejor version xD

[TheCureObsessive]

[KamillaNeeraas]

[AidanBroe]

[tomundcarla]

[16animeluvr16]

I LOVE the Cure! Such a great band, i love both verions of the song. ^^

[vipu]

best!

[beherit15]

esta es la que recuerdo, prefiero esta

[SomethinRofl]

I like them both a lot. This one reminds me of a more relaxed day. I don't get how anyone can call this song sissy compared to... ALL of the Cure's songs.

[LillybethNoire]

<3<3<3

[PillOfCure]

Whouaa j'aime cette version =)

En plus y à Simon xd

[boysdontcry95]

this version is good but i think my favourite would be the original from head on the door.

[Kay3o]

How the hell... is this version sissy.

[lixxx87]

it's worse than original version::

[boysdontcry95]

then why did you watch it?

[restrepor]

prefiero esta

[sasseriansection]

A "sissy" Cure song and video? Surely you jest. If you can't take the retarded genius of this video, then you don't get it at all.

Please, go back to Cinnabun.

[GreenBanana92]

yeah the other version is much better

[Molkosforo]

i really hate this version

[habibty70]

this version is kinda sissy

[CHRESTREPO]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm no se conque version quedarme esta es algo mas colorida qeu la otra

[ghanisbuli]

It's not an alternative version, it's another video--for the "Closer Mix" from the album "Mixed Up."

[AnimeB01]

the mans right, my fav version to i dont care who hates it don't listen to it ^^

[ScientologyWisdom]

Somehere between the wardrobe falling from the cliff and opening in the water, Laurence Tolhurst disappeared.

Seriously though, an awesome video from one of the greatest bands on Earth.

[daust126]

now this is original music and style

[therealMarcoman]

Cool!

[BluePoette]

Mucho fantastic shoesies!!!!

[pityisz]

[fredblair88]

yes a classic :) and I prefer this version

[rnrjesus]

faking šit....jebeno dobro!!!!!!!!

[queenmob1977]

a classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[username14657]

I love this song. LOVE IT.

[val3ntinV]

one of my favorite cure songs, i did an animation for it. check it, just click on my name, im still working on it though, and this version is really nice.

[pityisz]

This version is better

[YoshiMx24]

It's called Close Tome (Closer Mix)

[taaaaas]

Hmmmm to me the other version is betterrr

[rhysskateswednesdays]

this isnt the closet version starsapphire800

someone cut the intro from the closet version and put it on the original version

the closet version doesnt have the tamborine or whatever this one has and the trumpets are a lil different i think and the closet one has is an instrumental brass section haha

but still a fantastic song. and fantastic band. and robert smith is very lyrically talented. amazing that hes still going at almost 49 and still rockin the make up (creepy much)

[starsapphire800]

pretty sure this version is called the closet mix, if any of you were wondering.

[nancinoonah]

this versional is terrible, not as much soul and feeling in it,

[Lindyhops17]

Shut the fuck up slag face

[nancinoonah]

haha funny LINDENNNNNNNNN!

[chloeT7492]

aw lucky octopus. This video looks like it was more fun to make than the original but still both versions of the song are great.

[VClip73]

I love the cure! :)Me recuerda mis viejos tiempos cuando estaba en la Uni y compartíamos mis amig@s por las calles de Maracaibo en mi carrito Fiat Regata, todo chatarra!!:)

[alejandro15187]

I dig the orignal more. This reminds of "Damn it fees good to be a gangsta" by the Geto Boys. It's alright. I miss the hands claps and the more upbeat...beat, I guess.

[TheTypicalGirl]

But since this predates that song by about 15 years, shouldn't that one remind you of this one?

[kuceuix]

;3; I LUV YA ROBERT <3

[kuceuix]

;3; I LUV YA ROBERT <3

[manutdfanatics]

Gorgeous music.

[thecure021283]

[JOHNNYSxMONKEY]

love this one xD

[DrizzleLightBlue]

=)

[MistaJussuEntGroup]

Oh, bittersweet memories from teenhood. Actuallu the remix didn`t make the song better at all but the video is fun.

[iainscot2007]

this is the paul oakenfold remix of close to me , great tune thanks for uploading

[bosphorate]

i think this is a kind of nightmare.you are about to choke under the water but cannot walk or move at all so that you are stuck by something.for example that could be an octopus:))

[mattderrenson]

turn the clock back about 17 years and the Cure had a disk out called Mixed Up. Extremely hard to find now but if you can trust me it will be worth the listen. Remixes of all their classic tunes including this one

[blockingspam]

dude, YES. that album got me into them!

[Imaeto]

Aw, so kawaii. Thank you for up-loading. Where did you find it?

[HitmanXP]

it is included in their greatest hits dvd boxset

[EXCSEX]

esta es la version para los que son claustofobicos(lo dije bien?). ya que el otro video es todo dntro del ropero

[frostbitesuxass89]

ahah wtf? a octopussss?! -sp-

[roberto358]

He esperado horas para esto

He enfermado tanto

Desearía haberme quedado dormido hoy

Nunca pensé que este día terminaría

Nunca pensé que esta noche podría estar

Tan cerca de mí

[antigone765]

love it!!!!

[wanealy]

I'm a fan of hip hop, and I couldn't resist the dope beat matched with the beautiful lyrics. These cats were cool.

[xPerfectCellx]

hahah i know exactly wat u mean

[myadidaz]

love this version

[astrosecret]

this is fucking awesome

[Seresland]

este video marea un poco no lo creen? :Þ

pero igual es muy bueno y la versión un tanto menos alegre, pero me agrada

[michaelb182]

this song version is very better but i prefer the other video

[marokokisetter]

I like this version a lot better!

[vampirefra]

thsi alternative video is fucking awesome!!!!

[QfromAirdrie]

I always preferred this version of the song.

Thanks for adding it.

[RemixRik]

Great alternate version of a song that I already love. Very imaginative video.

[5eliza87]

I loved this vid, 'cause was the first one I saw of The Cure ^^

it takes me back to my high school days lol :')

[snoopygirl107]

When I was younger I always liked watching the video because of the starfish. :)

[lisora]

he has alot of nightmares doenst he lol but out of those nightmares comes great videos :)

[saiyaman60649]

You can skate to this version.

[luffeh]

Ha! This was NOT made in 2000, Xiroi87. It was made in 1990, with the release of Mixed Up. It was one of 2 singles from the remix compilation. The Close To Me "Closer Remix", & Never Enough were the 2 singles, Never Enough being the only entirely 'new' song on the album.

[Xiroi87]

Wow, really? Time flies!!!

Now, seriously I remember when this video was aired on TV and I'd have sworn it was around the late 90's or so. They do look a lot older. Could it be the video was made later than the remix? I can't believe it's been 17 years!!!! It hardly feels like 10. Oh boy, I'll have to start to take notes...

[Xiroi87]

This is the video they made around 2000 with a remix. They look clearly older. The video starts where the original ended (drowning and singing)... All this happy ending stuff is just so no The Cure. It seems so unnecessary... but I love Robert Smith anyway.

[TheTypicalGirl]

This video is much older than 2000.

[jeandepaul]

no, it's much YOUNGER than 2000. dinosaurs are older than 2000 but not this

[culbeni]

1985 !

[erives174]

Does ANYONE know where I can get a collection of The Cure videos? They're impossible to find!!! Please reply to this if u know. Thanx!

[stover75]

Really like The Cure

I had this Single one of the first records that got me into The Cure

From my favourite album 'The Head on the Door', well the original version was.

I like this one just as much - dead jazzy.

The 'All Mixed Up' LP it was from was dead popular at our College in 1991-92

R.E.M. were just becoming massive round this time too

Halcyon daze

[almdrs]

I like both versions! This one is very weird. :}

[deathtrip66]

never eat acid and listen to the pornoghaphy album....trust me its crazy...unless you like crazy shit ..... then be my guest

[2dzombie]

REMINDS me of the mighty boosh for some reason

it is good♥
