  • I love this song, real and sad.

  • love should always win

  • Thank you for posting this. One of my absolute favorites. Btw,- you mentioned all three of my most favorite Cure albums in the info section. I have always felt the emotion of those three albums was very much in the same vein. <3

  • crazy how love pain can make u do such crazy things.. funny how sumthing thats not physical can hurt soo much

  • seriously, the amount of the sadness taht this fucking song produces.. its just over the mind..i couldnt have said the phrase ," how did we get this far apart? we used to be so close together how did we get this far apart? i thought this love would last forever "..its just all about love..

    and seriously.. after her i became a whore..

    she was the last true love of my life..so we are going to be apart forever more..

    love never wins... sorry good guy

  • Mesmerizing..... sad..... true.

  • This is such a beautiful song & robert smith has such a way with words :)

  • An extraordinary, amazing and pure song!!!

    You can listen it everytime, doesn't matter how you feel, powerful sensations that our mind & heart receives, stupendous lyrics...

    Love it!

    Cure & Robert 4ever

  • It's amazing how so many people can sympathize with this song from a scene in their lives, but when you feel like this you just feel so alone!

    This song literaly describes my life in the past 3 weeks. And even though I know other people have felt the same I feel like no one knows how bad it hurts...

  • arghh, its almost 18 years since they release this song... still as wonderful as ever, thanks robert

  • There was another single they put out that year on casette I cant remember what it was but they werent on the wish album, anyone know what im talking about?

  • @wilhelm1974 It was called 'Lost Wishes', containing four songs from an aborted instrumental album recorded in 1991. It was available on mailorder only, but will probably crop up on the Deluxe Edition of 'Wish' ... or at least it had better ... no more crappy home demos please Robert! Grrrr ... BTW This is the song that got me into The Cure. I used to write all these flowery ornate lyrics then heard Robert sing, "How did we get this far apart, we used to be so close together" ... and flipped ...

  • @Grimblicious Must be a different song because i bought it on casette I cant remember the single but it was a great song...

  • This one is far too sincere to be just a song. To be frank, most of The Cure is fairly honest but there was no motive with this one outside of expression as what my ears tell me. There's songs that just rip you because they're so down like 'Cold' but you'd have to intentionally reach into the intestines of your soul to produce it. This one was just 'get your instruments, I have something to say'. This is music is my kind of cigarette.

  • I never heard this song before now. Its a damn good song. Thanks for posting.

  • Hey Karla Anne, does this song at all appropriate how you feel?

  • One Of The Most Beautiful Songs Ever Made By an English Writer/Band-Unique,Amazing-A Complete Master-Peace !!!

    What Do You Think About The Song Trust Made By Them?

  • brilliant isn't it?

  • I used to listen to this album on replay over and over again and wallow deliciously in my teenaged angst. Good times.

  • Life's a funny old thing. I remember hearing this song & album when it first came out years ago. now it has a little more resonance for me.

  • I've first listen to this song at the happiest moment I ever lived. And it made this time even more beautiful, making me feel that the pain expressed in this song was far behind me, I had faith in never breathing like the drowning man again...

    But when I listen to this now, late at night looking through the open window, I feel that this pure and absolute perfection can not be reached again.

  • my favorite song from the Wish album:) simply amazing!

  • This is still one of my favourite albums. The Cure all the way.

  • nagyon szuper!!!

  • I just don't understand why some people are surprised i like the cure...

  • @Lia1992M i completely agree

  • amazing song

  • You can hear the ending of something as it crashes to the ground like a flying porcelain plate. I'm sure you can also hear the sound of something great beginning. That's what makes The Cure great. Look into a crowd of people and picture who wants to be true and who wants to be diseased......it's so hard to TRUST....another great song off of the album.

  • yeah, so we're all floating around in this crazy world and where should we go from here? what should we do from now? no one ever can tell...

    and no one ever can know...

    justy let it be... now...

    just let it all go... and fade... away...

  • I just downloaded this mp3 at mp3iifffy. Check that site out - its sick.  Google mp3iifffy

  • 93 paris version is better than the original if you ask me!

    this song just gives me the chills when it pops up

  • awesome lyrics and music, robert smith puttin it down

  • I think of this song so differently and heart felt following kyliepf's posting.

  • how so? I feel sorry for children who become sick but i cant stand when ppl feel it was for a

    Greater" cause. God doesn't exist and that's ok, Science cures all.

  • this is my baby's song.. his name was jerome bevan david slavin.. i miss him so much..i want to howl like a wolf when i hear this...ouch ouch ouch

  • Why did god take him from you? god is such a prick.

  • i think its just the price we pay for being alive and i'm okay with it now.. still makes me want to howl though..Oh shit "he won't call anymore" have to howl some more now...

  • @portalz While I would probably agree that god is a "prick" I don't understand when atheists say derogatory things about a god they don't believe in. Now everyone will flame me horrendously for talking about god's existence in a "the cure" video. whatever.

  • This is a "healing song"...went through a divorce listening to this song over and over.

  • It fuckin' tears one apart...so beautiful, so true...so bloody human!

  • This song literally sent chills through my whole body

  • Me too, every time.

  • how did we get this far apart?

    we used to be so close together

    how did we get this far apart?

    i thought this love would last forever

    sounds just like my husband and i....so sad

  • i guess there`s no lovesong that is deeper than this...beautiful

  • original version <3

    the paris '93 version sounds.. incredible

  • One of the only songs in the world I have a hard time listening to. It grabs you by the heart and flies away.

  • Between the wine and bread.. i felt the need to find peace...... none came and the ark was a total loss........ you are welcome Zomie. This song is both strength and sorrow. most is just the good vist from our past childhood loves..

  • wow, thanks for posting. like old times, but now has a new ring to it.... love has gone.

  • God I fucking love this song.

  • Adoro-te Margarida!!!

  • Perfect break up song or just wallow in misery song...and I am 45

  • i am 13 and i love the cure

  • sad

  • one of my favourite songs of the cure

  • the wish album seems to be alot like disintegration...not that its something bad. its rather really nice. Disintegration = one of my favorite albums of all time!

  • thanks robert for tearing open old wounds

    but i cant blame him, without his writing talent i wouldn't be the person i am now

  • great song yeah :)

  • woah i just had a jr high flashback listening to this song. ever had a memory so painful that you repressed it all these years and unintentionally banished all the secondary memories along with it - like the songs you listened to at the time?

  • it hurts, a lot.

  • the ecstasy of pain--that's what this song means to me. this song makes you feel a kind of acute pain, the pain of regret. pain because you've lost something you'll never get back. your chance is over, and it's all ruined. it is a kind of dark despair. i always want to hear this song in utter darkness, with pouring rain, a glass of merlot, burning incense, and tears. it sounds over the top, but i mean it

  • excellent review of this song

  • @ModernitySlays

    I'll bring the wine and the rain

  • @ModernitySlays wow that comment was amazing..

  • @ModernitySlays have you read my mind? over the top tooooooo wowwww

  • he waits for her to sympathize but she won't sympathize at all he waits all night to feel his kiss but always wakes alone he waits to hear her say forget but she just hangs her head in pain and prays to hear him say no more i'll never leave again how did we get this far apart? we used to be so close together how did we get this far apart? i thought this love would last forever
  • he waits for her to understand

    but she won't understand at all

    he waits all night for her to call

  • Include this twilight garden, a foolish arrangement, and halo. Then drop wendy time, end, and open, then you have the best cure album.

  • Aha, pozdrawiam polskich fanów, wiem że jest ich wielu ;)

  • every time but really everytime i cry...

  • My favorite Cure's song. :) Wonderful...

  • There's songs no video could possibly enhance. Here is one.

  • Great song but where is a good video for it someone make a good one for it and do this beautiful sad song its justice

  • whispers...really good!

    I love this song.

  • OMG i never listen this song !

    is absolutly fantastic!

    the robert's voice is sensual and very emotional..

    the cure are the best band of the universe

    i love them

  • I agree. Roberts voice is so tender and emotional. It is like he is playing all my strings.. I cry and think about lost love.. R S ur in my heart forever..

  • this song just makes people oh so emotional, which proves how good this song really is

    the cure rocks man....

  • "she prays for him to say 'i love you' but he tells no more lies..."

    i love that line :)

  • la mejor cancion de the cure

  • Gosh, I'm in love with this song. It's just so freakin beautiful <3

  • and preys to hear him say i love you but he tells no more lies...

    she waits all night to call but he wont call anymore...

    The most most beautiful song that cure has ever made... melancholical but ohhhh so beautiful...

  • i have never heard a song that truly spells out how I've felt

    wow

    always gotta love the cure

  • This song so full of melencholy and woe...To me it goes back to The Cure's earlier album Faith which had a lot of songs more like this than Pornongraphy which is in my opinion more about anger than sorrow.

  • I love this song! The whisper in the background sends shivers down my spine everytime I listen to it. Pure MAGIC!

  • Any word can't express how beautiful this song is.

  • perfect song!

  • perfect song. I cry every single time I hear it.

  • I agree,me too =(

  • kafam güzel, daha da beter oldum.....

    biri beni sımsıkı tutsun :'(

  • this is a wonderful song, doesnt get any better than this song, so sad, yet so beautfiul.

  • i feel this is the last great album by the cure

  • Not just is it their last great album, but it's their greatest album.

  • PORNOGRAPHY

  • I agree, been a fan since '85. this is their last "good" record.

  • Beautiful song. My boyfriend sent me this when we temporarily broke up. Still, one of my favourite songs

  • I've come to the conclusion that seeing as how the cure - the wish album has a couple songs that are similar as to the subject, I think the lead singer went through something like what the song is about. He imo, is one of the most talented ppl at portraying his emotions through his music

  • je öffter ich mir das Lied anhöre umso mehr gefällt es mir :)

  • Ahhh, I love this song sooo much.<3

  • How does one right something so profoundly sad? it utter astonishing

  • so sad and simple and beautiful, better than any music these days. cure forever

  • This song just rox!

  • I listen to this song when my husband and I are fighting. We used to be best friends. We used to be so close...but now its like living in a deep freezer.

  • This whole album, and one from the smashing pumpkins got me through a two year really rough time in my life. I love The Cure, and The Pumpkins!

  • I love this Song!

  • This song almost made me cry. Cheer!

  • :(((((((((((((

  • Katarina I love you...

  • He waits to hear her say "forgive"

    But she just drops her pearl-black eyes,

    and prays to hear him say "I love you"

    But he tells no more lies

    :'(

  • I know! Saddest line in history....

  • just beautifull

  • this song is really hard to listen to, but damn is it good.

  • this is a realy good album , i listen to it every time i drive somewhere

  • quisiera saber la traduccion de esta cancion o en que pagina la puedo encontrar

  • awesome i just re-discovered this one remember me such as very good moment when i buy the single years(ages) ago thx

  • cool video i love it

  • wow

  • What a song !!!! I always cry when i hear thats why i havent done so 3 years now...Wow!

  • RObeeRt SmitH I Will always love you!

  • how many times do we fall in love? this is between a man and a woman expecting things to workout in their relationship but it didn't.

  • Sadly, this album wasn't received as well by critics when it was released, but I'm glad to see there are more people who've come to appreciate it. This piece always made me think of "Like Cockatoos" off Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me. "Apart" is beautiful.

  • who cares about the critics

  • I didn't, which was why I bought the album back then. It's just nice to see it get some appreciation.

  • This is so freacking depressing, but i LOVE it!

  • I think this song is about death. He is gone, and can't come back. He still cares about her but there is nothing he can do from the otherside. She wants to die too. He can't call anymore. He just wants her to make it thru and go on without him. I know from experience I found my husband 3o yrs old. Dead due to natural causes, and we never knew he was sick. I can never get back to him now. Its been close to 6 years since I could handle listening to the cure again without wanting to die.

  • I think the song is helping you deal with the grief. I hope you are ok and good luck for the future. Robert Smith is irresistible when writing like this. Just awesome.

  • I am starting to do better. Thanks for asking. I do love this song. I am glad I am able to listen to Robert Smith again!

  • the cure always makes me feel happy when im sad, the first time i ever listend to them when was my my older brother left for college, it was in his cd player, i creid all night listeng to the album over and over

  • Ira where are you?

  • 4 mihai..

  • I lost the count of how many times I've cried to this song, it so depressing, but you can't stop listening to it. One the best songs ever.

    Bittersweet magic, only The Cure can make something beautiful as this.

  • yup fireball same vibe with bloodflowers record

  • Stupenda... sta canzone devo averla ascoltata e riascoltata durante il viaggio in treno napoli torino almeno 27 volte..mi ricorda la costa ligure dove ci sono quelle feritoie nel tunnel e si continua a vedere il mare,il mare che luccica.

  • Questa non è solo una canzone ...è una sinfonia...tocchi di arte pura e un sottofondo lirico struggente che fa ben comprendere ... la grandezza dei Cure.....

  • "She just drops her pearl black eyes..." Awesome song!! Awesome lyrics!!

  • I got into the cure when I was about 12; Due to an older friend constantly getting me stoned and putting on their albums...This for me is the cure at their best...Meloncholy and darkness at its most beautiful!!

  • One question, hoe you mean, this goed back to the pornography and disintegration album.

    In my humble opinion this song is one asset of the Cure, made clear through a lot of albums.

    Wish reminds me of the dual aspect of the Cure.

    Colourful and grey...

    What are your opinions?

    regards, Keimpe

  • I see what you mean and you're right. "Wish" has some "colourful and grey" tracks. But I was pointing to the depressing and dark mode in the style of Pornography and Disintegration. This song has these characteristics and I think it's the only one that shows them precisely than the other songs of the "Wish" Album.

  • Abisso di bellezza!

  • magnifica.......
