He drowned his heart with his love for his wife. It’s not a breakup song, just praising his love for his wife.
At that point they weren't married, but yeah...
Perfect song.
All the nuances and delicate ballet of the love dance, this song. Love the Cure and Robert Smith lyrics (and sound)
Exactly. He just loves her. He drowned his heart with her love!! 😍😍
@@alukuhito
I apologise for finding your comment a year later and commenting on agreeing with you.
Mary Poole is her name and they were married in 1988.
Culture Club, The Cure, New Order, Depeche Mode, Siouxsie, and Pet Shop Boys (amongst a plethora of other 2nd British new wave/Goth bands) filled up my teenage angsty years.
I like how she's like "this isn't a club beat" but this got steady rewinds at alternative dance clubs all over. It's very danceable.
This IS his voice and it's iconic! It's about his wife - they have been married for so long and an inspiration to many!
Adventureland!!!!!!
Sounds like he just woke up. 😂
This video review is so good it was like hearing this song for this first time again. I'm all teary haha
You better listen to it a few more times dudes.
Per frontman Robert Smith's analysis of the opening verse ("Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick"), the line is both a reference to his love of performing magic tricks in his youth and "about a seduction trick, from much later in my life," Yet, overall, the song has a very specific meaning about a very specific person. According to Songfacts, in an interview with Blender in 2003 Smith said that the song is about his wife Mary Poole and their star-crossed love as flatmates in London during the '80s. "The song is about hyperventilating - kissing and fainting to the floor," Smith told Blender. "Mary dances with me in the video because she was the girl, so it had to be her. The idea is that one night like that is worth 1,000 hours of drudgery."
For the ballad about Smith's muse, the band was given a lot of input from Mary herself (as well as the girlfriends of other band members) before the final version was cut. In fact, many of the band's flames hung out during recording sessions and critiqued the music: "The girls would sit on the sofa in the back of the control room and give the songs marks out often," Smith told Rolling Stone
The Cure is my absolute favorite band (I was a 90's Goth, and still hold it in my heart and style of dress now).
I was a rocke(as my name here says), but loved the whole 80s music scene. The Cure was a "guilty pleausre" for a lot of my rock friends.
My first taste of the Cure was on cassette. Staring at the Sea. It was a musical revelation.
Funny how creative bands are during their drug-manic days.
I'm so glad that you're exploring the "alternative" side of the 80s. There's so much to discover and enjoy. If you want to react to more from The Cure, I'd recommend their more commercial songs like "The love cats", "Close to me" & "Inbetween days".
Imagine Brad listening to Love Cats 🤣
Lullaby
Definitely. Close to me would be my favourite of those. Id also throw in Pictures of You.
Friday i'm in love
@@razor6552 The best Cure song. Closely followed by 'Close to me'
The Cure has THE BEST love songs. Check out "Pictures of You", "Friday I'm in Love", "Boys Don't Cry" and, of course, "Love Song"
You didn't mention "Catch" which is one of the greatest love song ever written surely.
Letters to Elise
Pictures of you will instantly send me into a nostalgia spiral. excellent song
Mint Car
One of my favorite love songs ever
Friday I'm in love is their worst song so much better cure earlier stuff
"I love how he sounds like he just woke up" ... as a Cure fan for 30 something years, that line made my night 😂
Wait until they hear “Lullaby” 🤣
@@negativeindustrial 😂
@@negativeindustrial Yess!
Excellent 😂
That sums up the cure
Disintegration.
Robert Smith, the vocalist, sounds like this pretty much all the time. He is musical genius and I have been listening to the Cure since the early 80s as a kid...
You should really do more of their tracks...I think you'll get them more and more...Check these out:
Close to Me
Pictures of You
Boys Don't Cry
In Between Days
A Forest
The Walk
A Forest!
lovesong?
Yep 👍
Unavailable B-Sides🤟❤️
From the edge of the deep green sea!
The synths & piano on this little tune ARE heavenly.
The Cure is great!!!!
The Cure 'are' great
This was a top 40 pop song that had no chorus and a nearly minute long intro. Pretty nifty achievement if you ask me. This song has a bit of a mandela effect with me, because it feels like really should have been used as an iconic song from an iconic 80s film, and yet it wasn't. But I'm pretty sure you could throw this on to the end of any teen, coming of age, or romance movie from the 80s and it would fit perfectly and make a great ending song.
@Jeff Whiteside I'll have to check out that movie. Or at least the version from it.
Love Lex's Robert Smith impression🤣! Was never a huge fan of the band's entire catalogue, but bought this LP in the late 80's, as the whole thing was 🔥 (like this one). Pretty sure you guys will find that New Wave is a very broad, diverse genre. Everything from, post punk, techno, guitar based, alternative dance, neo-psychedelia, etc. I noticed some downbeat tracks were winning the polls during the stream, but there are plenty of super high energy bands/tracks to choose from. Hope you guys continue to delve into it!
Listen to A Forest by The Cure if you haven’t already!!
yes
Love that 1 as well.
You need to do Disintegration by The Cure, love that song.
The wohle Disintegration album is so perfect, one of the best albums ever made.
@@_Shadoh_ I concur, but I was actually just thinking of the song...but it's whatever, I'd watch it, just saying. Lol.
@@_Shadoh_ It's a superb album, from the subwoofer pounding atmospheric opening of Plainsong to the melancholy untitled final track. The only problem with recommending a single track off Disintegration is that it almost feels like something is missing. The whole album really is a package experience, like Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. "Time" or "Pictures of You" are excellent on their own but they gain something from being heard as part of the whole.
Check out The Cure - Pictures of You
One of my all time fav bands. I graduated HS in "92. Bought Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me on cassette when it came out and wore it out in my "Walk Man". So many great songs. Enjoy this fun rabbit hole!
Kiss me kiss me kiss me was my first Cure album. I own every one now. I find that only certain types of people “get” their music and they, for me at least, are too few and far between here in Kansas. I’m going with Bloodfowers as my favorite with Disintegration as a close second. I can’t wait for the new album to come out!
oh yesss.& disintegration wz soooo frigging awesome too
Possibly, the greatest band of the 80's with dozens of hits, and a unique and influential sound.
the smiths were slightly better but the cure is pretty close
Echo And The Bunnymen have to be in that list too
@@clololown the smith are not a musical reference. The Cure, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Joy Division are references.
@@gothafrogs5003 o0f course they are, the smiths ended the gay synth pop bullshit of the 80s
Not quite "dozens" of hits. Frankly, not many "hits" at all, at least in the US. It's why they were known as an alternative band. Only 1 top ten hit on Billboard charts and only about 5 or 6 in the top 50. But they have sold around 30 million albums.
Boys Don't Cry, Love Song, Friday I'm In Love, A Letter To Elise
Need to react to those too.
Lalabye to me..
The Cure is the only band that I would actually the cd (album or cassette tape) insert and carry around just to read the lyrics…they read like poetry. Plainsong, Fascination Street, In Between Days, Prayers for Rain, Pictures of You, Open, Letter to Elise, To Wish Impossible Things, Apart, etc…. all great songs. These guys almost made heartbreak worth having…
Every Cure song is a poem and a story...
This is a great first intro to The Cure.
One of the top modern rock bands of the 80', 90's and beyond. Yes, you will find some of their lyrics a little on the strange side. Other bands to check out are Siouxsie and the Banshees, Psychedelic Furs, Cocteau Twins and Slowdive.
The Psychedelic Furs latest album Made Of Rain is great stuff.
Nice list
Cocteau Twins are incredible, such a big catalog as well
Not rock tho. Darkwave is the genre.
Your music mirrors your mind
The band is actually called Siouxie Sue and the Banshees You're forgetting the Sue part
"Close To You", one of my favorite songs from The Cure. Lex will love it and giggle her way to the music! 🎶🤭
The Cure Fascination Street, is my absolute favorite. The bass line is kicking.
'I don't know what the song is about'.... because you never listen to the words!
I remember picking up goth girls in clubs in the 80s when I was a teenager, they all loved the cure so hey, went home to the guitar and learnt the songs. If it wasn't for girls I probably would have spent the 80s and 90s playing nothing but metal, 😊
John Lennon said he started playing music to get girls.
@@sonnybarry it really does work. ;)
@@zoeherriot it depends, no girl gets turned on with thrash metal shredding, the lady's like more meaningful songs, something with soul and melody, and since so much music is so emotionally expressive being a competent musician is definitely an automatic advantage when it comes to attracting girls,
@@Kipperbob Well, I played mostly selections from the catalogs of The Cure, U2, Smiths, Doors, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, The Church, etc - but I was also happy to learn a new song if I thought a girl liked it. Again - worked a treat. ;)
The Cure were known for dark, moody, goth songs early in their career and then Robert Smith decided to do a 180 and start writing more positive, upbeat songs. Of course they were still in their own, unique goth style.
Technically they were at least as upbeat on their debut album (released in 1979, with almost nothing remotely close to dark, moody, nor gothic) as most of the stuff in the 80s. It was on their second through fourth albums (respectively "Seventeen Seconds", "Faith", and "Pornography") that they became known for the dark, gothic, and moody music (although on everything but "Pornography" - which was their darkest album, by far), you could still find some positive and upbeat vibes mixed in with their music.
As far as styles, both "Disintegration" in 1989 (their 9th original studio album) and "Bloodflowers" in 2000 (12th original studio album) were throwbacks to the so called gothic period (so called because Robert Smith has categorically denied on multiple occasions that they were ever a gothic band). Robert has specifically said that "Bloodflowers completed a triumvirate along with "Pornography" and "Disintegration" (he actually used a different word than triumvirate, but I can't recall what it was at the moment, and that word basically expresses his meaning).
Even on all of their other albums, there has been a mixture of styles and themes, and both upbeat and moody can be found (to some degree or another), with "Head on the Door" (7th original studio album) probably having the greatest mix of positive, upbeat and dark/moody themed music. Robert is one who has never been held down by conventions and popular sentiments, so he creates what he wants when he wants (even when it goes against the bands so called image or style).
They never did a 180 degrees turn, thats a myth .. they had and still have both styles. if you ever been to one of their concerts you should known that. They still perform songs from both "genres". They started more upbeat, continued more dark and gloomy (but still had upbeat songs), became more upbeat again (yes its true that they wanted at one point to show the world that they are not as dark as people thought) and then continued somewhere in the middle.. it was never a 180 degrees turn, they were in both sides all the time.
@@jaynagerber7474 I'm guessing the word you're looking for is "trilogy"
@@Craven01 Never said they didn't, But I do remember an interview where he said he made a conscious decision to not do so many dark songs, or works to that effect. I don't remember exactly since it was a while ago, but he felt they were being pigeon holed as a dark goth band.
@Marcus Agreed, he balked at that stereotype. And some of the more upbeat songs were a result of that. I wish I remember the interview where he talked about it but I don't.
One of my most favorite songs after 53 years on this planet. Takes me back to high school.
The Cure are an amazing band you really should listen to “A Forest” it’s a big fan favourite, more indie 80s please
Robert Smith from the Cure his voice is unique listen to a few more of their tracks & trust me you'll love them
The cure "Close to me " :)
1) I LOVE The Cure. Well done.
2)Robert Smith played guitar for Siouxsie and the Banshees for a bit and is well known as having been inspired by that experience
Isnt this like a teenage 'why dont we run away together' song?
For more Cure, Lovesong and Lullaby
The cure are fucking amazing. - he’s just talking about someone you love not being near you. Not literally seperated by a body water
The singer always looks like he just woke up.
God I miss the 80s.
He Loved his Wife forever...no break up
Deep Love, Punk Love....watch their videos of their songs on stage....
They didn't separate. The more you Watch the Cure the more you can't stop
The entire album 'Pornography' is worth a listen. The most accurate musical depiction of a nervous breakdown ever recorded. It is truly a beautiful haunting masterpiece.
It's definitely a lot darker than this song :)
I don't think they would be into Pornography tho
You have to check more of the cure! one of the best 80s bands if not the best
Might be a waste though…. Great music doesn’t seem to register with them and just goes way over their heads.!
@@27Finbarr Yeah, some enjoy music more than others
Definitely worth exploring a few more Cure tracks,They were certainty a bit different.
I'm not a huge The Cure fan, but this song has been on my playlist for years.
The Cure is my all time favorite band!! This band transports me to a different place. I decide which mood I am in and then pick the album that fits and listen from start to finish. Disintegration album is epic.
Yup.....exactly
This is from last years 1st new wave stream (Around Jan/Feb 2022) .
Yall were going to start off with donor's song (a Blancmange song if I recall), but chat wanted to go with this one instead.
The Cure is one of my favorite bands. I recommend The Lovecats.
The Cure are arguably the most successful goth band ever.
Also worth checking a lot of their other songs, I'd specially recommend The Caterpillar, it sounds like nothing you've ever heard before.
Not goth in any shape or form... because of his hair.. goth music is far darker.. the cure is very commercial alternative.
@@jaycordner3890 and here it is, as expected, some rando gatekeeper had to come and claim that they can't be considered goths because they've had success.
@Marco Lopes Robert Smith left Siouxie and the banshees... they were goth. What is goth about the cures sound??? Its far to commercial and more like alternative because he looked the part. Listen to Bauhuas, Siouxie and tell me they sound similar. I like The Smiths but they ain't no goth band... that's for sure. And yes I grew up with the British culture. This was in my teens.. I ain't no rando and know a s... load about punk,SKA,goth,synth,pop,industrial, grunge etc.
I’ve seen them several times in concert. Excellent band.
I love your metaphors ("like he just woke up")! Always perfect. If you liked this side of the 80s, I'd love to hear you react to "I Melt with You" by Modern English.
Robert Smith, such a great songwriter, up there with Lennon and McCartney in my books. An ability to write the perfect pop song like this and then write something like Fascination Street, Pictures of you or Last day of Summer. The man is a genius. If you enjoyed this track, check out Friday I'm in love, Mint Car, Boys Don't Cry, Inbetween Days, and Close to me.
Robert Smith had a great way of putting dark lyrics to upbeat tunes. The Cure are timeless. More please.
Great track. I think the separation is the singer being on tour, and wishing he was home with his wife.
I've always loved it because it's whimsical. I also think it's a sad song of finding love and losing it and having a hard time with no longer having it. Btw that's Robert Smiths singing voice. I love so many of their songs. A Forest, Pictures Of You, Why Can't I Be You, A Letter To Elise, Never Enough, Lullaby, Boys Don't Cry, Catch, Burn, Close to Me, Lovesong, Fascination Street, Friday I'm In Love, Hot Hot Hot, Let's Go To Bed & The Walk.
Back in the day (80'S) music set for radio. Not so much computers. Back in the day you listen to whole albums.
While you're in alternative 80s mode, try some All About Eve and some Icicle Works.
Lol. This channel is great but sometimes they overthink stuff. It’s just a love song. One of the greatest love songs written.
I totally missed you guys doing this! Appreciated. Just Like Heaven is my favourite song ❤️
Most of The Cure's music is dreamy, I love it!
React to ‘Inbetween days’ next, one of the best layered instrumental intros imo
Cute little pop number by everyones favorite goth band the CURE. He know looks like everyones Aunt Edna, however, live, his voice is excellent and good as it was 40 years ago - a real treat.
When he was really young he looked like Ben Affleck :)
The cure 🖤🖤🖤🖤
“Boys Don’t Cry,” has to be the next Cure song!!!!
Lexi should dump Brad, he is an albatross around her neck
By far the best band of the 80s. And best performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ever (many decades later). OMG, all good lyrics are poetic (metaphorical, symbolic, allegorical, etc.).
The Cure was definitely an 80's icon of Alternative Rock.
I love the incredible guitar in the left ear of my headphones coming in and out.
The Brat Pack era summed up in one sound.
This song was definitely on my post-wedding playlist. And I got married in 2009. Timeless stuff right here.
Finally the Cure! Love them, please do more songs!
The Cure reminds me of my early 20s..... this chit never gets old.....
Yes! I know! ❤️80’s alternative!!!! Ever heard of Orange Juice?!?!
If y’all are doing 80’s dance/alt, I TRIPLE DOG DARE y’all to do anything from Lords of Acid. Preferably “I Sit on Acid”, but anything from them will do.
This is the song and album that made them worldwide stars
It is about distance neither of them wants. His dream is disrupted by his trip away from her... now (probably) flying in a jet over the ocean, the realty of work and distance drowning the dream, but she's deep inside of him, anyway, so the dream of all dreams, their love, lives on.
They were a Goth band that broke into the main stream.
I’ve been listening to The Cure for more than 30 years and have never heard anybody say Robert Smith sounds like he just woke up. You’re right, by the way..
This is my wife and my song from the first time we dated back in the 80's. She was 15 a punk/goth and I was 18 a jock, she introduced me to the underground scene and music. I became a closet punk/goth! still listen to this music today!!!!
A classic from my young teenage days
Do you check out these songs videos when you get off UA-cam after since they block them? You guys would love them. You need to if you don't 😁👍👍👍👍🤟
My favorite band for the last 36 years, I have seen them live 18 times. All of their songs are great!
In fact the earliest iteration I’ve heard of “The Cure” was this ironic punkish vibe about things about pedophilia and trying to sound smart by using Sesquipedalian verbiage
The Singer Robert Smith wrote this "Love" Song for his wife and is a beloved tune for THE CURE Fans to this day!
I saw him for this concert. He was also in Siouxsie and the Banshes, The Glove, and produced other bands like And also the Trees and the The Cranes.
Their song 'Primary' typifies the 80's sound even though I think it was one of their earlier late 70's song.
I was not a huge fan when I first heard them in the 80's. I really was more into the older stuff and music that originally did not get on the radio. More alternative stuff. I have since developed a deep appreciation for their musicianship since. They are now one of my top bands where my appreciation continues to grow with every new listen. Not just another synthesizer band that was so common in the clubs at the time. I find his vocal style offers a great deal of emotion into the songs. You should defiantly check out more from them. The early stuff is dark and goth in nature turning more poppy and mainstream in their following works. I'm sure they were influenced by others like Bauhaus, Joy Division, Suzy and the Banshees and probably David Bowie as well.
They originally came on the scene at the same time as both Joy Division and Siouxsie and the Banshees, as The Cure originally formed as "The Easy Cure" in 1976. So at most they were contemporaries (although contemporaries can still influence each other, to some extent or another).
Bauhaus actually came later (forming in 1978), while David Bowie actually debuted far earlier, in 1962 (although he re-emerged in 1972 as Ziggy Stardust, which actually might have influenced Robert and the rest of the band before they formed).
Of the four that you mentioned, three along with The Cure (outside of Bowie) were considered to be part of the post-punk movement; other labels (like gothic) didn't come along until far later into the 80s.
Did you like their album Pornography? I didn't really grow up with The Cure at all, so was only aware of their poppier songs like this one, and I still like those radio-friendly Cure songs, but I didn't discover their darker stuff until much later in life. Which is probably a good thing, because it's a lot more impactful now I'm sure. When I discovered Pornography (the album, for those not aware lol) it was life changing for me, and still feels like some of the most moving and emotional music I've ever heard, although certainly not easy to get into at first listen.
Give Jesus and mary chain “just like honey” for quintessential 80’s mood music a try
Oh The Cure nice! Club music back in the days '80s and '90s. New wave 👏 goth punk type. Brings me back to my youth. Roller skating days
Written & Recorded As A Wedding Gift To His Wife,, The Cure "Lovesong"
You gotta listen to the Cure's 'Pictures Of You', if you haven't already heard it.
LEX YOU KILL ME! 😅😂🤣😅😂🤣 HE SOUNDS LIKE HE JUST WOKE UP!!!!!
One of the greatest pop songs ever written.
Lex you are converted to proper music. It's official.
It's funny that you said that he sounds like he just woke up he actually looks like he just woke up.
Cure deep tracks that are a must: the exploding boy and a few hours after this.
Man I was really into the cure as a kid.
The word you guys are looking for to describe the Cures sound is Lush. It’s the most commonly used word to describe all that glorious sound mixing together and all somehow fitting into your ears at once.
One of my favourite songs! Never got tired of it even after some 30+ years.
ahhhh... thank you for reacting to this one. It's one of my favorite songs.
i love me some the cure! the early years were kinda dark but if liked them not really if that makes since.
