      Facts. Chino did get influenced by The Cure, but also the Smiths, and Duran Duran. The Deftones track "The Passenger" w/ Maynard is a response to Duran Duran's "The Chauffer". Listen to them one after the other w/ lyrics. 😊

      Millennial Prog-Metal Guitarist here - there are things from before my time that I absolutely latch onto (outside my Metal roots) - this song is one of them...beautiful piece. To reduce it to "RomCom" or "Chick Flick" stuff is a mistake. I'm sure they'd have the same take about things like Tears For Fears "Head Over Heels".

      @@negativeindustrial ironic enough, besides Strange Ways Here We Come this song is considered a truly talented and creative song. Everything prior to this was a completely rip off of bands like T.Rex (metal guru/panic) and The Chameleons. P.S I love The Smiths and Morrissey but we can't deny the fact that they did not create a genre or sound. Morrissey's diva persona and attitude is what really launched their career (after they broke up). So much so that Johnny has said Morrissey was the reason he left The Smiths. He hated his lyrics and felt he ruined his music writing.

      Morrissey is very easy to hate. I grew up straddling this weird fence of being an artist and musician in love with the music of the Cure and the paintings of Caravaggio who was also a carnivore that played football and building/racing cars and loved the music of Ministry. It was this odd feeling of hating everything that came out of Morrissey’s mouth while listening to his music on a date with the goth girl from my art class because it felt romantic.
      Thankfully, I found out Robert Smith despised him as a person while covering a song by The Smiths. That seemed to put my misplaced teenage angst at peace.

    Also I don't think the Chino comparison is wrong at all. The Cure are really influential after all and definitely inspired a shit ton of bands who came after. I believe Deftones have covered The Cure before, and Deftones and The Cure are playing together at a festival the 31th August. So yeah, I'd say George is right.
    Speaking of Deftones, you guys should listen to Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away).

      MTV Icon is a series of annual television specials produced by MTV between 2001 and 2004, each paying homage to a musical artist or band selected as a cultural icon, in a format similar to the network's annual Video Music Awards and Movie Awards events. A live audience of musicians, celebrities, and fans would view a biographical film depicting the career of that year's chosen icon, interspersed by celebrity introductions and live performances of popular artists playing cover versions of the icon's songs. The iconic artist would then accept an award and perform a live set of their own at the close of the show. The series celebrated Janet Jackson in 2001, Aerosmith in 2002, Metallica in 2003, and The Cure in 2004. (Wikipedia)

    Really well done lads. The Cure have been my favourite band for almost 30 years, as a friend at school lent me a copy of this exact album when I was 11 or 12... STILL my favourite album of all time, and when I feel I discovered music. Regarding Lovesong, Robert Smith wrote it as a wedding present to his wife, as they'd been married in 1988... hence the overt romance and outpouring of emotion. That being said, I think "Lovesong! It's a lovesong!" has serious potential... for when the Lost In Vegas band finally gets going. 😂 All the best lads, and cheers for the great videos.

      Early in the pandemic, a group of us did some recording from home, doing our best to multitrack over each other, and I played bass on this. It is indeed a terrific bass part. Without that, this would be a little too bleak -- which, frankly, is true of a bit of The Cure's discography.

    This is really interesting to watch with George & Ryan. The Cure have at different times of my music listening life been my favourite band and the band that probably effected me the most.
    Pretty much most times I’ve tried to play them or introduce them to a friend it hasn’t really worked and watching this is sort of similar to doing that.
    They aren’t really a band you just put on like this and listen to a song and then say “oh yes this is awesome”. I kind of even understand why they and other friends I’ve shown react this way.
    I’m not really sure how you do get into the Cure but it just happens. I heard Just Like Heaven on a compilation, brought that and somehow got hooked after a few listens and virtually brought and listened to their whole catalogue over a 5 year period after that.
    I’m not sure what I’m getting at but watching George & Ryan then I still understand why people don’t just get caught straight away but when you do the back catalogue and their career is just one of the best things a music lover can fall into.

    While this is distinctly 80s, this sounds nothing like what came before it and it's not remotely formulaic to "the 80s". What's brilliant about this song is the way it mixes contrasting elements. The drums are very bright, up and energetic, but the organ is playing this minor key, very chill, slow paced, more contemplative riff. The vocals speak of intense and comforting love, but the singer is feeling, also, the melancholy of that. But that's not sadness, it's the yearning for this love. It's somewhat like when people cry when they experience intense joy. That's what's so brilliant about this song. He's not singing the simplistic, "oh I'm so in love, look how happy I am" bubblegum pop nonsense. He's reflecting the the depth and complexity of the emotion, how intense love can leave you exposed, humbled and grateful.

    If we have finally gotten to this era and genre, give The Smiths “How Soon Is Now” a go 👍

    The Cure has a very diverse collection of work. Fascination Street, Lullaby, Pictures of You, If Only Tonight We Could Sleep (Deftones, did a great cover!) and Just Like Heaven, are some of my favs. I'd love to see your reaction to Darker by The Doves.

    Fascination Street is one my top 10 favorite songs from the Cure. Love song is on that short list as well. Glad you got some of that Cure experience. Mixed Up album is a must listen, from beginning to end.

      Love Song was their radio friendly song. Also, they play it a lot on MTV too.

    There was a cover of this in "50 First Dates".
    I love this song and I also loved the 311 cover. :)

    One of the things about the Cure is that there's often a big disconnect between the emotions of the lyrics and the vibe of the singing, Robert Smith will do a happy song that sounds depressed, and a sad song that sounds manic and cheerful.

    This is actually one of my favorite songs by the cure and it has an amazing cover by Adele (more soul/jazz) and 311 (more vibes and reggae feel) . You would probably love those versions.

    Lullaby. Every time I think of The Cure, I see lights passing through mist refracted windows and listening to Lullaby knowing no day.
