I will never get my head around to how someone who has been with the same girlfriend for their entire life can write the most depressing separation song on earth.

The only problem with this song is that it ends.

The one good point of being 44 years old is I have been enjoying this track for 27 years..........

the instrumental parts of this song are really amongst the best of the 80s or any recent decade, atmospheric to the point of sounding like a drug

I want to just live inside of this song. It's beauty and tragedy both captivate and haunt me.

If this is not a MASTERPIECE i dont know what a masterpiece can be... Best song ever!!

Those who understand this song to it's core have shed tears to their core.

This entire album always made me feel as though I was floating across the ocean at night. Too dark to see where the sky meets the water, just left adrift in the calming black.

I am 61 and I cannot believe I have just last week discovered this masterpiece.

"The trick is not to have had your heart broken a million times but to break it a million times over the same thing" -RS

I wish I could meet one who could hear this song with me, and find it as intriguing as I do. A stranger even, but someone who understands how heartbreaking this is, and yet so beautiful. Going through a separation, currently very lonely. I have this song, and the hope of a better future... thanks The Cure. This is my favorite song by them.

Best The Cure song/album/era ever period.

My brain is frustratingly unable to even begin trying to explain the depth of emotion this song pulls out of me. It's a fucking masterpiece.

you can feel every single word, every single note in your skin. This its just... Perfection.-

Robert, even you are old now (I am old too now) and your hair is thin, you are beautiful, what you do is beautiful, I still love you and what you do, I and I think you are an Angel-Artist. You are a Poet in a cold world and you still help me to understand my life

I could listen to this song “over and over and over”

The title song from my favorite album of all time. I'm 62 yrs old and this song still sends chills up my spine. Absolutely fucking brilliant!

This song is for my boys. I traveled thousands of miles away. I miss you three so much. dad loves you and thinks about you everyday. I'm sorry your mom and I couldn't make it together but I will hold all 3 of you sooner than later. good night my loves

"but we both knew well how the ending would be..." that line just destroys me

Never get tired of this song

This song makes me feel comfortable to hurt. I love the cure for this masterpiece. Speechless.

i'm addicted of that guitar sound....

simon gallup coolest slinger of the bass, Roberts lyrics how does he tap in to these emotions like his heart been broken a million times. Simply a great band even better live.

Never gained popularity like other songs but this is such a masterpiece....i'm sure these lyrics are best ever written by Robert. He did gained respect (not that he looked for it. all lyrics he has ever written are coming from the depth of his heart and mind) but i'm sure he's one of the best (if not THE best) songwriter.

The bass tone sounds like it's calling from the cold depths of the underworld in the best way

Thank you Mr Robert Smith, thank you Cure...true music guys!

My fathers treachery, my mothers silent and desperate patience, the grand school gate charade, the endless, hateful white noise inside my teenage head - its as if Robert Smith was there.

Again and again this song...for many many years again;)

Everybody talks about how phenomemal is this song,, but we also have to recognize the editing of the video, it caught perfectly the song essence, follow the instrumental line and the best partes of Robert interpretation... Perfect!!

Disintegration was their best record, in my opinion. It was simply superb!

54 yrs. Here and they began my journey in understanding what making music is all about. Man bravo. The Cure. #The truth.

Such a passionate song - I love this whole album but the last 5 songs really move me the most

Still one of my fav songs of all time...

i always love live versions of songs by The Cure because i feel that the live music adds to the raw, mellow, soothing, and passionate sound that Robert Smith incorporates into his music and songwriting. The live sound compliments his music greatly and it gives a little passionate edge that has made me a long fan of his music.

Dang! Even LIVE this song is just as profound and moving. The music of this song stirs my soul even today!!

This song is a masterpiece. I listened to it everyday for 25 plus years !

the Cure are in a class all their own

Best song ever...the soundtrack of my life....

Probably my most heard song...every time, every place, with or without beer...love to hear it early on my bicycle when I go to work...what a mood in the morning! I love this song!

Oh I miss the kiss of treachery The shameless kiss of vanity The soft and the black and the velvety Up tight against the side of me And mouth and eyes and heart all bleed And run in thickening streams of greed As bit by bit it starts the need To just let go my party piece Oh I miss the kiss of treachery The shameless kiss before I feed The stench of a love for a younger meat And the sound that it makes when it cuts in deep The holding up on bended knees The addiction of duplicities As bit by bit it starts the need To just let go my party piece But I never said I would stay to the end So I leave you with babies and hoping for frequency Screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy Screaming me over and over and over I leave you with photographs, pictures of trickery Stains on the carpet and stains on the scenery Songs about happiness murmured in dreams When we both of us knew how the ending would be So it's all come back round to breaking apart again Breaking apart like I'm made up of glass again Making it up behind my back again Holding my breath for the fear of sleep again Holding it up behind my head again Cut in deep to the heart of the bone again Round and round and round and it's coming apart again Over and over and over And now that I know that I'm breaking to pieces I'll pull out my heart and I'll feed it to anyone I'm crying for sympathy, crocodiles cry for the love of the crowd And the three cheers from everyone Dropping through sky, through the glass of the roof Through the roof of your mouth, through the mouth of your eye Through the eye of the needle, it's easier for me to get closer to Heaven Than ever feel whole again I never said I would stay to the end I knew I would leave you with babies and everything Screaming like this in the hole of sincerity Screaming me over and over and over I leave you with photographs, pictures of trickery Stains on the carpet and stains on the memory Songs about happiness murmured in dreams When both of us knew how the end always is How the end always is How the end always is How the end always is How the end always is How the end always is Always is, always is

Quoting Stan and Kyle from South Park, "Thank you Robert Smith, disintegration is the best album ever!"

Best version of Disintegration.

나이를 먹으면 먹을수록 더욱 더 빛을 발하는 그룹인거 같아요. 특히 음원이랑 라이브랑 거의 차이가 없는 로버트 스미스의 목소리와 음악은 너무 매혹적입니다.

I was 18 when this song came out. Greenwich park in tears looking over London, feeling how my heart swelled to blow up and at the same time turned into a black hole. Now a man in another part of the world looking out at the world and listening to this again, with a tear and a grin. "La vida es bella" Thank you Robert, you live in the hearts of many, and yet its not enough.

THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG TO DATE!!!!!❤

No importa cuánto tiempo pase, siempre volveré a escuchar esta canción mientras siga vivo.

Even though this is sad, it makes me happy to be alive, to be able to feel every emotion without regret. Best band ever.

This honestly one of the most beautiful songs every made

Bit by bit starts the need to play it on repeat, every single time

just love this song again and again and again

This song. This is my party piece. Nothing else has ever hit my heart so much.

Was introduced to the cure when I was 13.. Disintegration came out when I was 15. I remember going to the mall and getting it on (cassette tape). Lol This song has gone from (just a really good listen ) in my teens , when I was trying to be Absolutely (( ANYTHING)) but normal .. To the Intoxicating anthem, of my Amazing, & euphoric 20s .. It was there in my 30’s .during my years of Simple contentment and joy of being a father …. went threw painful divorce after 18 yr marriage.. in my 40’s and it was there , (ready to transform, again.. by helping me remember who I was (and helped me find myself again)… Turned 50 last year… I don’t know why , but I find it almost (((( IMPOSSIBLE )))) to Listen to this song, without an Overwhelming flood of emotions, and tears……it’s not sad or happy tears.. but a little of both sprinkled with feelings of reflection, nostalgia,acceptance) etc…. I’m not sure what it all means, just Extremely Glad that life where is your little keys , gems ( like this song).. That allow you ( if only for a moment) .. Remember how it feels to feel

This song is pain and pleasure all at once. Bittersweet and beautiful.

Tears shed upon the sheer beauty of this song. Not because it's sad, because it's real and I think we could all use some come home.

No hay forma q me canse de escuchar esta versión, es tremenda🖤

The best poet with a loving heart alive! XOXO ❤️

No one has ever torn themselves to pieces so beautifully. This song is so layered and reflective. It always stops me in my tracks. Hyde park was the greatest musical experience of my life. Forever The Cure ❤️

If you don't absolutely adore this song, then you can't understand what it means to be human.

absolutely, ive been listening to this song for like 15+ yrs but still to this day i can hear it and it cuts right to the core of everything i might feel but never could put into words...he is a lyrical genius

The Cure,Pink Floyd, The Beatles, bloddy hell, England got many badass bands

This song has such depth and pain and beauty. My friend Paul hipped me to this band. Thanks @paulpomponi

Este disco me ayudó a pasar de la juventud a la madurez.

Christ. I am so in love with this band, with that man.

It was a crush, an absolute I love Robert Smith and I dream of borrowing his lipstick...and then the years pile on and this song becomes so important. " I never said I would stay till the end"...how the end always would be. Thank you for giving words to my pain.

Seen them in Leeds last nite (6/12/2022) Absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!

A masterpiece....absolutamente fantástica.

well said. they got me through losing the love of my life june 18.2008.....same girl i saw the cure sept 10.1989 the prayer tour. im thankfull we got to see them 8 months before she died at download fest in mountain view CA.......love u forever laurie. thank god for the cure.

If I were stranded on a dessert isle for the rest of eternity, and had 7 songs to listen to until eternity ends, disintegration would certainly be on the list. If not just the whole album....

One of three amazing albums they played coinciding one another on this tour. One of my fave cure songs ever.

this song is just so perfect I just cant live without it

there will never be another band like the cure ever again. This song is amazing lets not forget about "The same deep water as you" hell all there music is solid. This bands music makes me depressed as hell and wanna die but i can't never stop listening to it

The best song, the best album, the best band, the best take of this piece of History

It's easier for me to get closer to heaven Than ever feel whole again ♫

Браво! Великая группа а Роберт великий артист! Всегда вживую и ни какой фанеры!

The music. The mood. The lyrics. Melancholy at its best.

greatest band EVER, period.

omg the vocals are so good on this one ♡♡♡

5+ одно из лучших выступлений, шикарное исполнение! Шедевр!

The best line of this song is ..its easier for me to get closer to heaven than ever feel whole again

OMG the lung power he must have to do that whole pieces tot he build up to crescendo- damn!!!

The greatest cure track ever. Hits me so hard. I LOVE IT

Fans can say what they want about Porl and Reeves as standout guitar players, but Perry's sloppy left handed playing style added real character depth to the sounds of the songs that sets them apart from all other performances. This era and gong into the early 2000's was my favorite Cure lineup. When you have musicians who want to be there, it makes a difference for the better.

A magic moment captured forever ...I hope

The lyrics are deep and have personal meanings to Robert like when he says"through the eye of the needle its easier for me to get closer to heaven.."..hes referring to his addiction to heroine he was going through at that time

The melancholy and pain of this song and album is comforting when I'm going through tough times. It's like a blanket enshrouding me from my struggles

The best version of this song!

After years without hearing this song, it was inevitable I would come back to it again. Divorce is never easy. All the time and effort and sacrifices made building up and strengthening a relationship only for it to crumble to pieces and blow away with the wind. Thank God for our daughter. At least I can know that we got a precious child out of it all. But the guilt of bringing her into a broken family will be excruciating to come to terms with. Funny how the songs you listened to growing up come back to you, only this time you feel like you are part of the song.

All time favorite song on my all time favorite album

His voice is amazing live

The Cure, the best intros

Ça me transporte toujours autant même après 30 ans d écoute.

Damn I love this. So tight. An intricate song played to perfection. To live a song as the band does the song must be perfect. 'Disintegration' is.

That fucking bass!!! Played like a guitar and then the Japanese style keyboard sound, then the voice of Robert Smith!!!! the English don't have the blues, they have the cure

This song makes me forget my loneliness; every time i hear to this i feel that the sun will rise again for me.

I can’t wait to see them this year and sing my heart out w this song so much passion and so relatable 🔥🔥🔥💕💕

Killer band Killer song. Unbelievable how music can make you feel alive. Pure genius of Cure.

amazing live and one of the best songs ever i think

Just amazing. Closest thing to perfection.

8.23 of sheer musical brilliance..!! 💋💋💋 🥰🥰

I levitate with this song. Robert, how can you have so much talent! My favorite after 30 years.
