Because you only need to hold two fingers down and set the tempo on a bass instrument like Roland’s SH101 and the arpeggiator will construct the baseline for you. It’s a lot of fun, easy to change the baseline just by holding different chord patterns, and it sounds great and makes people dance.

I called you after midnight Then ran until I burst I passed the howling woman And stood outside your door We walked around the lake And woke up in the rain And everyone turned over Troubled in their dreams again Visiting time is over And so we walk away And both play dead then cry out loud Why we always cry this way? I kissed you in the water And made your dry lips sing I saw you look Like a Japanese baby In an instant I remembered everything, everything, everything I called you after midnight Then ran until my heart burst I passed the howling woman And stood outside your door I kissed you in the water And made your dry lips sing I saw you look Like a Japanese baby In an instant I remembered everything, everything, everything Take me for a walk Take me for a walk Let's go in the water Take me for a walk
TOTP was always lipsynched..that was his way of showing he hated it and a protest, by leaving his guitar on the ground face down and not playing the parts.. this was a disco song.if you think about it
Loved the attention ,I remeber telling my friends he was gay in 1985 and they thought I was crazy, I said what does "a boy in the bush beats 2 in the hand" mean? Handsome Devil lol
¡Aquí, recordando "The Walk" de The Cure! 🎵💫 Esta canción me transporta a los días en que bailábamos libremente y caminábamos con un latido en el corazón. Las melodías de The Cure tienen ese poder mágico de traernos alegría y nostalgia. 😌🎵
They did two TOTP appearances miming to this song: their July 7, 1983 appearance featured former member Porl (now Pearl) Thompson miming on bass guitar, and the July 8, 1983 appearance with Phil Thornalley in Thompson's place.
@@ajs41 I loved sexy so much that I played Simonette in the early version of The Xploding Boys (yeah, imaginary boy) for 7 years. Damn, I feel like 100 years!
One of my favourite songs The Cure performed. But, EVERYTHING MIX!!! is my all time choice of this song. My other favourite songs The Cure performed are BURN & A FORREST & THE HANGING GARDEN I know others will prefer others but, that's their perogative.
@@workingtitle7049 first of all I didn't say it did. But in a way it does because you can compare anything and find a similarity of anything for example this song has a similar disco beat to Blue Monday. But anyway the point is that some people thought that one group ripped off the other group because it came out at the same time and they were trying to cash in no one said this is an identical copy what the fuck why am I wasting my time replying to you what the fuck this is why my life is shity because I let idiots fuck me up
They both have the same tempo but other than that, I don’t hear any other similarities. Also, didn’t New Order rip off Donna Summer’s Our Love to make Blue Monday?
Couldn't make the July 21, 1983 show, so the band asked Phil Thornalley, who'd produced their 1982 album Pornography, to step in for him. He would remain their bassist through November 1984, after which time Robert and Simon Gallup began healing old wounds, with help from Gallup's Fools Dance roadie buddy Gary Biddles. Porl, meanwhile, did rejoin The Cure in early 1984 on guitar, keyboards _and_ saxophone.

@@mikehardy2418 They fired him after he'd destroyed a hotel room while the band were in Japan in October 1984. He also caused trouble for the band while in France five months earlier, which was at the same time Robert had parted ways with Siouxsie & the Banshees due to exhaustion from playing with three different bands at once (Robert's doctor was shocked about his health, and wrote him a note saying he had to rest; Robert then sent that over to the Banshees as proof of his leaving that group). The third band Robert was in was called The Glove, which he formed with Banshee Steve Severin; their Blue Sunshine LP featured Andy on drums.
The walk got to #12 and was their first hit single. Pornography in 1982 was a top 10 album. Love cats was their first top 10 single in 83. In fact kiss me was less popular than head on the door which was their first international success

These guys are the kings of catchy hooks and riffs.

I just out loud said “are you fricking kidding me” seeing Robert look so perfect in those sunglasses & jewelry. He is too cool🤩🫠
One of my favourite Cure hits. I was a teen in the 80s. What a time to grow up with music like this feeding my soul. I'm better for it.
Such a unique voice, that Robert Smith.
I know,
Just try to sing a little bit like him it makes me feel like a turd every time I do
one of the most enigmatic and evocative songs of pop....EVER.
Those little synth melodies are awesome. And the ‘up down’ synth bass that was very popular at the time

Even here in 83 The Cure were way better than a lot of their contemporary imo
I called you after midnight
Then ran until I burst
I passed the howling woman
And stood outside your door
We walked around the lake
And woke up in the rain
And everyone turned over
Troubled in their dreams again
Visiting time is over
And so we walk away
And both play dead then cry out loud
Why we always cry this way?
I kissed you in the water
And made your dry lips sing
I saw you look
Like a Japanese baby
In an instant I remembered everything, everything, everything
I called you after midnight
Then ran until my heart burst
I passed the howling woman
And stood outside your door
I kissed you in the water
And made your dry lips sing

Take me for a walk
Take me for a walk
Let's go in the water
Take me for a walk

The quality of the video impresses me.
this was the biggest show in the UK's history...all artists from the US or other countries were on this show...the Smiths were on a dozen times
Better than the other ones for sure Bill !!
@@Evocati-Augusti A dozen?!
@@onyx747 What is the meaning of a dozen times: "A dozen times" means a lot of times. It is not exactly 12 times.

Rob's a really talented guitar player!
I love the Cure! Great memories!
People were into Def Leppard, Zz Top, the Police...this was considered very weird in 1983
All of them were greatly weird!
I would’ve been weird then 😂. I was born in 81 but I was heavy into the cure in the 90s
Depends who you hung out with. Some people were into Japan in the early 80s and this made lots of sense.
@@countorringtonludlow5211 I'm turning Japanese I really think so it's about the only thing I remember from the early 80s being into Japanese

It sounds nothing like blue Monday

Has influence of NO Moroder, Donna Summer even Kraftwerk.

You know they're not actually playing though, right? This show is always lip synched. It's known for musicians swapping instruments.

I can really hear Blue Monday in here somewhere, which came first I wonder??
I think Robert was really into New Order in 83.

Bob looks hungover
Why ?
He looks totally fucked by the end, were they well into booze and drugs?
those flashing lights probably weren't helping much
Think he is just bored lip synching and having totally irrelevant pole dancers with the band...
