MY FAVORITE SONG! IMAGINE BEING A BLACK MALE IN A FAMILY THAT HATED THIS STYLE OF MUSIC IN THE 1980S. I used to blast this song when it was just me and step pops at home...he hated me growing up. Thank you, 'The Cure,' you made the 1980s so wonderful for me.

After 44 years of listening I have finally made up my mind....."Disintegration" is my favorite Cure song of all time.

“It’s easier for me to get closer to heaven than ever feel whole again”😢 Robert Smith steals my heart with this song

Most underrated bassist in rock, hands down. The Cure wouldnt be The Cure without his basslines. Throw Robert Smith into a different band and his voice still shines of course, but the music wont be as groovy and special

The Cure have been the most important band to me in my life. Their music gave me hope when I was at the "bottom of the well". Such power and beauty...... I feel the tears building. Thank you from my whole heart. ❤❤

This song, this song, this song, again, forever again and again for many many years.

My depression was killing me weeks a month ago, but then I came across this song. Spoke to me on so many levels, everything he said was something that I experienced or could deeply relate to. Made me feel not so empty

Yeah, 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 Yeah, I miss the kiss of treachery The shameless kiss before I feed The stench of a love for younger meat And the sound 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 I leave you with babies and hoping for secrecy Screaming like this in the hope of sincerity Scream with 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 And 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 Making it afraid for the fear of sleep again Pushed in deep to bare bone again Take him outside like he's all on his own again Round and round and round, it's coming apart again Over and over and over Now that I know that I'm breaking to pieces I'll pull out my heart and I'll feed it to anyone Crying for comfort, 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'd leave you with babies and hoping for secrecy Screaming like this in the hole of sincerity Scream with me over and over and over I leave you with photographs, pictures of trickery And stains on the carpet and stains on the memory Songs about happiness murmured in dreams And we both of us knew how the end always is How the end always is

This song is journey from start to finish. Perfectly crafted. Sonically amazing. Still listen to it daily. Still gives me chills.

"goodbye Robert Smith... Disintegration is the best album ever!"

The consistent bass, The shattering glass, the synth and the amazing lyrics combine to make musical Perfection. Live they sound incredible to top it all off. Bravo!!!

To Johanna, wherever, and whoever you are now. It's so strange to think that this album was ours to hold in that brief and naive youth and then taught us well how the end always is.

The cure is like a fine wine, better and better over the years. Robert don’t listen to the haters every time you come to San Diego or la I will find a way to buy a ticket. I wish I capture the feeling I get at your concerts and put it on repeat forever. Truly magical. Don’t ever stop touring.

One of (if not the greatest) songs ever created!

STILL hits those high notes without a single crack. DAMN.

The synth at 3:06 gives me chills, every single time.

Mr. Smith, You sir, are simply without a doubt a Genius!!… a GOD amongst us mortals. Thank you for your music. We will always listen to your music with total loyalty. Party on Sir!

Decades later and this song still rips my heart out. Just so spectacular.

This is the best performance of this song I've ever heard.

Robert, with his relentless lyrics and the band, with their relentless sound, will not stop till you pull out your heart and feed it to anyone. Brilliant, genius, beyond belief. I've watched this innumerable times and it still guts me.

Drum and bass amazing performance 😮 All time great band

That bass line ! A masterpiece.

simply a masterpiece

I LOVED how Robert Smith ended the song! He had so much emotion in his voice! How do you even write the lyrics of a song like that????? They're so unique, poetic and descriptive at the same time! Just brilliant!

Many kids who felt out of place in school... even at home found solace in The Cure. Their musicianship, the words, Robert's sincere delivery... all adds up to more than just music. The Cure is art... and art is beautiful.

He is a musical genius! 🙏

I’m 45 years old, almost 46, and I still feel the chills whenever I listen to this song -whenever I listen to The Cure-, it’s just my perfect state of being in the world…

His voice and the whole band are stunningly spotless ❤

Sometimes a song is just so beautiful it can bring you to tears. This song still moves me as much today (Oct 2020) as it did the first time I ever heard it. Simply stunning 🍂🧡X

One of the best bands in a last 40s years. Bless them

From 1980 till now The Cure is balm for my soul

Damm. 30 years later same raw energy. Same rad hair 😂 God bless them

The simplicity of music, ask yourself how can you make such a masterpiece like this,

My favorite song of all time. What lyrics! ❤️

Oh man oh man that bass with it’s distortion 🤯🤯🤯

Life just wouldn't be the same if The Cure never existed. I'm so very grateful for them.

Pulling my heart strings again and again! Absolutely "The Cure"

Perfection

Disintegration la massima espressione dei The Cure che ci ha fatto vivire gli anni migliori della nostra vita... Quota 56 e li seguo dai loro albori e continuerò all infinito perché la loro musica penetra il DNA e ti fa viaggiare oltre l orizzonte

Imagine a kid on his first solo vacation in Canada and coming across the Cure touring for Disintegration. Such a wonderful memory of my youth. One of the things I love about this incredible song other than the lyrics is the vocals. There’s no guessing what’s being said. They’re plain and clear. Fantastic and beautiful

Watching this video I see why I've enjoyed The Cure over the years and specifically the album Disintigration. It's a primal authentic voice, not a performance, not an interpretation. No one else can do The Cure for that reason.IMO The song Disintegration is like a cathartic burst of consciousness into a place I don't belong. Love that I can go there and visit. Ty

Zakochałam się w The Cure mając 15 lat, teraz zaczyna kochać ich moja nastoletnia córka...Jesteście wieczni!!!!!

Best album than ever🖤🎵🎶

Master piece...

One of my fav Cure songs

Where the heck was I growing up in the 80’s! How could I have possibly missed this incredible group…The Cure, simply amazing 😮

i would love to see them play live i love this album

Questa è una delle più belle canzoni dei Cure, emozioni indescrivibili e intrasmissibili. Con noi da oltre quarant'anni; ad majora semper! Giuliano.

His voice still sounds amazingly the same after all these yrs...wonderful track

Recently watched it live for the first time and bawled like a baby... Thanks for this masterpiece, The Cure!

this song makes me cry always

This Song is pure magic ….

This song always gives me chills. My favorite from The Cure. This set was amazing brought me tears of happiness. Felt like I was in the crowd.

Omg crying I LOVE this track, many others too but Disintegration is a Classic.

ogni volta e' un'emozione, ogni volta e' un soffio al cuore, ogni volta vi sono grato, ogni volta e' la prima volta

Those STRINGS were written by a divine entity. Truly magic

The Cure vuelven a la carga y nos deleitan con su reciente gira conmemorativa de los 30 años de "Disintegration". La banda británica actúó durante cinco noches en el Sydney Opera House, para celebrar el aniversario del que fue su disco más vendido.El último de estos conciertos se transmitió en vivo por KZfaq y fue dirigido por el viejo colaborador de la banda Nick Wickham. Es por eso que Robert Smith, líder de The Cure ha decidido difundir recientmente tres vídeos registrados durante ese espectáculo en la Opera House de Sydney de la capital australiana: “Pictures of You”, “Plainsong” y “Disintegration”. The Cure recreó el álbum de estudio de forma íntegra y además tocaron para el público algunas canciones que se lanzaron como caras B, caso de “Delirious Night”,”Fear of Ghosts”, “No Heart”, “Esten”, “2 Late”, “Out of Mind”, “Babble” o “Pirate Ships”.Cinco shows que concluían el 30 de mayo con el último de los conciertos que fue retransmitido en directo a través de Facebook y KZfaq. Dos horas y media en las que The Cure nos recordaban su disco más memorable y que ahora se editará en formato disco y DVD. Música independiente novedades.

18......waiting for the assault (10hrs before it) on Iraq.... I still remember closing my eyes and playing this song on my Sony Walkman. One of the best if not the best songs ever

Never gets old! Love this band forever 🖤❌⭕️

Robert Smith's voice truly is its own instrument. The song is so hauntingly beautiful. It reduces me to nothing every single time.

The Cure, the best intros of Rock, by far

When we both of us knew how the end always is

In college at the radio club we had to buy this CD 2 times because we played it so much!

Its a MASTER PIECE ,The music and lyrics .In me,a goosebumps.For me the BEST song .

Absolutely astonishing. Beautiful. I can feel it in my bones.

Eravamo appena giovani e si condivideva i momenti più esaltanti della nostra vita e mentre viaggiavamo con la mente con il corpo e con l'anima, ascoltavamo la nostra "cura"

A living legend. Great video Opera House.

Concludo sempre le mie serate musicali con The Cure perché hanno segnato la mia vita e scatenano ricordi indescrivibili ❤ Ritengo che questa sia la massima espressione dei The Cure

No matter how many times I hear disintegration gets better all the time undoubtedly one of they're best songs
