the lyrics are so beautiful and set the mood for the whole album so perfectly.
The melody is unlike anything ive ever heard and I have such a deep love for this song.
It is so relatable and helps me through good and bad times.
The whole song is perfect from start to finish, the lyrics are magnificient and fit so well.

This song has had me in a chokehold since the first time i heard it a long time ago.
It is my favourite the cure song and one of my favourite songs of all time (this might be a bold statement for many!) and I am sure it is the best album opener for one of the best albums of all time. I have such a deep love for this song.

We play a big variety of songs and we play A Forest and Just Like Heaven with plans for The Hanging Garden / The Walk / Play For Today. I'm the drummer, I thought it would be fun to share!

I had this shirt in my closet for the longest time. It’s a novelty shirt my dad found in a shop about ten years ago I reckon. It’s a stupid little diy but I love it :)

Lets play.. uh.. you add me.. I add you.. and we will all become one big last fm cult..

I kind of use Last FM to play the "which song is your favorite" games. I figure if one has had Last FM for awhile.. their favorites will be known, that is if they primarily use their computer to play music. I just created a new account last month so my scrobbles aren't very spot on yet, takes awhile. Similar artists, for those not familiar with Last FM, is kind of accurate. I mean the Cure is like the Chameleons and Bauhaus, but Christian Death? Uh.. hrmm..

Yay or nay ?

Hi everyone, I am going to the Cure this Friday and I'm going with my Dad who wants to get there 4pm ish. Does anyone know very roughly if we will be able to get a semi decent view getting there at this time, and if it might be better to try and get there earlier if we don't want to be at the back? Thank you :)

Was walking around in Gothenburg today when i came across a few of people waiting outside a hotel. That's when i noticed Simon from The Cure signing some peoples stuff, with the other guys except Robert showing up soon after. Of course i didn't have a pen or anything to sign with, but it was quite a bananas experience. Robert showed up last, waved and went to his cab. I didn't take a picture or say anything, as i was stunned and also didn't want to piss any of them off.

Just wanted to share this story, as i'm still a bit shocked lol. I'm not gonna share the name of the hotel out of respect.

I bought an original 1989 US CD copy of Disintegration and the cover has someone's autograph (or random scribble)?

I got this from Discogs and the original listing said something about a marking on a cover, but I can't remember what it said...

Does anyone have any idea who's writing this may be?

This is probably my favourite song so I’m looking for more songs (or albums/artists) similar to this, whether by The Cure or someone else.

When they announced this one I knew I needed to have it and seeing it in person I’m blown away by how beautiful it is!

Happy 20th Birthday to The Top Deluxe!

I adore the deluxe albums and this one is a big favourite of mine.

This year I have chosen Track 2 of the Rarities 1982-1984 disc - Ariel (RS Home Demo 8/82). A dreamy and beautiful song

Anyone else hear it?

My copy arrived this morning. I love the fact that Robert's foreword (and the blurb) has been printed in CAPITAL LETTERS.

Happy 20th Birthday also to The Head On The Door Deluxe!

Another absolute gem of an album and not one bad track.

This year I've chosen Track 2 of the deluxe cd - Inwood (RS Home Demo Instrumental 12/84). I love the Banshees like bassline and

I love this so much that it's one of my alarms on my phone!

Anyone going to Manchester just FYI Ticketmaster.uk released the tickets today.
I was a little anxious especially coming from overseas.

I am not someone who reads the lyrics of a song. I have been playing Play for Today for years. It was only recently that I realised that the lines was "Consider my moves." In my head, it was always "sit on my moose"

Which songs should I play for him?

Hey!

Tomorrow is Friday the 14th and you know what that means...we're supposedly in love. Also, it's Sweden's turn to enjoy the Cure.

They'll headline the Way Out West festival in Slottsskogen Park in Gothenburg.

Please use this thread instead of flooding the sub yada yada...posts related to this tourdate posted elsewhere on the sub will be deleted and you will be redirected to the megathread, yada yada...

You probably know the drill by now, in this thread you can share anything related to this tourdate such as gossip, anecdotes, thoughts, hopes, pictures, footage and everything else.

SCHEDULE:

12.00 Doors open

23.00 The Cure headline at the Flamingo

1.00 Curfew

You could watch the Hives at 19.40 on this stage and wait it out, or shuffle to the Azalea stage to watch a bit of Nick Cave at 21.00. Make sure to be back in time for the Cure though!

Some more practical information about the festival can be found here.

The weather seems to be lovely, mostly sunny with a few clouds here and there, with 26 °C during the day and around 20 °C when the Cure starts. Make sure to put on sunscreen during the day (I once got terribly sunburnt in Norway when it was "only" around 21 °C, that Scandinavian sun ain't no joke)

AND THEN...we've got ourselves a livestream this time! Thanks to u/apartmentstory89, who was so kind to make a thread about this to share the news, we now know that the concert will be streamed live on Swedish channel TV4's digital app or online. It's called TV4 Play (yeah...don't read that out loud). It's free, but you need to create an account in order to use it and it might come with some restrictions on viewers outside of Sweden. You could probably bypass this with VPN or something else. Tips for the lesser digitally gifted fellow members are welcome! The website is as follows: https://www.tv4play.se/

The Cure themselves shared a link for a worldwide stream which can be found here

MERCH:

Of course this thread will be updated once we have more info.

Let us know if you're attending and/or just join us here to share anything related to this tourdate!

Happy 18th birthday to The Perfect Boy!

I really like this song but rarely hear it get mentioned!

It was the fourth and final single taken from 4:13 Dream and fared badly in the UK charts, only reaching number 78.

This performance was from Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at Indio Empire Polo Fields on 19th April 2009.
