My dad passed away suddenly and tragically. This was the song I was learning on guitar at that time. After a week or two I went back to playing it looking at the chords on my computer, and then realized the chords are: A. D.A.D. I couldn't believe it. We never had any closure, but this song was everything needed. I knew it was from him. Every time I hear it, I know it's him. Blessings.
I lost my sister to an overdose and my brother several years later to a suicide. With my history I never thought I'd be the only one left of the 3 of us. Some songs just bring memories that cut through the darkness. They bring memories and provoke pain and healing at the same time. This is one of them for me, I can listen to it and get lost in a world no one knows excist.........
It will come in waves. You will think you understand yourself and know how it’s going to go and the control will slip away on a feathery thought out into the corners of your mind where you put your feelings of the love that is “lost”. It’s not lost is it? But it’s no longer shared. The emotional bridge you built together, to each other’s heart’s is gone. Taken away by words or distance or one of you just stopped building the bridge every day. I did not stop building but she did. She has tried to explain but when the bridge is broken sometimes the mirror cracks too. I look at all the pieces lying there and I don’t know how I can put them back together. I’ll try some how. Every shard is a reflection of me I see it out there. What I won’t do is tape back together these pictures of her. It helps to find a support group. Some are still meeting in Covid times in large meeting halls with good doors so you don’t need to touch anything. It helps to hear other humans that you don’t know hurting and moving with the pain. More people get through this than fail. It’s going to feel like no one has ever hurt this much I don’t know why but that is what happens when your mind and body were in love and then it’s gone. The withdrawals will make you will feel lost and that you will never heal. You will but you will not believe it. I did not. Some days I still don’t. It helps to hear from people that you don’t know talk about what they’re going through and you’ll see them through a detached lens and through that lens you will see pieces of yourself and it will help you remembering that you were seen you were loved and you can be again. Every day find a picture that reminds you of who you were, who you are and who you want to be in the future. Keep the around. Scrapbook them or make a collage. Remember when your brain just wanted to build a story that way? Find who you want to be after this. Build it and you can be a little bit stronger each day. If someone wants to help me clean up the commas and what not and so forth I’m open to that. Words have always been pictures for me there is not a lot of structure they just run in and out of where they want to go.
The comments on this thread are some of the most deep and heartfelt I have ever read. They restore my faith and love for humanity. We are all bonded here...and wherever we depart to after this life. To my 80's people...to everyone else...sending my deepest love. I love u all. ❤❤❤
your abbility to feel heartbreak equals your abbility to truly love someone, heartbreak sais you have a rich soul and when you find the right other one, you will be so fucking happy.
Becca, I've been there *heartbroken & alone* 😔 But there always gonna be somebody out there to love you😍 & of course; the one & only GOD; & HE will never stop lovin' you 🙏👼
my dad hung himself two weeks ago this was one of his favorites dad i love you and i wish you were here with me and ur beautiful grandson one day we will meet again and talk about so many things for now i have to live my life ILL NEVER FORGET UR VOICE U WERE THE LIFE OF THE PARTY I LOVE YOU POPS
This song ALWAYS gives me chills and it has been and always will be my favorite Cure song.....as I was getting my chills while listening, I scrolled down to read the comments as I always do...and MAN....I just burst into tears reading your comment. My deepest condolences...
I lost my dad to stomach cancer 8 years and I listened to this song on repeat. Here I am 8 years still crying like a baby, lost and heart broken especially around Father’s Day!
I know the grieving goes away for a time and then you hear or see or smell something and BAM! Your grieving all over again. We all go through this. You’re not alone. Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄🎄⛄️⛄️🎁🎁❄️❄️love me. 😊
Reminds me my lovely Mum, now smiling in heaven. Miss you so much Mum, gone too soon. Now I fly to you in my dreams every second and also by looking at your pictures. Love you so much my sweet angel.
Humberto Celli your comment made me shed a tear because even though my mom did not pass I know in my heart that this song will always remind me of her because it’s one of her favorite songs by the cure, I’m sorry to hear about your mom 😥
@@skyecastilleja654 Thank You indeed, you are very sweet. Please share every second with your Mum, make her smile, watch movies, laugh together. Mum's are the best gift in life. You are a pure soul, here I am thinking on my Mum as everyday in my life. God Bless You both, say hello to your Mum for me. Cheers
My prayers are with u and ur daughter!! I lost my oldest son Mason three years ago to a drug overdose after he'd been clean for three years prayers are very powerful and I just keep praying for your daughter.😇✝️🙌🙏🕊👑
People think hearing songs like this when you're sad is counterproductive to getting better, but it really does help purge all the negative feelings. In time, things won't hurt as bad and the thoughts that used to be hard to think about won't even cross your mind (at least not as frequently). I'm glad to hear you're feeling better.
I played this for my wife on our wedding day - she never heard of The Cure or heard of this song. For many years, we were always good friends and always had deep feelings for each other. However, life always pushed us apart. Once we got married, I played this for her. For many years, I would look at pictures of her and recollect the memories hoping for the day that I never would lose her.
For many this is a song about one’s feelings for another person, for me it’s a song to me from God. As I grew older I grew apart from our creator and the path that was intended for me. This song is a reminder of God’s desire to regain what was once lost due to my poor choices. Thank you Robert; your music is a light that guides me on my journey in life. I appreciate you fulfilling your calling!
😢😢😭 ... ☺ I'm with you on that sweetheart... God of Abraham and His Son Jesus Christ are my strength and they will be my when those that hate come to destroy me. And I ask you now Father in heaven, when they do this evil upon me.... Like Your son and MY Lord Jesus Christ has done, and has taught me too do LAY NOT THIS UPON THEIR CHARGE, IF THEY SHALL PUT ME IN THE GROUND FOR YOUR NAMES SAKE ☺
After i purchased this cassette back in 1988 i listened to it over and over during my road trip from Madrid, Spain to Rota, Spain... A trip I'll never forget!
Reminds me of my youngest brother he received his wings nov. 2019 five days after my birthday ..Sept 2018 he found out he had stage 4 cancer.. we traveled four hours to get his treatments and we would just sing all the way to Houston and back home ..I miss you so much brother ... this is Heartbreaking 💔 💔💔 forever Martin...I love you brother.
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you That I almost believe that they're real I've been living so long with my pictures of you That I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel Remembering you standing quiet in the rain As I ran to your heart to be near And we kissed as the sky fell in, holding you close How I always held close in your fear Remembering you running soft through the night You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow You screamed at the make-believe, screamed at the sky And you finally found all your courage to let it all go Remembering you, fallen into my arms Crying for the death of your heart You were stone white, so delicate Lost in the cold You were always so lost in the dark Remembering you how you used to be Slow drowned, you were angels So much more than everything Hold for the last time then slip away quietly Open my eyes, but I never see anything If only I'd thought of the right words I could have held on to your heart If only I'd thought of the right words I wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you Looking so long at these pictures of you But I never hold on to your heart Looking so long for the words to be true But always just breaking apart My pictures of you There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more Than to feel you deep in my heart There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more Than to never feel the breaking apart My pictures of you
My best friend died 2 weeks ago and I can't stop listening and crying to this song🥺💔 i miss him so much. Rip Eddie I love you. Missing you so much down here
My soul mate of 10 years left me 2 months ago and Idk where I am going in life but my will keeps me moving on in a senseless direction trying to improve the hand I'm dealt whilst also being self destructive. I'm aware the 2 paths cannot be combined. I hope and pray every day she will return although she has cut ties with me and not given 1 valid reason. However, when we spoke last I asked if she loved me and she just shushed me. She avoids the question but I'm left with nothing but pictures both physical and photographic memories of all of the joy we brought to one another. I dont know what I'm getting at here. I guess maybe I hope that no matter how much doubt and how bad things are right now that it can once again return to the fairy tale I knew it to be. We can continue talking about how lucky we are for having found what people search endlessly for. I hope to have a love like Robert Smith has with his wife. God bless you all and send positive energy my way if you care to. Thanks.
Jim Bro Things do get better, delete all the photos of her and try and do things to district yourself. It’s killing u sitting by yourself alone with ur thoughts, so definitely go and hang out with people. Right now it’s tough but things do get better, and if u need any support I’m here.
Any time! I find it really fucked that ur ex wife of 10 years just leaves and doesn’t even have a reason, it’s not correct. Definitely try and look for therapists, just so u have someone to vent to and pour everything out. And like I said I’m always here if u need support.
@@elizakica785 Im actually looking into getting a therapist tbh. I dont want to be prescribed anything but if it helps I'm all for it. Again thanks for the support
This part of the song always gets me because when my ex walked out on me we talked sometime later and she told me that she wanted me to stop her and that if i told her that i didn't want her to go she would have stayed but i let foolish pride let her walk away and now i live with that regret everyday
this song can many relate to, not just love between man and woman... love in general, despair when all seemed dark, yet you are able to Scream and let go. imagine those who have been abused " Remembering you running soft through the night You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow And screamed at the make-believe Screamed at the sky And you finally found all your courage To let it all go If only I thought of the right words I could have held on to your heart If only I'd thought of the right words I wouldn't be breaking apart All my pictures of you
My husband died and putting away the pictures of him so I can go on was terrifying and horrible and so so painful. But having them brings me so much joy. Hugs to you all ❤️
I know everyone says “their decade” was life altering... but I feel that those of us in that 80s decade were witness to the edge of a change different than before. I feel like we were awake - Moving into technology and forging something that now moves faster than sound. Music from then reminds us of memories so full of detail it’s like we are there all over again. Looking back I feel lucky. We were present in those moments. We were, and are, still so full of life and music.
You are so right Sandi. It was by far the Best decade.. Not just the music, but how we lived. We the soldier's of the 80s will forever keep the Music and decade alive.
This is The Cure in one song - & what a song! The guitar riff, the slow, swelling keyboards, sweeping to such a tender, delicate melody - Great music .. & the lyrics - Wow! Heart-felt, heart-breaking, heart-deep, only Robert Smith's gentle. measured vocals could unfold this beautiful master-piece .... & it is un capo-lavoro .... A master-piece .....
I suffered a miscarriage with what would have been my last child last month. This song overwhelms me with sadness, but it also brings me tears of joy when I remember them. Wish I had pictures of them to look at, too. Such a beautiful song, even after all these years. The Cure will always be one of the best bands, in my opinion. 💞
You are a mum to this child forever. He or She is alive in heaven and when Jesus comes to reign, your child is coming with him to meet u and live with him/ her on earth.
This song reminds me of my Mum now in heaven with my Dad. I miss them every second of my life, I spend hours looking at their pictures. They live in me, in our pictures, in the deep of my heart. ❤️💂👸🦅
Pictures, videos, anything really to give me that one glimpse at my one true love...your voice rings loud in my ears and the videos refresh how I feel 💛 forever and always Nikki 💛
For people talking about breakups, I always thought this song was about him loving someone so broken that they died of their pain. Like they couldn't shake it and eventually their spirit either broke for good or they killed themself.
I never thought of that but now I'm going to listen to it again and try to see it that way because i got goosebumps when i read your text. Which always means something. Thanks for another perspective.
Exactly what happened to myself and my soul mate, plus the Disintegration Album hadn't long came out when we got together on 31st January 1990 :( miss that blighter so much too but The Cure help me bring back happy memories - not sad ones. Bless you all out there - stay safe people. x
yes this song hits home with such a punch of emotional pain......its no wonder we get scarred and then find it difficult to love again. great song by a great band.
I was born in the late 90’s but my heart always belonged to music from the 80’s a decade of passion, love and pain... something that you can relate too! ❤️
I will never forget the night John Lennon was killed. The next morning I jumped on a plane and spent 10 days in Central Park. Along with thousands of other crying fans.
I really credit songs like this, artists like this with allowing me to put to words my feelings.. even when the words don't fully express the depth of emotions, lyrics like these let me know it's ok to try.. I was so lucky to have found these songs back when they were new and popular. Before many deaths and losses and tragedies.. music is therapy for sure.
When you find yourself still keeping an old memories even you trying harder to forget it all. However, life has its end. You may find the peace after you ran from it.
I woke up humming this song. I’m trying to understand my family heart break, how i lost myself way back trying to appease the brokenness in my parents, within their broken society and norms…how I was broken through abandonment, (If only I’d thought of the right words…) and only had pictures to carry with me most of youth, and how my feelings or the story got stuck in those pictures. Now, how other pictures hold the remnants of the child I once was, who i need to welcome home within myself. This song holds it all. Thank you for the beauty in these comments and courage to let it all out, if not go! ❤
This is my first song by The Cure and being able to see how everyone relates to this songs makes me happy because I can see that I’m not the only one. I tried my best to move on because my ex told me to but I just can’t. I changed myself for her but when I showed how I changed she rejected me. I still hope to be able to be with her some day and I refuse to delete some pictures of her and to throw away certain things that reminds me of her. I just hope she sees how I changed without me talking to her :’)
I changed to fit in with the man I believed I loved, for 30 years - only to fall deeply in love with another who saw and loved the real me instantly - one day with him has sadly been worth more than the rest which came before. Don’t compromise who you are, it results in awful heartbreak.
No matter how hard I try I can't get rid of my ex's pictures I always look at them when I listen to this song especially because she loves the cure and if I'm being honest when I sing this at karaoke and I sing it with my eyes closed and picture her and the memories I have it her ..... Damn I miss her...😞😞😞
There will never by anyone who exceeds this musical, quality and your voice Rober will never be replace there is no one like it..for all my life and forever the cure✌😎😘
This music and lyrics are so beautiful and powerful, that you can't help but drawn in to the emotions this brings out of people! There's so many songs that make me feel like swaying with a lit lighter in the air as I cry. Another powerfully emotional song is "Still Loving You" by Scorpion.
First saw the Cure in the mid to late seventies. Never thought they'd go far. Wow! They're persistent talent prove me wrong. Amazing And beautiful song.
I'm so sorry Brian. I always loved this song but about a month after one of my oldest, best friends died tragically it came on the radio; it gutted me but at the same time it was everything. I'm so very sorry for the loss of your brother.
"Pictures Of You" I've been looking so long at these pictures of you That I almost believe that they're real I've been living so long with my pictures of you That I almost believe that the pictures are All I can feel Remembering you Standing quiet in the rain As I ran to your heart to be near And we kissed as the sky fell in Holding you close How I always held close in your fear Remembering you Running soft through the night You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow And screamed at the make-believe Screamed at the sky And you finally found all your courage To let it all go Remembering you Fallen into my arms Crying for the death of your heart You were stone white So delicate Lost in the cold You were always so lost in the dark Remembering you How you used to be Slow drowned You were angels So much more than everything Hold for the last time then slip away quietly Open my eyes But I never see anything If only I'd thought of the right words I could have held on to your heart If only I'd thought of the right words I wouldn't be breaking apart All my pictures of you Looking so long at these pictures of you But I never hold on to your heart Looking so long for the words to be true But always just breaking apart My pictures of you There was nothing in the world That I ever wanted more Than to feel you deep in my heart There was nothing in the world That I ever wanted more Than to never feel the breaking apart All my pictures of you
Reminds me of Germany I remember when this came out I lived there so long ago. Then again in 2004 to 2008. Lost a buddy when I was in combat then a wife who just couldnt take me anymore either. Now all I got is pictures too
This was our song. She left me in the middle of the 21st night of October 2019. I found my babydoll on the bathroom floor. No life in her body. They carried her away in a bag. After 20 years of everlasting love with my honey. All that's left are the pictures. The pictures are all I feel. This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It was our song when she was away. Now she is gone forever. And this song is all we have left. And the pictures she left behind with me I love you April. Always and forever honey
Every time I listen to this song, I feel something different. This time, I feel the bitter loss of a divorce and the sweet joy of rediscovering myself. My divorce was 7 years ago. But today, for the first time, this song is both about the courage to let go and the loss of letting go. And after all these years, today I understand this was not about letting go of him but of letting go of me to become me. ✌️❤️🌻
There was nothing in the world That I ever wanted more Than to feel you deep in my heart There was nothing in the world That I ever wanted more Than to never feel the breaking apart All my pictures of you...... My forever love.... sleep well now 💔💔💔💔💔💔
I am 58 and I've loved The Cure since I was in high school. I think of my mom when I hear this song. She left this earth 7 years ago but it feels like it's been a lifetime. Nothing hurts like losing your mother. Until I see you again mom.....💔💔💔
Many years ago, an ex-boyfriend and I had our first kiss to this song at OSU High Street's Mother Fletchers/Purity dance floor in our half drunken state. We thought it was "our song" for a while. This eventually wasn't our only song, but we hadn't listened too closely to the lyrics or understood. After our break up a couple of years after and upon a close listen it became clear to me and, ironically, the song really hit home for how I was feeling. It was an agonizing breakup and the song depicted how our relationship was, even down to the episode when I was having a hard time one night and he had held me a long while outside while it rained. It all became just heartbreaking pictures in my mind when it was over. This song, at the beginning of the relationship, predicted how we ended up. I hadn't listened to this for many years, and it's a big flashback.
Expressions we lost along the way, a memory of you , a glance, a forage, somehow a tenet to neither of us. I still see your smile. and then it's lost to a time that is no more. beautiful we remained, beautiful we felt, and those photos don't mean the same.
Robert Smith is one of the most underrated songwriters of the last 40 years. This is a masterpiece. Timeless.
One of the songs from the movie The Vow starring Tatum Channing
Love love love...
My friend Steve forget the rating think about the talent......great masters have gone through this
So true and also many people don’t know how amazing of a guitar player he is. Dude is a fkn beast on the guitar!!
I agree this song is a heartfelt masterpiece
My dad passed away suddenly and tragically. This was the song I was learning on guitar at that time.

Sorry for your great losses…this song is a super way to conjure their memory….❤❤❤❤
I was 16 with this song came out in 1989. It’s 2022 & it’s still one of the best songs ever! Absolutely one of the greatest bands ever!
Same!!! I will forever love them ❤️😍🥰
U old softy! Keep it up. We need some humanity! Don't forget to cage the elephant!I met my wife in '83.
I was 18 !!! Man I miss those days!!
The Cure is timeless.
This song hits differently when you're broken. 🖤💔🖤 I truly feel every single word..
Same here
You're not alone
It will come in waves. You will think you understand yourself and know how it’s going to go and the control will slip away on a feathery thought out into the corners of your mind where you put your feelings of the love that is “lost”. It’s not lost is it? But it’s no longer shared. The emotional bridge you built together, to each other’s heart’s is gone.

I did not stop building but she did. She has tried to explain but when the bridge is broken sometimes the mirror cracks too.

What I won’t do is tape back together these pictures of her.
It helps to find a support group. Some are still meeting in Covid times in large meeting halls with good doors so you don’t need to touch anything. It helps to hear other humans that you don’t know hurting and moving with the pain. More people get through this than fail. It’s going to feel like no one has ever hurt this much I don’t know why but that is what happens when your mind and body were in love and then it’s gone. The withdrawals will make you will feel lost and that you will never heal. You will but you will not believe it. I did not. Some days I still don’t.

Remember when your brain just wanted to build a story that way? Find who you want to be after this. Build it and you can be a little bit stronger each day.
If someone wants to help me clean up the commas and what not and so forth I’m open to that. Words have always been pictures for me there is not a lot of structure they just run in and out of where they want to go.

absolutely right
This song will forever remind me of my late husband, he died 17 years ago at 31. This song holds all my memories of him

This comment section is really deep. I am 14.
What do you think off our nature policy.?
If you haven't cried reading these lyrics and listening to this song ever, you have never been in love. Let alone heartbroken.
your abbility to feel heartbreak equals your abbility to truly love someone,
heartbreak sais you have a rich soul and when you find the right other one, you will be so fucking happy.

This is probably the greatest song in history
It's definitely up there!!
It is.

My prayers are with u and ur daughter!! I lost my oldest son Mason three years ago to a drug overdose after he'd been clean for three years prayers are very powerful and I just keep praying for your daughter.😇✝️🙌🙏🕊👑
Hopefully one day she make it back to you…..
Crystal....I'm so sorry. Thinking of you a year later. ♥️ You and your daughter.
I'm so sorry man... Hope she'll find peace and come back in your arms...
I'm so sorry...I understand.
It's amazing how the worst moments in one's life can bring out some of the best poetry...
That's because pain strips you bare, and the best poetry is emotion set free
Been loving the Cure since the early 80's. This one always starts me out with goosebumps...then the tears start....just so powerful!
burooj119 SO TRUE!!
This song made me so sad for so many years. It doesn’t anymore. I’m so grateful for that
People think hearing songs like this when you're sad is counterproductive to getting better, but it really does help purge all the negative feelings. In time, things won't hurt as bad and the thoughts that used to be hard to think about won't even cross your mind (at least not as frequently). I'm glad to hear you're feeling better.
Why not anymore?
Awww, that means you evolved as a person. That's great.
Time heals all wounds
you finally found your courage to let it all go ..... chills
Yes
💕this line
That line breaks like waves on a rocky shore...beautiful yet tumultuous
My favourite is: Crying for the death of your heart....
I played this for my wife on our wedding day - she never heard of The Cure or heard of this song. For many years, we were always good friends and always had deep feelings for each other. However, life always pushed us apart. Once we got married, I played this for her. For many years, I would look at pictures of her and recollect the memories hoping for the day that I never would lose her.
Did u?
@@reneemckenzie4818 so... Are both of you together now or not?
I love your story.. but why did you marry with someone who never listened to The Cure!!!! haha just kidding... I hope your story ended well
He lost his wife to Ashton 😂🤣
His voice is so clear and tender, he knows how to find the right words, such a deep side man despite his extravagant look ❤️
For many this is a song about one’s feelings for another person, for me it’s a song to me from God. As I grew older I grew apart from our creator and the path that was intended for me. This song is a reminder of God’s desire to regain what was once lost due to my poor choices. Thank you Robert; your music is a light that guides me on my journey in life. I appreciate you fulfilling your calling!
nice
Also everyone's open hearts on this page make me cry.
😢😢😭 ... ☺ I'm with you on that sweetheart... God of Abraham and His Son Jesus Christ are my strength and they will be my when those that hate come to destroy me.
And I ask you now Father in heaven, when they do this evil upon me.... Like Your son and MY Lord Jesus Christ has done, and has taught me too
do
LAY NOT THIS UPON THEIR CHARGE, IF THEY SHALL PUT ME IN THE GROUND FOR YOUR NAMES SAKE ☺

Still-One of the greatest songs ever written! 💝
Reminds me of my youngest brother he received his wings nov. 2019 five days after my birthday ..Sept 2018 he found out he had stage 4 cancer.. we traveled four hours to get his treatments and we would just sing all the way to Houston and back home ..I miss you so much brother ... this is Heartbreaking 💔 💔💔 forever Martin...I love you brother.
He's still singing together with you ❤️
So sorry for your loss. RIP to your dear brother.

@@melissav68 You're so very welcome and stay strong. 💪
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel
Remembering you standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in, holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering you running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
You screamed at the make-believe, screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage to let it all go
Remembering you, fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white, so delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you how you used to be
Slow drowned, you were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes, but I never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you
Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
My pictures of you
My best friend died 2 weeks ago and I can't stop listening and crying to this song🥺💔 i miss him so much. Rip Eddie I love you. Missing you so much down here
💙🙏🤍
My soul mate of 10 years left me 2 months ago and Idk where I am going in life but my will keeps me moving on in a senseless direction trying to improve the hand I'm dealt whilst also being self destructive. I'm aware the 2 paths cannot be combined. I hope and pray every day she will return although she has cut ties with me and not given 1 valid reason. However, when we spoke last I asked if she loved me and she just shushed me. She avoids the question but I'm left with nothing but pictures both physical and photographic memories of all of the joy we brought to one another. I dont know what I'm getting at here. I guess maybe I hope that no matter how much doubt and how bad things are right now that it can once again return to the fairy tale I knew it to be. We can continue talking about how lucky we are for having found what people search endlessly for. I hope to have a love like Robert Smith has with his wife. God bless you all and send positive energy my way if you care to. Thanks.
Jim Bro Things do get better, delete all the photos of her and try and do things to district yourself. It’s killing u sitting by yourself alone with ur thoughts, so definitely go and hang out with people. Right now it’s tough but things do get better, and if u need any support I’m here.
@@elizakica785 I appreciate it so much with all my heart
Any time! I find it really fucked that ur ex wife of 10 years just leaves and doesn’t even have a reason, it’s not correct. Definitely try and look for therapists, just so u have someone to vent to and pour everything out. And like I said I’m always here if u need support.
@@elizakica785 Im actually looking into getting a therapist tbh. I dont want to be prescribed anything but if it helps I'm all for it. Again thanks for the support
Time to climb another mountain...I have a feeling that I’m older than you. It won’t be the last mountain you climb. Keep your chin up bro
..."If only I thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart"
This part of the song always gets me because when my ex walked out on me we talked sometime later and she told me that she wanted me to stop her and that if i told her that i didn't want her to go she would have stayed but i let foolish pride let her walk away and now i live with that regret everyday
@@kuyaa74 That does suck having that pride.
"If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you"
this song can many relate to, not just love between man and woman... love in general, despair when all seemed dark, yet you are able to Scream and let go. imagine those who have been abused " Remembering you running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go
If only I thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you
My husband died and putting away the pictures of him so I can go on was terrifying and horrible and so so painful. But having them brings me so much joy. Hugs to you all ❤️
*hugs from a nobody who is just passing by*
God Bless U🙏
Hugs from a girl who reciprocates you feelings of emptiness and fear...
My lovely wife (RIP), like this one very much, when I play over n over again , make me always remember her .. again again n again..so long baby...
That guitar riff is so beautiful
Goosebumps every time
Rest in peace, mom and dad. Death is no longer scary knowing you two will be there to greet me
Amen ❤
Wow!, read the Bible John 5:28,29
Resurrection hope and a new start in a happy life …… hope this is helpful………
❤❤❤
One of the most beautiful songs ever written…in my humble opinion. Thank you, The Cure. ❤
I know everyone says “their decade” was life altering... but I feel that those of us in that 80s decade were witness to the edge of a change different than before. I feel like we were awake - Moving into technology and forging something that now moves faster than sound.
Music from then reminds us of memories so full of detail it’s like we are there all over again. Looking back I feel lucky. We were present in those moments. We were, and are, still so full of life and music.
The 80's were awesome for music, I don't care what anyone says!
Sandi B you put it into words my thoughts EXACTLY! ❤️❤️
You are so right Sandi. It was by far the Best decade.. Not just the music, but how we lived. We the soldier's of the 80s will forever keep the Music and decade alive.
I grew up in the 80s and I loved the 80s happiest times of my life. Best music ever.
Such a brilliant beautiful song, lyrics and music ❤
One of the best Cure songs! ♥
This is The Cure in one song - & what a song! The guitar riff, the slow, swelling keyboards, sweeping to such a tender, delicate melody - Great music .. & the lyrics - Wow! Heart-felt, heart-breaking, heart-deep, only Robert Smith's gentle. measured vocals could unfold this beautiful master-piece .... & it is un capo-lavoro .... A master-piece .....
This song has saved me and broke me many times over and over.... I am thankful for all of it... Stay strong friends
When you really..REALLY feel this .. its a beautiful cold,searing, aching,longing, deep, wonderful, once in a lifetime heartache..
A crippling amazing thing that spans eternity..
I suffered a miscarriage with what would have been my last child last month. This song overwhelms me with sadness, but it also brings me tears of joy when I remember them. Wish I had pictures of them to look at, too. Such a beautiful song, even after all these years. The Cure will always be one of the best bands, in my opinion. 💞
Jessie Black Sweetheart your child sits with God, in paradise. I know the pain you feel is overpowering, but, God exists with this child in pure joy.
*hugs you and cries with you*
I planted a tree on would have been my daughter's birthday. I call it my Serenity tree. She's so beautiful.
Hugs to you
You are a mum to this child forever. He or She is alive in heaven and when Jesus comes to reign, your child is coming with him to meet u and live with him/ her on earth.
CRIED DEEPLY FELT PAIN AND JOY AT THE SAME TIME.. DAMN
Lost in the cold, you were always so lost in the dark..
Мария Катсали I have a sweetie from Ukraine 🇺🇦, who I’m terrified I’ll never get to meet. I would gladly take a bullet for her. God I miss her.
This song reminds me of my Mum now in heaven with my Dad. I miss them every second of my life, I spend hours looking at their pictures. They live in me, in our pictures, in the deep of my heart. ❤️💂👸🦅
Pictures, videos, anything really to give me that one glimpse at my one true love...your voice rings loud in my ears and the videos refresh how I feel 💛 forever and always Nikki 💛
the music makes me fly to the sky. but the lyrics drowned me deep into memories. Oh God how I love this masterpiece
Finally healed, just a bad memory now
I hope I can get there, glad you healed man!!!
Me too man me too
Me too 🤪
Same here
Scott Masheris thats awesome to hear you evolved my friend
October 2019? This song is so beautiful. The cure 4ever
Right here ❤️
Yeeess
4ever Cure
Joseph Bastidas hang in there
Yes...❣️👍🤘
Disintegration. Best album of all time . Stan South park. He was close.
Kyle said that
For people talking about breakups, I always thought this song was about him loving someone so broken that they died of their pain. Like they couldn't shake it and eventually their spirit either broke for good or they killed themself.
I never thought of that but now I'm going to listen to it again and try to see it that way because i got goosebumps when i read your text. Which always means something. Thanks for another perspective.
❤
Same dude. Never struck me as a breakup song.
Exactly what happened to myself and my soul mate, plus the Disintegration Album hadn't long came out when we got together on 31st January 1990 :( miss that blighter so much too but The Cure help me bring back happy memories - not sad ones. Bless you all out there - stay safe people. x
No one loves broken people. In my sad experience at least.
Man somebody please transport me back to the 80s such a great time when music had some meaning and it took some effort to produce
Someone doesn't listen to much music then
Careful what you wish for, there was a lot of absolute rubbish - and you would miss a lot of amazing music, including the Cure’s later work.
Love❤️❤️❤️
Take me with you
Music still has that today though...
yes this song hits home with such a punch of emotional pain......its no wonder we get scarred and then find it difficult to love again. great song by a great band.
I was born in the late 90’s but my heart always belonged to music from the 80’s a decade of passion, love and pain... something that you can relate too! ❤️
From John Lennon 's sad ending, to the happy fall of the Berlin Wall, the 80s was a decade of surprises.... Big History.
This just made me cry...
Yep it was the best. I was born in 84😃
I feel like the 80s paved the way for the 90s to be so great...
Ben Dover the 90s werent great
I will never forget the night John Lennon was killed. The next morning I jumped on a plane and spent 10 days in Central Park. Along with thousands of other crying fans.
I really credit songs like this, artists like this with allowing me to put to words my feelings.. even when the words don't fully express the depth of emotions, lyrics like these let me know it's ok to try.. I was so lucky to have found these songs back when they were new and popular. Before many deaths and losses and tragedies.. music is therapy for sure.
Hope you are ok dude.
" You finally found your courage to let it all go"
...Scream at the make-believe, scream at the sky"
My favorite line too! Gives me goosies.
My favorite line. It's true. Letting go is courageous. Going into the unknown is NOT easy.
My brother passed from Covid-19 and I miss him everyday .this song gives me such Good memories of you! We will reunite again❤️❤️
💙🙏🤍
When you find yourself still keeping an old memories even you trying harder to forget it all. However, life has its end. You may find the peace after you ran from it.
Robert Smith wrote a masterpiece of a song.
one of my favorite songs to romanticize my depression.
Who is listening in rocktober, 2018 ?? Long live the 80s!!
Rock on brudda
Actually just discovered this band. :)
2019 !
Almost april 2019 here!
dic 2019
I woke up humming this song. I’m trying to understand my family heart break, how i lost myself way back trying to appease the brokenness in my parents, within their broken society and norms…how I was broken through abandonment, (If only I’d thought of the right words…) and only had pictures to carry with me most of youth, and how my feelings or the story got stuck in those pictures. Now, how other pictures hold the remnants of the child I once was, who i need to welcome home within myself. This song holds it all. Thank you for the beauty in these comments and courage to let it all out, if not go! ❤
This is my first song by The Cure and being able to see how everyone relates to this songs makes me happy because I can see that I’m not the only one. I tried my best to move on because my ex told me to but I just can’t. I changed myself for her but when I showed how I changed she rejected me. I still hope to be able to be with her some day and I refuse to delete some pictures of her and to throw away certain things that reminds me of her. I just hope she sees how I changed without me talking to her :’)
You deserve so much. Don't settle for less. You're strong and mature...
Hugs...
Sonner or later u will have to move on without her bro, never change for someone no matter what
You will find the love you deserve.
I changed to fit in with the man I believed I loved, for 30 years - only to fall deeply in love with another who saw and loved the real me instantly - one day with him has sadly been worth more than the rest which came before. Don’t compromise who you are, it results in awful heartbreak.
No matter how hard I try I can't get rid of my ex's pictures I always look at them when I listen to this song especially because she loves the cure and if I'm being honest when I sing this at karaoke and I sing it with my eyes closed and picture her and the memories I have it her ..... Damn I miss her...😞😞😞
I am high right now and god damn that was deep....lol
I think everyone that loves this songs uses it to pick at old emotional scabs.
Alex Lemos tell her, it’s never too late
Alex Lemos This is the most honest comment I have read in the Internet.
@@marymagdalene5296 unfortunately no...I haven't spoken to her in a few years even though she's only two cities away from me
When every element of a song comes together perfectly, vocals & lyrics & drums & bass & guitar, this is the result.
I lost my mom to cancer last week. I feel this song in my soul right now.
The greatest band ever. The Cure
There will never by anyone who exceeds this musical, quality and your voice Rober will never be replace there is no one like it..for all my life and forever the cure✌😎😘
This music and lyrics are so beautiful and powerful, that you can't help but drawn in to the emotions this brings out of people! There's so many songs that make me feel like swaying with a lit lighter in the air as I cry. Another powerfully emotional song is "Still Loving You" by Scorpion.
First saw the Cure in the mid to late seventies. Never thought they'd go far. Wow! They're persistent talent prove me wrong. Amazing And beautiful song.
The day my brother died this song was everything
Sorry for your loss
So very sorry for your loss. Praying 🙏 for you and your family.
soooooooooo sad ........RIP............ be strong brother
So sorry for your loss 💔😥 my condolences
I'm so sorry Brian. I always loved this song but about a month after one of my oldest, best friends died tragically it came on the radio; it gutted me but at the same time it was everything. I'm so very sorry for the loss of your brother.
One of the greatest songs of all time, awesome!
Wow, that took me back quickly to a great time in my life.
Thank you for sharing and for your efforts.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! :)
Damn......
"Pictures Of You"
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel
Remembering you
Standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering you
Running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go
Remembering you
Fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you
How you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But I never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you
Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you
Thanks Paulo
How beautiful that a song can bring back so many deep memories ❤️
This is one of the most emotion evoking songs i have ever heard. So beautiful.
I could still cry when I hear this song
💖💜💪
Good to know there is another soul like me that cries at this song
Same
same here
Is this the most beautiful song ever written? The melody is haunting ❤️
Reminds me of Germany I remember when this came out I lived there so long ago. Then again in 2004 to 2008. Lost a buddy when I was in combat then a wife who just couldnt take me anymore either. Now all I got is pictures too
I love this band so much, and i'm so sad because no one I know know's them and people think I'm weird that they are my go to band for emotional times.
This was our song. She left me in the middle of the 21st night of October 2019. I found my babydoll on the bathroom floor. No life in her body. They carried her away in a bag. After 20 years of everlasting love with my honey. All that's left are the pictures. The pictures are all I feel. This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It was our song when she was away. Now she is gone forever. And this song is all we have left. And the pictures she left behind with me I love you April. Always and forever honey
Every time I listen to this song, I feel something different. This time, I feel the bitter loss of a divorce and the sweet joy of rediscovering myself. My divorce was 7 years ago. But today, for the first time, this song is both about the courage to let go and the loss of letting go. And after all these years, today I understand this was not about letting go of him but of letting go of me to become me. ✌️❤️🌻
Who's listening to the Cure in 2020 ?
We're ALWAYS listening to The Cure!
I am and I love it❤️🌹
@Cody BrysonI was born in 1977 my older brother same age as you I love different types of music also,Cure is so awesome and always will be.😊
Yes
Me always ❤️
What a truly fantastic song! I love the Cure!
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you......
My forever love.... sleep well now 💔💔💔💔💔💔
I am 58 and I've loved The Cure since I was in high school. I think of my mom when I hear this song. She left this earth 7 years ago but it feels like it's been a lifetime. Nothing hurts like losing your mother. Until I see you again mom.....💔💔💔
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
My dearest son, Alex. All my pictures of you. How I miss you, my shining star.
You nailed it Megan, this one always brings back good and sad memories... Sigh, thank you😭😂😢
Many years ago, an ex-boyfriend and I had our first kiss to this song at OSU High Street's Mother Fletchers/Purity dance floor in our half drunken state. We thought it was "our song" for a while. This eventually wasn't our only song, but we hadn't listened too closely to the lyrics or understood. After our break up a couple of years after and upon a close listen it became clear to me and, ironically, the song really hit home for how I was feeling. It was an agonizing breakup and the song depicted how our relationship was, even down to the episode when I was having a hard time one night and he had held me a long while outside while it rained. It all became just heartbreaking pictures in my mind when it was over. This song, at the beginning of the relationship, predicted how we ended up. I hadn't listened to this for many years, and it's a big flashback.
SIMPLEMENTE HERMOSA.GRACIAS
Always loved the Cure!! Great song!!! ❤
Great song! thanks for posting it Megan
of course, so glad you liked it! :)
Expressions we lost along the way, a memory of you , a glance, a forage, somehow a tenet to neither of us. I still see your smile. and then it's lost to a time that is no more. beautiful we remained, beautiful we felt, and those photos don't mean the same.
One of my favorite songs! ♥ Nice picture. :)
glad you enjoyed it! :)
The Cure is just what their name implies...they cure my sorrow with each listen
This is dedicated to my dead brother and my best friend... wish I could have one conversation
Oh my sweet son Robin...I so love you..I was broken when you left ...you loved this song ..you are awsome I would do anything for you darling.💖💜🧡💛💚💋💘
