    The Cure is my all-time favorite band. I even have a tattoo of Robert Smith’s silhouette from the Boys Don’t Cry album cover. They helped a shy, awkward teenager to not feel so alone, providing a sort of companionship through their music, which is deeply layered in sound and meaning. Thank you for choosing this song and I look forward to more. “In Between Days”, “Close to Me” and “Why Can’t I Be You?” are just a few of many songs that further showcase their genius.

    @rosenfield10 Місяць тому +12

    The Cure is my 5th favorite band ever. "Boys Don't Cry" was originally released in 1979. If you guys want the true Cure experience, you should react in chronological order. They've been through many stages. Early on, they were post punk. They veered gothic, but soon crept up on very pop sensibilities. Ultimately, they are a new wave/alternative band with lots of versions to offer. React to each song on their early greatest hits compilation, "Standing on a Beach." It covers the late 70s into the mid-late 80s. I think "Boys Don't Cry" is the 3rd song on it. You guys do those 10-12 songs, and you'll be versed in The Cure's journey BEFORE hitting it big in America with "Just Like Heaven." ❤

    The song was originally written in 1979, this version is a rerecording from 1986, they also did the video in 1986. You can hear the difference especially in the bridge ('Misjudged your limits...') where they doubled his voice which wasn't in the original version plus his voice sounded a bit more squeaky in '79. This is the '79 version:

    I love that you got late 90s from this. As others have said, it was 1979. I've seen them live twice (in 1992 and again in 2023), and they closed out the show with this one both times. I think you'd love "Hot Hot Hot" and "Why Can't I Be You", both very upbeat and from the late 80s. They have SO many fantastic songs - "The Walk", "Pictures Of You", "Fascination Street", "Close To Me" and for just a FUN song, try "Lovecats."

    Originally recorded and released around 1979-80 if memory serves me correctly. Was re-released in the mid eighties as a remix, which brought them the exposure they deserved to have. They were one of these bands who were ahead of their time, and still endure to this day as a group.

    One of the first Cure songs I heard, when it just came out. Released as a stand-alone single. I became a huge fan. Love all their music. This a bit faster than the original; makes it sound a bit happier. I think this version is 1983.
    I like the original version (1979) better. This is still one of my very favorites by them. “Lullaby” was released 1989: ten years After Boys Don’t Cry. First compilation album; really first album in US. Their first album was never released in the USA. Boys Don’t Cry album is it’s US equivalent.💕

    If you think late 90’s you have proved they were ahead of their time … this was released in 1979

    ”Fascination Street” from the ”Disintegration”-album, released in 1989, is what I would call a true masterpiece in synth rock. Happy 65th birthday Robert Smith.

    Very Cool! Robert Smith is one of the most singular human beings on the planet as well as in music. The Cure have influenced and inspired almost every musician and songwriter that came after them. I recommend you take a deeper dive on them. There are so many unique, creative and beautiful songs/albums to check out. Have fun.

    Boys Don't Cry came in 1980 guys. I've been a fan since those early days. Their still music I listen to when driving.
    Have a look at Pictures of You. So much fantastic music from these guys.
    Cheers from OZ, Paul.😁📀👍❤️

    So many songs to react to by the Cure. A very large catalog. This is off of their first album THREE IMAGINARY BOYS in 1979.

    Yeah, this was their first song, so way before the 90's! You've gotta check out my favorite Cure song, In Between Days (Without You). Great, great song. Pictures of you is another good one too, that people have suggested.

    I never really got into The Cure, but around 1992-1993 I discovered their early stuff, and eventually got the Boys Don't Cry album, which was more of a compilation, and had many of the songs from their debut album Three Imaginary Boys. One of my favorites is "10:15 Saturday Night."

    Pictures of You, from 1989, Fascination Street from '89, Close To Me from '86, In Between Days from '85, The Love Cats from '84, Why Can't I Be You? from '87, and High from '92 are some can't-miss songs by The Cure to check out 👍.

    The song was from 1979. But this is the 1986 new voice mix.The young lads in the video went on to be in their own band after this. Love the cure. 🧟‍♀️⭐✌🤘🖤

    Robert Smith is 65, years old, can you freaking believe it? Damn, I started listening to the band in the 80's when he was still in his twenties, FFS. When people you watched on TV/movies and listened to over the radio records/tapes, CD's etc., get older, you know you're growing older right along with them and man does it (time) ever go by so fast!

  • @wolfhugo1
    @wolfhugo1 Місяць тому +2

    this song originally came out in 1979, but was remixed and re-released in 1986, when it became a hit. You definitely should check out "The Caterpillar" from the Cure next.

  • @patrickchilders8773

    Yes, the Cure was ahead of their time! They were considered one of the founding fathers of the Post Punk genre back in the late 70s. This is from their fantastic debut album. Jumping Someone Else's Train, Killing an Arab, 10:15 Saturday Night are also stand-out tracks on this album.

  • @garydunn5797

    It is a very colorful career they have and this is another example of their signature soundscape from the Godfathers of Goth. I hope you get to react to The Cure's Love Cats video if you want something completely different from the early 80s that shows their humor and showmanship. Instead of the stage show versions all over UA-cam, go find their actual official Love Cats video that's a mixture of spooky, smart, silly, and fun. It has upbeat Vaudeville Tin Pan Alley type humor with a spooky Goth vibe. The Love Cats video shows them in their earlier younger days with shorter hair and gives off a similar vibe as the Lullaby video about spiders except it's funnier and more upbeat but within that same Cure genre of Goth.

    This was actually '79 but it does sound a lot more modern than 1979 but..... If you listen to the way the melody is composed it does sound older than late 90s, it sounds more mid 80s but it's one of those songs that is very hard to pin down to a certain era which is why it never seems to date.

  • @robbielux8353
    @robbielux8353 Місяць тому +1

    This song was released in 1979 actually off their first album Three Imaginary Boys which is considered a post punk album..this is also likely their most popular song even till today. Your kids would probably love this song..for some reason it resonates and seems to relate with the youth of every generation..maybe because Robert smith was about 19 or 20 when it came out..but play them the original version from the album

  • @miriamswellspring
    @miriamswellspring Місяць тому +1

    My #1 favorite band! This song had a huge resurgence when the film with the same name was released in 1999.
    Please check out “Why Can’t I be You” for a fun, poppy love song. It’s my favorite Cure song.
    For more “haunting” music check out Into the Trees, Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, Burn, One Hundred Years.
    Thank you for revisiting them.

    Two of my favorite Cure songs are Charlotte Sometimes and A Forest, but you really can't go wrong with any of it. Whenever I think of the Cure I also think ofthe Smiths due to the rivalry between the two lead singers. I think they deserve another listen by you two. A few of my favorites are This Night Has Opened My Eyes, Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before, and Half a Person.

    Crazy that your guess was 20 years out, it transports me back into the late late 70's/80's indie/goth scene which was just amazing in the UK, such a great time, it's weird as I would never call myself a Cure fan, but at the time I owned all their albums, they were just essential listening, I was listening to 'The Wedding Present' earlier, have you reacted to them? They were an awesome 80's Indie band.

    ❤This is from 1979 and is timeless. The Cure influenced so many bands. They did a very cool cover of The Beatles Hello, Goodbye. It is on the Art Of McCartney 2014 album that has top tier bands covering McCartney songs. Billy Joel covers Maybe I'm Amazed 🔥🔥🔥
