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
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 🙌🏽🫶🏽
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.
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
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!!!! :-)
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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...
"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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
''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'' The quiet agony in those lines. Sigh.

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
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.

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 ;)
This song is some sort of masterpiece of emotion
It truly is

How awesome! I wish that I have had something like that at a dismal time in my life. I did have pictures tho..
I have the memories..n they r all I have coz they mean the most to me
Toronto , right on I was there
I’m right there with you. 💯

sorry man for ur wife
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.
Simon's bass line drives the lumbering beauty of this song. So uplifting and melancholy at the same time
BEST live performance of ANY song ever imo. Its BETTER than the studio version!
"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.
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
one of the most underrated love songs by the most underrated bands in the last 35 years.... this is pure magic. #bgc
except the cure isnt underrated xD
the cure are legends mate bona fida
yep.
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!!!! :-)
How can one of the best band s ever be underrated?
The more I listen to it I realise it’s pure class.
There will never be a better song.
Truth ❤❤❤
This song never ages and never will, a timeless classic
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

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.

Wow...I’m sad picturing you looking out the window...
You must have so many memories you can attach this song to ROB! The more good memories the more pain of seeing them! Hope you are doing good!
That transition in the middle of the intro still gives me the shiver. The whole song is a rock poem. Fantastic. 🎶🎸🎼
Might be the best live version I've ever heard and I've seen them live countless times.

I know. I agree
One of the best bands EVER!!!
They truly deserve their spot in the R&R Hall of Fame.
Great, timeless genius in their music - especially this song!
Don't get to hear very many bands or artists sound this good live. So rare.
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.

The quiet agony in those lines. Sigh.
