the dancers are the greatest choice actually, for those who beg to differ!!!! very expressive, gothic style, outstanding performance!!! respect!!

I admire the choreographer cause it's not that easy to arrange a BALLET choreography to music such like this when u don't want to screw up it. The dance is an addiction to this song. Pure art.

perhaps the most perfect interpretation of this song. this is so dark, haunting, yet beautiful at the same time. absolutely love this.

This is one of my favorite songs by The Cure.

Still here at 43. Been a fan since 1980

This song always reminded me of a broken marriage. The dancing synchronized perfectly with the dark vibe of the song. I love, love, love The Cure.

One of the greatest live performances ever recorded ... brilliant use of dance with this briliant song ...

this is without a doubt the best version of this song and my favorite video on youtube.

The most haunting song of this haunting group

This is amazing, so glad this exists to be seen still.

Obsessed with the song. Obsessed with the dancing. Wonderful.

I love the violins on this 😍

first ever live rock goth ballet.... laughing into the fire

I remember watching this for the first time back in 2007 on a cybercafe while on holiday with a friend. Can't believe it's been this long and my teenage days are now so far behind in the past.

I'm so glad that this happened! what a bizarre moment in time. One of my favorite songs!

Still here at 55. Been a fan since 1985 !

this is absolutely perfect. in every way. the best era for the cure.

I love playing the basslines to this song, just so simple & dark. Easily one of The Cure's best albums.

Just to let thsoe know, the cure was collaborating with the Royal Ballet to make a show on stage featuring this and more of the Cure's songs of that time. The project never came to fruition but while they were working on the project, they appeared on British TV performing/dancing to this song a a sneak preview of the show. (continued)

From jumping off stages to the Ballet studio at 42 . I can finally see the amazing life all we all have lived listening to the cure for all!

OMG! I am a Cure fan for 20 years and have never seen this before. I knew it existed, but... How nice to finally see it!

I have watched this video 3 times in a row, It is absolutely beautiful and hypnotic.

This is such a brilliant recorded live performance ... I don't know how many times I really have cried watching this ...

A genius piece of work, both musically, lyrically and in it's choreography. I missed this when it was on TV, and never repeated, so thanks for posting.

omg this is absolutely amazing wow

Great performance!

OMG I love this song. Takes me back.

Memories ..are like wine Too much of the good or bad leave you with a throbbing head and a numb mind .. Thank you for uploading this .. I'm glad that this tune haunts me

This is one of the song that can make me cry and shiver, this is the top of the cure

Who cares what "label" someone else wants to stick on them ? They have been one of the most amazing bands to share their music with us. I will be seeing them in Feb :-)

how the hell did you get this footage!!! Superb, and a real obscure gem. Stunning!! Thankyou

this is the most random thing I've ever seen. Done to the best song ever written.

the dancers are divine. never seen something like this

El pornography un álbum oscuro y nostálgico como sus álbumes en los años siguientes hasta términos de los 80 donde empezó a soltarse con más alegría , también encontró su media naranja y ya empezaba a sonreirle a la vida el vocalista Robert Smith ..................... saludos de Perú ..

i'm reminded of how interesting it was to live before the internet. which is of course sounding quite absurd...love this video! cheers

i love this song!... its one of my lifetime favorites!

I find myself mesmerized by this video. I really wish this was somehow in HD, I could imagine this having a tremendous impact with pristine audio. The video might be just fine as it is.

Even here 6 years after I first saw this video and it is the most beautiful tragedy i've ever seen.

Always and forever. The Cure ❤️

This performance is just incredible.

Thanks to whoever posted this rare masterpiece of The Cure. I'm also a big fan of The Cure as well, what i really like about this song is that it's very sparse and has an unrelenting feel conjuring raw emotion that digs into the mind frame listening to it that we all need somebody one time or another. The ballet dancing fits perfectly with the song telling the story of those "Siamese Twins" that cant survive without each other. Excellent song.

i do agree with you very much. watching robert singing is much more emotive and powerfull.

What a gem!

I'm so glad to see this video here. I saw it almost 20 years ago and it's never left me.

(part 2)Other posters have put this up in colour. But this a rare treat to find. I found it in 1994 on a bootleg video I bought on a trip to London. Everyone of my Cure fan friends who saw it had their jaws drop to the floor watching this!

this is marvelous awesome. regards from Chihuahua Mexico.

pornoghraphy is the best Cure album, really the Top for those years...I can't stop to love it.

Ny favourite song by The Cure - never knew about this before though.

great video and great song...awesome...i adore it

Some of the thoughts Robert conveys, in not just this song but the others from Pornography, are timeless. They provide the listener comfort in a twisted manner, demonstrating some powerfully dark lyrics that are nearly unmatched in all of music.

q momentos!!.. cuando tenia 14 años... darle una y más veces.. depresivo y encantado con esa canción..

Amazing , the best version , love it so much.

THANK YOU for putting this on KZfaq!

I love this song so much...........

Absolutely perfect!!

wow!! this was beautiful

this video just blew my mind on so many levels, i must favorite!

I'm in love with this video.

I love this so much...Wish it could be restored..

I used to came here to cry

The end of 1993 sah been one of the darkest and coldest period of my life. I remember this song!!! It's now giving me back the same feelings...somehow terrible, but so, so true oh, man

Wow another Rare Gemm!

Siamese twins my favorite song from the cure....we moved under a red light and I chose a decade of you walking into the fire flesh & blood and the first kiss the first colors the first kiss voodoo smile a girl at the window looks at me for an hr..

awesome.

Excellent ! Thanks for posting this. I'd heard of it back in the day, but never saw it.

This is beauty in itself. Yet painful...like beauty.

In a time and place that doesn't exist any longer, but because of you tube. It saves me all over again.

This is such a minimalistic piece of music- but so effective. While the guitar chords could be played by any beginner, the secret of this song lies in the haltingly, kind of saturnian rhythm, which was congenial implemented by this choreography. I really like it very much.

Eternal.. ♥️

I'm a big fan of the Cure, but this song (and the entire Pornography album in general) has always resonated with me the most. The song is unrelentingly bleak, conjuring up images of oppressive colors, distorted shapes and surreal landscapes. The ballet dancing is perfect; with those two "siamese twins" that can't live with or without each other, dancing in their vicious cycle. I'll go ahead and click this as a favorite.

es una de las mejores canciones de the Cure seeee

The second-best album ever recorded.

Dansant dans ma poche Les vers mangent ma peau Elle rayonne et grandit Avec les bras bien étendus Ses jambes autour de moi Le matin j'ai pleuré Laisse moi mourir Tu ne te souviendras pas de ma voix Je me suis enfui et j'ai vieilli Tu ne souries jamais Je hurle Tu n'es rien Je n'ai plus besoin de toi Tu n'es rien Ça se fane et file... Chante fort Nous mourrons tous En riant dans le feu Est-ce toujours comme ça ?

Great song and choregraphy, makes me think to Virgin Prunes .

This is a beautiful video and song. I love the ballet dancers!:)

lol, the costume party things true, yeah i read it in one of the cure's biographys. i loveeeee this song

this is good music also great interpretative dance

A real gem!! Thank you for sharing!

great song

I have this on VHS too, mines in colour though, will have to get it copied and put up on You tube, i remember watching this while i taped it, haunting stuff.

Dance usually pains me, but this dance actually helped me "get" the song.

Smith left The Cure and joined Siouxsie steadly, right in that very year (83)... just to reform the Cure a short while later :) But the song was written with the Cure...

now this is what i want to see on dancing with the stars

Brilliant! Thanks for posting this

The lyrics are chilling and intriguing... :)

100% the best version

So sad and yet so amazing, beautiful and, indeed, perfect. The Cure every fucking days! :D

I love it

i thought i've all of the rare Cure vids... i was wrong.:) AWESOME performance!

WOW have not seen this in ages -- thank you for sharing!

Brilliant! This is so intriguing...

most beautiful video on youtube.

Merci j'adore vos vidéos 👏👏👏👏👏

This is pretty goddamned good.

So dark I LOVE IT

That shows how NOT gay The Cure are. I'm tired of people calling them "gay". It's like nobody in this world can be unique, creative, outrageous, or just quirky without being called "gay"...This is obviously a fantastic song, it's so moody and beautiful.

Este periodo en the cure es magnífico, lo que confirma que las drogas son un elemento clave en la creación artística

great!

they were so 'cutting edge' at this time. goth was born

For only the music I would go on the performance like this.
