The year 2024 is speaking here. It still is and always has been The Cure's hottest song. There are many other songs but this one is outstanding. I will never forget the 80s and the beginning of the 90s... it was an amazing time. Puberty, slowly growing up (if you did at all). The rebelliousness you felt inside. You just didn't know exactly what or who you were rebelling against at the beginning. When I close my eyes to this song, I'm back in those moments, which makes this song so amazingly real. It's so cool how this song brings back so many memories. Smoky discos, the smell of teen spirit (literally, not because of the Nirvana song). A bottle of beer in hand and everyone doing the same Cure-style dance. Along with the Sisters of Mercy, The Cure helped me through every depression, relationship drama, stress, heartbreak and all that other fucked up shit. And now, all these decades later, not much has changed. Ok, you've gotten older, the problems and worries are perhaps of a different nature, but they're somehow the same, just from a different perspective or in a different way. The Cure is literally the cure for such situations. Growing up sucks sometimes.
Oh Sisters of Mercy are a favourite!!! I went into a record shop in Bendigo Australia in 1991 and heard this amazing music over the shop speakers. It was Sisters of Mercy! I fell in love in that shop with their music. And they had to order it in for me from the UK. Still have it. Wish I hade seen The Cure when I had the chance 😢 I’m a bit older than you, AC/DC and Alice Cooper were my teen angst music. But in a good way. I was extremely rebellious and my mum was on Valium because of my behaviour but never crime or drugs. And I actually ended up working for the police here for 15 years. I turned out ok, in spite of my mother thinking I’d end up in prison. 🤣 This performance of this song is fricking amazing to this day!!!!
Cierto!! Está música. ACDC, the cure y muchos más en realidad eran una terapia sanatoria, una catarsis. Hoy en día aún las escucho para evadirme y disfrutar@@karenglenn6707
It's 2024 and this song has NOT aged. In fact, if you don't watch the videos and just listen to anything in The Cure's catalogue you cannot know when these songs were released. That is how good they are. In fact if you listen to the Cure now and listen to Robert Smith sing "A Forest" live, he sounds almost exactly same as he did 40+ years ago and possibly BETTER. Cheers from NYC!!
I remember listening to this song at 15 years old, now I'm 54.and I still listen to this song over again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.
I am about to make your day............alternatively, kill me.............l have an interview with old Bob.............he loves Sinatra..........he loves, "young at heart",..........when Cure do cold & he looks at the sky........weirdly as ever..........he thinks of another of Frank's songs...........cannot think which one...........,this is completely true......you may even suss it somewhere on you tube.

I am going to be 71. Cure fan since the beginning. Just seen them last year with twilight sad opening. Best band. Cool band. My band. Love to all of them forever ♥️♥️
I came across this on TH-cam. I always liked the Cure but dont know their music well. Im blown away by this song and performance! It's a song you get lost in with Robert Smith's vocals and the amazing musicianship! Love it!
Whos still obsessed and listening in 2024 because therr is a complete lack and emotion in so many singers that cant deliver a concept as purr as this !!!
So great,I see them. in 1987 in Berlin.I‘m 55 years old but when I hear this I feel like I‘m 21 again.....and again and again and again....So gorgeous🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍!!!!!!
Basse à 6 cordes. John Deacon de QUEEN était doué avec ses basses 4 cordes mais là, Simon Gallup déchire grave avec ses basses 6 cordes. Il est génial !
No, but close. They played a 20 minute long rendition at their Xmas '87 Kiss Me tour gig at Wembley Arena that I went to, half that was a guitar solo by Robert - absolutely magic. Almost 30 years ago now, sheesh!
I've seen them live 20 times, in 6 different cities. This is the best performance ever and that tour was the best I've seen too. The Cure forever and ever.
I gotta say this was one of the best live versions they ever did. Saw them in ‘’87 and ‘93 (twice). Plan on seeing them in ‘23 but this time I’m taking my 14 yo son. Gotta train the kid right! Cheers Cure fans!
Cure to this day. 1st show in DC. 84. Lived in London after. Twin daughters now 21. Their background is Cure based. Thanks for sharing. Another note, Cure helped and publicised a band from Seven Sisters that i saw live multiple times. Same genre. 84-87? Any knowledge or feedback appreciated.
Don't normally like long versions of songs, but this one is perfect. The longer it goes, the more it expands. It's awesome. The Forest is a great song to start with.
My favourite extended version of this song is the one they performed during the show I attended at the Gorge on the Wild Mood Swings tour. It was a little different from this one, where they jammed out the outro section of the song for what felt like several minutes. What I wouldn't give for someone out there to have a recording of that version to upload onto TH-cam or wherever! One of the best experiences of my life.
Berlin Trilogy version is infinitely better (and available on YT). Its not even a discussion. The singing on this version is attrocious, don't fool yourself.

Come closer and see See into the trees Find the girl While you can Come closer and see See into the dark Just follow your eyes Just follow your eyes I hear her voice Calling my name The sound is deep In the dark I hear her voice And start to run Into the trees Into the trees Into the trees Suddenly I stop But I know it's too late I'm lost in a forest All alone The girl was never there It's always the same I'm running towards nothing Again and again and again and again... She said "could you take me home tonight? It's the only way I know. " She said "could you take me home tonight? There's no other way I know. " She said "you know the way you used to do." "Of course I'll take you home." "You know the way you used to do." "Of course I'll take you home." This kiss could cost my life. Is all you see in her eyes. This kiss could cost my life. Is all you see in her eyes. It's all you see in her eyes. She said "Take my hand, take me home." She said "Take my hand, take me home. Take me home. Take me home.
Don't forget the others........forty years is pretty long..........l agree, completely.............'though watch page/Thompson live, on lullaby.........

@@johnperkins4611 That's the 1981 version at the Werchter festival. Robert Palmer was up next, and they told them to get off, so they kept playing (and the song ends with the infamous F Robert Palmer, F Rock and Roll from Simon). That is what started the extended versions of the song - but the've had other songs they would do this with. The unreleased song All Mine was an extended jam that changed every time they played it.
+yallow rosa he used to do also love will tears apart as a tribute in a forest,, i did it in a concert for a girl, friend of mine, in the party of her 18 birthday party,,,it was 1989...
+yallow rosa I recall Bernhard Sumner from Joy Division / New Order actually complaining in an interview he was fed up with having his work ripped off by Robert Smith. The Upstairs Room was pretty much a New Order rip off.
This is one of my favorite songs by The Cure. They are my favorite band in the world. I was born in 86, but i grew up listening to 80s and classic/heavy metal music. 80s music will always rule!
Hey good music comes from the soul thus making it timeless I'll listen to anything that has some soul in it. No need to restrict based upon time. Which is why mainstream music usually does not have ppl revisiting it in 34 years. Not always but c'mon I'm not about to meditate w/ ice ice baby.
Está canción The cure, es una obra de arte, la escuchaba de adolescente y ahora en 2024 sentís los mismos sentimientos, son geniales, un saludo de Mendoza Argentina.
I saw this live in Sacramento, May 7th 1992, The Forest was the last song they played in the last encore, it was phukin PHENOMINAL, will never forget it
+Joachim Peiper Neither will I (And I got my tinnitus started on the same tour on one of their venues in Sweden). Still remembering the length of that gig as so great (four hours something).
@@ekklesiast yes,exactly,almost every live version is better for me,but this one,subjective, is the best one in any kind of form.,fkin amazing.greetz :-)
@@danielbliss8014 they kinda did - the version on mixed up was a re-recording inspired by their live performances because the masters were lost. Also - I fucking saw this version live and it still sticks with me to this day. It was amazing.
The Cure Live in Concert album released 1984? ...It has the best version for it's pure serious gothic vocals and non of these girly swooning stuff. ..I stopped listening to the Cure way back in 1989..
This version of ‘A Forest’ is a gift to Cure fans, especially to the fans who were at this show. Wow oh WOW! An epic version of the song…. One downside to it is that the song doesn’t continue forever. If only I could turn back time and place myself at this show. 😌
Bar none, the best iteration of the Forest ever. Robert is a musical genius and a once in generation singer. Pure magic. The world is fortunate to have him.
Hay canciones que no tienen tiempo, ni edad, ni son una moda. Las podés escuchar hoy, mañana o cuando tengas 80 años como si fuera la primera vez...🤎🧡❤
This version is amazing. The Cure at the top of their game, playing one of their absolute best songs. And nice little touch of Joy Division toward the end! 🤘
my father in law worked with Ian Curtis at the DHSS in Macclesfield during the late 70s. he died recently and just happened to be cremated at the same place as Curtis. he said that it was such a shame that he was so unhappy, and that he was an articulate , helpful and very caring individual... a pleasure to work with.
A timeless charisma! To see « The Cure » is of course to see a group whose great years are far behind. However, it is also seeing a group which despite everything remains at the peak of its charisma. Robert Smith almost still sounds like he did 30 years ago. By sometimes adapting the melodic line he sings, but almost without failing and always being convincing. Seeing this group fabled is always grandiose and unexpected. Thank you Robert and at thy companions road for all these light years that shine like stars. *LM*

Come closer and see
See into the trees
Find the girl
While you can
Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes
I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees
Into the trees
Suddenly I stop
But I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again and again and again and again...
She said "could you take me home tonight?
It's the only way I know.
" She said "could you take me home tonight?
There's no other way I know.
" She said "you know the way you used to do."
"Of course I'll take you home."
"You know the way you used to do."
"Of course I'll take you home."
This kiss could cost my life.
Is all you see in her eyes.
This kiss could cost my life.
Is all you see in her eyes.
It's all you see in her eyes.
She said "Take my hand, take me home."
She said "Take my hand, take me home.
Take me home.
Take me home.

Thank you
The 90s were the last great decade for alternative/ Indie/ Goth, how I miss those days.
Classic Cure. I'm 52 and have loved this forever. Continue to listen again and again and again and again and again.........
And again and again and again and again 😁
Don't forget the others........forty years is pretty long..........l agree, completely.............'though watch page/Thompson live, on lullaby.........
If you love the cure, and you have access to London, try Camden market..........word of mouth.....,..underneath the bridge..........after lockdown.........to be absolutely honest..
..stay safe and well........
Watch for every little iota...........,amongst the expected...........few l think would've seen plant singing lullaby......he is astonishing.......,.but the weirdness lies with Robert Smith......as does the song.........take a look...........suss it............
And again..........but seriously dig out the music from albums and films...........a lot..........try treasure,,,,,,,,,,,,,bare...........whatever,............so much,..............
The best 13.46 minutes of my life. So sorry for the 1.014 ppl who got lost in a forest and disliked this. You, people, missed the greatest eargasm.
They couldnt see the wood for the trees
I wanna be lost in the forest forever! 2019
TAKE MEEE HOOOOOOME!
Woodentops
That's sad how ppl can dislike something so wonderful like this, but that's their life, we have this ! :D
I love it,when Robert is playing the legendary Riff of Joy Division at 11:14!!!
shes lost control!
Yes!!!
That’s the BEST! I love to think he loved Ian as much as I did. That was such a magical time and I love knowing Robert felt that too.
It also sounds like Hong Kong Garden by soixsie and the Banshees
Yes
This is the soundtrack of my life
Saw them last night in Toronto 2023! Still as good as ever!🎉❤
40 years & I’ve never seen them. What I would give❤
and again...and again...and again....and again....
35 times
you made a fool of me...
Again and again and again and again .
Again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again...and again
God hes beautiful
11:13 he plays "She's Lost Control" !! Damn Genious!
i'm not the only one
Hi thanos thanks it’s been driving me crazy of course it’s joy division
Love it, Robert Smith is quite a musician, it takes a lot to blend one song in with another in the way that he did.
@@nme87 True.
What a wonderful tribute !
Forever in my heart❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tout pareil ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
oh my word.. Never heard this extended version before. Freaking amazing!
Apparently they were told to stop. They said do one look at the band mates reaction
13 минут оргазма
@@johnperkins4611 That's the 1981 version at the Werchter festival. Robert Palmer was up next, and they told them to get off, so they kept playing (and the song ends with the infamous F Robert Palmer, F Rock and Roll from Simon). That is what started the extended versions of the song - but the've had other songs they would do this with. The unreleased song All Mine was an extended jam that changed every time they played it.
I was there (not this concert, but one a month later) - it was AMAZING.
What a bloody amazing version of an amazing song
Fantastic!
Its even better than the original
.
11:11 great tribute to Joy Division ("she lost control") ... thanks you Robert
.
+John Caulfield The guitar riff... is the main theme in "She lost control again".
+yallow rosa Never forgot JD !
+Isa X Never ...
+yallow rosa he used to do also love will tears apart as a tribute in a forest,, i did it in a concert for a girl, friend of mine, in the party of her 18 birthday party,,,it was 1989...

I recall Bernhard Sumner from Joy Division / New Order actually complaining in an interview he was fed up with having his work ripped off by Robert Smith.
The Upstairs Room was pretty much a New Order rip off.
The best ever live version A forest i ever seen. Definitely !
The PERFECT live version!!! BRUTAL!!!!
This is one of my favorite songs by The Cure. They are my favorite band in the world. I was born in 86, but i grew up listening to 80s and classic/heavy metal music. 80s music will always rule!
Hey good music comes from the soul thus making it timeless
I'll listen to anything that has some soul in it. No need to restrict based upon time.
Which is why mainstream music usually does not have ppl revisiting it in 34 years. Not always but c'mon I'm not about to meditate w/ ice ice baby.
The iconic bass line !!!
Está canción The cure, es una obra de arte, la escuchaba de adolescente y ahora en 2024 sentís los mismos sentimientos, son geniales, un saludo de Mendoza Argentina.
Chills down my spine ...
it's always the same... all alone...
I saw this live in Sacramento, May 7th 1992, The Forest was the last song they played in the last encore, it was phukin PHENOMINAL, will never forget it
I agree!!
+Joachim Peiper The song is called A Forest...not The Forest
Keith Redmond Yeah, I know
+Joachim Peiper Yup, saw the same show in Miami, and I agree, this was the most amazing part of the concert. Unforgettable.
+Joachim Peiper Neither will I (And I got my tinnitus started on the same tour on one of their venues in Sweden). Still remembering the length of that gig as so great (four hours something).
I'm crying for this piece of beauty.
First band I saw live. 1995 San Diego. Before the show I juggled a ball with Robert et al. Rad!
There's no band like The Cure. They are literally one of the best bands in the world.
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck this version is good
U don't say
It is difficult to describe how important this band was in the development of modern rock.
Vraiment d'accord !!!!!!!!
In life as well...

Not was, s.d.,.........is.........
@@mauriciomiranda346couldn't suss you,...............liñda will..,.......no connection .....,. . ..?
Музика божественна
Im nearly 50 years old and this is one of the songs that got me into music when I was younger....pure genius and a classic.
me too
i'm almost 40 and i was 15 back then.. same. still one of my fav songs ever.
No band will ever come close.
I am almost 20 and this song got me into music when I heard it for the first time when I was 5
Cool, when I get to be around your age - I'm sure to love them just as much !
I dare anyone to find a better version of this song
Agreed,best live performance i v ever heard
I don't even like The Cure yet love this..
@@uzeriks it's better than the studio version as well
@@ekklesiast yes,exactly,almost every live version is better for me,but this one,subjective, is the best one in any kind of form.,fkin amazing.greetz :-)
Basically any version from the 80s
This live version is better than any recorded version ive heard. Wow
It's like they reinvented it for the 1990s
I agree, Check out dire straights sultans of swing live version its also way better than the record th-cam.com/video/8Pa9x9fZBtY/w-d-xo.html
the live Pinkpop (2019) version is even better
@@danielbliss8014 they kinda did - the version on mixed up was a re-recording inspired by their live performances because the masters were lost.
Also - I fucking saw this version live and it still sticks with me to this day. It was amazing.
Agreed...I loved singing this song LIVe
Que buena banda me ase viajar ala adolecencia..año 1988..
One of Best groups of all time
What. A. Masterpiece.
I danced and danced to this song ... I'm now 53... still dancing
the best line up.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr.Simon Gallup on bass guitar !!!
Alain Rousseau ❤️❤️❤️

Best live version of this song to ever exist, period.
1986👌🌟
It's indescribly beautiful
th-cam.com/video/59sp6tPV2F4/w-d-xo.html this version from 1990 is closer to the original, but the guitar work is splendid 🤟🏼
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
The Cure Live in Concert album released 1984? ...It has the best version for it's pure serious gothic vocals and non of these girly swooning stuff. ..I stopped listening to the Cure way back in 1989..
This version of ‘A Forest’ is a gift to Cure fans, especially to the fans who were at this show.
Wow oh WOW!
An epic version of the song….
One downside to it is that the song doesn’t continue forever.
If only I could turn back time and place myself at this show. 😌
Bar none, the best iteration of the Forest ever.
Robert is a musical genius and a once in generation singer.
Pure magic. The world is fortunate to have him.
Fortunate indeed...
Hay canciones que no tienen tiempo, ni edad, ni son una moda. Las podés escuchar hoy, mañana o cuando tengas 80 años como si fuera la primera vez...🤎🧡❤
хорошо сказано
Saw them live recently… it was unbelievable good!!! Their music 30 years later and still sounds amazing!!!
At his age Smith has still a great voice and from his guitar comes out the same magic we could ear in the 80's.
I saw this tour back in 92. This has to be the BEST version of the song they’ve ever played live. It was amazing.
Lucky you! What a treat!
Yes i agree…. I saw this tour too….. it was amazing
I saw it too - it was amazing. My friend however had to go to the toilet, and he was like "Just FINISH ALREADY!" - lol.
There’s a great one in England some where . Check it out .
The wish tour, 1992 saw them in Williamsburg, Virginia
Non sono un fans dei cure ma questa canzone e favolosa grande robert smith
My favourite Cure song for driving down a dark road with a destination still to be determined.
extendo mix of the walk does it for me
Coddiwomple!
The Ardens
Someone has studied his kabbalah.
The same for me
Anyone else actually feel like there in a cold dark forest listening to this? ❤
Wish I were there right now
68 years and still loving it!!!
62 here and I feel the same as you do!!
The cure forever. Robert forever. I’ll love y’all forever.
This version is amazing. The Cure at the top of their game, playing one of their absolute best songs. And nice little touch of Joy Division toward the end! 🤘
i think this is their best line up honestly, Porl on guitars man
11.15-11.25 joy Division -She lost control
road house blues too
The best live version I have ever heard
@@markusanderson1517 Oh yes 😁
Wish I could jump through the screen... To be there and to be back in 1992.
This is mysteriously exotic. Truly a masterpiece.
There is no better version its perfect❤
best version of the best song of the best band...
Fer Perez I agree with you
Fer Perez 🙌🖤
The best live version ever 👏🏽
Joy Division tribute at 11:11. So heart warming.
She's lost control
so cool
No.
my father in law worked with Ian Curtis at the DHSS in Macclesfield during the late 70s.
he died recently and just happened to be cremated at the same place as Curtis.
he said that it was such a shame that he was so unhappy, and that he was an articulate , helpful and very caring individual... a pleasure to work with.
What a nice anecdote...I've always heard nice things about Ian...
A timeless charisma! To see « The Cure » is of course to see a group whose great years are far behind. However, it is also seeing a group which despite everything remains at the peak of its charisma. Robert Smith almost still sounds like he did 30 years ago. By sometimes adapting the melodic line he sings, but almost without failing and always being convincing. Seeing this group fabled is always grandiose and unexpected. Thank you Robert and at thy companions road for all these light years that shine like stars. *LM*
