The kids are finally catching up to the fact this band sounds EXACTLY like they do in concert as they do on an album. There aren't too many people or bands who can say the same. The Cure is pure and raw talent.
If you're searching for a song that reflects life & death duality, this one does. The music, the lyrics, Robert Smith's voice... Everything is just perfect. Makes me think about the end of the world 🪽✨️
This, my friends, is the heart of Cure's music- dark, edgy and ethereal but at the same time romantic and pulls anyone in if given a chance. You can't quite pin it down if it is offering you a glimmer of hope or complete despair but it will surely take you on a journey like no other music. This is how music should be about but rarely anyone makes it for these reasons. The Cure's music is an honest expression and reflection of different aspects of life.
The Cure's original is better from a technical sense, is so deep and ethereal. Deftones did such a good ohmage to this at their Icon show. Blending the 2 bands, genres, eras together was beautiful.
Robert Smith is one of very few singers who’s voices seemed to age like fine wine, it’s almost unreal. This song is pure sex, Robert’s voice just transcends it to a whole other level.
God bless the Cure I saw then at Hollywood bowl 6 months ago and it was one of if not the best shows I have ever seen in my life and I've seen A LOT of shows!
@@kaydgaming it's not THAT poppy lol and even the pop songs still have a lot of artistic flair and have unconventional structures. Probably their most ambitious album imo, one of my favorites
@@05Tundraguy I think maybe he thanks deftones, because this presentation is quite similar to the cover that deftones does in the "mtv icons" of the cure, anyway, thanks deftones and the cure!
The Cure are one of the few groups that sound better live than the official recordings. A Forest live from 1992 is another amazing live that's not on Spotify 😢
Who can't love Robert Smith and the rest? Lyrics, voice, music..even separately, can send you to a most surreal state of serenity, or a night of deep melancholy in the darkest forest.
Robert Smith is a genius and I love his newest music better than the older stuff as he has matured into a fantastic singer, songwriter and what a fabulous voice!!💙🎸🥰
If only tonight we could sleep In a bed made of flowers If only tonight we could fall In a deathless spell If only tonight we could slide Into deep black water And breathe And breathe Then an angel would come With burning eyes like stars And bury us deep In his velvet arms And the rain would cry As our faces slipped away And the rain would cry Don't let it end
From my Facebook wall: 35 years ago, the legendary British alternative rock band, The Cure, released the studio material called "Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me", which included this enigmatic melody. Whether you know the song, or have never heard it, I share with you my absolutely personal interpretation of its narrative. It seems that we are facing a Gothic elegy in which Robert Smith's guitar simulates the opening of a multidimensional door through which emerges a ghostly presence that dedicates a few words, in the form of lament, to another soul equally ethereal and, apparently, unattainable. At the end of the singing of this wandering spirit, the guitar closes the multidimensional door again while the keyboardist, evoking the sound of an ancient and mysterious flute, places on the door a seal in the form of a timeless spell. Many songs have a story to tell through the lyrics and instrumental sections in the melody and, sometimes very clear as this, also building an atmosphere conducive to give more solidity to the narrative. Millions of followers around the world love this phenomenal dark ballad, representative of the band's most refined and sublime gothic style.
Deftones did a great cover but the original with Robert Smiths excellent vocals is incomparable. The Cure is the best and Robert Smith’s a genius. I’m 45 now and still a Cure fan. 🙏❤️🤩🦹🏻♂️
Exactly. :) Back then I made a tape with only this song on it, I had copied from my LP to put in my walkman. One of my ten favourite endless-loops before there were CD's. This is so magic.
I have seen The Cure a few times in concert, and they are a band that are really great live, you are there it starts and it's done because it gets you into and it over, they are all just awesome. Thanks for the times, and these songs that get some of us through this thing called Life
Robert est un Très Grand guitariste car il en joue toujours de manière inspirée et en complète osmose avec ses musiciens. Et tout en restant hyper créatif selon la guitare en main. C'est fabuleux. Tout est sublimé. Quel cadeau. c'est tout simplement somptueux et nouveau. Il a inventé des sons nouveaux, des effets nouveaux, des climats, et des paysages sonores nouveaux tout au long de sa carrière. C'est un maître en la matière pour les personnes qui jouent de la guitare. Cette inventivité est sublime. Magique. C'est ce son inimitable de The Cure. Toujours avec des nouveaux sons et une cohérence par rapport à l'œuvre. C'est assez rare pour être souligné. Bravo et encore bravo. Bravoooo oui bravo 🌹😘🌹👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Oui d'accord avec toi, Robert est un guitariste sous estimé (il ne fait rien de super technique ça doit être pour ça) mais il est dans la cour des grands gratteux, car il a un univers précis, rien qu'à lui et à la disposition de ses compos (plutôt que l'inverse chez beaucoup! ) THE CURE FOREVER (bon et les Beatles forever aussi forcément vu notre chaîne et notre groupe! :) )
La escuchaba en el 87 por las noches en las playas de Málaga con amigos y colegas con nuestros porritos, nuestras litronas y kalimochos y todos nos quedábamos en trance, mirando al cielo oscuro con estrellas ... Ahora me sigue pasando igual pero yo solo y sin tanta parafernalia. Unos whiskeys y a disfrutar. Canción mágica, extraña, relajante y sobre todo hermosa, tremendamente hermosa. Y este Robert Smith y sus The Cure tienen unas cuantas...
This is an amazing live version of what Robert Smith wants us to see he dreams at night. Hands down the most unique and obscure of anything out there. Early Pink Floyd inspirations but without the loss of sanity.
Too many Deftones fans who arent familiar w the Cure Obvioysly Robert Smith is a huge influence on Chin0's vocal style And the Cure has a heavy stamp of influence on the entire Deftones sound So thank the Cure for that ❤
Everyone is entitled to an opinion and they all matter. The MTV cover deftones did.. did it properly. Chino was not messin around. He was nervous till he sang a note. The look on robs face w crossed arms is everything. Thank them both for doing a fantastic job.... but straight up... Thank you deftones! 😊
ROBERT SMITH ,Im sending smokemarks and flying kisses to your face ..from north europe FINLAND. hopefully u see this,but intn the cure official page, so u dont. IN INTUITION.
The kids are finally catching up to the fact this band sounds EXACTLY like they do in concert as they do on an album.
There aren't too many people or bands who can say the same.
The Cure is pure and raw talent.
They're mostly a live band. Of course, they don't jump around or do theatrics, but the music is there.
If you're searching for a song that reflects life & death duality, this one does.
The music, the lyrics, Robert Smith's voice... Everything is just perfect.

Perfectly said! Love it.
your songs are better
The Cure's original is better from a technical sense, is so deep and ethereal. Deftones did such a good ohmage to this at their Icon show. Blending the 2 bands, genres, eras together was beautiful.
❤
I saw this live, from the 3rd row, in 1996 and when Robert did that slow pick slide, my face melted off.
Sick af ❤
I SAW this live at exactly in the tempodrom 2002 in berlin, opposite and far from the stage
@@i.t.1722 Either way it's amazing just to be at a live Cure show.
Robert Smith is a genius. This song is spellbinding, pure magic.
Probably one of the best and most haunting songs ever. Make me wanna put my goth skin again. Definitely a top hit for making babies sleep
Yep! My baby boy used to fall asleep to this.
Goth skin...

This song is very exotic and sophisticated in terms of resources. So psychodelic, I love it.
In my opinion this is the greatest song on the kiss me album.
I agree. I think much of the album was too poppy, even though they were good songs.
This is my absolute favorite cure song. I'm getting the title tattooed on my body soon
This, and The Kiss
It 's a wondeful álbum , my favourite , lovely addictive .
@@kaydgaming it's not THAT poppy lol and even the pop songs still have a lot of artistic flair and have unconventional structures. Probably their most ambitious album imo, one of my favorites
Cure is pure magic, you gotta love it. If you dont love it you didnt listened to it. Absolutely genius, always
The cure Es magia siempre …. Este tema especialmente … me siento en otro plano… sublime🖤❤️🔥!!!
Thank you, Deftones.
Only reason I’m here is because of the Deftones wanted to hear the original. Never gave The Cure a chance maybe I should?
@@05Tundraguy I think maybe he thanks deftones, because this presentation is quite similar to the cover that deftones does in the "mtv icons" of the cure, anyway, thanks deftones and the cure!
I like deftones version better in my opinion. I love the cure. But love deftones more lol
He but feeling into this one! 🖤
Deftones,,,,way better
This is a very haunting and beautiful song. One of my absolute favorites. It has all the quintessential Cure elements that make their music so unique.
What he does from 1:38 is only in this live version. Unbeatable. Wish we had a Spotify release for the whole Trilogy gig.
The Cure are one of the few groups that sound better live than the official recordings. A Forest live from 1992 is another amazing live that's not on Spotify 😢
you got the entire trilogy on apple music
The subtleness of this great song by an aged rock star's voice is so great to hear. I plan to listen to it in my final moments.
Song still gives me chills all over... this live version is perfect.
Thought I was the only one
Agree with you ! So amazing !
My favorite song by the cure... Sooo eerie and haunting... LOVE IT!!!
It's in my top 5 favourite Cure songs. There's something undeniably mystical and powerful about it that always draws me in.
It's totally impossible for me to pick a favorite!!! But some days this is it!! 🙆 And this is a beautiful live version..Listen to it often.
I want to live in this song
Fuck'n'A right!!! This song is life!!
This is Art
IM A HARDCORE DEFTONES FAN.. BUT NOTHING BEATS THE ORIGINAL SONG
I was a hardcore Cure fabn. But i liked the Deftones version better. To be honest. The album version is not as great as this live version.
@@KeimpeJ I agree chinos vocals just captured something so magical
@@spiralations7304 agree it somehow makes me feel smthg. both version r good but i prefer chinos voice🙌
the "trilogy", dvd improves with age......incredible that it can be bought in London for a "fiver"........brilliant line - up as well....
just saw them last night at Madison Square Garden, still fantastic
This song always ends way too soon. It should be an hour long at least
Gona listen again then ✨💕
That guitar solo......
rmb + loop
You're overreacting. 10 minutes would be fine.
@@KeimpeJ But an hour is better
Who can't love Robert Smith and the rest?
Lyrics, voice, music..even separately, can send you to a most surreal state of serenity, or a night of deep melancholy in the darkest forest.
Robert Smith is a genius and I love his newest music better than the older stuff as he has matured into a fantastic singer, songwriter and what a fabulous voice!!💙🎸🥰
But this is before disintegration
Are you talking about this song, because it came out in 1987.
This is old skool 😺
@@peterhunter9797 😂
A great mastepiece. A haunting song. The best haunting sound of The CURE and Robert Smith ! Love it. Just breathtaking
Robert doesnt get the credit he deserves as a guitar player. He is an amazing guitarist.
If only tonight we could sleep
In a bed made of flowers
If only tonight we could fall
In a deathless spell
If only tonight we could slide
Into deep black water
And breathe
And breathe
Then an angel would come
With burning eyes like stars
And bury us deep
In his velvet arms
And the rain would cry
As our faces slipped away
And the rain would cry
Don't let it end
Ended too soon
Sounds fantastic live...

A fantastic song.... the tempo and mix of symbols, guitars,bass and drums are brilliant ....very clever
dkmyww Agreed. I really love this song.
Beautifully done! I love it! I love them!💞

This song proves that any and all The Cure songs are Great Works of Art, regardless how short or long...
Transcendant ...encore une magnifique chanson de Cure 😍
A real masterpiece ! Another gem of The CURE and Robert Smith ! Exotic sound. Deep lyrics ! It's just perfect !
His voice has held up well he sounds awesome. And the band is just as awesome!
Easily one of my favorite songs by The Cure!
May be one if the greatest masterpieces of The CURE. Don't let it end !
Of all the bands Cure is my favorite ❤️❤️❤️love these guys
Great Piece of Art!
Might be my favorite!!...I don't know....it's so hard to choose!!!...But right this minute I'm loving it!!!
this song is incredible
Mesmerized by this song and by Robert! ... Soooo good! 🖤
My god this is so damn beautiful
Agree with you. The CURE : beaucoup de rêve et de poésie dans leurs chansons
This is by far their best peice of music!
If only tonight we could sleep is by far one of my favourite cure songs it brings me to tears nearly everytime I listen to it
From Charles Baudelaire it always touchs the heart. 2nd song from one of his write: How beautiful you are. :)
Every time Robert offers different versions of the instrumental arrangement. And they never be bored.
They still rock! You wish you were there.
This one is not for everyone. You need to be a true hardcore Cure fan to really feel every sense of this magical tune.
i don’t know much about the cure but when something slaps it slaps 🔥
Yeah, I don't know about that. I've never listened to much of The Cure and this is a gorgeous song.
@@padawansound6423 he just wanna seem special lmao
@@Luxarium I am special, and so you are. Peace.
Absolutely spellbinding, awesome performance.

ONE from the ETERNAL MUSIC GROUPs = ONE of the _ ETERNAL MUSIC BANDs
❤️
Brillante, lo mejor de The Cure es verlos en vivo. Lo maximo
Getting chills 💓
I love the fact that Perry I playing acoustic on this live version x
Musica magica, wonderful Cure, grazie di esistere!!
The Cure Magical Music !
best song they did
Perfect song 🎸🎶💖
4:00 it makes me cry
So wonderful🎶
I was there. My heart...
This just made my day :) Thank you.
Thanks Deftones, both versions are awesome
Here's an idea. How's about we enjoy both versions of an awesome song by two awesome bands that admire each other.
So talented 🙌🖤
I just want to feel how it really feels to slide in to deep like water
Sometimes I feel like this song like I want to fade away. Be able to breathe in deep black water........i don't want to exist
If Only Tonight We Could Sleep after i this, no possibility
WOW EXCELLENT
quel groupe fantastique, un son, une voix, et pas des flemmards sur scène.....
the intro takes you on a journy only acid can do
Thank you Deftones This is so Good!!!!!
💯 Thank you Deftones ❣
Sorry, but The Cure's version is and will always be the best. It's the original. The Def Tones stole from them.
@@CBaller2020i wouldn’t say they stole it, they played it live once as an homage and the cure were in the audience
Damn.. just Damn
Too many Deftones fans who arent familiar w the Cure
Obvioysly Robert Smith is a huge influence on Chin0's vocal style
And the Cure has a heavy stamp of influence on the entire Deftones sound
So thank the Cure for that ❤
Majestic brilliance

I was originally drawn to this song by the deftones cover, but this is the best version by far.
So good!!!!
HIs voice in this is unearthly
I hate to do this but his sign is that of earth hahah he’s a Taurus (an earth sign 😉) a very sensual sign at that
@@Amanda-dm5qr and he's born on the cusp of Aries (Fire) and that earthy Taurus.
@@Amanda-dm5qr do you know his Ascendent and Moon sign?..some kind of unearthly going on there.
Karen Hannegan according to a couple websites I found he’s either a Virgo or Libra moon, and either a Sagittarius or Leo rising
This song made love to me.
Check out deftones version ... I wonder what it will do 2 U ;-P
ROBERT SMITH ,Im sending smokemarks and flying kisses to your face ..from north europe FINLAND. hopefully u see this,but intn the cure official page, so u dont. IN INTUITION.
even Robert being goth makes me love him
Mary Sanderson Fun Fact , he DOESN'T like being associated with the term " goth "
I was there.this and the kiss were the highlights
So fucking dreamy. Goosebumps still ...in 2020. 💓
