Music video by The Cure performing Cut Here. (C) 2001 Polydor Ltd. (UK)
This song was wrote by Robert in dedication to his friend Billy Mackenzie who he seen back stage after a Cure concert. Sadly Robert didn't have the time to chat & have a drink with his old friend, it would be the last time he would see him as 3 weeks later Billy Mackenzie would commit suicide. Billy Mackenzie was the lead singer of The Associates and was an amazing talent with an amazing voice, this song was Robert's tribute to his old friend. R.I.P Billy Mackenzie your talent and voice will always be missed.
That's so, sad. The regret is prevalent in the song.
Hello Jackie Anderson , i have just found this story and song for the first time . During their time i studied every piece of music that Billy and Alan made , their use of effects etc, and of course the legend of his voice, which sadly i think has been forgotten . Not much else i can say really, such amazing talent in all of them , and a brand new thank you from me Mr Smith
Thanks Jackie for telling the audience. I am sure it means a lot to someone out there.
Thanks
Terrible DATA Papaaá!.
Saludos, desde Mar del Plata.
This song brings my Mum and I to tears. My Dad absolutely loved The Cure and was always dressed identical to Robert Smith (Make up and all), and he sadly passed away when I was 9 months old. My Mum never got a proper chance to say goodbye, and my brother and I never got a proper life with him at all.
Just sitting here now listening to this has me in tears again, while I look at a photo of him holding me when I was a baby, not long before he was gone.... A lot of The Cure songs hit me right in the feels, but this one takes the cake.
"Until later, doesn't always come"....
Rip Dad, love and miss you always xoxo
I lost my dad a couple years ago. He was a The Cure fan.
Your post is very touching.
I used to feel a pain in my chest when hearing this song. Because of something I should have done. But now I don't, because I don't feel that way for her.
But this song reminds me of dad now.
I find it difficult to listen to too, not because for any particular life event reason though
Nice words. Be sure he sees u from no matter he is now.
Love this song but always think of regrets that I have when I listen to it. May your Dad rest in peace.
more about the loss of Billy McKenzie me thinks
cut here lyrics
"So we meet again!" and I offer my hand
All dry and English slow
And you look at me and I understand
Yeah it's a look I used to know
"Three long years and your favorite man
Is that any way to say hello?"
And you hold me like you'll never let me go
"Oh c'mon and and have a drink with me
Sit down and talk a while..."
"Oh I wish I could and I will!
But now I just don't have the time"
And over my shoulder as I walk away
I see you give that look goodbye
I still see that look in your eye
So dizzy Mr Busy, too much rush to talk to Billy
All the silly frilly things have to first get done
In a minute sometime soon, maybe next time, make it June
Until later doesn't always come
It's so hard to think "It ends sometime
And this could be the last
I should really hear you sing again
And I should really watch you dance"
Because it's hard to think
"I'll never get another chance
To hold you to hold you"
But chilly Mr Dilly, too much rush to talk to Billy
All the tizzy fizzy idiot things must get done
In a second, just hang on, all in good time, won't be long
Until later
I should've stopped to think, I should've made the time
I could've had that drink, I could've talked a while
I would've done it right, I would've moved us on
But I didn't, now it's all too late
It's over, over
And you're gone
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you so much
But how how many times can I walk away and wish "If only"
But how many times can I talk this way and wish "If only"
Keep on making the same mistake
Keep on aching the same heartbreak
I wish "If only"
But "If only"
Is a wish too late
thank you for the legend mr. smith..
Merci pour le partage 💋 🤗 🙏
"All dry and English slow" 🖤
I don’t think The Cure has a bad song...all of their songs are beautiful and so meaningful...I adore them...
A sens 🙄
This one certainly qualifies as bad
@@docsavage8640 only for people with bad music taste
@@docsavage8640 it sounds outdated but that doesn’t mean it can’t be a great track.
@@Soundofsilver2007Outdated? I believe you but to me it sounds like a new style. But I was a teenager in the 90s.
Cut Here is anagram of The Cure. Mind Blown!
awesome!
+Johan Syahputra My mind has just blown ! .. The Cure ! are exactly that !!!
Nice!
cu THE re
more like "cut there"
This song is a testament to Smith's songwriting genius: The fact that he can pour his pain into a song and not make it sound like a pity party shows an extremely rare ability.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Robert. I think Billy would have been very honored to hear that he meant so much for you.
This tragic touching song is about regret, and evokes all the feelings of regret I have ever had, and ever will have. A masterpiece.
I was just casually singing along until i almost cried because the lines "I wish "If only", but "if only" is a wish too late" hit me too hard
His pain is all too obvious. Beautiful song. RIP Billy Mckenzie
Robert expressing heartfelt regret at not taking the time to talk to Billy Mackenzie backstage after a Cure concert. A few weeks later Billy was dead. The lyrics express the situation perfectly. How many of us have had a similar type of regret.
Got to admire Robert Smith's honesty, he's a big man for owning up and making this song. Billy Mackenzie was one of the greatest singers of all time.
He wasn't, and this isn't very good
@@docsavage8640Ok, we get it: you don't like the song. Move on. It's becoming boring and repetitive at this stage.
The sad happiness (or the happy sadness) is what The Cure are about!!! It's their "trademark", that's why we all love them, don't we? We all need some nostalgia, melancholy, sadness or "depression" but at the same time we all need joy, happiness, laughter and smile!! Just the way life is!!! Full of different (but at the same time) similar emotions and feelings!!! I love you Cure, you are REAL ARTISTS!!! You do what you do all these years because you trully believe in music!!! KEEP THIS UP!!!
So well said!
Sorry. 12 years ago but the music is still alive, I’m still alive so I’ll compliment you 😊
And it brings us together too, those intense, vibrant feelings, the Cure do something to me that no other band does. And here we are, experiencing life all together, it's a bit beautiful to be part of a sea of the same ocean
What a beautiful man with a gorgeous soul. Another perfect song. Will always LOVE The Cure for the rest of my years.
Sung exactly as Robert felt the pain. Emotional, beautiful and sad at the same time
Under the pop production sheen, this is a lyrically brutal song. Went straight to my insides. Still miss you Billy.
Very true. Rare for Robert to sing such a sad piece of words to an upbeat popsong. In a funny way it makes it all much more heartfelt and emotional. Great and overlooked song. Wonderful interplay between the paino and the 6-string bass. Love it. Nevet worked out live though...
Out of The Cure's whole anthology this song hits the hardest. And that's saying a lot.
I became a fan when I was about 16, but now in my mid 30's after some actual real life experience (and not just trivial teen problems) the lyrics are about 100 times more impactful. This song in particular hits me so hard that I can only bring myself to listen to it about once a year now
I feel the same way 💕. Also with being boring from Pet Shop boys. Can't listen to it everyday.
I miss you I miss you I miss you I miss you I miss you I miss you so much
"And you hold me, like you'll never let me go."
If you love me let me go
This song was literally the soundtrack of my life back in 2007 and 2008. And one of my all-time fave song.
"Until later... doesn´t always come" Love you Robert.
Knowing what this song is about, it's one of the saddest things I've heard.
I just listened to this song for the first time just now. “I could have made the time. I could have had that drink and talked for awhile. I could have moved us on, but I didn’t. And now you’re gone.” I’m not sure I got that exactly right. But what a moving and powerful song from the heart. I could see the grimace and pain in Robert’s face. It made me cry right then and there. What a tragically beautiful song.
I miss uou I miss you I miss you I misss you I miss you, So much.
That's the line that does it for me every time I listen.
Hay que valorar a cada persona que apreciamos... quiza sea la ultima vez que podamos verle...triste pero hermosa cancion.
Porque tal vez...NO la vuelvas a ver nunca mas
What a beautiful song, I cant believe I havnt heard it before. You just dont get the airplay you should and have more than deserved.
I am listing today the first time to this song and I love it..................
@@ReinhardDrKuhn Good more people should hear it. Thanks for replying.
Wow, I had never heard this song until I bought the Cure, Greatest hits a number of years ago and it immediately became one of my favourites. Finding out the meaning behind the song makes it even more special. Thanks for sharing. Spookily enough I have just been listening to the Associates before coming here, another great band.
Me too
Whenever i listen to this song it reminds me of my grandad who died back in august, i had hardly seen him since i was a toddler and a few weeks or so before his passing we were planning on going over my grandparents house but i tried not to go because i didn't want to go due to fearing my granddad would look through my laptop and put safety features on it as my mum was planning on getting that done for me and he was very good with tech stuff, i regret not going there, i had hardly ever formed a relationship with him and barely even talked to him or spoken to him since i was a toddler, the last time i seen him was in 2022 i believe, and we only did a quick handshake and i tried to avoid him the whole time, i regret it dearly, i have heard so many nice things about him since his passing as i do not remember what he was like when i visited him as a toddler, but i have a picture of me sitting on his lap that i have kept, which is very precious to me.. I wish i could go back in time and visit him before it was too late, i am so sorry granddad i hope you can forgive me.
I still believe the recent Cure period (from 2000) has got some beautiful gems, and it's a shame most people just know their "mainstream" era. I hope they are doing more new songs until I die.
That Song just cuts ... right here !
Rob McAllister :/
Baby Don't Cut by B. Mike.
cut here is the cure anagram
El 22 de enero de 1997, la depresión a causa de la muerte de su madre contribuyó a que Mackenzie se suicidara. Abusó del paracetamol en la casa de su padre en Auchterhouse, Angus. Tenía 39 años. La canción "Cut Here" de The Cure, escrita por Robert Smith, amigo de Mackenzie, trata sobre la culpa que en ese momento Robert sentía por haber visto a Mackenzie semanas antes de su muerte tras bastidores en un concierto de The Cure, y por no haber podido dedicarle un poco más de tiempo a su conversación ese día.
El de The Asocciates
Dont know what you said there ?
But it sure looks good !
Like -Thumbs up !👍
@@stevebirks2186 he talks about the suicide of Billy MacKenzie... the motivation of this song...
Quien era mackenzie ??
Mira aquí: es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Mackenzie

I just realized "Cut Here" is an anagram for "The Cure"
Cu tHe re
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you so much :'(
Ouch. Are you going to be okay?
I miss my dad so much this was one of our fav he worked so hard to provide for our family now he is gone he died too young at 49 i miss him so much
"and over my shoulder as i walk away i see you give that look goodbye..." who else could've sung that line and make it so powerful, and yet so sad and full of regret? only robert smith
This song moves me like no other. “It’s over and you’re gone”
"I'll never get another chance
To hold you to hold you"
It's over, over
And you're gone
The ultimate regret song. So heart breaking. And unfortunately for me, so familiar.
Yes familiar to me to , still miss Donna. have since I mest it up in 1989. I'm married now but still miss her
I miss my love for 40 years now. It will always be there, Abe
@@marcelpieterman3860 yes your rite there.
Ditto. 👻
RIP dear Billy. Surely Robert he'll be always watching over you with love even if time never let you have enough memorable time with him.
This is my personal favorite song from the CURE.
Perfect, melancholic, sad and beautiful. Just like life itself. Thank you, Robert Smith.
In memory of Billy Mackenzie.
:v
The asocciates
@@joseantoniogonzalezmoncada1558 Yes. Miss Billy still.
Miss u Itachi
Until later... doesn't always come...
This song is pure poetry!
Devoto da sempre ai Depeche Mode ma questa canzone è un capolavoro!!! Gran bel pezzo di vita portato in musica..tanto di cappello a Robert Smith..lunga vita ai Cure..fantastica!!!!
I love two of theirs as nothing else matters about goth, style, music and how we can't define it: it's Cut Here and Treasure.
And you hold me… like you'll never let me go.
This song let me say goodbye to a friend that was dying of cancer. He was so thankful. Thanks Rob, owe you one. Hugs to the sky, Claudio...
Can you notice when he seems about to cry at 3:12?
Totally broke my heart♥
The grief in his sight is well known when in live acts videos the camera focus on his face, in many videos this mourn always shatters my heart
i ran home in the pouring rain, uncontrollably laughing and smiling like an idiot, with this song playing. my all time favorite cure song 🫶 i suggest everyone to go outside and run in the rain while listening to this, life changing moment for sure
why isnt this a popular song? Its so good!
I really dont know this song is great
The song is popular😊
Forever Mr. Mackenzie and forever The Cure!
Man, out of each and every Cure song out of their massive anthology, this one cuts the deepest for me
So sad - so beautiful.
the bass on this is amazing
As all simon gallup's bass lines
The tribute to Billy McKenzie x
Hy Billy mackenzie was hit friend???
Which is the mean of this song???

*Translate this Spanish-English*
Billy fue un amigo cercano del vocalista, después de años sin verse se encontraron y Billy lo invitó a beber algo a lo que el contestó que no podía no tenia tiempo, una semana después Billy se suicida por la depresión incrementada por la muerte de su madre, en el momento en que Billy le pidió para beber algo sólo buscaba un apoyo en su momento más triste, la canción habla sobre lo que paso de una forma un poco indirecta, espero haberte ayudado
@@paolagabrielli4909 Billy Mackenzie (lead singer of The Associates) was a friend of Robert Smith (lead singer of The cure), he committed suicide and this song is about Robert regretting that he didn't spend more time with him before he died
love this song, it brings out a lot of emotional feelings about many people who mean something to me, in diffrent ways.
So sorry for your loss Robert! This song is a beautiful tribute to Billy 😢
“Until later, doesn’t always come” -
Just about sums it all up...
such sophisticated individuals
THIS IS FUCKING GORGEOUS MUSIC... SERIOUSLY. No matter how much time passes Robert, ur music is already inmortal. God bless you, the Cure.
The cure, dioses digan lo que digan y pase el tiempo que pase.
Because it's hard to think I'll never get another chance. To hold you, to hold you
Have been a fan of and listened to the cure for nearly 40 years, this song of all hits really hard and close to home!
I love everything about this song, the meaning, the structure, the production and of course Robert's voice, full of passion and honesty.
This was the first song that I heard from The Cure, RIP Billy.
My grandma passed 3 weeks ago. Unexpectedly. I am completely heart broken and lost. This song resonates to my core.
I love this band.. Please Robert.. Don t forghet to love Your fans That love you.. and Your everlasting colourful mind
This is without doubt the best ever cure record and I have been listening to them since I was eleven, and have every album they ever made. The sentiment behind the lyrics, give me goosebumps. The guy is a genious and so underated...
Since when has Robert Smith ever been seen as underrated? He is considered a genius by musicians the world over
seeing them headline reading festival in august... waited years and thought id never see them.... 12 short weeks now.... im a 30 year old man but ill shed a tear if they play this...
My daughter was born in March the year this was released. My father had come out to Japan to see his granddaughter in August. Then 9/11 happened. I called my father to tell him I was being deployed to the Gulf. I was gone for a few months and came back in January. I was planning on flying back to the US on leave in March so my daughter could have her birthday with her grandfather. Their birthdays were only a few days apart. But I was deployed again in February. I called my father to let him know I was being deployed again. I didn't know that would be the last time I would talk to him. He passed away on his 61st birthday a few days before my daughter turned 1 year old. I had to fly back to his funeral. When I was leaving the airport after arrival my sister was playing this in her car. I don't think I ever wept that hard in my life. We had a falling out when I was younger after my parents got divorced. He wasn't the greatest father nor was I the greatest son. But he was always my best friend, my surfing buddy, and my biggest supporter. I wish he could have been there when I retired from the military a few years after he passed away. The Cure has been my favorite band since high school. They have always hit home and been there for me. I hate this song for what it does to me, and love it for the same reason. Miss you Dad.
Thank you for sharing this man. And even more importantly, thank you for your service. We don't know each other, but you have my undying respect.
Legends.
Very underrated legends, but I think that's why people like them so much.
Oh man, I love this band.
I LOVE THIS SONG BADLY!!! I LOVE THE CURE MADLY!!!!!
This song gave me some valuable lessons, that my school didn't...
Best love song with most honest painful lyrics
I just lost a friend the same way. Now I know how this song really feels...
Whenever I ay this song by myself on guitar I think of my dad and struggle to sing it sometimes. We had a fractured relationship up until he passed. Thankfully I saw him a few weeks before he died.
Love you dad. I miss you every day
Maldita sea, que difícil es sentir el dolor de un adiós.
In the 19th centuryn Shubert use to hold "shubertiades". This one is one of those that I call "robertiade", like lullaby for instance.
Remembering Billy McKenzie 17 years on
It's so sad! Amazing instrumental and lyrics of course!
la primera vez que vi este vídeo en mtv (en 2001) tenia solo 11 añitos♥ y me encanto!!
y apenas tuve la oportunidad de verlos en vivo en el pasado concierto de monterrey y si de por si ya era fan ahora lo soy mucho mas jajaja simplemente los amooooooooo :)
The king of the eighties.
Oh, Robert. You're so lovely.
Reminds me of my grandpa who died four years ago on March.
I miss you so much :'( this song never fails to make me cry
I made this comment 7 years ago when I was 13
I'm now 20 and regardless of what else happened it still makes me cry so much
The lyrics are so so so spot on , love it !!
The song is about Billy Mackenzie, a fellow musician who commited suicide a few weeks after meeting Smith at the backstage of a The Cure concert, and get dissed by him. Robert wrote the song as a way of apologizing to him.
It is heart felt yet filled with regret. There comes a point when you realize that all of the "could haves" and "didn'ts" "never come again". And it is a familiar pain. I have lost some one much like Robert Smith did. And I have come to realize that all the life saving I have done still would have been in vain because it only prolonged her mental anguish. But I still would have saved her life with out hesitation. "If we had a second chance to get it right, would you believe that we could change a
thing?" - from the song Is This...Reality by Oingo Boingo.
@@angelinarobert622 what about dissing? I cant find any info on it
@@Watcher4111 he hardly dissed Billy. He apparently just didn’t have the time to have a chat.
That's not what happened at all.
RIP Billy
this song hits me so hard now that i know its dedicated to someone who died... it's terrible, he may rest in peace
WHO’S STILLS LISTENING TO THIS WONDERFUL SONG IN 2018? 😭
Me
2019, and always will
2019 !
Getting everyone through 2020 too!
2021
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you so much...
A música é linda, pena falar de alguém que se foi, mesmo assim foi uma linda homenagem.
Essa banda é demais, maravilhosa.
Vida longa e próspera "The Cure"
Superb.
Constantly reminds me, whenever I play this, to remember, keep in-touch and meet-up with people that I may not have seen for a long time, and to make time for friends and family, anyway, just in case.
Excellent, so emotional strait to the heart,if only we could take back our biggest mistakes that always stay with us.I love the raw feeling Robert smith shows us in his songs along with great music guitar and drums,great songs great tunes,if I could be as half as creative as him I'd be very proud of myself.please don't stop don't give up keep playing,great to have u BACK again! Kiss....idol x😄🎸
wonderfully put and my sentiments exactly, robert smith is a poetic genius, been following the cure since 81, never stop, can really tug at youre heart strings
The Cure is the best♥ honestly robert smith's voice make me smile :'3
Amo essa banda, amo esse vocal...Pena que nunca vêem ao Brasil
This song and the story behind it are so beautiful :(
perfect song ..music and words go so well together - sad but lovely
Despite this tragedy this is one of the best of the cure!
