As he's gotten older he's become a living treasure. Amazing. Beautiful.

I was there. Most powerful moment of the 3 HOUR Cure set.

Only true artists can express their true feelings without worrying about critiques. We need more.

Without you it can Never be the same. Another hauntingly beautiful masterpiece by The Cure.

if Robert cries, I cry too. This song brings so much emotion that it makes me move. I have always loved The Cure, and this is one of Robert's last real gems. It is a wonderful poem.

Pure emotions and feelings makes this band what they are genious

Hard to see Robert Crying.& Honestly, I don't know How He Held It Together. God Bless Him. Courageous & a Genius. Another Great Song. Only my 2nd time hearing it. This time was better.💔🌹😊

I wish this song came out as a single, or on an album.

omg I just want to hug him 😢

love the cure forever. Their music saved my life more than once. It soothes my soul. The Cure is a fitting name for this band.

Omg his tears kill me!!.as I can relate to the loss of a loved one .he is A sweet man with feelings either his mom's passing or David Bowie it doesn't matter what the hell is he thinking of, it is about LOSS and personality went thru the same thing.!

omg! I've listened to The Cure since I was 12 and I've never felt so much pain as I just felt whilst listening to this and seeing him cry. whether it's for Bowie or his mom, it doesn't matter to me. I lost my mom two years ago and this is her song now. I love this man.

His mom just passed away . This is the best Cure song for a long long time.

This song desperately needs an album to close. Hopefully Robert can write new stuff and this can be the immense closer it needs to be.

Oh, no!! Robert has an enormous pain in his heart, the way he sings and his movements, show us his wounded soul, his deep sensibility. Those so sincered tears in front of a crowd place, and such a beautiful but sad song.... He breaks my heart. I wish Robert returns to feel happy regardless. He deserves it.

Breaks my heart every time I hear him sing this and see his pain. How he managed to get through all, singing while visably holding back the tears..

I so feel for him as I lost my husband and mom in 2 year span and it is hard for sure, love Robert Smith so much for his feelings and song!

The saddest song from The Cure yet. So good!

Robert has poured his heart out in his songs for us since the beginning through every stage of his life. No one else has ever done it like him - ever. He's entitled to feel whatever he wants... pure and complete genius. All I can say is "thank you" to Robert for giving us these gifts.

Such a gorgeous song. Sad, but gorgeous. I like the Disintegration-esque feel to it.

You can feel the pure emotion in both his singing and the song. So much feelings invested in this... Makes me want to cry. Thank you for sharing, Robert.

yeaaahhhh this song gives me all the feelings from Disintegration up to 4:13 dream.... and there is a strange feeling of Faith in it.... i didn't expect The Cure of writing such a typical stylish Cure song anymore. This is Gold, and a Bank ... don't wanna loose it anymore

This 1st of january, my greatest friend of my heart, my dad, was gone. He says "time never stops, it never comes back...". It's like an unfinished story.Thanks, thanks to Robert Smith for saving me, always, and again.God blesses him and his Family.

So sweet and I lost my husband and my mom within 2 years and it still hurts 1999 and 2001 as it is tough and I can so relate. I love Robert Smith so much for his feelings!

I know Robert was thinking of his mother while he’s singing this song and I immediately bond this song with my grandmother who passed away 7 years ago and it’s really never been the same without her it’s all changed completely and there’s no existence for a world like this again never ever again I feel the emotions that Robert felt in here and I hate it so much I love you grandma and I’ll never forget you

My dad passed away 3 years ago in 2013 and this song reminds me of him

Love The Cure always, beautiful song ❤️😘😘

for my brother Nick, 1 year ago today. no more pain. R.I.P..

Love The Cure always, this song is beautiful ❤️😘😘

I am crying watching this, so haunting . . . .

Wow oh wow. I just saw them play this live. I was very fortunate to have met, and spent a little time with Robert's parents and the band on a previous tour of Australia. They are lovely, lovely people. I wasn't aware that Rita had passed away, God bless her. Thought's to Robert, Alex and family.

Maybe the greatest Cure song ever!

So sad but the best of him ever!!

It's absolutely stunning. Seeing Robert's honesty 🌹🌹🌹💜

Timeless, fascinating artist. His music and voice are pure, authentic, emotions. Pavarotti of his genre. With love from Russia.

my soul is dancing ...

The Cure Forever!!!!!

Happy Birthday tomorrow Mr Robert Smith.The greatest man alive

This song always bring me to tears.

Amazing. That is all I can say.

I lost my mom 3 months ago, so this hits home hard.

This should be on the coming record (2020..2021..whenever). Best song since the Disintegration era.

The biggest under rated band in the world, this as many others cure's songs are music art pieces

Unbelievable performance of an unbelievable song. I said goodbye to my dad in January and this song makes me feel so much bittersweet joy in the sadness of remembering my dad and the life we knew. I've listened to the cure all my life and its such a gift, even all this time. Thank You x

che dire, talento allo stato puro, quando la musica diventa sublimazione e distacco temporaneo da sensazioni puramente terrene. Ma a questo Robert ci aveva abituato da lungo tempo...

Anyone noticed the writing on his guitar "itcanneverbethesame"? What a great, intense, emotional song. Hope it will be played in Amsterdam next November....

one of the best Cure songs ever

AMAZING!!!!RIP for yours MUM!!!

Immense respect for an artist who is carried away by his emotions, sincere and deep dictated by something very personal and important. Thanks for sharing this so exciting time with us, you are a special artist..My father died four years ago, when I heard this song have exploded in a free wept..THANKS IT CAN NEVER BE ENOUGH...LOVE LETYX

As real as it gets.

Such a beautiful soul this man has. Thank you for giving us such amazing songs with the most heartfelt words. Much love from me and my missus. 😇

November 2022 soooo looking forward to the new album. I love all the new songs. Legendary... I love The Cure and Robert Smith is the G.O.A.T. forever and ever ❤❤❤🙌🙌🙌

His tears tear me up as I feel.his pain!!

instant classic, wow.

Brave man and a positive way to try to deal with loss, I did a similar thing when I lost my father on a past album (a band I'm in) and although it was hard as hell particularly playing it live shortly after in the long run it was a cathartic experience. I hope this helps him, is a beautiful song.

what a song, what a masterpiece

yeah amazing the best band forever !!

Temazo. Uno de los mejores grupos que todavía nos quedan

The Cure4 ever.

So soft ,so pale and so cold, his mum I'm sure ....💔

😔😘Robert❤️

Thanks a lot for the lyrics. A true fan of The CURE since I was a teenager ! They are legends now. Timeless haunting sound and Timeless band !

How much do I love The Cure? It can't be quantified. Unless you factor in the decades I've listened to them incessantly and loved them whole-heartedly and have actually melted, cried, smiled, danced, and even lost a little bit of bladder control the 10 times I've seen them live in concert. And then they come out and perform a song like this in 2016, unreleased, but we hear you! We had leaks of this song on Cure FB fan group site....and we were EXCITED because we had tickets here in America and couldn't wait. No matter where we were in the world, in 2016 we were there with you Robert, we anticipated the moment, and then we finally got to hear it live. We cried with you, and now a shitty audio recording on KZfaq is all we have. WTF! Please release it on an album! I know you have had trouble and beefs with labels before. And I was totally on your side, angered with what was happening to artists being consumed by yet another cretin monopoly, but you're actually making some of your fans suffer by not doing something. Please do something and release this heartfelt song! Love you, and thank you you, XOXOXO Crystal C.

...when music words and voice melting together to one true piece of art: you can never try! you can never try! you can never try! you can never try...

Don't worry I smile..

The most beautiful comments I ever read are in this thread

ho great !!

For my sister.. I miss you so much.

I think they had better record this one, it’s got the potential to be the absolute gem of their latter career

The cure are definately one of a kind wish is rare

Very interesting new song !

One of my favorite songs of all time and this performance- to die for. Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant..,..,........all others zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!

THIS MAN HAS THIS CHARISMA!!!!!! ANOTHER GREAT SONG REMINDING US THE DISINTEGRATION ERA COME ON ROBERT MAKE ANOTHER ECORD TO BE DARK AS DISINTEGRATION OR BETYTER LIKE PORNOGRAPHY. ITS THE TIME!!!!!!!!

Dang this is beautiful footage. Thank you 🙏🏽

he's crying...:'(

That’s awesome

Another classic.........

It´s sad to see Robert ....sad !

Absolute crime that we'll likely never get 4:14 Scream.

I don't know exactly what this song is about but melodically, it really matches the sort of despair and heart aches Ive been feeling lately.

Miss you, Helle.

im going to cry :'(

OH GOD

God this better be on the very long awaited 14th album.. They've sung other new songs that Robert has said will be on it, but I haven't heard him talk about this one for a long time

I sure hope this is on the new album when it finally comes out!

Bel brano dark inedito pero'ce una versione da studio stupenda i cure sono i cure mitici👏👏🎸

Did you guys see Robert wiping his eyes at the end of the song..

♥️♥️♥️

descansa en paz mi amiga vicky

i think one or more of these guys should start their own record company, then they can release what they want, when they want and get the lion's share of the profits (as it should be for the artists). release the double 'dark album', everyone gets $1 per unit sold (Robert should get at least $2) Porl/Pearl can get paid and written recognition and credit, no one gets screwed over, music doesnt need to be lost forever collecting dust while literally several million fans are eagerly awaiting to hear it. and The Cure can live on in normalcy with a somewhat regular schedule. i would love to see the cure every week, but would be happy with buying a blu-ray of a small tour to document each cd/'era' of each new album. much less daunting than a world tour every few years. THE WORLD IS IN SERIOUS NEED FOR QUALITY MUSIC, AND THE CURE ARE PRACTICALLY THE ONLY ONES LEFT!! some of my favorite songs are (besides 'this morning') are please come home, a boy i never knew, spilt milk and ching chang chong (and of course 'it can never be the same'.) some of the best songs on the planet and they either dont exist to buy or are the worst possible quality if you can even find them. how hard is it to release all previous material and move forward? between having Roger back and now Reeves, the cure are in a really good place again, Robert's voice sounds great and has been really creative with the live stuff and collaboration stuff.... for a band this old and the quality to be so high, they are in uncharted musical history territory. if they released an odd balls cd, the double dark album, and a whole new cd and charged $20 for each of them..... i would drop $60 in a heartbeat.

❤❤❤❤❤❤

un forte abbraccio virtuale

Pure sadness

cool

Robert llora !!! :(

Poor guy must have been hurting so much :(

Robert and Simon override the sound (in a good way) but Reeve´s guitar parts are on point! I love songs that have amazing guitar parts but are very subtle and "hidden".

Can this please be on the new cure album?
