Yes! I'm 59! Love Robert Smith! ❤ I've been a fan of The Cure since "Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me" I bought the cd in the summer of '87 because it was on sale. I'd never heard of them. I'm so glad that I took a chance and bought that cd.
I have a feeling he's been overwhelmed and appreciative of the crowds they have been getting. And rightly so. One of the best bands of the last 50 years.
I think you're exactly right. He seems to have really connected with his fans in a way I've never seen. Hopefully, he realizes just how loved he truly is.
@@KittensgiveMorbogas I take it you’re not a fan. You don’t seem to appreciate what this band means to people and how deeply we resonate with the songs.
Awww Robert 😢i cried seeing you cry 😢 you look so sad 😞 I've loved The Cure for ever and ever ❤️ and all these years later still sound brilliant 👏 LOVE YOU FOREVER ROBERT ❤❤❤❤❤
Robert is aging...he's been around forever...and I can't imagine the gratitude and love he holds for all of us.... it shows. He sounds amazing still. He is so genuine
I have lost my Mother, Father, Wife of 27 yrs in the past 10 yrs.. Thank You Robert and band for helping me and thousands of others cope with grief through your beautiful music.. Edit: through all the grief I managed to stay clean and sober. Today I celebrate 16 years. That’s 5,872 One Day at a Time’s. ☮️♥️
I'm so sorry. Any death of a loved one is hard to deal with on its own let alone 3 in just 10 years. I'm glad you were able to find comfort in the beauty of The Cure's music.
Sorry for you...another kind of grief for me...a very sad and violent breakup...I find in Robert Smith's music that humanity that sometimes lacks in people hearts...art makes us more human...and help us.
I’m so sorry. My deepest condolences to you. I lost my beloved aunt and maternal grandparents in the last 15 years. It’s been difficult. Going to the Cure shows was incredibly emotional. Robert Smiths lyrics resonate so if your missing a loved one, tears will flow. I had a good cry at the shows. Sending good thoughts your way ❤❤
The fact that he can still get so emotional performing after all of these years speaks VOLUMES about the beautiful, sensitive and humble man that he is. A true artist and one of the best poets in history. Seeing them live was a literal dream come true for me 🖤
On Depeche Mode's "Ultra" album the songs "Useless" and "It's No Good" have the same dark beauty the "Disintegration" songs have, especially "Plainsong", "Lullaby" and the title track.@@indiana1793
Written when Robert was 30,I think those lyrics echo really deep in him,now 63, aging and having lost family members,It's the thing I like the most about Robert,he's humble,very sensitive,deeply human,the kind of artist you can trust,his music coming from a pure and honest place,this guy helped me in this life...in hard moments ,gratitude forever,from the bottom of my heart,thank you Robert.
@@regionregion-ym9xl thank you,I've been in Portugal,a short voyage in 1988,I was 16,I remember very well warm people,very friendly ,good food,nice memories,take care.👋
Wow,the man is being real.all of you concerned about his health,even if he is ill give him a break.even anything he deserves Privacy,shit he has been in the spotlight most of his life.let him be real.
He clearly could be doing a much better job. Just look at Simon. They’re both the same age. It’s not about looks per say . It’s just about longevity. It will be a sad day when Robert leaves us.
His music is timeless. It speaks to people of all ages. First listened in 1989, still listening in 2023. It becomes ever so more relatable with the passing of time. Will still be listening 20 years from now.
i feel exactly the same. I came of age with their music back in the early 90s and i feel like their songs kinda grow with you. Their meaning changes with you, in a very relevant, profound way, and at the same time they ground you, they makes you remember who you are.
He really is the saviour of our universe and still so relevant. Strange times with the gorillaz proves that. Disintegration prayer tour was the first time i managed to see them live. The feeling when they stepped out was euphoric 🧟♀️❤✌🤘
Robert Smith lost his brother, I also lost one of my brothers in 2020. The Cure was my late brother’s favorite band, so my sister and my eldest brother and I all went to this concert in ATL. It was very emotional for us. I understand that lingering sadness… I wish we could have gotten to actually meet RS. He seems like a kind soul.
So sorry for your emotional pain. I think Robert Smith is an introvert who loves to write and play music but not necessarily play it in front of people. His music is calming and healing in ways.
@@tiredofit4761very true wat you just said I do believe he's introvert and not really craving the celeb limelight but the music is were it's at for him so he has to do few things in that world for the sake of the band n music I guess.
One of their best songs…. “"I think it's dark and it looks like rain, " you said "And the wind is blowing Like it's the end of the world, " you said "And it's so cold, it's like the cold if you were dead" Then you smiled for a second "I think I'm old and I'm feeling pain, " you said "And it's all running out Like it's the end of the world, " you said "And it's so cold, it's like the cold if you were dead" Then you smiled for a second Sometimes you make me feel Like I'm living at the edge of the world Like I'm living at the edge of the world "It's just the way I smile, " you said”
Just want to say thanks for writing that out. It caught my eye and reading it took me right back to the 80s and thoughts and feelings I haven't experienced in a LONG time.
Very 1st gig. The Cure and Souxsie and the banshees ❤1979 will never forget.. 😊 I'm still following Robert Smith at 58 years old.. with my grown-up sons. 😊 Timeless music 🎶 🎵 ❤ Love you, Rob Smith 😍 ✌️ ❤
@@Fakename70 Dude was trying to "correct" me but culdn't even understand what i accurately said. Do i have to explain with a drawing to you, too? Please, don't leave school early, people.
@@liberispuritatem Actually, Patrick said he’s “heard of the Cure” since 1983, not this particular song. So, yeah, I corrected you for jumping down someone’s throat when they didn’t actually say anything worthy of that. Maybe Reading Comprehension isn’t your strong suit.
I'd love to give him a big hug. Tell him even though I've heard all his songs 1,000 times before, some days they can make me cry too. That's the beauty of a true artist such as himself.
Been a Cure fan since the 80s. My husband and I married in 1996, after we met in high school in 1984. We chose to spend our honeymoon money on front row tickets to see the Cure in Chicago. It wasn’t our first time, but we never sat in the front before, and we were given drum sticks after the show when they heard our story. It is one of the greatest concert memories we have, right along with being handed the mic to sing Everything Counts with Depeche Mode’s David Gahan at the Milwaukee Summer Fest in the 1990s.
That's a pretty amazing story. You're money bought you something that will be one of the best memories between the two of you for the rest of your lives.
@k8shrew69 my wife & I have a similar backstory. We were at a party at a mutual friend's house and she was the only other person besides me dressed in black. I didn't use "a line" on her, we just started talking music - they were playing metal and we wanted Bauhaus or The Cure or anything else - and it was as natural as our whole relationship has been ever since. That was January 1992 and we're still together. ❤️
Been to Summerfest. Saw RHCP in 2016, I think or 2017. After The Getaway was released. Lovely time in Milwaukee.. passed down rain most of the concert. Froze my tits off. Soaked to the skin and walked back to hotel after show. Sneakers were waterlogged the next day.Squeaked all the way back to Floriduh! First stop on my Last Gasp tour. Love music so fucking much it almost hurts.
Du coup je pleure aussi...quel homme sensible Robert Smith, très émouvant. J'❤ Et quel superbe morceau, tout le monde peut se reconnaître dans la musique de the cure...the best. I love you for ever Merci d'exister
because when he wrote this he was sincere and put his heart in it like artists do, so now he recognizes those emotions whenever he sings them even after 30 years
It must be really difficult to sing such an emotional song,I find it difficult listening to this masterpiece without having tears in my eyes.It’s so melancholic the thought of being happy when all over the world there’s so much sadness.Well done Mr.Smith for holding it together under extreme circumstances.This is why millions of us Cure fans regard him as the King of Kings
Plainsong enters your body and you’re never the same again. I cried too when I heard it live in Salt Lake in June. It is one of my top 20 favorite songs ever. The intro, the words, the lack of a chorus; it’s a perfect Cure song. It’s a perfect song.
There are no words to describe Robert Smith...the melodious, mysterious man who sings like an angel.. He brings joy, empathy, and genuineness to a lost 🌎 world . Saw him in Cleveland @ 🌸 Blossom..Bucket list dream.. Once in a lifetime..just like heaven❤
I always loved this song. I get emotional every time i hear it. 💔💜🖤💚 Disintegration is my favorite Cure album. I love all of them..but that one is the one that sold me forever on "The Cure." I felt everything. You are legends! ❤
I´ve seen a couple of videos with tears on his face the last year. And what I find so beautiful is that he doesn´t hide his emotions. He also never makes it into a big deal. They are just there and it seems like he is ok with that. I mean of course it is hard to be sad (or whatever emotion the tears comes from) but still he seems to accept them. That is not easy. At all. Espacially not in front of so many people. But he makes it feel alright to be sad. And to cry. And to show emotions. It´s just human. And I love him for it.
nature give us emotions, at 69 i`ll tell ya they mean more and differently as we age because we understand them and dont have to play tuff. its part of nature and being human.
EXACTLY, being yourself and showing your emotions in front of so many ppl so openly just shows how well he is connected to the mass consciousness which surrounds us all...the more ppl tap into that the better humans we all become as a result.❤
This song has been evoking chills or tears from me for over 30 years, it never just plays in the background without affecting me in some way. I can imagine the man who wrote it has a real world connection to the lyrics, rather than it being metaphorical. The Cure always touch me, without fail.
I was never particularly a Cure fan ,but that is beautiful to see a real worn person crying ugly tears in front of everyone. He is blessed to have that space where he is loved by a whole tribe
The Cure isn't for everyone, but Robert Smith can write some of the most beautifully sweet, deeply powerful and soul-wrenching lyrics. His fans absolutely adore him (myself included).
I never took any notice of the Cure. I haven't ever even tried to explore their music, heard some on tv or radio but I wasn't moved to explore it further. I still don't get it but obviously he's liked and admired and has held his audience for many years so I respect him for that.
I just sobbed watching this. I was at this show as well. This was the opening song when I saw them on the prayer tour in Atlanta when I was 14 (I'm 47 now). And it was their opening song when I saw them in Atlanta in 2016. They are forever my heart and spirit. The greatest band to ever grace the planet.
I was at the prayer concert in Atlanta when I was 14. I stood outside Turtle records waiting for them to open so I could get good seats. We had 3 row center. I didn’t tell my parents I was going into the city, I went with a kid from school that had a car. I payed for everything, he drove. I spent a total of $150. We got shirts, food and gas both ways. I’m 47 now, 2 adult children. They love all the music I grew up on, and some newer stuff. But will never be able to enjoy a show like this at todays cost. So sad how the young people are priced out of experiencing life like we did.
Among his many wonderful traits is Robert's concern for the fans. Alone among his contemporaries Robert stood up to the Ticketmaster monster and insisted prices stayed 0:08 affordable. Sorry you weren't able to enjoy this tour with your kids but maybe next time ...
He lost his brother recently and has had a few emotional moments on stage since. Not sure if the words in the song remind him of his brother or he is just still grieving….who knows.
His sweet smile is everything! His face seems to show the beautiful heart within him. To see him wipe away his tears, broke me. Honestly, The Cure’s music has evoked many tears, many emotions. I’m so grateful for Robert Smith, The Cure, for giving us all the amazingly beautiful music that they have. 🙏🏽❤️🩹
The Cure is like no other band. They're many great bands and musicians but this band and man are special. Some of their songs bring out so much emotion. It takes you on a trip and you remember times in your life. Their will only be 1 Robert Smith❤🙏👍👌👌👌
Love you Robert you gave me such a beautiful song pictures of you thank you my favorite song in the whole world and always will be thank you for touching my heart and my soul
Hi...I lost my baby brother coming up on 5 years ago on July 23, and it feels like just yesterday...my God, idk how he doesn't choke on the words; his music is his emotion, his communication, and he gives it all to us Cure fans, tells us his stories, albeit in a lyrically cryptic way sometimes... but we are his fan family, you gave him your love in person, that's so great you could experience this, I'm afraid I would have cried along with him; for him, and for me. Thank you for sharing. ✨❤️✨
I’m turning 49 in a few weeks, just learned to play guitar started in Jan 21. I balled my eyes out trying to write my first song. I would love to see his process. How does he make through these deep tunes? Music is one of the only things that makes me cry these days. So glad I picked up that guitar. Allows me to zone out. Love the Cure a lot.
I lost my beautiful loving wife two months ago from vax shedding turbo cancer. She was only 34. suffered so much before dying. In our 18 years together, The Cure concert was the only few concerts we went that I cherished. This song meant so much now, even as I've listened back in the 80s. The pain and tears are unbearable as I see this world falling apart without you by my side. Miss you dear, will see you soon.
@nol374 Thank you so much. She came back as a sunbird as Ive asked her to before she passed. This world is a mysteriously beautiful and hopeful place amidst the darkness. Perhaps the soul is eternal just like Robert's happy sad songs.
I’m so sorry you lost your beautiful wife so young. I lost my partner in late January, he drowned swimming in the ocean after work. He was a musician & loved the Cure too & we always planned to see them if they came to Australia again. I was lucky to have early entry tix in 2016 & was mere metres from Robert. It was the best show I’ve ever been to, 3 & a half hours! I cry often & easily. Watching this I cried. I’ve loved the Cure since my teens & Im 57. My favourite band always that speaks to my soul. I hope I get to see them again.
@@MsRedbelly Thank you so much for your caring words. I am sorry to hear about your partner's passing too. We don't know the hour of our deaths but at least we found each other, she said. Some people go through life without finding their soulmate. My concert was in singapore 2007, kind of far away seats. but it was the celebration of us vibing the same taste for music that makes it special. I can understand exactly how you feel, the silence and being left alone so early in life. Im 51 and totally lost. Cant even play my electric guitar with the same joy. Constant anxiety attacks and tears. If theres any consolation for all of us, this world is not gonna last any longer with what has happened globally these few years. I tried not to talk about my tragedy here on youtube, but seeing robert crying and the lyrics of the song just made me had to connect with the world.
Such a good heart , so much feeling Robert Smith, just feel the lyrics and your music. I am 60 years old and followed The Cure for so many years. Still in my heart forever
Thank you Robert Smith for a lifetime of memories and nostalgia. My life has at times had a soundtrack for feelings that words could never express. Respect
I think he is taking it all in knowing this will probably be their last tour in America. I have loved them since 6th grade. Never got to see them until this tour. Very grateful I got to see them. One of the best bands of all time.
@@jackiestewart9478 He said it at the end of every show but in Montreal he said something like "IF we do this again, we're definitely coming back here". I'm hopeful they'll do it again as long as they can still perform at this level but it might've been the last time.
The Cure happened to be playing in Prague while I was visiting Prague, Vienna and Budapest from the USA. I was so glad I went to the concert. Robert put his heart and soul into that performance. I'm guessing this will be their last tour. It was outstanding. I had never bought a Cure album or had any of their songs in my play list but it was one of the best concerts I ever attended. I'm 70 so I have been to a few concerts in my life but none compared to the emotion put forth by Robert.
This is one of those songs that always fills me with bittersweet poignancy now as i'm getting older. The emotion in this song is so beautiful and timeless it's hard to not be affected by it. Robert is a tremendous artist that bares his soul. 💙
Grief comes and goes in tides. Perhaps it was an emotional day overall, maybe the day/date has significance. I don't know when exactly he lost his brother and parents but that with the overwhelming nature of a tour, sometimes things hit like a freight train at unexpected times. He seems really open and receptive more than ever on this tour and cannot help but hope he's okay. If I'm not mistaken this is the first tour out of the pandemic too..emotions are at an all time high and even he can't escape the catharsis of his own music. We can only send him love--hate to see him hurting--choked me up too. Thanks for sharing.
Roberts vocal delivery of his lyrics pulls on the listeners emotions. No one can write a melancholy love song that sounds so beautiful as Robert can. His voice hasn't diminished with age.
If you've lost someone who this absolutely achingly beautiful song is about for you... you will cry too 💔🥺 But especially seeing him doing it. I've never seen him like this despite decades of following them. Thank you.
you’re right, i saw them in Portland and also felt like it was a really intense show. Same for all the other clips of this tour i’ve seen. I saw them 3 other times years ago and it was not like this tour.
I lost someone a few years ago and ever since I will cry so easily, but I never did before. It changes something in you when you realize how quickly someone can just disappear and how precious time is. I can barely listen to this song anymore without crying, its just such a beautiful song. Imo along with pictures of you, I'd say they're the most moving songs I have ever heard.
Look how bad he looks. Lifes been hard on him. Hes been through so much pain and suffering. This was a sweet sort of homage to his own work. Really Sweet Crowd.
This is my favorite Cure song. I’m in my early 40s and I’ve been listening to them since I was in elementary school. I have a 13 year old and when I clicked on this video she immediately said, “Is this the Cure? Is this Plainsong?” She also said she would love to go see them live. I pray she passes this on to her kids. I think his tears are bittersweet. I love it. Memento Mori (Remember you will die). 🖤💀
Just, Beautiful ❤️. A true artist and singer. Now that is REAL 😍 I love you Robert Smith. I thank you for your music. I haved loved you scene I was 13 And now I'm 50❤
I love The Cure, started listening to them in junior high in 1981, I remember in my art class I did a bust of Robert’s head with all the hair and makeup, was the coolest thing I ever made in school. ❤
I hope his tears are from being thankful and gratitude towards us because it hurts me seeing him crying I love and respect this wonderful human being, and pray his in good health and all the members that has been in the cure of course
How fortunate are we all to live during the same time period as Robert❤
The cure is magic
35 years later and this is still the best opening track of any album. In my humble opinion anyway.
Whhaaaaat?
Agree. This song is super incredibly underrated. Such an angelic song.
I think 100% the same
Whole album is genius but Plainsong is a brilliant start to Disintegration and also any concert.
Y in Vivo 💜
I’m 76 and have followed the Cure from the start. Band members may change but the incredible Robert Smith IS the Cure. I love him ❤️❤️
I love him too I'm soon 66 and always loved Robert Smith The Cure....legend. ❤❤

One of their best songs….
“"I think it's dark and it looks like rain, " you said
"And the wind is blowing

@@patrickcooney9636 He isn't singing that song since 1983. It's in the 1989 album. Want me to explain to you with a drawing?
@@liberispuritatem
That’s not what Patrick said
@@Fakename70 Dude was trying to "correct" me but culdn't even understand what i accurately said. Do i have to explain with a drawing to you, too?
Please, don't leave school early, people.

Actually, Patrick said he’s “heard of the Cure” since 1983, not this particular song. So, yeah, I corrected you for jumping down someone’s throat when they didn’t actually say anything worthy of that. Maybe Reading Comprehension isn’t your strong suit.
I'd love to give him a big hug. Tell him even though I've heard all his songs 1,000 times before, some days they can make me cry too. That's the beauty of a true artist such as himself.
Been a Cure fan since the 80s. My husband and I married in 1996, after we met in high school in 1984. We chose to spend our honeymoon money on front row tickets to see the Cure in Chicago. It wasn’t our first time, but we never sat in the front before, and we were given drum sticks after the show when they heard our story. It is one of the greatest concert memories we have, right along with being handed the mic to sing Everything Counts with Depeche Mode’s David Gahan at the Milwaukee Summer Fest in the 1990s.
That's a pretty amazing story. You're money bought you something that will be one of the best memories between the two of you for the rest of your lives.
@k8shrew69 my wife & I have a similar backstory. We were at a party at a mutual friend's house and she was the only other person besides me dressed in black. I didn't use "a line" on her, we just started talking music - they were playing metal and we wanted Bauhaus or The Cure or anything else - and it was as natural as our whole relationship has been ever since. That was January 1992 and we're still together. ❤️
Been to Summerfest. Saw RHCP in 2016, I think or 2017. After The Getaway was released. Lovely time in Milwaukee.. passed down rain most of the concert. Froze my tits off. Soaked to the skin and walked back to hotel after show. Sneakers were waterlogged the next day.Squeaked all the way back to Floriduh! First stop on my Last Gasp tour. Love music so fucking much it almost hurts.
Pissed down rain. Shivered as I danced through whole show!
A most unique and special artist whose popularity will never wain’. A icon and you deserve it Robert and the members of Cure!
Im blessed to have lived during Robert Smith's lifetime...to have never heard his voice would have been such a loss
Du coup je pleure aussi...quel homme sensible Robert Smith, très émouvant. J'❤
Et quel superbe morceau, tout le monde peut se reconnaître dans la musique de the cure...the best. I love you for ever
Merci d'exister
Songs that have the ability to overwhelm even their creator; a testament to his amazing abilities.
because when he wrote this he was sincere and put his heart in it like artists do, so now he recognizes those emotions whenever he sings them even after 30 years
It must be really difficult to sing such an emotional song,I find it difficult listening to this masterpiece without having tears in my eyes.It’s so melancholic the thought of being happy when all over the world there’s so much sadness.Well done Mr.Smith for holding it together under extreme circumstances.This is why millions of us Cure fans regard him as the King of Kings
Plainsong enters your body and you’re never the same again. I cried too when I heard it live in Salt Lake in June. It is one of my top 20 favorite songs ever. The intro, the words, the lack of a chorus; it’s a perfect Cure song. It’s a perfect song.
Yessss I saw them in Philadelphia I just closed my eyes and let the music engulf me with tears in my eyes…amazing ❤
@@louiZiana-Gurl Couldn't Agree anymore ! Hands Down to One of The all Time most Beautiful Songs !!!! So Thankful they did This in Philly
Definitely hard to say exactly where, but whatever number it is, it's super comfortable in my top best fav..10 ever songs,big i had to decide on 10.
This melody is so beautiful
There are no words to describe Robert Smith...the melodious, mysterious man who sings like an angel..
He brings joy, empathy, and genuineness to a lost 🌎 world .
Saw him in Cleveland @ 🌸 Blossom..Bucket list dream..
Once in a lifetime..just like heaven❤
I was at Blossom as well. What a joy it was to be there. Totally agree with what you say about him!!
I always loved this song. I get emotional every time i hear it. 💔💜🖤💚 Disintegration is my favorite Cure album. I love all of them..but that one is the one that sold me forever on "The Cure." I felt everything. You are legends! ❤
A masterpiece of a song. The Cure is timeless.
😮
Their music & lyrics always was so emotional...that's why I love them so 😢
I´ve seen a couple of videos with tears on his face the last year. And what I find so beautiful is that he doesn´t hide his emotions. He also never makes it into a big deal. They are just there and it seems like he is ok with that. I mean of course it is hard to be sad (or whatever emotion the tears comes from) but still he seems to accept them. That is not easy. At all. Espacially not in front of so many people. But he makes it feel alright to be sad. And to cry. And to show emotions. It´s just human. And I love him for it.
nature give us emotions, at 69 i`ll tell ya they mean more and differently as we age because we understand them and dont have to play tuff. its part of nature and being human.
EXACTLY, being yourself and showing your emotions in front of so many ppl so openly just shows how well he is connected to the mass consciousness which surrounds us all...the more ppl tap into that the better humans we all become as a result.❤
Beautiful song ❤
This song has been evoking chills or tears from me for over 30 years, it never just plays in the background without affecting me in some way. I can imagine the man who wrote it has a real world connection to the lyrics, rather than it being metaphorical. The Cure always touch me, without fail.
Pure heart, pure love. Robert Smith is one of the greatest artists of our time.
I was never particularly a Cure fan ,but that is beautiful to see a real worn person crying ugly tears in front of everyone. He is blessed to have that space where he is loved by a whole tribe
He really does have the love of his fans. I'm not a huge Cure fan, just a tertiary fan, but they have a very dedicated fan base, for sure.
The Cure isn't for everyone, but Robert Smith can write some of the most beautifully sweet, deeply powerful and soul-wrenching lyrics. His fans absolutely adore him (myself included).
I never took any notice of the Cure. I haven't ever even tried to explore their music, heard some on tv or radio but I wasn't moved to explore it further. I still don't get it but obviously he's liked and admired and has held his audience for many years so I respect him for that.
He’s so incredible. He speaks what’s in my heart, exactly what’s in all of our hearts. I just love him, what a fantastic artist, creator, and human.
I just sobbed watching this. I was at this show as well. This was the opening song when I saw them on the prayer tour in Atlanta when I was 14 (I'm 47 now). And it was their opening song when I saw them in Atlanta in 2016. They are forever my heart and spirit. The greatest band to ever grace the planet.
I was at the 2016 show too and have the whole concert on my TH-cam channel. Quality wasn’t great though but the sound is great.
I'm guessing you never saw Monster Magnet then
I was at the prayer concert in Atlanta when I was 14. I stood outside Turtle records waiting for them to open so I could get good seats. We had 3 row center. I didn’t tell my parents I was going into the city, I went with a kid from school that had a car. I payed for everything, he drove. I spent a total of $150. We got shirts, food and gas both ways. I’m 47 now, 2 adult children. They love all the music I grew up on, and some newer stuff. But will never be able to enjoy a show like this at todays cost. So sad how the young people are priced out of experiencing life like we did.
Among his many wonderful traits is Robert's concern for the fans. Alone among his contemporaries Robert stood up to the Ticketmaster monster and insisted prices stayed 0:08 affordable. Sorry you weren't able to enjoy this tour with your kids but maybe next time ...
This song always moves me to tears, incredible it has the same affect on Robert 😢
Beautiful guy and that voice so soothing and calm
This guy sings from the soul. The Cure is a phenomenal band and top 5 (at least) of ALL time!
I’d give anything to know what he’s thinking at moments like this. ❤ Thank you Robert for your gift.
He lost his brother recently and has had a few emotional moments on stage since. Not sure if the words in the song remind him of his brother or he is just still grieving….who knows.
I feel like he's not really thinking, he's just feeling in these moments.❤
He's grieving the past
The youth. The hay day. Time. Time is running out and he knows it.
His sweet smile is everything!
His face seems to show the beautiful heart within him. To see him wipe away his tears, broke me.
Honestly, The Cure’s music has evoked many tears, many emotions. I’m so grateful for Robert Smith, The Cure, for giving us all the amazingly beautiful music that they have. 🙏🏽❤️🩹
@@mistiquefire3462 That is what I also thought...But I think that he is happy for what he did in his life.
The Cure is like no other band. They're many great bands and musicians but this band and man are special. Some of their songs bring out so much emotion. It takes you on a trip and you remember times in your life. Their will only be 1 Robert Smith❤🙏👍👌👌👌
He is taking each and every person there in. Hes truly grateful for his fans.
We gotta cherish Robert Smith forever he's just a gift that still keeps on giving after all these years!
They are a band that transcends time and space. Absolutely brilliant.
We never will growing old. Thank you, Robert Smith
Amazing song, i loved!
The Cure span the generations. I worked with 20 somethings that loved The Cure. My teen daughter likes some of their music, too. ❤
This song and Pictures of You are so emotional and draw tears from me every single time.
Love you Robert you gave me such a beautiful song pictures of you thank you my favorite song in the whole world and always will be thank you for touching my heart and my soul
I have no idea, of course, but in Philly, he said he is sometimes overcome with sadness about the loss of his brother.
Hi...I lost my baby brother coming up on 5 years ago on July 23, and it feels like just yesterday...my God, idk how he doesn't choke on the words; his music is his emotion, his communication, and he gives it all to us Cure fans, tells us his stories, albeit in a lyrically cryptic way sometimes... but we are his fan family, you gave him your love in person, that's so great you could experience this, I'm afraid I would have cried along with him; for him, and for me. Thank you for sharing. ✨❤️✨
I’m turning 49 in a few weeks, just learned to play guitar started in Jan 21. I balled my eyes out trying to write my first song. I would love to see his process. How does he make through these deep tunes? Music is one of the only things that makes me cry these days. So glad I picked up that guitar. Allows me to zone out. Love the Cure a lot.
You can feel Robert Smith’s passion and overwhelmed emotions just by looking at this clip alone. I’m so happy The Cure are still around.
I have loved the Cure since the 80s..... Such soulful music that touches all of us.
lol
I lost my beautiful loving wife two months ago from vax shedding turbo cancer. She was only 34. suffered so much before dying. In our 18 years together, The Cure concert was the only few concerts we went that I cherished. This song meant so much now, even as I've listened back in the 80s. The pain and tears are unbearable as I see this world falling apart without you by my side. Miss you dear, will see you soon.
❤
@@harmony3915 Thank you for your kindness. appreciate it.
@nol374 Thank you so much. She came back as a sunbird as Ive asked her to before she passed. This world is a mysteriously beautiful and hopeful place amidst the darkness. Perhaps the soul is eternal just like Robert's happy sad songs.
I’m so sorry you lost your beautiful wife so young.
I lost my partner in late January, he drowned swimming in the ocean after work.
He was a musician & loved the Cure too & we always planned to see them if they came to Australia again.
I was lucky to have early entry tix in 2016 & was mere metres from Robert. It was the best show I’ve ever been to, 3 & a half hours!
I cry often & easily. Watching this I cried.
I’ve loved the Cure since my teens & Im 57. My favourite band always that speaks to my soul.
I hope I get to see them again.
@@MsRedbelly Thank you so much for your caring words. I am sorry to hear about your partner's passing too. We don't know the hour of our deaths but at least we found each other, she said. Some people go through life without finding their soulmate.
My concert was in singapore 2007, kind of far away seats. but it was the celebration of us vibing the same taste for music that makes it special.
I can understand exactly how you feel, the silence and being left alone so early in life. Im 51 and totally lost. Cant even play my electric guitar with the same joy. Constant anxiety attacks and tears.
If theres any consolation for all of us, this world is not gonna last any longer with what has happened globally these few years.
I tried not to talk about my tragedy here on youtube, but seeing robert crying and the lyrics of the song just made me had to connect with the world.
If I could ever meet you I give you the biggest hug your music will always touch my soul love you love you love you
Such a good heart , so much feeling Robert Smith, just feel the lyrics and your music. I am 60 years old and followed The Cure for so many years. Still in my heart forever
A World without The Cure would be Less of a World
Some bands just come and Go and are forgotten in time
But the Cure will Live on Forever .
Thank you Robert Smith for a lifetime of memories and nostalgia. My life has at times had a soundtrack for feelings that words could never express. Respect
God bless you Robert. You've always been an inspiration to me, AND STILL ARE.
Such a beautiful, beatiful man.
Not enough words to convey all the emotions during this performance. Robert is a treasure ❤️
Very sensual sound. One of the the most Romantic bands of an era.
How many times I cried with this song. I love him.
E pensar que bandas como essa um dia não existirão mais . Sua obra jamais esquecida .
Love this Thank You love👏Hope he sees this too. ✨💙💖✨
I think he is taking it all in knowing this will probably be their last tour in America. I have loved them since 6th grade. Never got to see them until this tour. Very grateful I got to see them. One of the best bands of all time.
Idk, at the end of the Tampa show, he said “we’ll come back and see you again” 😊
Yeah I don’t see him stopping.
@@jackiestewart9478 He said it at the end of every show but in Montreal he said something like "IF we do this again, we're definitely coming back here". I'm hopeful they'll do it again as long as they can still perform at this level but it might've been the last time.
@@CarlHH777i saw them in Montreal also and it was emotional. Hope he will come back here like he said ❤
@@marthyhu I saw them in Montreal too 😊
A lot of emotion in almost 50 years of music. The cure got me through many of mine and I'm 62 and still listening.
The Cure happened to be playing in Prague while I was visiting Prague, Vienna and Budapest from the USA. I was so glad I went to the concert. Robert put his heart and soul into that performance. I'm guessing this will be their last tour. It was outstanding. I had never bought a Cure album or had any of their songs in my play list but it was one of the best concerts I ever attended. I'm 70 so I have been to a few concerts in my life but none compared to the emotion put forth by Robert.
To see them in Prague would have been amazing. It's a beautiful city!
Nice work man
This is one of those songs that always fills me with bittersweet poignancy now as i'm getting older. The emotion in this song is so beautiful and timeless it's hard to not be affected by it. Robert is a tremendous artist that bares his soul. 💙
Grief comes and goes in tides. Perhaps it was an emotional day overall, maybe the day/date has significance. I don't know when exactly he lost his brother and parents but that with the overwhelming nature of a tour, sometimes things hit like a freight train at unexpected times. He seems really open and receptive more than ever on this tour and cannot help but hope he's okay. If I'm not mistaken this is the first tour out of the pandemic too..emotions are at an all time high and even he can't escape the catharsis of his own music. We can only send him love--hate to see him hurting--choked me up too. Thanks for sharing.
Beautifully said. Crying as I read this ❤
❤️
Roberts vocal delivery of his lyrics pulls on the listeners emotions.
No one can write a melancholy love song that sounds so beautiful as Robert can. His voice hasn't diminished with age.
If you've lost someone who this absolutely achingly beautiful song is about for you... you will cry too 💔🥺 But especially seeing him doing it. I've never seen him like this despite decades of following them. Thank you.
you’re right, i saw them in Portland and also felt like it was a really intense show. Same for all the other clips of this tour i’ve seen. I saw them 3 other times years ago and it was not like this tour.
I lost someone a few years ago and ever since I will cry so easily, but I never did before. It changes something in you when you realize how quickly someone can just disappear and how precious time is. I can barely listen to this song anymore without crying, its just such a beautiful song. Imo along with pictures of you, I'd say they're the most moving songs I have ever heard.
Look how bad he looks. Lifes been hard on him. Hes been through so much pain and suffering. This was a sweet sort of homage to his own work. Really Sweet Crowd.
This is my favorite Cure song. I’m in my early 40s and I’ve been listening to them since I was in elementary school. I have a 13 year old and when I clicked on this video she immediately said, “Is this the Cure? Is this Plainsong?” She also said she would love to go see them live. I pray she passes this on to her kids.
I think his tears are bittersweet. I love it. Memento Mori (Remember you will die). 🖤💀
Magical. Always so gifted.
his voice is still on top and he is a man with a heart and soul, it comes through in his music. The band is a fan favorite....
the cure changed my life.....thankyou.
We must Protect Robert at all
Costs ❤ he’s such a wholesome Icon
platitudes much?
Men and artists are human beings and of course they cry sometimes.
I love sensitive men who aren't afraid to show emotions.
Love you Robert 🖤
Love you Robert!❤
you are the best man i love you ser
Just, Beautiful ❤️. A true artist and singer. Now that is REAL 😍 I love you Robert Smith. I thank you for your music. I haved loved you scene I was 13 And now I'm 50❤
Such an adorable sweet man
He is so in the moment. Such a sweet beautiful soul 💖💖💖
I love The Cure, started listening to them in junior high in 1981, I remember in my art class I did a bust of Robert’s head with all the hair and makeup, was the coolest thing I ever made in school. ❤
There was something so hauntingly beautiful the way the light caught his eyes. Thank you for capturing that for us.
Such a badass emotional band and this man is a singing legend
I saw them in Philadelphia. God bless Robert Smith 🥹
Right on, we drove 10 hrs from NC to see them in Philly, what an amazing & magical might !!!
I hope his tears are from being thankful and gratitude towards us because it hurts me seeing him crying I love and respect this wonderful human being, and pray his in good health and all the members that has been in the cure of course
Beautiful. My heartbeat aches and loves simultaneously. Thank you for sharing ❤
Robert, man, your soul is shining.
