Yes, father, mother and brother (around 2019). One of the new song (I can never say goodbye) is dedicated to his brother Richard, and the others are clearly influenced by this dark period: Alone, Endsong, A fragile Thing, another happy birthday. It explains why he gets so emotional by singing Endsong particularly. So to get back to the first comment, it seems that sadness is a driver for his inspiration…

A Forest is it for me - a rare work of art. A sparse mysterious poem overlayed on top of an absolute genius set of guitar tracks that take you on a trip deep into the woods of your own psyche. Robert Smith must have been inspired by an incredibly powerful force to write it. I’ll never grow tired of listening to it.

I'm 61 years old and just found the Cure. In 1980 when Boys don't cry I was graduating high school and headed to college. I was busy with life and the Police, Kenny Rogers, Michael Jackson, kC and the sunshine band and Elton John. Now in 2023 with no real good contemporary Pop/Rock I am loving the cure New Order and Depeche Mode. Sorry I missed them the first time. I think life got in the way. Funny how a pension frees your mind.

The Cure really have an amazing back catalogue at this point. They can play for 4+ hours and every song is killer. They were great from the very beginning: '10.15 Sat Night', 'Accuracy', 'Grinding Halt' from their first record are all superb, and deep cut 'Meathook' from that record is hard to beat even now for its flat out weirdness. I was hoping that Rick was going to cover 'Primary' from their 3rd album for its twin bass attack!

Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me is a seriously slept on Cure album. Except for "Just Like Heaven" and "Why Can't I Be You" it mostly gets overlooked, but is packed with interesting songs, especially for shoegazers. "The Kiss" and "Fight" have great pace and anger. "If Only Tonight We Could Sleep" is mesmerizing, searing, sparse, and economical. Guitar tone on "All I Want" is insane. "One More Time" and "A Thousand Hours" for the perpetually melancholy like me. It definitely deserves more attention.

I can testify it’s 100% true that Robert Smith records multiple layers of the same guitar part to put them all together. At least I saw him doing so when he was recording Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me at Miraval Studio. Each layer has a small different tune from each other. The result was phenomenal and a unique sound that no effect could replicated at that time. He’s a real genius who plays in a different league from any musician I’ve seen in my career.

Like Rick, I was a college freshman in 1980. Cassettes and boom boxes. In my freshman year, I was at a small party, and heard music that was nothing like the 70s. For weeks after, I asked everyone that had been at the party, “who sings those ‘again and again and again’ and ‘drip drip drip’ songs?” I didn’t get my answer for years. I embraced all the new wave alt rock music and really loved the Cure, still not knowing their first albums. Then in 1987 a roommate put a CD in her portable stereo; I had never heard Why Can’t I Be You before, and I beelined to her and asked “Who IS this?” I was hooked. Soon after, I made the trip to a city and found a record store and bought earlier Cure albums. It was then I found the answer to my ‘again’ and ‘drip’ question, which I’d forgotten. The Cure has been my favorite band ever since I listened to Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me and previous albums. I got my late-husband into The Cure with that album; he was playing an 80s gig in 2013 and wanted my advice. He hadn’t really listened to The Cure much before, and ended up picking JLH. Of course! The Caterpillar is one of my favorite Cure songs, but how can anyone pick just one?

I've always been a fan of serious, melancholy lyrics over happy pop music (the Smiths, echo and the bunnymen) it seems contradictory, but The Cure are great at it. Now tomorrow I might choose another one of their amazing songs, like A Forest or Lullaby, or Let's go to bed, or Hot hot hot or...............

One of their most underrated songs is "M". Watch the early live versions of it. Absolutely badass bass in that song.

Francis - I was at those shoes as well. NY shows have been a goldmine for rare gems. I would have loved to see one of Sydney shows where they did all of Disintegration with b-sides, Pirate Ships, Delirious Night, No Heart and Esten…. This Twilight Garden was so amazing I was hoping it would become a set staple.. I’m glad Burn became a set regular, but there’s so many great gems they played in 2016 that they dropped this time around.

Thank you, Rick! You make me somehow re-appreciate the songs that I've been loving for decades and still do. The great thing is you explain WHY they are so beautiful and having gained a small amount of musical knowledge at last I understand...🤗🙏

I was fortunate enough to see The Cure inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2019 and Robert Smith was so humble. He preferred to spend the time they had on stage performing instead talking, so he gave a quick acceptance speech and then they rocked out with FIVE songs! I think only three made it on the HBO televised version and they cut out A FOREST! Thankfully you can find clips of it on KZfaq.

Until you hear that one piano note that repeats for the whole eight minutes and then that’s all you hear. However, what many don’t realize, the crazy solo is Robert not Porl. Such a good guitar player.

Robert Smith is such a f* good poet that I can't barely breath when I listen to some songs. They take me to my early teenage years when everybody used to think that I didn't understand the meaning of the songs but I did. They still touch me deeply.

13:10 or so, my favorite comment: "Everybody needed to know how to play back then". LOL - so true. Great fun hearing your takes on bands, The Cure also one of my faves. Saw fall 1981 in Austin TX, only 250 people, what a transcendent show.

It's definitely one of the finest The Cure tracks, all the more iconic as not included on Wish while having all the atmospherics of seminal dream pop songs of the early 1990s. A proper gem.
