The CURE rocks!!! I was there with my son! I'm 72 and he's 38. This band is timeless and Smith is one of rocks best writers and musicians. Cant wait to see them again.
Even though he's singing a lower register on this one when you listen to his other stuff he still sounds like you did when he was young... That is rare
Have you heard another Freddy Mercury, Robert Plant, Axel Rose, Phil Collins, etc? Yes he does sound unique, but so do most of the highly successful artists.
His voice has aged really well- saw them in Glasgow last year and Robert Smith sounded brand new, especially considering how they play for 3 hours every night
Think about it, it was forty years ago. Forty years ago this song came out. Robert honestly doesn’t sound any different singing it at sixty years old than he did when he was twenty. This is quite an accomplishment. I know I can’t do anything as good as I could when this song came out. I loved it as much then as I do now.
You can tell Robert feels everything that he writes and plays. He is the absolute best. There will never be another Robert or another band like the cure. I will be so heartbroken when they are not with us one day :( But their music will live on and on.
That's for sure, make sure u get the next generation to listen to to it in the car car or something so they can have a good understanding of the music n pass it on n so n so on. 💐🇨🇮🎵🎶🎵🎧
@@rooh5825 Hahahahahahahahahahaha People we're getting up and leaving during Def Leppard. Because they suck. And The Cure are the best live band out there.
Can you imagine being in art college as a student in the early 80’s with this music, in England. I had a great time! Brilliant times, brilliant music. God exists…..
If God existed he would have brought forth 100 or more bands from the Cures time and place instead of keeping them buried in the alternative/new wave underground forcing bands like Bon Jovi and other top 40 crap upon us.
Awesome times… Ive been a guitarist for over 50 years … around that time don’t also forget XTC , Steve Hillage, and ahh, The Groundhogs with Tony McPhee… Great days lads!
My favorite Cure song- has that perfect blend of gothic, New Wave and rock sounds. It's been decades but it still feels like I'm hearing it for the first time, thinking how amazing this sound is! 😍
Simon Gallup is such a terribly underrated bass player. People do not understand how difficult it is to play a consistent bass line like he does in most songs for 5+ minutes and nail it each time.
Just saw them in PHX last Thursday, and they aren’t diminished even slightly. As a live band the Cure is in full possession of their fastball, and the fact that Robert sounds as good as he ever did sets them apart from almost every other band that has been performing for 30-40 years. I love that they cross so many genres, which just defies most groups’ capabilities. This tour set list is phenomenal, but Pictures, Forest, and especially Burn brought the house down.
I was never seriously into ‘The Cure’ in the 80’s but I always loved ‘A forest’ 💫 Now in my 50’s and finally seeing through life’s b.s I have a deeper appreciation for the band as they too have always been about cutting through the b.s 😄 My heart and brain have finally opened up to them like a rare flower. Thank you guys 😌
@@matthewread1545Some Angel has made a mix of Fascination Street & It’s No Good here on TH-cam. You’ll never hear FS the same again. It really is genius.
The Cure music is timeless .... I just started listening again after a 20 year break puts all the modern shite to shame ... My 8 year old wanted more and more.. she loves "The Caterpillar"
Seriously got into the Cure about 83, but later after High School, just chilling with friends in the basement playing pool listening all night to their songs. Cool memories, glad Robert still sounds the same, their music is epic so many favorites.
A Forest is my favorite song by The Cure. I was lucky enough to see them on the Blood Flowers tour. This song sounds incredible live. They are fantastic musicians.
No way, music hasnt been written this good in decades....maybe the early 90's. No one has creativity anymore. But you are right, it is timeless...their music speaks to the heart.
@@stephenwhite5444 You’re not looking in the right places. There’s a lot of good alternative and indie music that’s come out recently. Check out Clairo, King Krule, Mitski, Current Joys and Good Morning just to name a few. Most new pop music on the other hand is trash.
Robert is a true artist who conveys everything he feels in the writing of his music. His art and creativity is like nothing else in our lifetime and probably not the next. 4 decades, and counting!! Here's to more!🥂
@@MicheleMcAdoo Robert Smith of the Cure wrote it about his wife who at the time was his girlfriend and I believe to show how much he loved her. He references the ocean in the song because a trip he took with her in real life to the ocean inspired the lyrics. To me it always described a sort of love found and love lost type of tune. Beautiful and sad at the same time. Fantastic lyrics.
Really? I've always thought The Cure's first 15 years was WAAAAY better than the past 30 years. I couldn't name a single hit song of theirs since "Friday I'm In Love" in 1992. They were consistently great up until then. Not so great since then.
@@carlmarks8170 I think it’s simply because their beginning material was that good. A lot of bands have released great or even better songs in their later years. The Cure however were so good in the beginning that it was never the same. Im not even from that era and to me it’s clear.
Who else listened to this more then once? Six times for me now! It's better each time! This has always been one of my favorites and SO much FUN to play on guitar or bass!
I saw The Cure live and they were pretty good but the three equal best gigs I ever experienced were Fela Kuti, Laurie Anderson and The Rolling Stones ☺️
A true BASS BUFFET, and ALL YOU CAN EAT! EPIC performance, Senor Simon Gallup! Top-notch bass playing, pushing the envelope for that particular electric instrument (and still GETTING IT DOWN in 2019), in general, and 1,000,000% masterful!!! LL
This song alone could have been enough to warrant them induction. It’s a perfect song. And yet this same band also gave us countless other incredible songs that all hold up decades after they were release - AND the band still sound just as top notch as they did in the 80s. We are all lucky to have been around to experience The Cure in our lives
Amo The Cure. Este es un show con sonidos más limpios y etéreos. Y ese órgano añadido le da más épica. Lo que no deja de asombrarme, es que Robert tenga la misma voz desde sus inicios. Simplemente leyendas. A forest, de mis favoritas. Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
I need to hear it on a better stereo than my cellphone. His bass sounds very skeletal and I can't hear Robert well.They played an amazing version of this and 100 years in New Orleans in 1999.They didn't have Reves,who is incredible. But they ruled.Sadly I never got to see them with Porl.I saw em again in New Orleans a few years ago with Reves and they were incredible.Robert plus a world class #2 guitarist is awesome. But when Robert doesn't have Reves or Porl,his epic skills get showcased even more. Ive seen the Cure twice. PIL 4 times(89,12,15,18)and Ministry multiple times. I regret never seeing New Order although I have seen Peter Hook and the Light twice,and made 2 pilgrimages to Manchester to honor Joy Division/New Order. If you are an old fart like me and haven't seen any or all of these legendary acts I mentioned,do it.If you are a youngin,go see what real music is,as opposed to dubstep or mumble rap(no offense,i like electronic music and good rap)-or whatever new unoriginal shit that is popular these days
Patrick Timothy Hell yeah. I'm 23 years old now, know the band since at least 2011, but just became a fan for real, and could understand their music, around 2015; a little late, but I'm pretty happy that I did. Really hoping that they come down here to Brazil again In the future.
I was there that night at the induction ceremony. What an incredible experience! What an amazing performance. The Cure and Robert Smith still going strong after all of these years!!
A masterpiece! This has a fresh, modern sound due to the rearrangement of the drums and keyboard / guitars, yet still retains its authenticity. Very cleverly done! Smith’s voice never changes. How on earth has he kept it ageless?
La musica dei Cure è stata per sempre motivo di aggregazione e socializzazione... Non ci si conosceva ma si condivideva... Eravamo tutti amici... Grazie a Robert...❤
I feel this was played as a nod to all the core fans like us as against the audience who may have been hoping to hear Lovesong or Friday. 😎 Like I read in their biography Never Enough, this is a song that can continue as long as Robert and Simon wants it to, the closest I can explain is like seeing a segment of an endless winding snake, there is a sort of a beginning, but there really is no end. So incredibly atmospheric 💖
The Cure And Robert Smith ❤️ My Favorite Group Growing Up! Now That I'm 65 I Still Feel Uplifted And mesmerized By Their Unique Lyrics and Sound.. It's Almost Spiritual..It Touches Me Deep in My Soul..Love You Guys Thank you For Enriching Our Lives...❤ Dewi in the Desert 🏜
A Forest live in Orange in 1986 still remains the version of versions the bands greatest lineup SMITH, GALLUP, THOMPSON, WILLIAMS, TOLHURST. signed sealed and delivered.
Even after 40+ years Roger still looks like he has a really great time! And yeah, Robert STILL has an amazing voice! I'd soooo love to see them in concert again!
40 years, of giving, sharing, entertaining. The music of the Cure saved me and has no doubt saved many, always moving, inspiring, invigorating. Literature,philosophy,therapy through their fantastic inspirational music. Never more current and relevant than now. Love to The Cure
This song is portal to another dimensions
Ye, the woods.
A Forest is a masterpiece
Indeed
Yes, but for me personally they'll never play it as unique as when I first saw them in 1981
Yes it is.
Perfectly stated !
Agreed but I like lullaby and closer more
Disintegration is one of the greatest albums of all time.
Oui !!! Le meilleur album 👍
Facts
A Forest is from “17 Seconds” though. Another truly great album
It's great for sure, but I like Head on the Door better.
The CURE rocks!!! I was there with my son! I'm 72 and he's 38. This band is timeless and Smith is one of rocks best writers and musicians. Cant wait to see them again.
That’s so awesome dude!
Lucky guys....
Totally agree...his voice is the same as it was in the early 80s....long live the CURE....
@@nickhybner8485 back atcha brother. We have seen them 3xs together starting with the Wish tour. Beatles Stones Cure!
Very cool!
We dont know eachother, we are all strangers, but somehow, we all have this band in common, as the soundtrack of our youth. How cool is that!
♥️
beautifully said 🖤
Hai ragione, fa star bene...
Best comment i ve read about the cure
They were great live
at 60 Robert has the same voice he had back then , pretty amazing.
Yas totally and thats absoluetly amazing and incredible ! I noticed that! His voice never change
@@osirisb221 He doesn't smoke and probably doesn't drink to excess which would help. Damage done earlier in life tends to show as the decades roll by.
Yes!!! Simply Red is another whose voice has held up after all the years.
He's not exactly screaming he's guts out like Robert plant or Rob Halford..
I'm no fan boy (but I am a pretty big fan, for nearly 35 years now), and Hyde Park 2018 was simply great. Every song was played and sung so clearly x
No one in the world sounds like Robert Smith.. he has one of the most unique voices that was ever heard in music.. And it's still amazing
Even though he's singing a lower register on this one when you listen to his other stuff he still sounds like you did when he was young... That is rare
Not just in his singing, but his writing as well. I would say he is the best overall song writer since 1940. Better than Lennon and McCartney.
Have you heard another Freddy Mercury, Robert Plant, Axel Rose, Phil Collins, etc? Yes he does sound unique, but so do most of the highly successful artists.
😊I am 80 years old and think the cure is in the top three 🎉in the world - oh sorry the second best in the world - oh sorry the best
He may not look young anymore but he definitely still sounds it!
I was gonna say the same thing he sounds exactly the same!!!
His voice has aged really well- saw them in Glasgow last year and Robert Smith sounded brand new, especially considering how they play for 3 hours every night
angel voice. never dies.
Yes! The best🙏☝👍❤
I don’t mind him being old, that happens to us all, I mind that his cosmetics make him look like the mad cat woman at the end of our road.
The whole Seventeen Seconds album is such a masterpiece.
My fav.
Je suis d accord...
My favourite too
This and Play For Today are in my top 5 songs
He wrote that masterpiece at 20, let that sink in. The Mozart or Beethoven of modern music
The moment Simon Gallup scratches his bass it was done. A msterpiece from The Cure
as melodic as their works are, when playing live they have a "lead drum & lead bass" sound
1.15 avengers assemble moment (AAM)
Think about it, it was forty years ago. Forty years ago this song came out.
Robert honestly doesn’t sound any different singing it at sixty years old than he did when he was twenty.
This is quite an accomplishment.
I know I can’t do anything as good as I could when this song came out. I loved it as much then as I do now.
Awesome time to be alive. Then and now.
And to think I haven't seen them since the Wish tour in 92 and they're smashing it harder (apart from the lame ending on this one) than they did then!
Reading your second to last sentence, I do understand more clearly now why your wife left you
I do a lot of things better today, than at 20. But I’m still a horrible singer. 😆
it seems like it could have been made yesterday A Forest is a timeless song
You can tell Robert feels everything that he writes and plays. He is the absolute best. There will never be another Robert or another band like the cure. I will be so heartbroken when they are not with us one day :(
But their music will live on and on.
So right sister. I often think the the same thing.
Don't even talk to me about that
I feel exactly the same...
That's for sure, make sure u get the next generation to listen to to it in the car car or something so they can have a good understanding of the music n pass it on n so n so on. 💐🇨🇮🎵🎶🎵🎧
Your the absolute best
They create masterpieces. Never heard a Cure song that wasn’t amazing
Naaaa, this is it kind of boring song.
@@RMM-X1 for that era, post punk scene. This song is relevant
For example this one.
The heaven one wasn’t that shit hot, was pretty mediocre
They have a lot of realy shitty song, A LOT.
I was there that night. Everyone was great, BUT The Cure lit it up. They had everyone up out of their seats and dancing. It was the best night!!!
Simon gallup's bass ft. The cure - a forest
😎
Simon paid off the sound guy.
This is the most appropriate comment about The Cure I have ever read.
Generally in goth rock the bass guitar is the loudest instrument.
Simon Gallup, one of Cure' signature...lead bass.
I love how the bass is so forward in this performance.
That's the Cure way.
Simon Gallup is the Cure’s secret weapon. His bass lines are recognizable and iconic.
Snaredrum sounds like s***t.
I was lucky enough to be there to see this in person. THE CURE were amazing. They stole the show!!
Lucky you
I just wrote basically the same thing on the "Shake Dog Shake" video. They were brilliant!
Except that Def Leppard was better.
@@rooh5825 it's like orange and apple, none is better than the other. It's all about taste and preference
@@rooh5825 Hahahahahahahahahahaha
People we're getting up and leaving during Def Leppard. Because they suck. And The Cure are the best live band out there.
Can you imagine being in art college as a student in the early 80’s with this music, in England. I had a great time! Brilliant times, brilliant music. God exists…..
Totally agree and also Siouxsie, Bahaus, Joy Division, ..Beautiful years, Beautiful youth

@@diggerthegroundhog8799 Bon Jovi was a cheap bar band, maybe 2/3 good songs.
Awesome times… Ive been a guitarist for over 50 years … around that time don’t also forget XTC , Steve Hillage, and ahh, The Groundhogs with Tony McPhee… Great days lads!
♥️
I love this band so much they feel like a family member who consoles me whenever I need them... They are my comfort blanket. X
YES!!
Robert’s voice is like chicken soup.
they were the cure for my breakup and even still i know the groups music is there for me when others really aren't
Well they alive now so be grateful 💃🏻
Fuck yeah💯‼️🤘☠️🖤. Just said what we were all thinking..
This is the best rock show ever performed at the hall of fame.
My favorite Cure song- has that perfect blend of gothic, New Wave and rock sounds. It's been decades but it still feels like I'm hearing it for the first time, thinking how amazing this sound is! 😍
Also one of my favorites.... 🥰
And Robert's delicate lead guitar in it is magnificent.
They were kind of ahead of their time in a way, that's probably a cliche, oh well.
You forgot DarkWave...all before Gothic...thats how Goth started ;)
♥️
First time listening to the cure. I am now a fan. Man So cool.
How old are you?
@theplanetruth 32.
This song is a generational icon, same as the band. 10/10
Simon Gallup is such a terribly underrated bass player. People do not understand how difficult it is to play a consistent bass line like he does in most songs for 5+ minutes and nail it each time.
Same haunting voice, and you have to respect someone who creates their own personal style and stays with it forever.

Ever heard of the Red Hot Chili Peppers? ;-)
Steve Harris of Iron Maiden anyone?
Steve Harris >
Uhh John Entwistle! Oooooh.... you said cardio..... I thought you said cocaine.... 😅
A Forest is my favorite song by The Cure. I was lucky enough to see them on the Blood Flowers tour. This song sounds incredible live. They are fantastic musicians.
♥️
Simons bass is the cure sound , first saw them at the Marque in 1979 , hooked ever since
yep that and roberts gibson.

Great song.
Great performance here.
But nothing touches the "In Orange" performance.

Fourty years ago, and again and again and again, always always always the first time : MAGIC

This is one of those songs you want to hear again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again...
This reminds me how much I’m missing(missed) on really digging into their whole catalogue. Everything I’ve ever heard from them is always delightful.

Je suis Français, et j'adore ce groupe depuis ses débuts. Robert Smith me semble être un bel humain
Genius 4 ever!!! Universal Rock!!!!God Bless UK.....
This is definitely in my top favorite Cure songs.❤️
Me too!
The Cure is the best! Love " A Forest" for so long now. I discovered the band in '85 and have loved them ever since!
Same as me! 49 here and never stopped listening to them
One of the greatest rock songs ever
One of the best ever!!! Robert has a stunning voice and the band sounds super!!!
