Disintegration covers a much larger range of different feelings and emotions, so I would call it the best one But for a state where you're in the process of listening Pornography there are no competitors here
@@_lliu3oqppehu9l_83 yeah I totally understand that feeling, I even have disintegration on vinyl and not pornography... But what a band, a masterpiece. 🖤
That song gets me every time amazing live version . It's incredible how Robert can articulate these dark emotions through words . Thanks The Cure because of you I dont feel alone ! ....
This album and especially this song got me through my absolute worst time. I still remember, like it all happened yesterday. Even if it's a little difficult to listen to that song now, it still stays deep in my heart.
That song allonge with 3 others in the pornography album had a huge influence on me when i was young. This was the ultimate expression of what is called "goth" today but in those days, it had no Label. It was just super intense. And i loved it. Maybe too much.
Me too brother…I was in real bad shape….up for days at a time…refusing to leave the house…. Blackin* out the windows….chicks would come and go….and I just wanted to be alone…..with this album……..I needed to shake the disease…..and they were THE CURE
Sharp and open, Leave me alone And sleeping less every night.... As the days become heavier and weighted, waiting, In the cold light. A noise, A scream, tears my clothes as the figurines tighten With spiders inside them And dust on the lips of a vision of hell I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year A hundred other words blind me with your purity Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance I think about tomorrow Please let me sleep As I slip down the window Freshly squashed fly You mean nothing You mean nothing I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls All the time Lose me in the dark Please do it right Run into the night I will lose myself tomorrow Crimson pain My heart explodes My memory in a fire And someone will listen At least for a short while I can never say no to anyone but you Too many secrets Too many lies Writhing with hatred Too many secrets Please make it good tonight But the same image haunts me In sequence In despair of time I will never be clean again I touched her eyes Pressed my stained face I will never be clean again Touch her eyes Press my stained face I will never be clean again I will never be clean again I will never be clean again I will never be clean again
I know these lyrics by heart, always sing it when I take a shower, it will always be one of my favourite songs I ever heard, such a beautiful song-creation
I agree.......luvem.,........in a jazzier/bluesier/rock mode rhythm brilliance lay with Peter baker, jack Bruce, John Baldwin........."who, he?",........John Paul Jones, bassist with the only true rock band........Zep'.......
Наверное любимая песня Cure! Здесь глубина и меланхоличность группы достигает своего пика. Особенно когда начинается незатейливый, но мелодичный проигрыш. Вообще альбом "Порнография", самое любимое из того что делали в 80-ые в целом!!!
Intense, suspenseful, cathartic. Depressing? No. The album is not depressing. If I could sum up the feel of the album, it is righteous indignation. Unlike the depressing dirges which Nirvana produced (in some ways similar to early Cure) this album leaves me feeling good about myself in a strange way. It's healing, like it channels the angst out of you. There's this sense of rising above the negativity to conquest, fighting the sickness, finding the cure.
This is so well put! I had no words to describe how I felt. I feel that way with every song by The Cure anyway.... "leaves me feeling good about myself in a strange way..."
Believe it or not my first time hearing this, and I totally love it - must get this album, i am slowly building up my Cure collection, it is a masterpiece, and very poignant like so many of their songs, I LOVE it!
Breathingspace I live on a business compound that has a detached structure with a studio with artists signed to Atlantic records. Do you have any idea how much mixing,mastering and engineering goes into a recording? This is live, real and emotional. I don’t judge an artist based on his studio version as much as their live performance
@@Zatain911 Sure, you can appreciate the technical effort. But the recorded version of this song, to my ears, showed that they were in deep. They really captured the sound of suicide. I can tell, because I'm close to it. The live version here was also beautiful to me, but more in a romantic way, not in the bleak way of the album.
Fucking Perry nailed this shit! Hope he comes back... or play one more with them... i like him better than the current one. His guitar volume so low on live shows lol
Very deep this song, the power of the drums, the bass making the difference, the letter and the dark environment make special this theme. Very sad but I like it too much.
I love this version. No flash-bombs, no fireworks. It's pared down to the nub. It was a difficult album by all accounts but I love how they have kept the mood. Recording Pornography was allegedly full of tension and darkness and it comes out perfectly in this. My Cure.
Very good live version of one of my fave songs from The Cure. THANKS for posting it. I listen to the cure since I was 11 or 12 years old and ther studio album "Wish" was one of my first CDs!! And I`m proud to say I saw the live 2 or 3 times.... For me they are one of the best goth bands and even one of the best rock bands ever......
Je vais aller au concert de Montpellier le 08 novembre et je n’ai qu’un regret c’est que ce morceau qui est et restera toujours le plus émotionnellement fort des Cure ne sera pas joué. J’avais lu que Robert avait du mal à le jouer car un peu trop d’émotion pour lui, ça se comprend il est bouleversant ce qui le rend tellement sublime 🖤
Largactyl Kid Can you be a little elastic and ironic? It was just a figure of speech, a joke.....you're heavy as a lead ball...... and still the bass sound of Mr. Gallup is very similar to a model FIAT Doblò but only when the engine is started, not when the car walks.
Actually, it's quite a clean-ish & "civilised" sound and probably a case of having new strings. Listen to the original Pornography if you want to hear the sound you're describing... Its a really beautiful version, very sympathetic to the original album version. If you only heard this, you'd think it was a live recording from the 80s on a B-side.......
I read that Robert and the others were taking all sorts of drugs while recording the pornography album..Robert says it was one of the lowest points in his life and he was feeling really depressed. it shows in just this song alone......
I am forever in love with this particular version. Although, I do believe that nothing can compare to Lol Tolhurst's raw drumming on the Pornography album.
When this song, this record came out, most of the world destroyed it. It was rubbish. We proved them to be wrong. Always remains my all time favorit. Pornography competely blew me away and still does.
Have a love - hate relationship with this song....love the brilliance of it but hate the dark place of my life that it brings me right back to all these decades later
Thank you for sharing. I have this on DVD but now I can listen to it in the car . I think this Berlin performance was incredible. I just saw The Cure in Vancouver in June and they played 3 hours and it was a great show. I think they are one of the best bands and I'm greatful I've seem them live.
I wish Simon would go back to using a deeper sound for his bass. The overdrive is turned up too high or something. He uses this sound all the time nowadays; I heard it live and it's too guitar-like and trebly. The 1992 "Paris" version is so much better. I do love that The Cure even recorded this on "Trilogy", though. They should play this incredible song more often.
Best album of the cure, in my opinion.
En mi opinón también 😏
I agree

masterpiece!!!!
Andrea Piccini You’re honestly right. No one can fucking write a song as well as Robert Smith.
Not of this world. Incredible. Brilliant. Devastating. Glorious. Madness. Sacred.

Blackin* out the windows….chicks would come and go….and I just wanted to be alone…..with this album……..I needed to shake the disease…..and they were THE CURE
I'm pretty new to the cure. This album is what drew me in. Haven't given the others too much of a chance but they don't compare from what I can tell.
I fell in love to disintegration. Hard to hear that masterpiece. It took years. The pain cuts deep.
@@mattfromaz Faith and 17 seconds are amazing as well
The darkness never felt so good or complete!
Sharp and open, Leave
me alone
And sleeping less every night....
As the days become
heavier and weighted, waiting, In the cold light.
A noise, A
scream, tears my clothes as the figurines tighten
With spiders
inside them And dust on the lips of a vision of hell
I laughed in
the mirror for the first time in a year
A hundred other words
blind me with your purity
Like an old painted doll in the throes
of dance
I think about tomorrow
Please let me sleep
As I
slip down the window
Freshly squashed fly
You mean nothing
You
mean nothing
I can lose myself in Chinese art and American
girls
All the time
Lose me in the dark
Please do it
right
Run into the night
I will lose myself tomorrow
Crimson
pain
My heart explodes
My memory in a fire
And someone will
listen
At least for a short while
I can never say no to
anyone but you
Too many secrets
Too many lies
Writhing
with hatred
Too many secrets
Please make it good tonight
But
the same image haunts me
In sequence
In despair of time
I
will never be clean again
I touched her eyes
Pressed my stained
face
I will never be clean again
Touch her eyes
Press my
stained face
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean
again
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
Craig Brown do you understand the lyrics..i still dont understand and i am listening almost 100 years now

MrBisabololo Ohhh...How deep & enigmatic......
Largactyl Kid Deep & enigmatic was Robert Smith when he wrote those lines.
I can't never say no to anyone but you!... (so powerful)
Mine is…” I can never say no, I can never so no…to any one but you”….for whatever reason….that part is muh JAM!
perhaps the darkest song ever composed in modern music, its like a sanctuary of obscurity
This song is totally without hope, strike the soul like the last words and the final bass line. Pure nichilism. 🖤
That's poetry right there !
They should win the Nobel Prize with this ! My god, this is so fucking good !

"You mean nothing."
totally loyal to the studio version. great performance !
this is way better then studio version
@@Zatain911 The studio version is way better and more depressing. But I do appreciate artists who reinterpret their songs continuously.

Masterpiece. The Cure forever
amazing live version.
thank you!
Bass' s sound of Gallup is like a diesel car.
MrBisabololo Perhaps you could explain which engine?Not all diesel engines sound the same so your comparison is useless
Largactyl Kid Can you be a little elastic and ironic? It was just a figure of speech, a joke.....you're heavy as a lead ball...... and still the bass sound of Mr. Gallup is very similar to a model FIAT Doblò but only when the engine is started, not when the car walks.

How did we devolve from this absolutely masterpiece to...uhh...Gucci Gang??
Best British band ever...in fact THE best band in the world ever and always will be...forever.
Yes
Best version ever! Better that studio. Guitar, drums & voice sound perfect. As is the matter for a lot of the songs on Trilogy.
a good version but far from the best. The best versions have Boris Williams on drums...
My favorite Cure track!
Cela dépasse la perfection, plus le temps passe et on voit que cette chanson est faite pour l'éternité
Oui!
The Cure at their best. Amazing track.
La basse de Simon Gallup, un pur régal
Carrément ! Simon est mon idole
5:25 and on I got chills its so powerful...
Freshly squashed fly!
Bloody love this song & this version is beautiful!!!
Masterpiece, love it so much. Not sure if it helped me or got me even more depressed back in the day, but I felt understood and less alone...
I read that Robert and the others were taking all sorts of drugs while recording the pornography album..Robert says it was one of the lowest points in his life and he was feeling really depressed.
it shows in just this song alone......
Every cure album had ended with the band wanting to kill themselves the unhappy ones at least
The one that keeps me alive and kicking, keeps me going forever, trying to beat that vicious circle..
straight into my heart ...
Wow, this is a really good quality upload, Thanks! :)
Robert Smith sings very beatiful, his voice is so claer and strong, bravo👏👏👏👌👌👌👍👍👍.Very ,very good song👏👏👏👏
I like it very very much👍👍👍👍👍
When you compare this version with the 1993 at le zenith, in france, you understand why Boris Williams was the best drummer of al the cure history.
I am forever in love with this particular version. Although, I do believe that nothing can compare to Lol Tolhurst's raw drumming on the Pornography album.
Самая готичная музыка, написанная людьми, которые не считают себя готами
Brilliant version, thanks for sharing
A jamais culte et sublime, peut-être la plus émotionnellement forte des Cure...
Des mots justes... Respect... 👍
Stop dead y new day completarían con mr pink eyes mi album perfecto eterna pornografiaaaaaasaaa❤
This song is so bloody hot
By 2002 the base cure members had achieved a musical perfection in playing. The years of trilogy.
Best version of this song, hands down
When this song, this record came out, most of the world destroyed it. It was rubbish. We proved them to be wrong. Always remains my all time favorit. Pornography competely blew me away and still does.
Who says the musicianship is weak that can go to hell
Yep.........by far.........'though each is so different........,,to me, no duff ones,...........

all I need is Roberts voice and guitar and Simons Bass.
Beautiful agressive bass line underpinning this otherwise dragging, beautifully passive dirge.."I will never be clean again.." Tnx Robert❤❤
Yes.
