For a kids band, they're, like, rlly good

I just realised. The boys are at the front, but the shadows are of the men. So cool

44 years later, it's still one of the greatest songs of all time.

the cure isn't a band, they're a feeling.

The Cure: boys dont cry Me while listening to the song: *cryes*

As a teenager in the 80's I was obsessed with the Cure, I dyed my hair black and played their cassette in my Walkman until the tape broke lol. Still love them now even though I'm nearly 50

Song was released in June of 1979. That is 44 years that this song has been out there for millions to enjoy.

- I honestly think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

Girls locker room: crying Boys locker room: not crying

I went to their concert tonight! When they played this song I got the biggest goose bumps and couldn’t stop smiling and dancing. Thank you The Cure for an amazing night 🖤

The Cure were always the soundtrack for those that were longing for more out of this life without knowing exactly what that was.

So far, music is the closest thing we've got to a time machine.

I don't know what's Corona virus but this is The Cure 🖤

The freaking Cure, man. There's never been anyone like them and never will be again.

I am 62 and just discovering Robert Smith and the Cure. I can't get enough of them. Their instrumentation is just SO complicated, catchy, and just interesting overall. I see they are still touring and so if they get near mid-Ohio I am there.

My dad played The Cure as I was growing up, 37yrs old now and I still love them! My dad recently passed away from cancer, so this brings back so many happy memories ❤️

8 years ago a close friends son shot himself. Outwardly Marc was a well adjusted young guy that had everything to live for. Unfortunately we found out after the fact that this wasn't how he felt, but boys don't cry or show any emotion, how often have we been told to "Harden up" Boys it's ok to cry, it is ok to ask for help and show emotion. Listening this and thinking of you Marc.

I hope all the men and boys in the comments are doing alright, you‘re allowed to cry. Please show your emotions. YOU MATTER

Robert turns 65 today! Congratulations to a great musician, poet und an living icon! We are always in love with you, not only on friday/s!

Me and the boys don't cry

I just learned that the first boy I ever kissed at 14 died last year. He was 56--far too young. It wasn't a love affair--in some ways, much more important. It was a sweet, childhood love. I knew his family, and they have also ALL gone to be with the Lord. Thank you Ted for introducing me to love/life/adulthood. Rest in peace dear heart.

Nowadays anyone can clearly see that these lyrics is a criticism against toxic manliness. Such a genius song

1:26 i love robert just dancing in the back

Boys don't cry... but I do everytime I hear this song

I'm 18 and discovered this recently, there is such amazing music out there, people of all ages can connect with this type of beauty, it brings unity.

30 years after one of the best songs of the late 20th century. A musical masterpiece, without a doubt.

England produce the best bands that's for sure 👌

I am 25 years old Japanese. i love this song

The Cure is without a doubt an international, global TREASURE. They are one of the most original and creative bands ever formed. I LOVE The Cure. There are no artists today that can match The Cure’s sound and creativity. They are truly amazing.

There i was, thinking i was having an unique human experience. Then i see these guys, singing about my life, 23 years before i was even born. Lesson learned.

*[Cries in boy]*

England. Food: Shit. Bands: Amazing.

Anyone listening in 2024?

This is one of my dad's favorite song. He is only 51 yrs old and he died 18 days ago due to his cancer and until now I still miss him. so when I'm sad I play this song but I don't cry. Thanks for the love and a lot of advice when you were alive. Advance Happy Birthday to us this coming march 22. You will always in my heart forever. I LOVE YOU

This song is for people who need to cry but can't. We are all gonna make it, don't worry

この曲が一人ぼっちな僕を何回泣かせてきたの数えきれない

The best post punk tune ever!!!

boys maybe don't cry, but real men cry

I would say I'm sorry If I thought that it would change your mind But I know that this time I have said too much Been too unkind I tried to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I tried to laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry I would break down at your feet And beg forgiveness, plead with you But I know that it's too late And now there's nothing I can do So I try to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I try to laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry I would tell you that I loved you If I thought that you would stay But I know that it's no use That you've already gone away Misjudged your limits Pushed you too far I took you for granted I thought that you needed me more I would do 'most anything To get you back by my side But I just keep on laughing Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry 'Cause boys don't cry

2O YEARS OLD , GREEK STUDENT IN MANCHESTER. THANKS ENGLAND FOR THE BEST 5 YEARS OF MY LIFE.

Busted this myth, results are in guys, boys indeed do cry 😁. I'm someone who very rarely cries, only when I lose someone very close(funeral). Been having a hard time lately just listening to this song after some time and not realizing I even cried I feel a tear on my cheek, felt such relief like the tear weighed a 100kg.Thankful for this song, punk is not dead and boys DO(n't) cry. Hope all of you people win the battles you don't talk about. ❤️‍🩹

THE LYRICS I would say I'm sorry If I thought that it would change your mind But I know that this time I have said too much Been too unkind I tried to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I tried to laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry I would break down at your feet And beg forgiveness, plead with you But I know that it's too late And now there's nothing I can do So I try to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I try to laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry I would tell you that I loved you If I thought that you would stay But I know that it's no use And you've already gone away Misjudged your limits Pushed you too far Took you for granted Thought that you needed me more, more, more Now I would do most anything To get you back by my side But I just keep on laughing Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry Boys don't cry

boys don´t cry, real men do if it feels right. the cure 4E! fav band of all times.

Thank you Robert for standing up for your fans! 💚

when i first listened to this song, i wanted to show my older brother because i thought he would like this song. when he listened to it, he burst out crying and laughing at the same time. he felt so ashamed for crying, and i told him thats the reason why i showed him this song. to tell him its okay to cry, and let his feelings out. ill always be there for him, to be a shoulder to cry on.💗

Robert said that boys don't cry, but this early morning, I couldn't hold back my tears listening to this song. It's a terrible feeling to feel alone, but at least I have The Cure. Thank you for existing

F R.I.P. ANDY The boys are crying now.

released in 1979, foreshadowing the musical greatness of the 80s

Saw them in a concert at Chicago two days ago... Will never forget that feeling and experience.

Saw them twice this year. Just as amazing as ever!

pure gold

These dudes recognized the concept of toxic masculinity even before the word was used to refer to it. Robert Smith is truly a living legend.

I love how I can hear and see how much they’ve influenced current bands that I love. Such incredible feel/groove.

Opere come queste non esisteranno più

Imagina dedicar "Lovesong", "Just Like Heaven" o "Friday i'm in love" para terminar escuchando Boys Don't Cry

para nosotros estas canciones nunca moriran!!!!! THE CURE!!!!

This band’s vibe has just gotten better over time.

An amazing song is like a first love. Once experienced, will never be forgotten❤

I think that if this song was released today, it would still be popular amongst the same age group that it was popular with when it was originally released.

Feel so sorry for people who haven't discovered this song yet.

We need more songs like this

I love how they mix their two guitars together into one melody. This is it at its best (although they did it frequently throughout their career).

I was going through a rough time when I met my first girlfriend, and after she first confessed to me that she liked me through text, this song instantly came on the radio and that moment just stuck with me. Every time I’d call or see her, I’d always listen to this. So that’s why when we broke up, I couldn’t exactly listen to this song for a long time until now. Man, this song really sounds as good as it did that day

Boys Don't Cry Lyrics I would say I'm sorry If I thought that it would change your mind But I know that this time I have said too much Been too unkind I tried to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I tried to laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry I would break down at your feet And beg forgiveness, plead with you But I know that it's too late And now there's nothing I can do So I try to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I try to laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry I would tell you that I loved you If I thought that you would stay But I know that it's no use That you've already gone away Misjudged your limits Pushed you too far I took you for granted I thought that you needed me more I would do 'most anything To get you back by my side But I just keep on laughing Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry Boys don't cry Boys don't cry

I miss her, all can picture is seeing her dark eyes glisten her quiet reserved demeanor and gorgeous smile when she did smile because even when she was serious she still looked amazing

I wish it wouldn't have taken me so long to finally pay attention to the brilliance these guys play with!

Today, the boys cry. R.I.P. Andy

damn I didn't know Ryuk was part of the cure

This song will always put you in the moment. Like a breath of fresh air cheers friends🍻

Discovered The Cure sometimes in mid 80s and instantly fell in love with their music

I would say I'm sorry If I thought that it would change your mind But I know that this time I have said too much Been too unkind I try to laugh about it Cover it all up whit lies I try and laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes Because boys don't cry Boys don't cry I would break down at your feet And beg forgiveness Plead whit you But I know that it's too late And now there's nothing I can do So I try to laugh about it Cover it all up with lies I try and laugh about it Hiding the tears in my eyes Because boys don't cry Boys don't cry I would tell you That I loved you If I thought that you would stay But I know that it's no use That you've already Gone away Misjudged your limit Pushed you too far Took you for granted I thought that you needed me more Now I would do most anything To get you back by my side But I just keep on laughing Hiding the tears in my eyes Because boys don't cry Boys don't cry Boys don't cry

Robert Smith looks like a possessed Edward Scissorhands

The bass line makes me cry with how good it is

Thanks MTV and VH1 for introducing the late gen Xers to this legendary bands of the 80s. Long live the 80s and 90s

I remember a comment from a few years ago about a guy at an airport coming from his brother funeral (from cancer I believe) listening to a playlist on his brothers cell phone, this song being the first, dedicating on the inside the entire song to his passed brother, asking him for forgiveness, because the song said boys don't cry, and he was, inconsolably..

I love The Cure. So many good memories.

やっと会えた！ 高校生の頃にMTVで見たきりでもう一度見たいと思い35年。 感激です。

my sleep paralysis demon at 2am: 1:55

This song is simply brilliant, the sad lyrics and the animated melody makes it sound like he's trying to convince himself that everything is okay, so he does not cry.

Just saw them in Buenos Aires. What a band, legends. Robert... Didn't miss a single note!

i see a bunch of older folks connecting with this song, and its beautiful. im currently under 18 but i find this song beautiful as well. a song/band has to be truly beautiful to have the power to connect with people of all ages.

You always can cry, don't worry guys :)

this song... its too short... could listen to this forever

I can't belive this. I am 12 years old and when I was 6 I had a teacher that always played friday I'm in love on the same day and we sang the song. Now I'm here, after going to a concert and listening to their music until end

The Cure to happiness

My ex broke up with me, she said that she doesn't love me as I love her. I cried in the moment that I heard the woman that I trully love saying it, now I can't hear some songs without crying , at least from inside.

I can't believe kids back in the day are such good musicians.

I think so that boys cry ... 🥹 I miss you the person that to me introduced this music 💙

i discovered this band from current joys "I LISTEN TO THE CURE I LISTEN TO THE CURE I LISTEN TO THE CURE AND THEN I CRIED"

It's 2054 and I love this song.

64 years old and still jamming to this song, rock on .

Text is strong in this song, especially when you have a broken heart😢

Robert smith dancing as a shadow with 2 red glowing eyes is so majestic to me,he's like demon jester or something

Sir Jorah, I found The Cure!

I can’t stop listening to this song. I like it sooo much 🥺❤️. It’s definitely the best song of the cure 👌

I'm 15 and I love rock! It makes me so sad to hear people talk about memories attached to rock because everyone around me listens to rap and I have no one to listen to good music with! I'm always alone in my room 🥲

This fitted perfectly to the scenes in The Crown

i was a kid, in chile, that only listened to the beatles, when someday this video came out on tv, and changed the way i looked life. it both scared and fascinated me, those shadows acting their own way and their red-lighting eyes. from here, they opened the door to a whole different world of music i didn't knew it existed back then, that wasn't played in the radio, nor tv. justice be served by saying that it's directed by tim pope (who made the most of the cure's videos)

Frankfurt was great. Live and better than I ever imagined 💗

its not just a band its a cure
