Thanx!

Thanks for this! Their lyrics seem to be a central ingredient. I can't post the link because YT filters those out, but here are the lyrics as posted on Genius: _________________________________________________ Alone This is the end of every song that we sing The fire burned out to ash and the stars grown dim with tears Cold and afraid, the ghosts of all that we’ve been We toast, with bitter dregs, to our emptiness And the birds falling out of our skies And the words falling out of our minds And here is to love, so much love Falling out of our lives Hopes and dreams are gone The end of every song [Chorus] And it all stops We were always sure that we would never change And it all stops Wе were always sure that wе would stay the same But it all stops And we close our eyes to sleep To dream a boy and girl Who dream the world is nothing but a dream Where did it go? Where did it go? Broken voiced lament to call us home This is this end of every song we sing Where did it go? Where did it go? Where did it go? Where did it go? Broken voiced lament to call us home This is the end of every song we sing Alone ___________________________________________________ And Nothing Is Forever Promise you'll be with me in the end Say we’ll be together with no regret For however far away You will remember me tonight Promise you'll be with me in the end Say we'll be together and you won’t forget For however far away You will remember me in time And slide down close beside me In the silence of a heartbeat You'll wrap your arms around me In a murmured lullaby Is the memory of the first time In the stillness of a teardrop I'll hold you for the last time In the dying of the life And I know, I know For my world has grown old And nothing is forever And I know, I know My world has grown old But it really doesn't matter If you say we'll be together If you promise you'll be with me in the end Promise you'll be with me in the end I know, I know My world has grown old And nothing is forever And nothing is forever And I know, I know My world has grown old But it really doesn't matter If you say we’ll be together If you promise you’ll be with me in the end Promise you'll be with me in the end Slide down close beside me In the silence of a heartbeat _____________________________________________________________ I Can Never Say Goodbye Thunder rolling in to drown November moon in cold black rain The lightning who the sky apart I'm whispering his name He has to wake up Love slipping away Hear the bells beyone the sea It's almost too late Shadows growing closer now There is nowhere left to hide I can't wake this dream to sleep However hard I try Down on my knees Aching inside Something wicked this way comes From out the cool November night Something wicked this way comes To steal away my brother's life Somеthing wicked this way comes I could nevеr say goodbye Something wicked this way comes From out the cruel and treacherous night Something wicked this way comes To steal away my brother's life Something wicked this way comes __________________________________________________________________ Endsong And I'm outside in the dark Staring at the blood red moon Remembering the hopes and dreams I had All I had to do And wondering what became of that boy And the world he called his own And I'm outside in the dark Wondering how I got so old It’s all gone, it’s all gone Nothing left of all I loved It all feels wrong It’s all gone, it’s all gone, it’s all gone No hopes, no dreams, no world No, I don’t belong AI don’t belong here anymore It’s all gone, it’s all gone I will lose myself in time It won’t be long It’s all gone, it’s all gone, it’s all gone Left alone with nothing at the end of every song Left alone with nothing at the end of every song Left alone with nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing _____________________________________________________________________________ A Fragile Thing Every time you kiss me, I could cry she said Don’t tell me how you miss me I could die tonight of a broken heart This loneliness will change, and we feel too far apart We know that we’re too far apart Every time that we’re apart It's too late now for me to just forget I never thought I’d lead you to regret all I ever was All this time alone has left me cold inside and lost Yeah, every time you kiss me i could cry Don't tell me how you miss me I could die tomorrow of a broken heart This loneliness will change, and we feel too far apart Nothing you can say to change it back she said Nothing you can do to but sing This song is a fragile thing Nothing you can do to turn it back she said Nothing you can do to turn it back she said Nothing you can do but sing This song is a fragile thing This song is my everything But nothing you can do to change the end There’s nothing you can do… Every time you leave me is a lie she said You make believe you need me, but you try too hard And I feel so wrong You promised me forever, and say we all belong But it’s too late now for me to just forget I never thought I’d lead you to regret all I ever was But all this time alone has left me cold inside and lost Yeah, every time you need me is a lie You make believe you need me, but you try too hard I feel so wrong You promised me forever, and say it won’t be long There’s nothing I can do to change it back she said Nothing you can do to but sing, this song is a fragile thing Nothing you can do now but pretend again Nothing you can do to change it back she said Nothing you can do to but sing This song is a fragile thing This song is my everything Nothing you can do to change the end There’s nothing you can do to change the end

@@pietersbart thanx. Yes, I agree, it's a new era

where can i download in flac?

I bow to you❤❤❤🙏🏼

Yaaassssss yaaasssss, ratherr 🧐

For me, I’m addition this, is the tone and timber of the guitar, bass, synths and drums. The background wash of synths and guitars are what draw me in. Then to hear Robert’s guitar tone, melody and crispness over it all; penetrates my skin and skull. My own mind cannot imagine this sound, beyond grateful for this band and Roberts muse. To be cliche, this is the kind of music that “ speaks to me”. It seems I’m in very good company across this big wide world. Much love to all of you❤️🙏⌛️

Right you are. Been thinking this since the 80s

Sooooooo True 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

And you Sir win the coveted Wanker Of The Week Prize!

Were you the one on the holy hour podcast?

I took my daughters to see The Cure in London and they like me were totally blown away ...an amazing band with an amazing singer performing magnificently...head and shoulders above so many live bands

@@pauld9913 thought I’d already seen the best live band on the planet in Pearl Jam but I have to say The Cure in Leeds edged it for me, simply brilliant.

@@mikeclare1625 I saw Pearl Jam finally in 2018 and they were fantastic but like you I think The Cure were just a bit better....

I’m 3200 years old and I’ve never heard such lazy sounding crap.

Thank you.

I don’t think this is the end of the Cure, Roberts been saying that for 25 years, it’s an inside joke.

To be fair, he's been singing lyrics like that since the 80s. At the end of the concert Robert even said " we will be back soon". I don't think he's finished yet.

​@@1978pqI hope not!

They are the cure to all this sadness we are facing I want my 90s back I want Robbie and jorey cliff playing music again rip Robbie Copland

Well stated - i agree 100%

Agree!

Couldn't agree more!

Omg yes

After all of the times Robert has threatened that 'this might be the last Cure record,' this would be a great one to go out on.

Bang on dude👍

Beautiful description, friend!🤟

💚

Exactly! Could not agree more - breathtaking artful mastery ~ Love the cure forever ❤️

@@Sophie-ln4kp 😿

Same for me, not sure when I started listening to them exactly, but probably around 14 as well. It was in the '80s, and I'm also 51 now, and I just saw them for the first time in June at MSG in NYC - saw them twice in three nights there. They were AMAZINGLY good! I expected a lot and they far exceeded even that! Love these new songs as much as all of the MANY great old ones! Can't believe they played 29 and 31 songs, on stage about three hours at each of those show I saw. But that quantity of songs, especially at their age, was exceeded only by the quality. Three hours seemed like one hour each time.

I was 14 too ❤❤❤

14 and boys don't cry was my first song introduced to me via video I happened to record on my VHS. Just turned 52 and every one of their songs seem to take me away to a beautiful place. So far I'm blown away. Keep them coming

it's good but 'Alone' is even better -a cosy like melancholy like a cocktail of perfect balance

💔

Also heard this song at the Cracow concert. I am happy that it got released, love it……

This is So emotional - taps into my feelings and breaks my heart

Why you write Krakow like that polka, Im not pl and it hurts me lol

@@denodeno222 i will never do this again, always Kraków haha

Extraordinário,fantástico The Cure 🎼show👏🇧🇷

Same ! They are a truly magical band and tgese songs - and many more - are so etheral

Todd I was only 10... First song ever listened to was boys don't cry ❤🖤

It has that 'grand finale' feeling to it, doesn't it? It would seem that most of these five songs do. The lyrics sound that way, like he's saying goodbye. Perhaps somewhat akin to Bowie's last studio release.

@@whatevershebrings I believe so. In little snippets it sounds like this album has taken him (them) this long because it was so draining to bring to fruition. Smith said ...I won't be doing this again...have to make this one count.

Exactly. I feel from this handful of tunes that this will be part 3 of what seems a trilogy: Disintegration, Bloodflowers, and Songs of a Lost World. No pop singles tossed in to disrupt the journey. Those songs have a place, of course, but the best Cure are concept album experiences weaved through building emotional tapestries that enrich and deepen as they go, like the 2 I named above.

Verdade além a triologia ...

@@opaque4742it’s Pornography/Disintegration/Bloodflowers.

@@djdarq6311 I'd say that pornography is better grouped with seventeen seconds and faith

Precisely ​@@TBroomey

"This Twilight Garden❤️" never understood why this track did not make the album it's stunning 👌

That vibe has been there since the 80s.

@@1978pq No, my friend. In The Cure you can find many emotions, dark and light, but this kind of vibe was heard in "Disintegration", "Bloodflowers" and now with these songs...

@@franciscoalvarado9047 Disintegration came out in the 80s. I said that vibe was there since the 80s. I was not wrong.

My 23 year old knew how much I loved the Cure, and was familiar with the radio ones like Just Like Heaven and Friday I'm in Love. She bought us tickets to go see them in Austin for Mother's Day. I have been a fan since I was an 8th grader and am now 45 years old and have never seen them in concert. I didn't even consider that I ever would. It is now a Core Memory for me, and I've fallen in love with their music all over again. The fact that his voice hasn't changed over the decades is a blessing! I'm so glad you got to experience that with your 20-somethings!

Lucky ! That’s super groovy!! ❤️🤟🎸

did they play older songs too? This new album is so good, but I still hope to hear some old classics.

​@@Blackeyedangelwent to see them in Dublin in Ireland last November during this tour and they played mostly older stuff and then these newer songs and then at the end a lot of the most popular songs then

Falou tudo👏🇧🇷

Yep, sound like another 'Cure by numbers' album in the pipeline. I want something more innovetive.

Yeah! No words are adequate to describe

What a great album

I think it will sound as the Bloodflowers era. Paul Corkett is working on it...

Agreed, Endsong here really shines like an old gem, last few albums really didn't hit home because of the cold and stale production Bloodflowers was in my opinion the last album where they had 'that cure sound'

They've been teasing it for 2 years 😭

soy enrique...a no decaer..la musica levanta animos

We have similarities. Hang in there. Find yourself again. Listening to these tracks now, years in my eyes from the music, and shared pain. We'll get through it.

There is plenty left, just wait for their new album 👍. It’s possible to be utterly lost in despair & then to discover some small hope or glimmer of insight thru a song lyric or work of art. Loss & anguish are both side effects of being human. Robert reminds us that we are not alone in any of this, by masterfully transforming grief into gifts of musical, lyrical poetry. I feel lucky every day, despite the darkness, to be living during a time when The Cure are writing & releasing music. These artists & others are really giving so much to help guide us, wherever we are, back towards the light. So hang in there, let the music carry you thru 🎵

I can relate. I just turned 51 recently myself, and when I look around...I mean literally turn in my chair an look at where I'm living now, and the circumstances of my current life, there's a measure of dismay. I had so much, and I threw almost all of it away because even though I'm sure it looked like success from anyone else's perspective, it wasn't making me happy. I sacrificed just about everything for something that looks ridiculous to anyone else my age, but includes a start on everything I thought my life would be about back when I was in college, and we all sat around in the lounge on our breaks listening to Disintegration on endless repeat. I don't know that I have any advice. Just...get through it one day at a time, and count yourself blessed by the little things worth enjoying. Music being one of those things, I suppose...

I'm sorry for what you're enduring. I hope you're still hanging in there. I've been down the D road twice. It's really tough at our age, but there is hope. you'll find yourself, find what you love, and you may even be happier on your own. give it a chance. Much love to you.

This sounds much better and more defined than anything from Bloodflowers, except for the title track, 39, The Last Day Of Summer and Out Of This World.

Oh they've been saying it's the end since before 1989, it has to end some time and lyrically he's been downhill

BB same here my Cureish friend

They are amazing live. If you can definitely go.

I'll be 49 in a few days. My room in highschool was plastered with Cure posters. Along with the Smiths and some heavier stuff. Never seen them live. I will absolutely fly around the world to see them at least once before my time comes. The Cure has meant so much to me in my life.

I have followed them since I was 14 in 1984 and finally saw them Live in December 2022 at Glasgow. It was absolutely amazing. I hope you get the chance to see them too!

Lo mismo que tú pero con 45. Los ví hace poco en Montevideo. Uno de los mejores toques de mi vida! Gracias The Cure y Robert por existir!
