Imagine how much better this song would sound if Boris played it.

[SiameseTwins14]

bestival 2011 baby

[Primodummy92]

@mrsrobertsmith87 same here :D

[biacomas]

great performance! I like robert's mood here..

[mrsrobertsmith87]

@holbrook74...well said..

[mrsrobertsmith87]

As much as i love him, roger totally needs a haircut here..he can't pull it off like robert does..

[Ombrenuit]

reminds me of high school; really the soundtrack for my first relationship. Hilarious how Robert can't finish the note at the end though

[danny999911]

robert is actually a really good live singer

[dwnunder90]

the drummer totally sucks!

[dano555666]

I don't get how people say Robert looks fat.

He looks buff as fuck to me. Looks like muscle not fat. Maybe he eats lots of junky food, being on the go all the time and probably doesn't have regular sleep cycles, but all his moving around and standing up and lifting of equipment day in and day out just burns all that junk into muscle.

I like to think of him as the Alternate Chuck Norris, both in level of skill and awesomeness.

[darkforest121]

I do so love this song!! It has such an upbeat melody and beat that just mixes so well with the ever so unique voice that Robert has. Such a fun song indeed!! The Cure is a band who has truly stood the test of time. Such an amazing and awesome band!! Robert looks so amazing and he is amazing!! Rock on forever Cure!!

[The1ne07]

Jason's china sounds so clanky and dead.

[cure4allAndMe]

@The1ne07 he hits the drums and cymbals very very weak. Compare how Boris hit the cymbals and left them moving, Jason doesnt.

[guitarsarecoolbro]

I like this song!

[catlover1001]

i hope they never stop. the cure is what makes me keep going.

[wiccianway]

live forever robert you make me live and love

[starclub12]

que sexy el Robert :Q___

[eliinnos]

you gotta be kidding me.

I like the cure, but Robert looks like a fat witch..

[blackfeiticeira]

So you are perfect.

Fucking asshole

[Infestskaterofdoom]

WISH

i could go back to the time when this song ment the most to me,

but like always i have to do it all like yesterday, maybe someday..

[FAstFOot]

the bass player is such a goof! hes not serious is he?

[nicholasgilbertishot]

this is the best version live on youtube.

[Watdafuke]

"Jason" - hate fans that think there on a first-name basis with a band-member!!!!

The Cure have a lovely sound, superb vocals from "Robert" lol

[holbrook74]

Fucks sake, I just wish people would give jason a break! Alot of people don't like jason, not because of his drumming skills but because

A: He's not Boris Williams

B: Because he started drumming for The Cure around the Wild Mood Swings era.

And just because the new music from the cure hasnt been as good as its old stuff (dont get me wrong, i love the new stuff) they think its Jasons fault.

There's nothing wrong with Jasons drumming, Im still glad the cure are making music!

[TheAndoman]

All that proves is that your memory is poor.

[Georg1986]

I think the loss of the keys is way more dramatic than his playing

[simionTheOne]

i agree to be honest

people thought Lol wasn't big either

but when i hear All cats are grey

i think thats some crazy ass drumming !

& he seems to be a bti forgotten too

he was the cure's darkest drummer in one of their best periods if u ask me

[sunilthegreat]

@simionTheOne - everything on 'Faith' and before was drum machine. Lol was credited as drummer, but the sounds on the albums are all programmed.

[alfhalfling]

hope you like this version from mtv icon

[JasonUsuck]

People was in shock at the end! anybody clapped hahha ...bad song really!

[JasonUsuck]

One of the bad songs of the "Jason-era"...mmm.. but 99.9% of them are bad!

Jason sucks! it's the worst drummer ever in The Cure.

Watch my video!

[vendo89]

i think you are crazy... i don't know the cure....

go listen the cure and bloodflowers...

[Myung13]

oh and delay

[brianmoon10]

cant live without the cure!

[truefaith00]

Can anyone inform me as to what effect/pedal etc. Perry is using for that beautiful sound around the 2:10 mark?

[Myung13]

phaser and chorus i guess

[sidneidos]

ótimo

[jnabors1]

This is just a reworked version of Just Like Heaven. It might be time for Bob to pull the plug on the Cure.

[satellitecitybatch]

The only way in which it's similar to Just Like Heaven is it has the same effects and therefore feel, they're completely different songs, Robert is such a diverse songwriter and lyricist, you look at other bands, most of their songs will sound exactly the same. Go listen to fucking My Chemical Romance or something dickhead.

[jnabors1]

I have always been a fan of the Cure and I always will. The self titled album had major problems, with this song just being one of them. You can practically hum the keyboard line from In Your House to the track alt.end. It's exactly the same. By the way I hate My Chemical Romance dickhead!

[satellitecitybatch]

Haha fair enough, but I'm sorry I have to disagree with you, it hink it's all original, and if not, they've managed to make it sound original and sound good. If you're real Cure fan then I'm sorry, I just hate dickheads coming on to Cure videos and saying they're shit.

[jnabors1]

I am a fan of the Cure's darker and more melancholic side I suppose. I just feel that Robert could write so much better than what he does sometimes. Some of the pop he writes feels forced, like he has to appease certain people with that type of music. I love Anniversary and Going Nowhere from the self-titled work. I guess the song I hate the most is End of the World. It's just so blaah!

[1975leolion]

"As I heard Meat is Murder of the Smiths, the first thing I did was to go to a restaurant to order a bloody steak." Robert Smith

Nice song. Remind a bit of the Wish period.

[the0ataraxia]

tomorrow i can start again....:)

beautiful song...

The Cure is Amazing....

[hardcoreunderwear]

I love this song...

The lyric is amazing!!!

[anonimo11]
