A Forest is a masterpiece
Indeed
Yes, but for me personally they'll never play it as unique as when I first saw them in 1981
Yes it is.
Perfectly stated !
Agreed but I like lullaby and closer more
This song is portal to another dimensions
Ye, the woods.
We dont know eachother, we are all strangers, but somehow, we all have this band in common, as the soundtrack of our youth. How cool is that!
♥️
beautifully said 🖤
Hai ragione, fa star bene...
Best comment i ve read about the cure
They were great live
at 60 Robert has the same voice he had back then , pretty amazing.
Yas totally and thats absoluetly amazing and incredible ! I noticed that! His voice never change
@@osirisb221 He doesn't smoke and probably doesn't drink to excess which would help. Damage done earlier in life tends to show as the decades roll by.
Yes!!! Simply Red is another whose voice has held up after all the years.
He's not exactly screaming he's guts out like Robert plant or Rob Halford..
I'm no fan boy (but I am a pretty big fan, for nearly 35 years now), and Hyde Park 2018 was simply great. Every song was played and sung so clearly x
He may not look young anymore but he definitely still sounds it!
I was gonna say the same thing he sounds exactly the same!!!
His voice has aged really well- saw them in Glasgow last year and Robert Smith sounded brand new, especially considering how they play for 3 hours every night
angel voice. never dies.
Yes! The best🙏☝👍❤
I don’t mind him being old, that happens to us all, I mind that his cosmetics make him look like the mad cat woman at the end of our road.
No one in the world sounds like Robert Smith.. he has one of the most unique voices that was ever heard in music.. And it's still amazing
Even though he's singing a lower register on this one when you listen to his other stuff he still sounds like you did when he was young... That is rare
Not just in his singing, but his writing as well. I would say he is the best overall song writer since 1940. Better than Lennon and McCartney.
Simon gallup's bass ft. The cure - a forest
😎
Simon paid off the sound guy.
This is the most appropriate comment about The Cure I have ever read.
Generally in goth rock the bass guitar is the loudest instrument.
Simon Gallup, one of Cure' signature...lead bass.
The CURE rocks!!! I was there with my son! I'm 72 and he's 38. This band is timeless and Smith is one of rocks best writers and musicians. Cant wait to see them again.
That’s so awesome dude!
Lucky guys....
Totally agree...his voice is the same as it was in the early 80s....long live the CURE....
@@nickhybner8485 back atcha brother. We have seen them 3xs together starting with the Wish tour. Beatles Stones Cure!
Very cool!
Think about it, it was forty years ago. Forty years ago this song came out.
Robert honestly doesn’t sound any different singing it at sixty years old than he did when he was twenty.
This is quite an accomplishment.
I know I can’t do anything as good as I could when this song came out. I loved it as much then as I do now.
Awesome time to be alive. Then and now.
And to think I haven't seen them since the Wish tour in 92 and they're smashing it harder (apart from the lame ending on this one) than they did then!
Reading your second to last sentence, I do understand more clearly now why your wife left you
I do a lot of things better today, than at 20. But I’m still a horrible singer. 😆
it seems like it could have been made yesterday A Forest is a timeless song
The moment Simon Gallup scratches his bass it was done. A msterpiece from The Cure
as melodic as their works are, when playing live they have a "lead drum & lead bass" sound
Disintegration is one of the greatest albums of all time.
Oui !!! Le meilleur album 👍
I was there that night. Everyone was great, BUT The Cure lit it up. They had everyone up out of their seats and dancing. It was the best night!!!
They create masterpieces. Never heard a Cure song that wasn’t amazing
Naaaa, this is it kind of boring song.
@@rmmmm4653 for that era, post punk scene. This song is relevant
For example this one.
The heaven one wasn’t that shit hot, was pretty mediocre
They have a lot of realy shitty song, A LOT.
You can tell Robert feels everything that he writes and plays. He is the absolute best. There will never be another Robert or another band like the cure. I will be so heartbroken when they are not with us one day :(
But their music will live on and on.
So right sister. I often think the the same thing.
Don't even talk to me about that
I feel exactly the same...
That's for sure, make sure u get the next generation to listen to to it in the car car or something so they can have a good understanding of the music n pass it on n so n so on. 💐🇨🇮🎵🎶🎵🎧
Your the absolute best
The whole Seventeen Seconds album is such a masterpiece.
My fav.
his voice hasn't changed all these yearssss... 🖤
Its the same how in 1990👋👋👋👍
I was lucky enough to be there to see this in person. THE CURE were amazing. They stole the show!!
Lucky you
I just wrote basically the same thing on the "Shake Dog Shake" video. They were brilliant!
Except that Def Leppard was better.
@@rooh5825 it's like orange and apple, none is better than the other. It's all about taste and preference
@@rooh5825 Hahahahahahahahahahaha
People we're getting up and leaving during Def Leppard. Because they suck. And The Cure are the best live band out there.
I love how the bass is so forward in this performance.
That's the Cure way.
Simon Gallup is the Cure’s secret weapon. His bass lines are recognizable and iconic.
Snaredrum sounds like s***t.
I'm 62 and this by far, is one of my favorite bands. You do not see groups like this on today's Grammy shows anymore. I'll never be a " swifty"!
This song is a generational icon, same as the band. 10/10
Simon's bass was the highlight of this performance. Just sounded awesome.
Mark Lochala Absolutely 💯 and the Drums are tight as well...
@@rgordon2691 the snare sounds like a piece of paper on a piece of cardboard being hit with a pencil
Spot on Mark 👍🏴
Can you imagine being in art college as a student in the early 80’s with this music, in England. I had a great time! Brilliant times, brilliant music. God exists…..
Totally agree and also Siouxsie, Bahaus, Joy Division, ..Beautiful years, Beautiful youth
If God existed he would have brought forth 100 or more bands from the Cures time and place instead of keeping them buried in the alternative/new wave underground forcing bands like Bon Jovi and other top 40 crap upon us.
@@diggerthegroundhog8799 Bon Jovi was a cheap bar band, maybe 2/3 good songs.
Awesome times… Ive been a guitarist for over 50 years … around that time don’t also forget XTC , Steve Hillage, and ahh, The Groundhogs with Tony McPhee… Great days lads!
♥️
The Cure music is timeless .... I just started listening again after a 20 year break puts all the modern shite to shame ... My 8 year old wanted more and more.. she loves "The Caterpillar"
Says it all ‘your 8 year old loves it ‘ ......very simple kind of music
@@humanactivated1017 simple =/= bad
Excellent tune!!!
cause the last drummer....
Staying at the top!
Simon's bass sound and playing are some of the best I've ever heard on "A Forest". Masterclass.
Can listen to that play in on repeat
His amp is too loud, drowning out the rest of the players
@@geekUSA101 obviously you don't play bass
@@herryeah6294 I play guitar and drums. His bass is too loud
It’s isn’t just too loud, the tone is too trebly and scratchy sound. I don’t like it.
Simon has the best cardio of any bassist in the history of music!
Ever heard of the Red Hot Chili Peppers? ;-)
Steve Harris of Iron Maiden anyone?
Steve Harris >
Uhh John Entwistle! Oooooh.... you said cardio..... I thought you said cocaine.... 😅
This is the best rock show ever performed at the hall of fame.
I can't imagine performing something from 40 years ago so perfectly...like a fine wine.. I am 501 likes
I was never seriously into ‘The Cure’ in the 80’s but I always loved ‘A forest’ 💫
Now in my 50’s and finally seeing through life’s b.s I have a deeper appreciation for the band as they too have always been about cutting through the b.s 😄 My heart and brain have finally opened up to them like a rare flower.
Thank you guys 😌
I hear you!
Fascination Street
he was singing songs of dreams and horror fantasys
@@matthewread1545Some Angel has made a mix of Fascination Street & It’s No Good here on UA-cam. You’ll never hear FS the same again. It really is genius.
Точно так же и у меня! Проник серьезно в The Cure только после 50 годов.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I love this band so much they feel like a family member who consoles me whenever I need them... They are my comfort blanket. X
YES!!
Robert’s voice is like chicken soup.
they were the cure for my breakup and even still i know the groups music is there for me when others really aren't
Well they alive now so be grateful 💃🏻
Fuck yeah💯‼️🤘☠️🖤. Just said what we were all thinking..
This sounds like it was written just yesterday. Brilliant timelessness
No way, music hasnt been written this good in decades....maybe the early 90's. No one has creativity anymore. But you are right, it is timeless...their music speaks to the heart.
@@stephenwhite5444 You’re not looking in the right places. There’s a lot of good alternative and indie music that’s come out recently. Check out Clairo, King Krule, Mitski, Current Joys and Good Morning just to name a few. Most new pop music on the other hand is trash.
@@stephenwhite5444 top 40s isn't the only music in the world
My favorite Cure song- has that perfect blend of gothic, New Wave and rock sounds. It's been decades but it still feels like I'm hearing it for the first time, thinking how amazing this sound is! 😍
Also one of my favorites.... 🥰
And Robert's delicate lead guitar in it is magnificent.
They were kind of ahead of their time in a way, that's probably a cliche, oh well.
You forgot DarkWave...all before Gothic...thats how Goth started ;)
♥️
Robert Smith and his perfect voice 💕
Being able to turn emotion into sound is an amazing talent.
Just saw them in PHX last Thursday, and they aren’t diminished even slightly. As a live band the Cure is in full possession of their fastball, and the fact that Robert sounds as good as he ever did sets them apart from almost every other band that has been performing for 30-40 years. I love that they cross so many genres, which just defies most groups’ capabilities. This tour set list is phenomenal, but Pictures, Forest, and especially Burn brought the house down.
We are looking at a living legend
Emerica2020 we knew it from the day we first heard them the first time didn’t we? There is no one like them now or ever.
Non only one....
Simons bass is the cure sound , first saw them at the Marque in 1979 , hooked ever since
yep that and roberts gibson.
1:15 JESUS, I wasn't expecting this huge tone
That's Simon for ya.
I need to hear it on a better stereo than my cellphone. His bass sounds very skeletal and I can't hear Robert well.They played an amazing version of this and 100 years in New Orleans in 1999.They didn't have Reves,who is incredible. But they ruled.Sadly I never got to see them with Porl.I saw em again in New Orleans a few years ago with Reves and they were incredible.Robert plus a world class #2 guitarist is awesome. But when Robert doesn't have Reves or Porl,his epic skills get showcased even more.
Ive seen the Cure twice. PIL 4 times(89,12,15,18)and Ministry multiple times. I regret never seeing New Order although I have seen Peter Hook and the Light twice,and made 2 pilgrimages to Manchester to honor Joy Division/New Order.
If you are an old fart like me and haven't seen any or all of these legendary acts I mentioned,do it.If you are a youngin,go see what real music is,as opposed to dubstep or mumble rap(no offense,i like electronic music and good rap)-or whatever new unoriginal shit that is popular these days
It reminds me the bass from g&r you could be mine LOL... I am fucked up 🥳
@@concordiaciviummurusurbium9527 Both bassists use a chorus pedal so you might not be as fucked up as you think!
Patrick Timothy Hell yeah. I'm 23 years old now, know the band since at least 2011, but just became a fan for real, and could understand their music, around 2015; a little late, but I'm pretty happy that I did. Really hoping that they come down here to Brazil again In the future.
Seriously got into the Cure about 83, but later after High School, just chilling with friends in the basement playing pool listening all night to their songs. Cool memories, glad Robert still sounds the same, their music is epic so many favorites.
A Forest is my favorite song by The Cure. I was lucky enough to see them on the Blood Flowers tour. This song sounds incredible live. They are fantastic musicians.
♥️
The Cure is like a fine red wine...they've only gotten better and better with age. Such incredible musicians and performers.
God I have never heard a band be so consistent with this long of time
Really? I've always thought The Cure's first 15 years was WAAAAY better than the past 30 years. I couldn't name a single hit song of theirs since "Friday I'm In Love" in 1992. They were consistently great up until then. Not so great since then.
@@carlmarks8170 True
@@carlmarks8170 Hit song? Well, no, but I can think of several that are particularly good, 'Want', 'Out of This World', and 'Labyrinth' among them.
@@carlmarks8170 I think it’s simply because their beginning material was that good. A lot of bands have released great or even better songs in their later years. The Cure however were so good in the beginning that it was never the same. Im not even from that era and to me it’s clear.
Very small list of bands that still sound good 40 years later!!
Incredibly small list.
First time listening to the cure. I am now a fan. Man So cool.
WTH How does he sound EXACTLY the same. Respect!!
Simon Gallup is a real axe murderer on the bass... his axe. Just killer!
too loud and scratchy in the mix.
😊I am 80 years old and think the cure is in the top three 🎉in the world - oh sorry the second best in the world - oh sorry the best
i hear 1000 times this song and is always diferent
Great song.
Great performance here.
But nothing touches the "In Orange" performance.
PURE GOLD!
Agreed. The Orange performance was amazing. The best
No lip syncing here. What an awesome performance.
La musica dei Cure è stata per sempre motivo di aggregazione e socializzazione... Non ci si conosceva ma si condivideva... Eravamo tutti amici... Grazie a Robert...❤
Man his voice hasn't changed a bit it's insane
probably the most self-defining, the most "Cure" song they ever wrote.. an absolute masterpiece
Oh my they're tight! And great drumming too!
One of my all time favorite songs and The Cure sound as good today as they did back in the day!
What is the song about?? 🌳🌲🪵🪵🪵😮
@@MicheleMcAdoo Robert Smith of the Cure wrote it about his wife who at the time was his girlfriend and I believe to show how much he loved her. He references the ocean in the song because a trip he took with her in real life to the ocean inspired the lyrics. To me it always described a sort of love found and love lost type of tune. Beautiful and sad at the same time. Fantastic lyrics.
I'm never boring of the bassline ! Love Robert Smith 's haunting voice
Who else listened to this more then once? Six times for me now! It's better each time! This has always been one of my favorites and SO much FUN to play on guitar or bass!
Just saw them live for the 1st time a few days ago. Never was a huge fan. They completely blew me away. Amazing
No other band like them. Robert is the definition of humble. Fan since 88
Like a good wine, this song has aged to perfection...hearing it being played live...that bassline moved generation!!!!
Robert is a true artist who conveys everything he feels in the writing of his music. His art and creativity is like nothing else in our lifetime and probably not the next.
4 decades, and counting!! Here's to more!🥂
I just love Robert Smith so much.
Song finished.
My soul: again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.
Robert Smith is a genius!! Greetings from Brazil!
I feel this was played as a nod to all the core fans like us as against the audience who may have been hoping to hear Lovesong or Friday. 😎
Like I read in their biography Never Enough, this is a song that can continue as long as Robert and Simon wants it to, the closest I can explain is like seeing a segment of an endless winding snake, there is a sort of a beginning, but there really is no end.
So incredibly atmospheric 💖
They played Lovesong 🤦🏼♀️
@@Peach567 yup they did 😬 wish it was something more offbeat, but I guess everyone wants that and just like heaven
I've seen easily over 200 concerts and The Cure blew them all away. Iconic
I saw The Cure live and they were pretty good but the three equal best gigs I ever experienced were Fela Kuti, Laurie Anderson and The Rolling Stones ☺️
A Forest live in Orange in 1986 still remains the version of versions the bands greatest lineup SMITH, GALLUP, THOMPSON, WILLIAMS, TOLHURST. signed sealed and delivered.
orange aus?
Not sure if I can agree. Think I was 16 when I first saw the cure in orange
Well I definitely 2nd this!
@@nickhybner8485 Nick mate google the concert a band at their peak.
Nah man. The Show version.
It’s so cool that his voice sounds exactly the same.
Bass man bouncing around, cant wait to start digging into that tune !! ha ha lovely.
This song alone could have been enough to warrant them induction. It’s a perfect song.
And yet this same band also gave us countless other incredible songs that all hold up decades after they were release - AND the band still sound just as top notch as they did in the 80s.
We are all lucky to have been around to experience The Cure in our lives
Well deserved to enter such an exclusive thing that rock and roll hall of fame is
A true BASS BUFFET, and ALL YOU CAN EAT! EPIC performance, Senor Simon Gallup! Top-notch bass playing, pushing the envelope for that particular electric instrument (and still GETTING IT DOWN in 2019), in general, and 1,000,000% masterful!!! LL
Saw them in Coventry doing this. About 1980. Phenomenal.
So jelly because Coventry is the home of my #1 artist!!!!!!!! ATTRITION🖤😈
theCURE is and always will be the GOAT ... Roberts Voice is Timeless ... feeling 15 again!
Have to love that filthy bass tone of Simon's on this version.
Congratulations, you boys been deserving this one for-ever!
What a band...just amazing...
Amo The Cure. Este es un show con sonidos más limpios y etéreos. Y ese órgano añadido le da más épica. Lo que no deja de asombrarme, es que Robert tenga la misma voz desde sus inicios. Simplemente leyendas. A forest, de mis favoritas. Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Es una leyenda hermana. Hay que disfrutar esto que nos queda
Totally in love with this song!!!🥰🥰🥰
A Forest- My favorite "The Cure" song. Congratulations, gentlemen.
I was there that night at the induction ceremony. What an incredible experience! What an amazing performance. The Cure and Robert Smith still going strong after all of these years!!
One of my fav bands of all time..
They sound great LIVE.
This is definitely in my top favorite Cure songs.❤️
Me too!
Been a fan since the beginning, they are still top notch. Check out their performance from PinkPop last year, Robert sounds the same as back in the 80s. Not many vocalists do.
K Busby That is SUCH a good show. I like this, but the Forest there hits me in the sternum.
That pinkpop performance was absolutely amazing
@@gregkunst8199 I saw it just yesterday and yes it was an amazing performance.
@@stasa-X 👍👍
17 Seconds is my favourite Cure album. Love it!
"It's always the same". Long live The Cure!
Fourty years ago, and again and again and again, always always always the first time : MAGIC
What a classic MASTERPIECE! This song couldn't get old, it's absolutely timeless!
Amazing how his voice still sounds the same after so many decades of touring and simply aging. Wow 🧡🙌 love the cure
A masterpiece! This has a fresh, modern sound due to the rearrangement of the drums and keyboard / guitars, yet still retains its authenticity. Very cleverly done! Smith’s voice never changes. How on earth has he kept it ageless?
Nah that drum machine was shit, but the keys were not different at all.
I grew up with this stuff.
Their greatest masterpiece ! Just can't get enough ! Love this song so much !
His voice..... I close my eyes & I’m in high school~~ it sounds better than I even remember.
Robert has such a delicate unique touch to his guitar playing and his lead guitar is so special! The subtlety is just brilliant!
THE CURE IS THE BEST GRUOP OF THE WORLD.I LOVE THE CURE
One of the greatest rock songs ever
First heard this at 83..I was 10 years old then. Been a fan since! From 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
It's almost bizarre they are in the rock and roll Hall of Fame but at the same time it is so well deserved. Love this band so much. Big fan since the 80s.
Love to see those Boss pedals all lined up. Robert Smith is the reason I used all Boss pedals back in the 90s. Anything good enough for Robert Smith is good enough for me.
I just want to hear the guitar and bass go on and on and on and on and on and on and on at the end of this track
