@YourMomWaterworth No, Robert Smith's version sucks donkeys compared to this. You know how people say the original is the best and the sequel sucks? Well it the same here.
@TheEllyJackson There such thing as a 'real' fan. I aint a figment of your imagintation sunshine, I love the other version slightly more than this and I love Crystal Castles, guess I'm real, and I'm a fan. JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER FUCKER.
@TheEllyJackson Alice's voice is in the Robert Smith version too, 'cept it's just for one verse. Personally I think her vocals stand out and make more of an impact when contrasted with Smith's, but that's just me.
Both versions are amazing they make you just wanna think about your life and escape the sadness and torment in it. Makes you want to find that someone that shows you the truth of love and happiness
i hate when people are like " ETC Brought me here " its annoying, i dont care who the fuck brought you here as long as your listening to amazing music thats all that matters
Love Alice Glass' haunting vocals. btw does anyone know if theres a new album/single coming out soon? its been a while. I can't complain though considering all the live shows they do. They can't have much time for new material...
LOLOL i love how many negative comments i've gotten. Lrn2countertroll guys, cmon. I know youtube is famous for idiotic arguments, but let's not perpetuate the stereotype.
Personaly, I dont like The Cure. This version of Not in Love is much better than their re-cover imo.
Opinions: something youtube comment threads will never understand.
I'm so glad the first time I ever heard this song I was on shrooms. It was like a magical zero g experience. At 2:50 what was left of my already melted brain became a beautiful explosion of color and pure emotion.
I really hate when people do this... but I did an acoustic cover to this and would love your guys feedback/ for someone to hear it. Please check it out and let me know what you think; Thanks in advance guys! /watch?v=3_UkoGGmMTM.
The problem with going mainstream is that the record company soon decides to start pulling the strings. I don't blame them! If I had a cash cow, I would milk it dry, taste be damned!
Alice Glass would smack all of you for arguing about Crystal Castles being "mainstream." If you hadn't noticed they sell out shows all over the world and couldn't give a fuck. They're the first to admit that their success was a complete accident. Ethan Kath uploaded Alice Practice on myspace and was contacted with a record deal 6 months later. Alice was out getting high in the streets, had no contact with Ethan and had no idea that their shit blew up. Neither of them even like electronic music
@RianHeartattack you could just like what you like, and let other people like what they like too... and... if it goes mainstream, you could be happy for the success of artists you enjoy. :P
@RianHeartattack all mainstream means is that the artist is having their dream come true: their music is being heard and appreciated by a majority and they are actually making a living off of their talent. the only time i would be angry over an artist i like going mainstream is if they went off the fucking wall like justin bieber
@RianHeartattack why? does it make you feel special to like someone who nobody else likes?? it doesn't make you better than anyone to like bands nobody does, that's week.... i know 'cause i used to have that same pathetic attitude not long ago.
PS: i still like "non mainstream" bands, i'm not proud about that any more and i enjoy when the bands i like succeed
I listened to this one first many many times.... Then found the robert smith one 1 song ago........ the robert smith one was a joke like literally i thought it was a joke!!!! this is how this song needs to be crystal castles knows wtf their doing.
I bet Platinum Blonde is happy to get a re-birth of there classic song. A royalty cheque is always good for a 80's band. Nice cover though , R.Smiths is real good also. unusual to hear him sing someonelses lyrics though..
Now, I've been a fan of The Cure my whole life (parents listen to it) and I think Robert Smith sounds soooo emo & whiny.... But this sounds like a chipmunk!! Wtf lol! This isn't singing... But this voice definitely matches the music a lot better.
I hate how when I search for this song the Robert Smith version comes up. It sounds emo and just...stupid. I like listening to people who can actually sing, not talk through their songs sounding like their about to break down crying.

I heard they dropped him because he took too much of the limelight, which is understandable given his standing in the alternative music world.
