  • Balls out of the bath, this is a fucking mental tune....

  • The Cure is beyound any voice and sound with this incredible song, only emotion and deep feelings come above with this masterpiece, it could'nt never done better and never be imitated by anyone, Robert and band, more then thanks

  • Live... This is amazing... Way back to Way...

    Would pay 1000 Microsoft Points to play on Guitar Hero..... NOW!!

    The closest I will ever get... Almost a millions miles away...

  • melodic poetry. in my pinion this song is one of roberts best work. and the way the band put the music togheter is just perfct harmony brngs me memories of days gone by. reminds me hw lng I've cried 4 her, up to this day i wake up at the sound of dawn just to go with her. I wonder if they ever made a video for this song, nt that it needs one but just a thougth

  • This song just takes me to another place! It's the music itself that simply puts me in a trance every time I hear it!! Just listen and u will see if u are a true music connoisseur.

  • Amazing!

    Love It

  • Seriously, this song is just perfect

  • 7:00 and the rest always make me sad

  • Just perfect ! 

  • What must have Robert gone through the day he wrote this song? If he can write lyrics like this just out of the blue then he is truly a genius.

    All my life I have dreamed of writing one song. A song I could play in front of an audience. In front of my friends. My family. And make them cry and make me cry.

    I have no idea how or why I have had this dream but I have had it since I was a child.

    If only it could have been this song. My life would be complete.

  • @RestingMyChemistry

    he has an incredible imagination.

  • @RestingMyChemistry that is, by faaaaarrr, the most, um, beautiful post to a video on YouTube, or anywhere, that i have ever seen.

  • When Robert says "put your hands in the sky" at 2:29 and then shortly thereafter the guitar riff changes at 2:46 . That little ~30 second segment of music is possibly the most beautiful, most emotional, sad, heart wrenching , everything moment ever composed in any genre of music. I used to listen to that segment of the song over and over and over.

    It's not my favorite but this song could possibly be the greatest song the Cure has ever written.

  • More than 15 years later and this song still puts a choking hold around my chest.

  • And it never gets old.

  • What a song to listen to when you break up with your girlfriend then find someone else but you still are heart broken from your previous girl. And I was at the ocean with the new girl but I felt so sad and tried to hide it.

  • "...slips her dress like a flag to the floor, hands to the sky - surrenders it all." Brilliant! Love the cure, and this song still chokes me up everytime I hear it. I've never been so colorfully see-through-head before.

  • just spilt up with my girlfreind she has got someone else the cure always help me in seperations i am 37 now and they are better than any shrink

  • and their record label said the were not going to release this album or Disintegration becuase they were shit. This song by itself could be on a cd, tracks 1-12 and it would STILL be great, even better than most music today.

  • art at its most inspirational and emotional form.

  • one of the greatest songs ever written, Rob smith is a god like genius!!!!!

  • This kind of music is pure genius!

  • Listening to this song during summer time and 'apart' in autumn makes memories even more intense.

  • There is so much emotion in Robert's voice! This album is one of the best ever made, "Open" is one other BIG favorite!

  • this is a truly Amazing song and on the Wish live it's even better

  • omg this album is amazing

  • This song makes my leave my body and fly...i just close my eyes and let it wash over me

  • What a powerful song, absolutely awesome! i like the whole wish-record, it's a perfect mixture of the old new-wave-scene and rock. genius! the cure - simply a legend.

  • I have always absolutely loved this song!! The music in this song is just filled with so many emotions. You cant put your finger on just one but you can feel them all!! The Cure is just truly an awesome and amazing band who have so stood the test of time!! I have loved them for 27 years now and I know it will continue on through my lifetime! Robert is a poetic genius hands down and he is absolutely amazing in all aspects! I love it all! The Cure forever!!

  • Many, many thanks for posting this song;another part of The Cure's great and amazing treasures of music! I love to see how many people appreciate them,keep on,please!

  • Every time I hear this song, it's like I die and I'm reborn! God, I love this song, it is 'speaking to me'!

  • simply perfect!!!

  • In according to you, could i listen to this in entire, i always faint at 05.00 , After my body freeze during the 4th minute !

  • Hands in the sky for miles and miles.... Please stay...

    How come this aint number one every week...?

    Guitar Hero 6 roll on..

    Thanks for the post...

  • This song is freakin' amazing ! Robert Smith's song writing is brilliant beyond compare. He is a true artist in every sense of the word. Words cannot convey how much I love this song. The only person that even comes close in talent is Morrissey IMO.

  • cure fan since i was 6 . brilliant .

  • @rockabellaaah lol me too well i think since i was born basically my dad lisented to them and i'm not that old and when i was like 5 my aunt was doing my makeup and my bro wanted some and she was like boys dont where make up and i said robert smith wheres make up and she was like who the hell is robert smith and i was all like the cure duh!

  • This was my very first CD hahahaha, WISH FTW!!!

  • best 7 minutes and 45 seconds ever spent in my life

  • THE CURE,vi amoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooo!

  • beautiful.. brilliant... no more to say!

  • Cure fan since 1982.

    Heard it all, have it all (well, almost).

    This is arguably one of Robert Smith's best efforts.

    Only he can write seemingly upbeat music that actually matches the pure melancholy of the words.

    "Why do you cry? What did I say? But it's just rain, I smile... brushing my tears away."

    Genius.

  • @squeegeedee You nailed it!I couldn't agree more!

  • @SHOEGAZEFAN73 Thanks for that comment!

    The Cure has quite a few amazing-yet-little-known tracks throughout their discography.

    Even many so called "lifelong fans" only know the popular cuts that were on the radio, and are unaware of the may "hidden gems" they have recorded over the last 30 years.

  • There is no Time.

    When you listen to this, and absorb the genius, all dimensions of space just melt together.

  • epic song! I love the cure

    Wish and Disintegration are glorious albums

  • So much emotion poured into this song...It's so beautiful.  So perfect.

  • Where was this song hiding!!! AMAZING!!!

  • in my opinion this song and "open" are the only good songs on wish, i just dont like the poppier version of the cure

  • Emo?THIS IS NOT EMO.

  • Wish is the only Cure album I've listened to, beginning to end with b-sides included, in one sitting, more times than I can even remember. Simply beautiful and amazing.

  • When they played this live, it was maybe 3 notes into it and I started bawling. I love this band and this song so, so much. Lots of special thoughts and memories and even more to come i'm sure. This is one of the main songs I find I want to describe to people when I talk about The Cure. So much beautiful emotion.

  • Happy Birthday Mr Smith!!

  • i played the song too much. i actually broke the tape when i was a teenager hahahahahehehehe

  • ...............

  • Yep i saw them in Brisbane Australia in 1992, poetry in motion. Then myself and 6 mates travelled 1200kms to see them on their bloodflowers tour two nights running. (its a big country) twas worth it.

  • @stevewahful Lucky guy : )

  • I love this song is really owesome!

  • pokey?

  • This song makes me want to scream my lungs out, singing along with it, and dance like a madman. Love it ♥

  • supergood album. rollercoaster

  • fuckin deep kingness shit !!!!!!!!! =)

  • masterpiece ....

    and all you wannabees fuck off

  • I love this song, it means soooo much to me...

  • Saw them perform this live in Dallas in the early 90's. This song will always haunt me.

  • gotta love the cure.

  • this one is very special. i remember...1994..my brother died in '91...he used to listen to the cure. i gave it a try (as a 14 year old boy back then)....and this album belongs to the soundtrack of my life. so much emotion...so much tragedy...love the cure forever.

  • good song

  • @Vermin80 Sorry to hear that dude.

  • @Vermin80 WOW !! THE CURE IS THE BEST !! LOVE ROBERT SMITH 4 EVER

  • @Vermin80

    wow....i agree. ridiculous song. the songwriting is first-class. and i hope you listen to this band for the rest of your life. may your brother r.i.p.

  • @Vermin80 so sorry

  • @Vermin80 im sorry bout ur brother music is the best cure

  • don't u feel that u can compare every the cure's song with very important times in your life? I do!

  • i do it, too.....

  • @LadyCureNob89 Cure's music has been the sound track of my life, I know exactly what you mean. This album for example was the sound track for my divorce. This concert was the last time me and my ex went out together. She wasn't a Cure fan thou.

  • this song is about having an addiction to someone who is not right for you. And you know it, but just can't stop, because they do something for you in the moment. When you know you need to stop, because they break your heart over and over and over, but you can't. Because this person is like a drug.

  • u'r absolutely right..

    i should stop giving a fuck about her

    all she does is lie to me & care for someone else

  • i always thought it was a ghost story about two lovers. that.. someone who was tired and wanted the ghost to leave already.. but then the ghost doesn't let him go.

    or the ghost was tired of the guy holding on... and wanted to leave already.. i don't know, just my misinterpretation of the song..

  • You almost wrote Wuthering Heights. :)

  • and also could be that you're with someone, but you're in love with sb's else, at the same time u don't want to break the person who's with you's heart....

  • @kameno23 Absolutely. It's about true love that is not reciprocated. It doesn't stop, it just hides inside, blocking anyone else who tries to get close. It's not a bad feeling really, unless you push it and share it with them and they knock you back.....then it just grows again. No regrets for ever feeling this way...it's about having soul hey? :)

    Thank you for inspiring me to write this :)

  • @Alwaystheshyones hey :)

    ...as for the feeling..i don't know wether is bad or good.

    I've been there, done that and now I'm just...you know.. numb?

    My love for this person was pure and strong. It still is. In a different way.It still hurts thought....

    You know, I believe that there isnt such thing as "forever" when it comes to feelings. (those kind of feelings)

    You can ALWAYS "feel" about someone, but the "feeling" won't be the same. It get stronger, it changes to bad, or good. It depends...

  • @Alwaystheshyones ..I dont know if you understand the meaning of what I'm trying to say here.. (this is not my mother lanquage:P )

    A feeling like that... even the memory of it can hunt you forever.

    What can you do? you just wait till someone is "strong" enought to heal you... or wait till you gain the power to heal yourself :)

  • The Cure ..

    ...are the only cure for my heart, my soul, my thoughts, loneliness and my mind!

    I feel so often that some songs were written just for me...!

    just Cure... me...

  • epic!

  • Totally reminds me of a specific time in my life.....love when songs do that!

  • what does not kill u,makes u stronger-my friend Nietzsche!

  • at 2:48 I feel I dive in the deep green see

  • at the very end.... it almost sounds like a great splash...

  • this is one of fav songs of The Cure..it's so f*** great!

  • i can feel with you

    this album is the best with the head on the door

    love forever

  • I Love U Robert.

  • In what way is Wish underrated, not only is it their best selling album so far as i now and in my book it is one of their best albums along with Pornography and Bloodflowers and a lot of long term cure fans agree.

  • Interesting you rate Bloodflowers and Wish higher than Disintegration. I guess when a band can produce so many quality albums over so many years there is always going to be differing views.

  • @ashgem9

    Hi ashgem, Disintegration IS my number one cure album, as soon as i saw my comment i wondered what i was doing omitting it. A slip of the tongue maybe, my first three in order would be Disintegration, Wish and Pornography. How about you? Been a fan since before Pornography.

  • Hey companybum,

    Definitely a tough gig trying to rank them but Disintegration is my number 1 and then in no particular order and purely depending on the mood I'm in it would be Pornography, The head on the door, Wish and Faith. Unfortunately I was only 8 when Pornography was released but have been a massive fan since high school and love seeing them live!

  • i always thought this song was beautiful...it reminds me of a 7thgrade crush. WISH was and still is #1 2 me

  • me too, a crush, near the time this album came out :)

  • Most underated of all the cure albums, and yet the one I always go back to. Beautiful guitars, and bob smith on top crying with them. Always reminds me of Cork for some reason, the edge of the deep green sea (The river lee).

  • maravillosaaaaaaaaaa

  • fantastic, this is what i use to listen to at work in 1993 on my walkman lol, thoroughly depressed wondering how come i ended up in such a shit job.

    if ever there was a song for making u feel suicidal this is it...outstanding

    Wish is an underrated album

  • Wish isnt underrated at all my friend...

    Every Cure fan that respects himself knows that wish is on the top 5 best records of The Cure...

    After all ,its the 90s...

    How much better can it get

    ---The Cure / Wish / the 90s---...

    Lovely...

    Bless Robert Smith

  • yea, this an Fade to Black by metallica are both good suicide songs

  • oh Mr. Smith i have and would listiing to this song "one hundrend millions days" and I will be here forever and never say say goodbye to you!!

  • One of the most amazingly emotional songs of their career. There is such a palpable feeling of longing and despair. Really explores the boundaries of love. And the way that the lyrics are written from both of the lovers perspectives is so powerful. What a heartbreaking song.

  • reallllllly beautiful on wich album is this?

    then i can buy it tomorrow

  • the album is titled "Wish"

  • I checked out your profile. U R pretty.

  • if only today's emo was at least one thousandth as great as this...

  • @fantazjusz33 Don't ever call the cure emo again :)

  • @MrTKgames: I know, I know... but it's such a shame... emo was started by such great bands: Sunny Day Real Estate, Smashing Pumpkins, Cure... and it turned into utter shit

  • Comment removed

  • @fantazjusz33 Just for your information The cure has never been nor ever will be considered emo . Emo is lame and corporate bullshit!

  • @metrocide Don't get carried away by tags which media are trying to label bands with. It depends on the definition: for some, emo is what Wikipedia defines it to be, for others (like me), it's just emotional music, played by some great bands, like I said before: Sunny Day Real Estate, Smashing Pumpkins... I only said I wish music like that was made nowadays.

  • is it possible that the cure make a new lp powerful like wish?

  • this song is BEAUTIFUL

    the cure make such amazing music

    i cryed tghe frist time i herd it

  • Lonely

  • why do you cry, what did i say, but it's just rain i say, brushing my tears away... what an truly amazing, sad song. i'm sure everyone can relate to this in some way or other.

  • Songs like this are what make music a form of art.

  • Such emotional complexity in such simplicity. Robert Smith know damn well how to convey such deep raw and true emotion with such simple yet deep lyrics.

    Nobody comes close." never never never let me go she says"-such a simple lyric but the desperation is shown so easily, you can just feel the pain, and he doesn't even try. What a beautiful man. completely original.
