    The Cure is actually an 80s band (actually formed in 1978) and kept going into the 90s and beyond. Check out more of their early stuff.

    • @timoteo950
      @timoteo950 Рік тому +39

      Definitely an 80s band. 90s band for The Cure doesn't sound right.

    • @DavidQuaile
      @DavidQuaile Рік тому +21

      Yep. The Cure carried their 80s sound into the 90s with a little more pop sound in this one. Gotta do "Pictures of You" by The Cure.

      @billmittenzwey3021 Рік тому +14

      I’ll always think 80s. They did have some good stuff in the 90s too. But it was really contrasting to most of the grunge that was prevalent.

    • @csn10
      @csn10 Рік тому +19

      Their early 1979-1980 post-punk sound is incredible: Boys Don't Cry, So What, A Forest live at Werchter Festival, 10:15 on a Saturday Night (which Robert Smith wrote at 16). Along with The Clash, Bauhaus, Joy Division and Bowie, they were so different than anything else that came out of the 70's.

  • @michlkwitz
    @michlkwitz Рік тому +407

    I remember when this came out a whole lot of us were puzzled by the fact the The Cure had actually put out an upbeat, happy song.

    • @3toobular
      @3toobular Рік тому +26

      EXACTLY!!! We used to play a sort of game where you try to find the happy truly upbeat song from them. Sure you have catchy sounds but when you look at the lyrics to most of their classic songs...depressing and dark disguised in the sugary sound.

    • @starshake8998
      @starshake8998 Рік тому +19

      Robert dismissively referred to it as their "radio song". I love it, but I'm not a true emo like their hardcore fans.

    Love love love the Cure, and Robert Smith. "Close to Me", "Facsination Street", "Lullaby", "A Letter to Elise", "Boys Don't Cry"... the list just goes on and on. One of the best alternative bands of ALL TIME, hands down.

    Jay & Amber, “Pictures of You” (the full album version) from 1989’s masterpiece The Cure album "Disintegration" is a MUST LISTEN! "Pictures of You" is gorgeous, melancholy and magnificent! Enjoy!

    • @jco207

    • @goatkiller666
      @goatkiller666 Рік тому +3

      I loved how the song is about the sadness of having nothing but pictures of her to remember her by. And then Microsoft used the song to advertise their picture sharing service (which eventually became Instagram, I think? Or a competitor for IG that was rebranded.) Not an upbeat song, but MS ad execs didn’t really consider that before playing it over happy skies and whatnot.

    The Cure has been around since 1978, they were a huge hit with the alternative crowd in the 80's i loved their music as a kid. There style influenced many kids at the time, glad they're still making music to this day and glad you both enjoyed them.

    • @Zoinks_Da-OG

  • @jamie8422
    @jamie8422 Рік тому +107

    The Cure was more than a band for many of us early 90s goth kids. Rock music had gone so dark in the early 90s....and The Cure was a band that spoke to us kids and told us that yes there are many dark things in this world....but there is also hope. Which is what this song is about. Every day of the week can be absolutely horrible in its aloneness....but there's always hope for that 1 time....that Friday....where you have love. The Cure literally saved the lives of many kids who felt hopelessness amid a world of people who didnt understand and who just wanted to rage. Goth kids just wanted to understand what they were feeling without being so depressed about it. The Cure told us that love was not only possible....but was real and within reach if we dont give up.

    Yes, The Cure was unique! The Cure started in the late 70's and became famous in the 80's. They are a product of the punk/new wave/alternative rock movement in Great Britain at that time. This band was part of the 2nd British invasion of the 80's. If I'm not mistaken, this song came out in the early 90's. Great memories !!! 🥰

  • @aep1974

    The Cure's "Disintegration" Is one of the great alternative albums. Every song is worth hearing and "Pictures of You" is a heartbreaking masterpiece. Must do that next.

  • @PaulWhytcross
    @PaulWhytcross Рік тому +26

    This song is from 1992 but I would class The Cure as an 80s act (one of the quintessential "alternative" bands of the decade). Their breakthrough in the US was very late, not coming until 1987/88.

  • @orcoastgal

      @jay-bt2lu Рік тому +1

      disintegration was such an iconic late 80s album. its the only cure album i owned but its still my favourite album of all time. from the first note to the last, i lose myself in just robert smiths utter melancholy and atmospheric euphoria. saw them in concert for this tour in phoenix az....amazing to see live and to listen too. they still play half of disintegration on tour to this day!!

    • @samhainkid

    Such a good band and song! My sister used to listen to them all the time. Robert Smith is a legend. Some other songs to check out: Fascination Street, Boys Don't Cry, Disintegration, Close To Me, The Lovecats, A Letter To Elise. The bit of the song was played in a VH1 Classic channel infomercial. Pop Rocks! Feel the flavor, it's the action candy! Only some of you all will know that jingle lol.

  • @dristanmord
    @dristanmord Рік тому +14

    This is one of my all-time favorite groups. No doubt they were inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame. They were so influential to so many groups over the years. their strength has always been the unique sound, tone, and lyrics by frontman Robert Smith. They are one of few bands that, when you hear them, you tell yourself "yep, that's the Cure" If you want to deep dive into them, you must check out some of their earlier songs. I credit "A Letter to Elise" as the inspiration for my daughter's middle name. Such a great, emotional, smart band.

    • @canonfodder2068
      @canonfodder2068 Рік тому

      I watched their Rock n Roll Hall of Fame induction concert from 2019. (Tuned in as a Stevie Nicks fan but left a Cure fan.) I immediately downloaded "A Forest."

  • @Maizy1985
    @Maizy1985 Рік тому +5

    It came out in 92 on the Wish album, so was still close to the 80's. It won the best video award at the time. Just like Heaven and Pictures of you are also great songs they did in the mid to late 80's but they have so many. Just love them to bits and they're still performing and sound great, such a unique band with unique sound that as soon as you hear the music start you just know it's the Cure!

  • @dawnpatrol700
    @dawnpatrol700 Рік тому +15

    From 79 to 84, this band wrote great depressing songs that appealed to a small loyal audience, and were big in the UK. Starting in 85, they decided to change approach and write happier stuff like " in between days" and their career really took off. From that point, they were becoming a pop band with huge hit singles. This was one of their later hits in 92. Personally, I love their 2001 song " cut here", never understood why it wasn't huge

    • @lemurvision
      @lemurvision Рік тому +1

      They wrote happier/more upbeat stuff before, like “The Love Cats”, “The Caterpillar” and “Let’s Go to Bed”. Some people associate them only with sad or slow dirgey stuff, so it confuses them when they occasionally release a pop song, I guess.

  • @kathyjam2482

    “A Night Like This” *this one has a surprise instrument I know you’ll enjoy!

But Dad was a truck driver, and guys wearing nail polish make-up and hair spray just was too much for my father...he used to scream at me every day about the 'faggits' on my bedroom wall. Only made me fall in love with them even more, every album is gold...true pioneers that will never get the credit they deserve, such brilliant songs. X

    I love the Cure! It was the early 90s and I was just started 9th grade when this first came out. I remember my friends and I walking down the street, in our doc martins, ripped jeans, rock tees, and open flannels, signing this song out loud. It was a fun time! As Amber said, 90's music shows more emotion. I always say that it was a time when they weren't afraid to show their inner darkness and emotions. On another note, Robert Smith has a great love story himself with his wife Mary Poole. They met when he was 14 and have been married for almost 40 years.

    @tlbrooks422 Рік тому +1

    The lead singer, Robert Smith was a guitarist in the goth/punk band, Siouxsie and the Banshees and then went out on his own. I'm not sure if you've covered that artist yet, but they'd be great for female Friday! Siouxsie (pronounced Suzi) has a history in music all her own. Try "Kiss Them for Me," "The Killing Jar," "Peek-a-boo," "Cities in Dust," and "Ornaments of Gold." Her cover of the Beatles song, "Dear Prudence" is unuque and memorable. For us here in the The States, her British accent can be difficult to decipher at times, but she's awesome!

    The Cure! I was in my 20s and they were one of my fave bands from the 80s..check out songs from that time like "Boys Don't Cry" and "Fire in Cairo" that evoke the 80s. Another 80s band you should check out is a-ha and their song "Take on Me" 🎸

    Spot on...the 80s introduced a lot of new innovation, synthesisers, electric keyboards and the whole new wave driven by the UK bands, the 90s consolidated and refined what the 80s brought in. Late 80s and early 90s very similar. The Cure were massive in the late 80s and they were the pioneers of Goth music.

    The Cure has always been kind of in the shadows - but they have a huge "underground" fanbase filled with many of us who adored them from the start. Their songwriting has always been on point even though their music might be considered "strange" by some. They appealed (and still do appeal) to Goths, but also anyone who occasionally feels misunderstood or different to others. My favorite song was one of their earlier hits: "A Forest". It's mysterious but with a catchy flow that keeps you hooked! P.S. Being in love on Friday makes me think of it being the day of love in Pagan mythology - since it's dedicated to love Goddesses like Frigg (Norse mythology: Odin's wife) and Aphrodite (Greek Goddess of Love.) ❣

    You probably hear the 80’s sound bc they formed in the late 70’s but had most of their songs in the 80’s.
    This was their first radio
    mainstream hit.
    Some 90’s bands to react to:
    311 “Amber”
    Incubus “Wish You Were Here”
    Smashing Pumpkins “Mayonnaise”

    Amber, The Cure date back to 1978. They are still active today after 45 years.
    Robert Smith is, I think, the only original member left in the band.

    The Cure is a band that spans decades from the late 70s to now. And it is very eclectic because of that. They had roots in punk, they became a goth standard, and they also did pop. I think you should listen to “The Thirteenth” for the horns. “Spiderman” for something really Halloween creepy. “Doing the Unstuck” is also a great one and inspirational. As for Valentine’s, I think it is pretty cool that Robert Smith, the lead singer and guitarist, had been married to his wife and high school sweetheart Mary Poole for thirty five years. ❤❤❤ Smith credits his stability to her strength. “Love Song” was his wedding gift to her. Before marrying Robert and the Cure’s success as a band, Mary was a nurse. I think a lot of women would find it hard to be married to the rock lifestyle, but Mary always seemed to be pretty strong in herself. For all the sad goth songs, Robert had always had it good in his love life.

    The Cure formed in 1978 and had much 'alternative' success in the eighties and pop success in the nineties. This might be why it sounds like eighties music to you. The song that first turned me onto them was "Close To Me" - it's very different than what you've heard from them so far but definitely worth listening to.

    The cure started in the 70s and were pioneers of the post punk and goth rock genres of music. They got big in the 80s and towards the end of the 80s became more of a pop band. Before then, they were more dark. They inspired bands like nine inch nails.

    The Cure started in the 1970's but this was one of their most popular songs and was in the 1990's.
    Robert Smith actually started out as a drummer for Siouxsie and the Creatures.
    As for the "emotional" part of it, this is goth music, not at it's best, but 1990's goth hop all the same.

    I knew a guy who was a literal malignant narcissist. He once told me that he didn’t really like music, which was so foreign to me. Anyway, he actually liked this song, and had the CD single of it. You know it’s a good song if a guy like that liked it.

    Hey there J and Amber, I hope your Wednesday is going well! I noticed on this video you're wearing a Beatles t. Its been a long while since you've reacted to the Beatles, so I'd like to suggest the song "I'm Down" live on the Ed Sullivan show, 1965 you've got some rocking guitar from George rocking piano from John, the usual great drums from Ringo and some really rocking vocals from Paul please give it a listen, you will not be disappointed!!

    The Cure are so much more than a nineties band.
    Their debut single "Killing An Arab" was released in 1978 and is still a superb single.
    Ever since that single The Cure haven't missed a beat and I would suggest that along with Siouxsie have a superb body of work.

    The Cure is an 80's Band to me (and to a whole lot of people) Even though this song came out in '92 it still very much has a signature 80's Cure sound.

    The Cure were dominant in the soundtrack of my life in the early 80's. Check out "Jumping Someone Else's Train", the bass is slamming and so are the lyrics. I love that the Cure had such a long run. Great selection for Valentine's Day.

  • @mpmlopes

    The Cure are not a 90s band. They were formed in 1978, and become hugely popular with Boys Don't Cry which was released in 1980. Since then, they kept their popularity througout the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. Their popularity may have droped somewhat in the last decade or so, because I think they haven't been as active as they used to. They used to tour all the time, and were always reliably good live.

    If you want a similar vibe, try Ordinary World by Duran Duran. When it comes to the 90s pop charts, there were 80s bands that still had big hits in the 90s, but that started to become less and less as "grunge" and alternative rock took over. There was also a huge wave of one hit wonder bands that are harder to categorize because they were sort of doing their own thing regardless of the trends happening around them

  • @bradparnell614
    @bradparnell614 Рік тому +1

    This song was from 1992 but they had long since established themselves by this point. I guess if you're under 40 you think of them as a 90s band but for people like me who were in high school and college during the 80s they were definitely an 80s band. 7 of their 13 studio albums came out in the 1980s and they only had 2 during the 90s. They did have 3 live albums during the 90s though as they have had continued success through the years.

    The Cure was definitely an EIGHTIES band (not 90's) that carried over into the 90s. But for one of their great 90s songs with a darker and much harder edge, check out their song "Burn" featured on the Crow movie soundtrack. You should check out that movie too!

    When I was a moody teen I would lay in my bed with the lights off and listen to The Cure for hours. My bedroom was in the attic and I grew up in the PNW so there was often rain pelting the roof.
    Perfect setting for this former goth. Well, I still have bats in my shriveled heart but I wear a lot less black.

    Their number one classic is 'A Forest' from their '17 Seconds' album, also a classic.. Gotta be heard to be believed. Kind of 'post-punk', less poppy than 'Friday' and as much of its time as Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead".

    The Cure goes all the way back to 1976 in the UK. Lead singer Robert Smith is the only band member that has remained in the group throughout the years. The Cure has an extensive catalog of hit songs and music videos throughout their career. The 1980s were the most successful period for the group in the US. Both of you might want to react to their song/music video for their song, “Fascination Street”.

  • @christianalander9487

    Probably at the top of the list of active bands that I really want to see play live. For over 30 years, they have been climbing higher on a short list of my favorite bands of all time. Their discography, especially in their first 15 years or so ('77 to '92), is so diverse and so consistently interesting and satisfying. Robert Smith is one of the absolute best singers and songwriters of the last several decades. Most of the Cure's recorded output is essential listening. 🤘❤️

    When Jay jokes about "pop opera", it made me chuckle because in the 80s and 90s, the Broadway musical "Phantom of the Opera" was all the rage, and if you were in the student-theater circles, you heard a LOT of the music from that show, which was on the verge of opera-type music. It was very popular back then.

    The Cure is not a 90's band. They're a late seventies band (first album released in 1979) that had great success in the eighties maintaining themselves active way into the new millennium even if past their commercial peak. Perceived as a solid respected band in England in the first half of the eighties (they're 1981 album 'Seventeen Seconds' is a personal favorite), they finally cracked the American market with the 1985 album 'The Head On The Door'.
