Last May 17, 2013 I lost my husband and best friend. This song has played over and over. All I have is pictures of him left. We were married for almost 20 years and he suffered greatly in the end. The pictures are truly all I can feel now. This is a wonderful song. Thank you for it, Robert Smith.
Sorry for your lost Mary.........this song for me means a lot.......I have 3 children the youngest is my only daughter....she got married about a month ago...I took her to the altar ...and this song was playing in the background... GOD give us joys & sorrows & we take them humbly. GOD bless you
I'm so sorry for your loss ..i lost my son Justin Zinno in October 14th of 2019...he was only 26 years old.. I played this song at his wake... All I have is pictures of him... I hope you find some peace with your loss.. I never will. I hope and pray that I die soon so I can be with my son again
Ella esta viva en la eternidad de dios, ten paciencia, vive cada 24 horas y busca otras hijas que necesiten ayuda, estas hijas puede ser cualquiera que solo necesiten una sonrisa de ti
What a Masterpiece ! All I have left is pictures, after 60 years of life. I guess its a roll of the dice, to see how it all ends up. Thank you for this Incredible song Robert Smith.
My boyfriend turned me on to the Cure. I fell in love with them. He died suddenly last year and their music makes me feel connected to him somehow. Thanks for that.
"Pictures of you" is one of the best songs ever written in rock n roll history. You feel the importance of pictures in your life only when you have lost them forever.
Listened to this version a million times. Still chills and tears surface. Masterpiece, so beautifully haunting. Discovered when 16 years old and still playing 28 years later 😢❤ life soundtrack 🎭 after my divorce I went to see them play for 3 hours in Toronto. Pint in hand. It was the greatest gift I could have had during that time 🙌🏽🫶🏽
can`t completely agree with `ya.....they`ve always had a great , huge and loyal audience....going on `till this very day.... one of the first times I`ve seen them live was `86..Pinkpop Holland....there were already over 46.000 people waiting for them to close off the day...... only differance is that nowadays I stand with married couples , parents ,and divorced people....when way back when I stood with teenagers!!!! :-)
One of my faves. Hurts a little because my wife of 36 years passed on Thanksgiving day in 2008. She saved my life in so many ways. It's still hard to accept that stars that burn twice as bright may only burn half as long. But her beautiful light still shines in our two daughters, two sons, five granddaughters, and two grandsons. Merry Christmas and best wishes for health and happiness in the new year.
How are you doing joe? I hope you’re healing and taking care of yourself. I’m sure you still have your pictures. God bless you and your beautiful family.
"There was nothing in the world That I ever wanted more Than to feel you deep in my heart", now that is poetry for the ages. Such an expression of love.
I lost my best friend many husband 3yrs ago when I met him he had green hair when I see this video makes me think of him 40yrs married ty Jeanette NYC USA
This song reminds me of my brother which passed away and I found him dead and just as I was getting over it my wife was diagnosed with cancer and All I have left are the pictures of them that’s why this Song cut me so deep
Thank you very much for your reply because I. I truly love just been when I was 18 my neighbour used to listen to it and need to say what is that it sounds alright he told me and then I went and got the first album was wish and I love you I’m now 48 and 49 starting to lose it what music does magical of the things that I’ve been feeling for you really help me cope otherwise I was gonna do something that I know it would’ve hurt people and regret
Robert Smith is one, if not the greatest; singers, songwriters, guitarists... performers and producers of our time, hands down... going since 76?? second to one, going since 62, my op...
One of the best songs ever. The sound of Roberts voice is so amazing. This is the best live version of this song. I wish u all a happy life, dont be so sad
Yes, this is the best version of Pictures of You that they have presented, it's epic, it's cinematic, I think the string pads in the keyboards make the difference, very different form the synth pads of the studio version. My favorite Cure song ever.
I read some of the comments and see words like "masterpiece", "hauntingly beautiful", and "romantic." A song like this seems to resonate different emotions for so many listeners. I think that is what ultimately makes it magical.
That fan that's blowing on the drummers hair ads to the continuous momentum and endless life of this song. Those of you who feel a connection to a loved one when you hear this song have joined this never-ending flow with your loved one. Perhaps your loved one is that never-ending breeze that I've mistaken for a fan?
I lost my wife in 2020. We were high school sweethearts. We’ve been together for over 25 years. And every time I play this music, it reminds me of her. She loves taking pictures of us and our family. She even took photography class in high school and learned how to develop film. I miss her so much.
"If only I had said the right words....." "All ever really wanted....." But now I'[m 70 and this song still makes me cry. When I do, I look out the car window and pretend I'm looking at the scenery.
No matter how much time passes, something always brings me right back to this song and I'm instantly transported to a time where I had it on repeat. Timeless classic.
Listening in February 2021..... Just ran across this song from the Cure in 2020 at age 55 and loving it. Turned 56 and hoping I can love and live for many years to come. The pictures of my girls and grandkids on the walls is all I'm getting right now.
That was back when there was creativity also and feel. They sounded that good in concert because they were musicians then and not just studio artists that needed a ton of after editing. All great stuff. I miss the 80s so much.
I was just telling my daughters that today, that I thought back then that this music was so much different, but in retrospect it was the same as today. We all have a way of judging music...
Hey Bob I know what you mean. I never listened to the Cure much over the past 30 years and then I heard this song In the movie with Rachel McCadam and Channing Tatum. And was just amazed by how great it was. I’m 58 so as old dogs can always learn. Rock on!
@@winross62 I've always been wide open to all types of music,you just don't have enough time to take it all in,so glad I took the time to give these guys a good listen after all these years. Turns out I like their sad songs the best,this one,the last day of summer and to wish impossible things are now on my all time favorite list!
Me also... Remembering my son.. He and I would ride around listening to The Cure. This was a favorite. "Oi My Son" Jim Price.. 💔💚 Suicide/Mental Illness is REAL.
A sure sign that an artist or a band are on another level is when their live performances are better than their studio releases. Prince, like The Cure had this ability.
Same here, Marc. Genius poet Robert Smith knew this, I believe, when he wrote it. It's his gift to heartbroken people everywhere, who can't, nor want to, entirely forget those that broke our hearts.
"Pictures Of You" I've been looking so long at these pictures of you That I almost believe that they're real I've been living so long with my pictures of you That I almost believe that the pictures are All I can feel Remembering You standing quiet in the rain As I ran to your heart to be near And we kissed as the sky fell in Holding you close How I always held close in your fear Remembering You running soft through the night You were bigger and brighter and whiter than snow And screamed at the make-believe Screamed at the sky And you finally found all your courage To let it all go Remembering You fallen into my arms Crying for the death of your heart You were stone white So delicate Lost in the cold You were always so lost in the dark Remembering You how you used to be Slow drowned You were angels So much more than everything Hold for the last time then slip away quietly Open my eyes But I never see anything If only I'd thought of the right words I could have held on to your heart If only I'd thought of the right words I wouldn't be breaking apart All my pictures of you Looking so long at these pictures of you But I never hold on to your heart Looking so long for the words to be true But always just breaking apart My pictures of you There was nothing in the world That I ever wanted more Than to feel you deep in my heart There was nothing in the world That I ever wanted more Than to never feel the breaking apart All my pictures of you
This is such a double-edged song- beautiful music, lyrics/performance, and yet sad at the same time in light of the content and how it can translate for people around the world.
One of the best Songs from The Cure..its amazing and this Song goes deep in the heart. So beautiful and magic.thanks Robert for this wonderful Version and for this Song
Bin 56 Jahre alt..........und habe The Cure in den frühen 80zigern für mich entdeckt......still Loving it.....was waren das für geniale Zeiten.......war dann in den 90zigern im Kosovo und wenn ich die Schnauze so richtig voll hatte von Krieg und Elend dann habe ich mich mit meinem Walkmann und The Cure in irgendein Loch verkrochen.........2 Stunden Frieden..........heute lässt der Krieg mich nicht mehr zur Ruhe kommen.....dann höre ich die alten Lieder und liege hinter den Sofa....
I've just had photos of my first girlfriend... listening to this and looking at them is almost too much to bear...she died of breast cancer...I was so lucky to have fell in love with you Janet...I shall never forget you r.i p😥🥵❤️💔
I agree! This song is very meaningful that most everyone could relate to. His voice, lyrics, acoustics and the music should of won the won the band an award and into the hall of fame.
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you That I almost believe that they're real I've been living so long with my pictures of you That I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel Remembering you standing quiet in the rain As I ran to your heart to be near And we kissed as the sky fell in, holding you close How I always held close in your fear Remembering you running soft through the night You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow You screamed at the make-believe, screamed at the sky And you finally found all your courage to let it all go Remembering you, fallen into my arms Crying for the death of your heart You were stone white, so delicate Lost in the cold You were always so lost in the dark Remembering you how you used to be Slow drowned, you were angels So much more than everything Hold for the last time then slip away quietly Open my eyes, but I never see anything If only I'd thought of the right words I could have held on to your heart If only I'd thought of the right words I wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you Looking so long at these pictures of you But I never hold on to your heart Looking so long for the words to be true But always just breaking apart My pictures of you There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more Than to feel you deep in my heart There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more Than to never feel the breaking apart My pictures of you
My college sweetheart and I used to play and sing The Cure's songs on guitar together. I remember when we saw The Cure at Madison and it was the peak of our love. We were on fire. We were like twins in all things and absolutely were in love with each other. Never did I dream how significant this song would become after we broke up years later and how we met our significant others later in life. I have no regrets. And I don't think he does either. Every so often when I hear this song and many other Cure's songs, I can't help but smile and remember our time together, and wonder if he still does too. Much love to anyone who reads this.
Holy fkcing shit. I was there ... Well, at this tour. More than once, actually. I kinda forgot how UNBELIEVABLE this song was. This was The Cure's apex, this tour, this lineup. Totally freaking mind-blowingly amazing. Full stop. Long Live The Cure.

God have mercy. Wish you the best
Sorry for your lost Mary.........this song for me means a lot.......I have 3 children the youngest is my only daughter....she got married about a month ago...I took her to the altar ...and this song was playing in the background... GOD give us joys & sorrows & we take them humbly.
GOD bless you
I'm so sorry for your loss
..i lost my son Justin Zinno in October 14th of 2019...he was only 26 years old.. I played this song at his wake... All I have is pictures of him... I hope you find some peace with your loss.. I never will. I hope and pray that I die soon so I can be with my son again
This song never ages and never will, a timeless classic
I dedicate this song to my most beautiful daughter who passed almost 11 years ago at age 23. All I have is wonderful memories and pictures of you.
Ella esta viva en la eternidad de dios, ten paciencia, vive cada 24 horas y busca otras hijas que necesiten ayuda, estas hijas puede ser cualquiera que solo necesiten una sonrisa de ti
Ella esta viva en la eternidad de dios,
God bless you
I played this song at my son's funeral, he was 23 years old, he committed suicide 2003, so I know your loss, February 19, 2003
God bless you
What a Masterpiece ! All I have left is pictures, after 60 years of life. I guess its a roll of the dice, to see how it all ends up. Thank you for this Incredible song Robert Smith.

"Pictures of you" is one of the best songs ever written in rock n roll history. You feel the importance of pictures in your life only when you have lost them forever.
FORTY ONE YEARS OF PICTURES BURNED
Only song I can think of off the top of my head that's better is November Rain.
Masterpiece
but by far not the only great song of The Cure. Can't wait to see & hear them back live in fall.....
joo pie I think I missed them
Best version so far. Anyone agrees?
+Marvin Muditajaya Absolutely! Better than the studio recording, it's magical.
+Marvin Muditajaya . . .Yes . . . g...damn it's good TY syrex33
Total "like bait".... (and you totally caught me ;-)
Best version is the Entreat Version.
@Giuloi Ricci...I just had to listen to the first few seconds again from the Entreat-version to know that I disagree ;)
The sound, the harmonies and the voice...A masterpiece.
Indeed, the most beautiful voice. The cure has a surreal live performance. I love it!

I well up every time I listen to that first 2 minutes. Just amazing .

I'm so sorry for your loss.
How are you doing joe? I hope you’re healing and taking care of yourself. I’m sure you still have your pictures. God bless you and your beautiful family.
So sorry!
Simon's bass line drives the lumbering beauty of this song. So uplifting and melancholy at the same time
This song is some sort of masterpiece of emotion
It truly is
"There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart", now that is poetry for the ages. Such an expression of love.
"If only I'd thought of the right words,
I could have held on to your heart."
Such an expression of loss.
Robert Smith is such a emotive storyteller with his wistful lyrics.
"Can there be more in this world than the joy of just watching you sleep?"
Tightrope, by The Stone Roses
🥰
Robert wiping away the tears at the end. Unbelievably beautiful.
I lost my best friend many husband 3yrs ago when I met him he had green hair when I see this video makes me think of him 40yrs married ty Jeanette NYC USA
BEST live performance of ANY song ever imo. Its BETTER than the studio version!
The Cure is the opposite of a studio band. A lot of times their live performances sound better than the recordings.
One of the greatest songs ever written and played truly an epic masterpiece
I think it’s the greatest song of all time.
My honest opinion.
I absolutely agree it’s just magical
This song reminds me of my brother which passed away and I found him dead and just as I was getting over it my wife was diagnosed with cancer and All I have left are the pictures of them that’s why this Song cut me so deep

My favorite song of all. #1
The more I listen to it I realise it’s pure class.
There will never be a better song.
Truth ❤❤❤
This song almost doesn't need vocals. The music is so lyrical. It's beautiful.
This song breaks my heart every time I choose to listen, to play it... But sometimes I just can't resist.
I feel your sentiment ... I would rather feel my heart break again than never feel it beat again!

There is also something magical about Simon on bass, he is brilliant!
A sure sign that an artist or a band are on another level is when their live performances are better than their studio releases. Prince, like The Cure had this ability.
That transition in the middle of the intro still gives me the shiver. The whole song is a rock poem. Fantastic. 🎶🎸🎼

this live version is perfect.
**There's nothing in this world that I ever wanted more than feel you deep in my heart**

I know. I agree
"Pictures Of You"
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel
Remembering
You standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering
You running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and whiter than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go
Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering
You how you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But I never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you
Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you
Up
Up and up
Still a heart breaker,RIP Ray,Gore ,NZ.

The Cure in their prime can beat any band in terms of live performance and song arrangement.
saw them in 1988 and it was surreal. The whole audience was dancing in the aisles

That’s a bold statement 😬 i adore the cure and they’re one of the best imo but man oh man Depeche Mode are also fuckin A live !!
I agree completely!!

The vocals are perfect after all these years! One of my favorite bands, incredibly talented, esoteric and unique beyond comparison!
This song will always have a place in my heart ❤ l'm 63 years old now time goes on but along with our spirit the two hand in hand!!! 😃

This is such a double-edged song- beautiful music, lyrics/performance, and yet sad at the same time in light of the content and how it can translate for people around the world.
Amazing. At 59 I've just discovered this classic song. Thank you Robert.

It breaks my heart when I no longer have your picture on my Wall!

No drug,no alcool.just this song...
sometimes a song is like a precious jewel. This is such a jewel!
Bin 56 Jahre alt..........und habe The Cure in den frühen 80zigern für mich entdeckt......still Loving it.....was waren das für geniale Zeiten.......war dann in den 90zigern im Kosovo und wenn ich die Schnauze so richtig voll hatte von Krieg und Elend dann habe ich mich mit meinem Walkmann und The Cure in irgendein Loch verkrochen.........2 Stunden Frieden..........heute lässt der Krieg mich nicht mehr zur Ruhe kommen.....dann höre ich die alten Lieder und liege hinter den Sofa....
I was watching the battle for Ukraine. Had to listen to this song jus to calm down. Thanks, I got the Cure!
This is phenomenal.
One the top 5 best live version of song every played. Beautiful sadness and regret.
When nothing was all we had in the Infinitum, the cure was already there... one of the greatest bands ever! Thanks god for let be part of the 80s

I've just had photos of my first girlfriend... listening to this and looking at them is almost too much to bear...she died of breast cancer...I was so lucky to have fell in love with you Janet...I shall never forget you r.i p😥🥵❤️💔
Just a beautiful song. As far as I am concerned, this one song promotes them to the Rock n Roll hall of fame.
I agree! This song is very meaningful that most everyone could relate to. His voice, lyrics, acoustics and the music should of won the won the band an award and into the hall of fame.
I was thinking the exact same thing right before I came across your remark!! You are absolutely right!!!
Oh my god it's so magical
You said it.

Totally beautiful! Fucking hell fire! Blown away everytime i hear it.
BEST CURE SONG EVER!!!
This song makes me feel so happy and yet makes me cry my heart out
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel
Remembering you standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in, holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering you running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
You screamed at the make-believe, screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage to let it all go
Remembering you, fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white, so delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you how you used to be
Slow drowned, you were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes, but I never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you
Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
My pictures of you
My college sweetheart and I used to play and sing The Cure's songs on guitar together. I remember when we saw The Cure at Madison and it was the peak of our love. We were on fire. We were like twins in all things and absolutely were in love with each other. Never did I dream how significant this song would become after we broke up years later and how we met our significant others later in life. I have no regrets. And I don't think he does either. Every so often when I hear this song and many other Cure's songs, I can't help but smile and remember our time together, and wonder if he still does too. Much love to anyone who reads this.
GOD BLESS YOU
I can't listen to this song without crying... but I can't not listen to this song! Is that a possible sign of a masterpiece.
Robert’s singing voice sounds so badass live
Here we go again...this song is unbearably beautiful....best version ever ...there are no words to describe so manny feelings
Best version of this classic I’ve ever heard, the mix is fantastic for the time frame, you just can’t beat live performances.
The bass, é fenomenal...
Portugal admires the CURE
one of the best songs ever
This song has class and is well written therefore it remains one of my all time favorites.
Makes me cry. I love this Song. Some kind of magic . Masterpiece.
Pictures from old times and 100 years from now! Never forgotten

Holy fkcing shit. I was there ... Well, at this tour. More than once, actually. I kinda forgot how UNBELIEVABLE this song was. This was The Cure's apex, this tour, this lineup. Totally freaking mind-blowingly amazing. Full stop. Long Live The Cure.
