Good analysis. I don't mind the eyeliner though. The Cure can't be catorgorized, and Robert gets pissed when they are labeled as Goth, etc. Robert's work has a tragic, Shakespearean guality to it, steeped in deep melancholy.
Though I admired The Cure in their prime when everyone else liked Guns and Roses, I never fully understood how powerful this band was until my divorce recently. Heartache is inevitable with love, and The Cure has got me through these hard times. Thank you Robert!
what an amazing song my god. The cure have fabulous songs and they are really one of the greatest bands ever, even thought I was always more into the smiths and the stone roses, depeche mode, new order, etc--, I have always adored the cure-
For the two idiot's below, this happens to be one of the most beautiful song's I've ever heard and if you don't appreciate proper Emotional music rather than your shity modern fake emo music wich is socialy cliched you suck.
one of the best songs ever !every time i listen to it it makes me wanna dance... and also cause i´m soft and only, lost and lonely, strange as angels... lol !!
"Oh why are you so far away...I love you" those lines were said to me by the first girl I ever loved and she wrote them down on a piece of paper before I had to go back to England and leave her and I've just heard this song and i'm so happy! It's amazing! : ]
You are not alone xSupxElectrikx. Still manages to bring a tear to my eye after all those years, and i'm a grown man now. Something about that biguiling malody. Still sounds so fresh
do you mean the cure is emo??? for your knowledge the cure delevoped a new musical style...the cure is unique...theyre not indie...not alernative-..The cure is The Cure Style....
This is one of the best pop songs of the 20th century, & probably the only one to portray the relationship between the singer & his distant lover-fans in genuinely poetic terms. For my part, being a sentimental old queer, I always change the "she" & "girl" to "he" & "boy" - & then it makes me cry :)
when I listen to this song,I feel really happy:D Katie Melue's cover is good,too but it makes me sad when I listen to it,cause she mad it as a slow love song
As with all of Robert's other videos, I always loved how he would NEVER hardly look directly at you or into the camera, just looking around like he's thinking deeply
I'm only 14, but this has to be my favourite song ever, these guys are legends and one of the most influencial bands i know... i love the lyrics to this song :D
I was going to sing the dinosaur jr version of this song to a girl, still am, just havnt worked up the corage yet... i dont get it, i can play infront of tons of people yet i cant play infront of one girl that i like
oooooooh...r u serious...if he sounded like robert smith..how lucky were you cuz i am in love with his voice it takes me places no one elses songs can:D LONG LIVE ROBERT SMITH
can i ask a question?if my band plays this for a girl that i like do you think she'll go out with me? answers are open to anyone who cares to read this.P.S. this is one really great song.thanks for putting it on here
depends on the girl, and how good your band is, i´d say :D but a good idea is always worth a try. that song boosted my resolve while travelling for the first time to the girl who later became my wife ;)
Dude if i guy sang this song to me i would probly fall in love with him on the spot..its such a gorjez song reeli romantic too...robert is sooo sweeett he writes one of the best lyrics in music i rekon..
If you're already going to be playing something for her, then it's a possibility. If you're just gonna sneak attack her with a song, then it may freak her out. Also, be VERY SURE that you can actually SING the song. There are very few people who can actually sing. The rest only think they can sing because stupid people encourage them to keep at it.
Dude, if she isn't swooned then either your band is really bad or, she's not worth your time. No worthy lady could EVER resist a guy who's swooning her with The Cure. :)
