The Cure - The Drowning Man

From their album "Faith"
I wanted to upload a video of The Cure on this account. :) I didn't see this one on here. It's one of my favorites!


Lyrics:
She stands twelve feet above the flood
She stares
Alone
Across the water

The loneliness grows and slowly
Fills her frozen body
Sliding downwards

One by one her senses die
The memories fade
And leave her eyes
Still seeing worlds that never were
And one by one the bright birds leave her...

Starting at the violent sound
She tries to turn
But final
Noiseless
Slips and strikes her soft dark head
The water bows
Receives her
And drowns her at its ease...

I would have left the world all bleeding
Could I only help you love
The fleeting shapes
So many years ago
So young and beautiful and brave

Everything was true
It couldn't be a story...
I wish it was all true
I wish it couldn't be a story

The words all left me
Lifeless
Hoping
Breathing like the drowning man

Oh Fucshia!
You leave me
Breathing like the drowning man
Breathing like the drowning man

Its a refreshing change to listen to them, there kinda like a Gus Vant Sant movie, they have the distinctive way about them that you love..Yes, the beat is pretty incredible, I could listen to it all day..super smooth song..

LOL man that guy looks like Red,so much..I like that!

@ohsuckitup2 - WOW, I do too! Everyone should see what The Cure were like.. their songs have really changed my life!

Oh Cool, I said the same, well that their music would have been so perfect for them dark movies, and indie movies would have been cool too. Some of their songs make me think of MOPI too.

Ok I think my favorite thing about The Cure's songs, are their beats...They are just so amazing. And omg I love all these pictures. You used a lot of their younger ones. So cute :) And cool too! This song is deep also. I love the lyrics. 1:22, hehe Rob has a Marilyn Monroe shirt on :D 1:47 is a great picture of them. I LOVE Simon's hair haha. Rob's too. Well thank you for uploading this. I really dig this song :)

@letmyloveopenthedoor - Cool. I always go for their lyrics, but I love how each song has a different riff, I really loved the sound they had with this album.. it was so sexy in a spooky way lol. Yeah.. since this song came out in 81, I wanted to use pics from the early 80s.. some are from 83 but I couldnt find as many from 81.

hehe, Ik, I love that pic, I want that shirt now! :)

[darkrebel09]

@andreagramser75 I can imagine all the feelings that brings back to you, it is really easy fall in love with Rob.

[darkrebel09]

@XFreeBird23X Yep, you are right, is really cööl the whole album =)

[andreagramser75]

@darkrebel09

This can bring tears to my eyes. I was so young, so pure and so in love with Robert Smith... Actually never recovered and I can listen to this song but I have to remember to breath...

@tobidroid @tobidroid So complex, turning on emotions and reason.

Follow up Friday with Drowning may show this, truly phenomenal with all their range.

I like Robert always, was that for attaining balance of sorts?
