  • 9 people actually scared of spiders and good music ....hmmmm

  • long ago i was scared when watching this videclip

  • Sorry, I never stated that I had a relationship with the band. Or with any of the other bands that I worked with. Perhaps you should read what I wrote before making assumptions.

  • this is such a surreal song... it is so profound.. the violin is touching my soul...

  • 8 people are afraid of spiders.

  • Wish they had a comeback tour

  • I"m getting old but hearing this i suddenly return into time and return and return re an retu an ba back ag teru again and thr fores a forest bag akan Kortom, genieten van ouwelullenmiziek!!

  • I have been listening to this song ever since the 1980s and honestly I am a blonde because I never paid attention to the lyrics till now. I finally heard him say in the lyrics be still, be quite my precious boy or I will love you more; made me extreamly sad for him, if it was about him.

  • Brings me back to being 13 and reading comics in my room

  • this is such an erotic song

  • @lulusapples the song is about child abuse.. i hope you didnt know that.

  • @keyscott1 ok, i didn't know that...think the song is ruined for me now

  • @keyscott1 Where did you get your info from?. It has nothing to do with child abuse.I used to do band security for them. Well the last few times they came to Canada anyway. I even asked Robert Smith about this song. He told me it was about a very large spider that was found in his bedroom when he was a child.

  • @jonquil4000 You met and spoke with Mr. Robert Smith? Fuck man. Hes legend

  • @guitarg0d7007 Yes I have, he was a very nice guy!, The company I worked did alot of band security. Ive met Motorhead,Van Halen,AC DC,Kid Rock. I could go on!....

  • @jonquil4000 Of course I believe you, Internet man with unverifiable story. Of course you had the real scoop because of your ~relationship with the band.~

  • Somebody better fire the maid,look at all these damn cobwebs!!,,,,

  • @damien - Can not argue with that. Some pot, some Cure and other fun rooting things

    cure,beer,bongs,lover and stuff. Fabulous

    /romanus

  • @obsidian1008 well idk about all that, but i'm glad i'm not the only one who gets in the mood when they hear it.

  • a GREAT song to fuck to.

  • Is it just me or do this video and song have erotic undertones?

  • @ALXaccount It's actually about child abuse. Very dark song.

  • love it

    

  • well if you like the cure check out RITHE SHUN AWAY here on youtube please leave a comment

  • To be fair dyedinsoul, this is a music video. They're selling you an image so it is open to criticism. If it was entirely about the music, then they wouldn't have made a video or at least they wouldn't have been in it.

  • I have to admit, I live the longer remix version of this

  • I wore a Robert Smith T-shirt to school and kept getting asked why am I wearing a Edward Scissorhands t-shirt :P

  • Wake up! WAKE UP!!!!!

  • bitching .... close your eyes ... if you like what you hear, that's all that should matter !! all the stupid childish remarks regarding a bands/bandmember's look.

  • New wave old song love it.

    put your black clothes on and soap in your hair and dance in trance stoned like hell

  • weird video but i still love this song =D

  • creepy lol

  • this video reminds me of beatlejuice

  • great writer. awesome musician. I am not sure that the makeup ever did him any justice tho.

  • great song

  • This is my favorite Cure song

  • This song still sounds so great- The Cure is an awesome band

  • lol gothfather. never thought about that one :P

  • No, you are all wrong. I have personally met The Gothfather that is Smith whilst staying in London a couple years back. I asked him about this song. He said he wrote it about an opium trip in which he saw/felt these effects.

  • perfecto

    

  • una delle canzoni più belle della mia gioventù!!!!!!!! Grandi THE CURE!!!!

  • I am sorry for your abuse, I have been there but not my parents! We love you, your music is absolutely incredible! Stay sane and remember your loved by many!

  • Esse é "O Grupo"

    Delícia de música!!!

  • @333ikki, you have no idea what good music is. What do you listen to, Lady Gaga?

  • i'm pretty sure the song nightman in it's always sunny in philadelphia was based on this song

  • this song is about his father and the sexual abuse he encountered from him as a child. he's talked about it in several interviews

  • @xxitsmesarahxx confused with MM :)

  • Comment removed

  • At first i didnt understand what this song trully ment i always seemed to think it was a recurring nightmare, 333ikki that was a very well thought out interpretatoin of the meaning of the song. Thanks

  • Does this song remind anyone else of the giant spider in Two Towers that almost killed Frodo?

  • is it just me or does he just need to have scissor hands?

  • cool beat 

  • When I was younger, The Cure scared me. Now, I'd love to look like them!

  • @LamyaKR Me too!!!

  • eh big up to 333ikki people... man rape it is then

  • You know when you don't want a song to end...

    ...that.

  • always my best

  • i was that boy.

  • Robert has said at least three different things are the subject of this song, maybe he they're all true, maybe he keeps changing the meaning, maybe he's just fucking with us.

  • its about drug addiction.  robert smith talks about it in interviews.....he's decribing what its like to battle addiction and rattle off drugs

  • nice to know I am not the only one

  • Well, if you're a boy laying in bed with makeup on what else do you expect to happen?

  • nice to sing for the kids.......... grinnn 

  • one word "amazing"

  • such an awesome song, addictive just like mr smith himself.. so good even now and makes me realise why i like The XX so much, similar basslines & rifts.

  • This song is what it means to be an emo

  • @schef75 No. Cure is dark for adults, not emo fashion for kids.

  • @SousukeKassimSagara I agree.

  • @SousukeKassimSagara disagree

  • @12341298 Inform better about Cure. They're from 80s and considered dark for most of their music. They can't be emo because emo was not present those days, emo was born nowadays as only fashion and emo is not gothic.

  • @SousukeKassimSagara Absolutely INCORRECT. What is now called "emo" started in Washington DC in the late 80's with bands like Dag Nasty, Rites of Spring and Embrace. Back then it was called "emocore". Eventually, the name was shortened to "emo". It was a stupid title then and it's a stupid title now even though those DC bands were incredible.

  • @blaxmas1 I know what was emo in the past, I was talking about emo of today because the guy referred to the emo as intended today, which is just fashion for kids. anyway even the right emo of the past, as you described, has nothing to do with the dark style and this dark song, so I was ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

  • @blaxmas1 More like Husker Don't.

  • @SousukeKassimSagara . Of course! I agree with you

  • @SousukeKassimSagara you need to stop with the labels.. it really doesn't have an bearing in reality. labels and genres are there to make it easy for stupid people to quickly categorize things that shouldn't be categorized.

    Stop being controlled by your urge to generalize and slap labels on everything.

  • @schef75 I pretty much think your a dumbass. Anyway, LOVE this song its incredible, eerie and gothic, beautiful really.

  • @docbeetle I just made a joke about how phoney emos are... like it or not, you have no right to insult me. How do you call people who insult unknown people?

  • He wears lipstick because it's what they did in the 80's and 90's, and because it was his trademark, wearing makeup. So get over it, people.

  • y does he wear lipstick lol

  • yeah right

  • grody the end ewwwwwwww

  • and i'm not being rude @hardcoregamerlv but even though they did have campy style in them days most straight men dont wear lipsick...even for them times,just my opinion

  • i didnt listen to d cure but i LOVE dis song...wierd video though !!

  • so does alot of guys in their vids... wake up ...(makeup) , if anyone knows music today , they have been around since the early 70s.

  • looks like the joker

  • @NoHOPEchild The Joker looks like Robert...

  • Come into my parlor said the spider to the fly...

    Just learned the bass. So good.

  • is he gay??? because almost all of his music video he always putting lipstick and eyeliner

  • Comment removed

  • @MrNil3000 it was the style for that time dude

  • i have arachnaphobia and..OH SHIT

  • Lullaby was based on a recurring nightmare Robert had as a child where he was eaten by a giant spider :)

    Hauntingly addictive... luv it.

  • @JustaNavyWife that could be the way a childs imagination would interpret it (if it happened) spiders don't have arms tho!

  • To me,this song clearly is about a boy being raped...it narrates how the perpetraror (spiderman) visits him at night when everyone is asleep to "devour" him...and sadly this happens over and over again because the spiderman is always "hungry"...well this is my own interpretation..

  • @333ikki that makes a lot of sense! 

  • @333ikki it is a fact actually. He tells what has happened to him. He was abused as a child.

  • @333ikki HINT HINT......maybe you should concider theropy!!

  • @333ikki i think that you imagine too much, the cure are simple tho sing about complicated things, it's just another infant fear that most of us had

  • @333ikki lame

  • @333ikki I have been a fan of The Cure for over 20 years, and have thought this for years too. He all but says this in his lyrics. Apparently, he has talked in interviews of the secual abuse he sustained as a young boy at the hands of his father.

  • @333ikki My thoughts EXACTLY. And everyone told me I was crazy....

  • @333ikki

    I take it you never studied under Jung.

  • I know i've heard this somewhere before.... I just can't place where.. :/

  • @BuffyTohru me too, it could be from discovery channel, i have that feeling ...

  • @VeveVikingo Hrm....I seem to recall hearing it at a party or something...But it very well might be from discovery channel.... 8u

  • @BuffyTohru i'm pretty sure it is from some kind of tv show..damn

  • @VeveVikingo You're probably right. :3

  • This could be the best commercial for Wellbutrin 300 mg.

  • This video is really as goth as it get's. I'm not really a fan of the gimmicky makeup though... but this song is great.

  • very nice!

  • And the spiderman is always hungry...o homem estara sempre com fome...

  • Cara..não curto o The Cure..mas esta musica é uma das melhores que eu ouvi...Muiito bom o clipe....e bem sombrio...espero que o Spiderman não coma ele esta noite..kk

  • very similar to bigmouth strikes again by smiths

  • SHOW SEM PALAVRAS PARA DESCREVER ESSA BANDA MARVILHOSA......THE BEST
