i listened this song , when I was seventeen... this song make me a road a trip.... olds times.... young , free, today have 30 years ... sorry for my bad English ....
I really don't understand how I lived without knowing this amazing song and amazing chorus. it surprises me and even scares me a little how modern and relevant the track sounds now and will probably always sound like that
I first heard this song when I was 16, and now, at 29, it still gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. It takes me down memory lane, reminding me of cherished moments. Even after all these years, it remains one of the best songs ever released.
One of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard in my life....and one of the best combinations ever. I wish Crystal castles and Robert Smith would make an entire album together. It would be truly amazing!
11 years after my divorce, when the weather gets cold here in New York I listen to this song over and over. Robert's voice brings me to tears. His back and forth times in his marriage you can hear in his voice. As the wizard of oz says to the tin man...hearts will never be practical until they are made unbreakable. Heart-rendingly sung
Spring 2016 went through a brutal heartbreak. This girl and I were very close in HS. We always had a thing for each other and she would always be so happy to see me at school or at parties when we would bump into each other. She would run and jump into my arms and we would always hook up even though we were never single at the same time. I know, not cool, but we were kids and didn't know that what we had between us was special, it never felt wrong. It's rare when two people that are polar opposites fit so well together. We always made up for each others shortcomings with our strengths. Nobody had ever made me feel so wanted and appreciated especially since things at home were practically hell on earth. Cue the (now 2nd worst) worst time of my life. I ran away from home the day I turned 16 and got my drivers license. I had no choice, the abuse was too much. I was tired of being treated like the family punching bag physically and emotionally. I was already in a massive downward spiral and heading straight for a wall at 100mph. At 16 I moved in with a woman in her 30s that had a child. It felt normal because I lost my virginity to my 7th grade English teacher and continued seeing her in a rapey fwb type of situation. At one point I knew my freedom would soon be taken away so I escaped court mandated rehab at 18 and fled to Mexico where I lived with a pair of prostitutes and worked on a cattle ranch. On weekends I would take tourists on dune buggy rides. I was spinning. I was lost. I was a broken kid. No self worth, no hope for a future. I was sure I was going to die soon and that thought was a great comfort, knowing my pain was going to end. I got homesick. I missed my city. Ended back up in Chicago after a year in Mexico. 2 months later I'm in shackles and in front of a judge. Sentenced to 18.5 years at 85%. Drug related. Fast forward a year. I still have a death wish. I'm purposely attacking people you don't ever want to cross or attacking guards hoping that someone would finally manage to put a green light out on me and my pain would come to an end. I learn that my baby sister oded and died on her 16 birthday. I wile out and end up in seg. The worst pain I've ever felt. Probably still is. I lost the only family that ever loved me. One day, I get out of seg and I get all these letters that had stacked up in the months and months spent in solitary. It was my best friend from HS. She had been trying to make contact and let me know she thinks about me a lot and I'm not as alone as I think I am. I think I felt hope for the first time in my life. I calm down. Make friends. Get into shape. Get degrees through the mail. Learn about law. Appeal my case and beat it. State didn't even attempt to try me again. I get out the next fucking day after being sure I'd be there well into my 30s just days earlier. By my second day back in the world, there she was at my house. Left her boyfriend and moved in with me pretty much immediately. Believed in me when everyone else had written me off. Despite being in the tough position of restarting my life from scratch, we had a blast. I had never experienced unconditional love like this from another person except maybe my sister. My scars, my transgressions, my shitty station in life- starting from nothing - none of it mattered. I had one person that believed in me. It was enough. I pushed forward and I started picking up the shattered pieces of my life. We were in blind love. I had never known what it meant to feel important to someone, to have inherent value, to have pride in your accomplishments. But my demons caught up to me and I rested on my laurels and faded into the doldrums of everyday life. I started drinking. I caused unimaginable damage to our relationship but eventually saw the light and since she had faith in me fresh out of prison, I felt a strength within to where after 5 years of drinking a handle everyday I quit cold turkey. Our relationship rebounded. Things felt like they did in the beginning. I felt hope again. Things were great.... until 6 months later when I broke my phone and popped my sim into the burner phone we used in case of emergency. I find texts between her and another man and overreact. She admits to cheating when I was drinking and also confesses she molested her little brother because she herself was abused. I kick her out. We cut each other off completely. She was my best friend and an unimaginably large part of my life. I kept our 3 cats and stayed in our apartment. To this day all I see is shadows of the life we built together all over our walls and the ghosts of those same memories in the empty spaces. I've given up on myself again. After losing my best childhood friend and life partner in her, 6 months later I lost my other best friend. The only other man I've ever said "I love you" to and meant it. We were brothers that suffered immensely together at Tamms CC. We kept each other sane and alive both on the inside and when we got out. I've been a drifting soul since. I don't have any coping mechanisms in my repertoire to deal with this kind of loss and darkness. Once again, I find myself shattered to pieces after trying my hardest but really still being held together with paper mache. I'm on heroin again by choice and I'm ready to die. I saw her at the gas station for the first time in 7 years the other day. Didn't know it was her, was walking out and a woman caught my eye, which is very rare in the mental state that I'm in. She turned around and it was her. The barely scabbed over wound was ripped right back open. I've been crying and slowly killing myself for 7 years and now the sting and sorrow is as fresh again as day 1. It's as if I'm mourning the recent death of a loved one. We are now 2 strangers and that is an ache I had no idea would be this intense. When our cats finally die, I'm going to take my life. I'm too damaged to be put back together again. Everyone important to me is gone. I just drift aimlessly through life just waiting the few years until the furry memories of her die and then I can finally be free from the bondage of my own memories - the memories of my father trying to kill me, the memories of all of the abuse, the cigarette burns, the broken bones, the broken hearts, the stupid unreachable dreams that once meant so much to me, the memories of friends and family no longer here and memories of love lost. I'm ready to go... I have no purpose.
@@maquesim4296 oh... im just a kiddo for you... and i cant simply comprehend something like this. I cant say get well, or try to cheer up, I know I can't say to you, try again... but I don't know you... I don't think this idea could help maybe try to put yourself together for a last time and bring those cats to her... as a final goodbye at least... I hope the best for you, and I hope I'm not too late
Those synths sound so distressful, chaotic but at the same time hypnotic and captivating. It's like keep telling to yourself you're not in love with someone but deep down inside the only person being fooled is you, because you're in fact in love but trying to hide it from everybody else
My ex broke up with me more than a year ago but I was still in love with her. But now, I finally can feel this song and relate to every feeling and lyrics. It's been a while since we broke up. Overcoming her was the hardest thing I had to do. Now I'm finally feeling I'm not in love anymore.
the irony of this song.. the denial.. he is .. "In Love"... I can only listen to this song so often.. makes me tear up. .. it is as it say's in the lyrics.. except the denial part... love everything about this song.. love that distorted voice.. love.
This whole album will always be a masterpiece to me. It takes me back to my high-school days grade 10/11. Oh how I miss those days looking back. If only the present me could go back and tell past myself to really truly enjoy the vibes and good times because the future is going to SUCK. I miss this
I was in Junior College about 8 years ago when I found this song. Or rather, was told about this song by this cute girl in my math class. I instantly went and listened to it and listened to all of Crystal Castles and similar bands while trying to work up the courage to tell her how I felt. I never did get that courage and I still regret it to this day. This song will always be both nostalgic and melancholy to me because of that.
First heard this song going through highway 80 heading to Nevada. I’ll always remember bits of the drive, and the friend I went with that I lost later on
I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!! IT TOOK 9 YEARS!!! I HEARD THIS SONG WHILE PLAYING FIFA ON A TRIP TO ITALY WITH MY GRANDFATHER AND I SPENT THE LAST 9 YEARS TRYING TO FIND THIS SONG!!! DONT GIVE UP AND YOU GET WHAT U WANT!!!
What a wonderful moment this had to be:]
Hey man, you should have found some years ago ...you are worse than inspector gadget
Thats so dope
Yes it's possible to get what you want if you won't give up. But not giving up costs time. And sad part is we don't live for eternity.
Oh dang, congraguritos! Good job :)
The chorus synth is one of my favorite sounds ever. So fucking huge.
I never get tired of this song

Ever.
I listen to this at least twice every day. The Cure and Crystal Castles are two of my top favorite bands, this is so perfect.
This song always gets to me. It literally touches my soul.
I saw your picture hangin' on the back of my door
Won't give you my heart
No one lives there anymore
And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends
Fascination ends
Here we go again
'Cause it's cold outside, when you coming home
'Cause it's hot inside, isn't that enough
I'm not in love
Could it be that time has taken it's toll
Won't take you so far, I am in control
And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends
Fascination ends
Here we go again
'Cause it's cold outside, when you coming home
'Cause it's hot inside, isn't that enough
I'm not in love
I'm not
And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends
Fascination ends
Here we go again
'Cause it's cold outside, when you coming home
'Cause it's hot inside, isn't that enough
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
We are not in love
Love crystal castles ❤

Quite possibly one of the best songs I have heard in all of my days.
I'm in love with this song
I really don't understand how I lived without knowing this amazing song and amazing chorus. it surprises me and even scares me a little how modern and relevant the track sounds now and will probably always sound like that
Oh man, I FELL in love with this song ❤❤❤❤❤ I cant even believe I lived all this time without it 😭😭😭😭
I first heard this song when I was 16, and now, at 29, it still gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. It takes me down memory lane, reminding me of cherished moments. Even after all these years, it remains one of the best songs ever released.
I could listen to this song a million times and it never gets old!
Simply hearing Robert makes me tear up.
This is seriously one of the best goddamn things the internet has ever shown me...
One of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard in my life....and one of the best combinations ever. I wish Crystal castles and Robert Smith would make an entire album together. It would be truly amazing!
This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. Literally.
robert smith is a musical legend, and crystal castles and him mixed together are GODLY.
I love The Cure and Crystal Castles this song is a gift
'And we were lovers
Now we can't be friends.'
Amazing.
One of the best songs if not the best of the 2010s amazing songs crystal castled so underated
I love Robert's voice so much
11 years after my divorce, when the weather gets cold here in New York I listen to this song over and over. Robert's voice brings me to tears. His back and forth times in his marriage you can hear in his voice. As the wizard of oz says to the tin man...hearts will never be practical until they are made unbreakable. Heart-rendingly sung
sorry men

Perfect words , perfect vocals , perfect song .
robert smith's voice is so classic isn't it
I love this darn song!!
I used this song to help get me over a break up. every time i felt the pain of it i put this on. It worked. Love this song..
Crystal Castles + Robert Smith = Magic
1989: Fascination Street
2010: Fascination Ends
this song will never get old
This is an incredibly infectious tune
My ex broke up with me more than a year ago but I was still in love with her. But now, I finally can feel this song and relate to every feeling and lyrics. It's been a while since we broke up. Overcoming her was the hardest thing I had to do. Now I'm finally feeling I'm not in love anymore.
Just discovered this song. I can’t stop listening to it! Love Robert Smith🥰 Awesome collab!
the irony of this song.. the denial.. he is .. "In Love"... I can only listen to this song so often.. makes me tear up. .. it is as it say's in the lyrics.. except the denial part... love everything about this song.. love that distorted voice.. love.
damn, i was a teenager. Thanks Crystal Castles, you are part of the best memories of my life.
me too. :-)
Song instantly puts you in a trance
The sound feels like a massive winter storm in the darkness if night
I think of this song every day. So so good!
Wow, this song rips your heart out, but you come back asking for more, absolutely gorgeous!
Insanely Brilliant!
What a completely love song! Robert's voice is just....ahhhhhhh
What is it about this song that makes me feel so sad? I connect it to my 16-17year old days and Its nuts to think about whats happened since then.
When those synths come in for the chorus, i feel an icy chill all over my skin!
Remember, without pain, we wouldn't feel relief. Without sorrow, we wouldn't feel joy.
Appreciate the lows in life to better understand the highs.
I AM IN LOVE and always have been with Robert Smith. Going on 16 years of hearing his ageless vocals that sound Just Like Heaven. Someday.
I used to dance to this song, now it makes me want to CRY. still love it tho
Dear Donna, don't cry...
+Donna Dias Sounds like you're (not) in love
But yes, I'm in deep love...thanks God...:-)
+Donna Dias As long as it makes you feel something, it's doing it's job...=)
it happens with me too! weird
I never get tired of Crystal Castles 💕
Same. Favorite band for life:( wish they would come back.
There is something dark and haunting yet terribly beautiful and alluring about the chorus... definitely underrated.
This song is so great :)
Robert smith's Voice is magical
Love this song... cant get it out of my head
9 years later and this is still one of the best songs I've listed to
I love Crystal Castles, I love the Cure, this is heaven.
Whenever I hear that synth I just suddenly feel a very strong emotion and I don't even know what emotion it is
This whole album will always be a masterpiece to me.
It takes me back to my high-school days grade 10/11. Oh how I miss those days looking back. If only the present me could go back and tell past myself to really truly enjoy the vibes and good times because the future is going to SUCK.
I miss this
Same dude 🚬
literally a perfect song.
the song of my life 💖
