  • Watch “Pictures of You” from The Cure’s landmark livestreamed performance of Disintegration at Sydney Opera House on 30 May 2019.
    “Our five shows at the Sydney Opera House in May 2019 - celebrating the 30th anniversary of the 1989 album Disintegration - are among the most memorable we have ever played - indeed, our entire Sydney trip was like a wonderful dream... I am so happy the final night of the run was captured in such expressive style by our longtime friend and director Nick Wickham - the release of the whole concert can’t be too far away… ”
    - Robert Smith
    Directed by Nick Wickham
    Post-production by The Joint

      (or even the curation 25 festival with the trees was a also a great set.)
      I still come back to both of those because they were so well done and capture such a nice energy. They're complimentary, really.

      I served in the Australian Army for a short part of my life. One day we had an American pilot on transfer training from the U.S flying the chopper into a jungle training area in North Queensland. This song was blasting on the sound system. We had never really heard of "The Cure" When I hear this song now I can close my eyes and be transported back to another time when my mates and I were so much younger. I have loved this band ever since that day.

      A gift for that moment...Robert's Manager wrote back to me recently when i sent it to Robert...i think they got it!
      "" WHEN HE SMILES, WE KNOW HE'S ROBERT SMITH ""
      CHORUS.
      ROBERT'S TRAVELLED MILES AND MILES,
      AS HE'S SMILED.. FOR MILES AND MILES,
      AND WHEN HE SMILES, WE SEE HE'S NO MYTH,
      THEN WE KNOW, WE HAVE SEEN ROBERT SMITH,
      WE KNOW WE'VE SEEN ROBERT SMITH, SO PURE,
      AND WE KNOW WE'VE FOUND "THE CURE",
      YES..WE KNOW WE'VE FOUND "THE CURE".
      Verse 1.
      His voice is so familiar, as,
      Their songs, they bounce along,
      PRE-CHORUS.
      AND WHEN ROBERT SINGS,
      "PICTURES OF YOU",
      HE MAKES US REALISE,
      WITH THOUGHTS HE CAN'T DISGUISE,
      RADIATING FROM HIS EYES,
      SOME DAYS ARE FILLED WITH BLUE.
      CHORUS.
      ROBERT'S TRAVELLED MILES AND MILES,
      AS HE'S SMILED.. FOR MILES AND MILES,
      AND WHEN HE SMILES, WE SEE HE'S NO MYTH,
      THEN WE KNOW, WE HAVE SEEN ROBERT SMITH,
      WE KNOW WE'VE SEEN ROBERT SMITH, SO PURE,
      AND WE KNOW WE'VE FOUND "THE CURE",
      YES..WE KNOW WE'VE FOUND "THE CURE".
      Verse 2
      That hair, still long upon his head,
      His tunes, they're still so cute,
      PRE-CHORUS.
      AND WHEN ROBERT SINGS,
      "PICTURES OF YOU",
      HE MAKES US REALISE,
      WITH THOUGHTS HE CAN'T DISGUISE,
      RADIATING FROM HIS EYES,
      SOME DAYS ARE FILLED WITH BLUE.
      CHORUS.

      WE KNOW WE'VE SEEN ROBERT SMITH, SO PURE,
      AND WE KNOW WE'VE FOUND "THE CURE",
      YES..WE KNOW WE'VE FOUND "THE CURE".
      BRIDGE to final PRE-CHORUS and CHORUS(x2).
      AND I'M SURE WE'VE FOUND "THE CURE",
      A LONG TIME AGO, AGO,
      AND THANK THE HEAVENS, THEY EXIST,
      AS THEY'RE SO HARD TO RESIST,
      AS THEY TAKE TO THE STAGE AGAIN.
      PRE-CHORUS.
      AND WHEN ROBERT SINGS,
      "PICTURES OF YOU",
      HE MAKES US REALISE,
      WITH THOUGHTS HE CAN'T DISGUISE,
      RADIATING FROM HIS EYES,
      SOME DAYS ARE FILLED WITH BLUE.

Having said that, the 80's was indeed a magical decade and the album 'Disintegration' from The Cure capped off the 80's in the most stellar and appropriate way.

      I have to disagree with you on that. I love The Cure and saw them live in the early 90's at William and Mary. All they did was just stand there and barely moved. You could not understand a thing Robert said in between songs. It was one of the worst concerts I have ever been to. I still love them but will never pay to go see them.

      @@StephenBard Then you clearly never listened to them live. Bands don't have to bounce around on stage to be interesting. And after you listen to them talk a lot, you understand what they are saying most of the time. It took me a while to be able to decipher most of what Robert says, but sometimes it is also just hard to hear people when they talk live. It is a shame that you have chosen such petty reasons to miss out on one of the best live bands out there. Especially in their prime. They are not nearly as good now as they were in the early to late 90s. But you go ahead and keep on having your weird arbitrary reasons to judge people, and keep seeing bands that are actively checking their fitbits during shows, and I'll watch people who focus on playing well and sounding good. And who actually write and play music I like. And clearly you didn't watch Simon as he doesn't usually stand still that much.

    Absolutely enchanted by 'Pictures of You' from The Cure's iconic 1989 album 'Disintegration.' This track is a beautiful example of how simplicity in music can create profound emotional depth. It's built around a core set of four chords - A, E, D, G - that weave a repetitive, mesmerizing pattern throughout the song. What truly sets it apart, though, is not just the chords themselves, but the way The Cure layers these simple progressions with rich textures and atmospheric effects. The guitar work, bass lines, and percussion all intertwine to create a soundscape that's both haunting and deeply moving. It's a testament to the band's genius in crafting a sound that's complex in emotion yet straightforward in structure. This song isn't just about the chords; it's about how they're played and the mood they create. It's a perfect example of The Cure's ability to convey powerful feelings through seemingly simple musical choices.

My body is quivering from this music. I probably shouldn’t say : that this is a song, sung by the greatest singer ever...that could prompt a sane person to leave their life and walk the earth to find another way or thing or person or purpose or ‘something’ that could compare to how this song makes me feel (and I don’t even Know how it makes me feel.

It never ages and the chords can take you to those places of a time gone by and I had two very close friends who loved The Cure and they are both sadly no longer with us.

      The ending chord progression over which that lyric is sung is awesome. And when the change to it comes, it's just magic. After hearing mostly the same few chords for the preceding several minutes, the closing phrase hits like a hammer.

      The intro is one of the greatest of all time. I'm a listener of very eclectic music tastes including psychadelic metal like "Tool" but this is the best intro of a song ever. Hands down. Tool is the greatest band ever, but, this song alone may be better than anything tool ever made. To put it into perspective, I'm a fan of modern and old pop rock, punk, pop punk, psychadelic metal, psychadelic rock (young and old), grunge etc. It's crazy how good this song is.

    Drove across the USA from Vancouver to Toronto during two January 1991 cold days with a badly broken leg. No frills money, just enough to pay for gas to get back to friends in Toronto. Played this album over and over and over again to keep me awake and made it within 48 hours arriving just in time as money for gas was no more. Wonderful memories and thanks to Robert & Co. for getting me through that amazing ordeal, but really not an ordeal as I look back at it now 30 years later in 2020. It was pure pleasure to share that ride with The Cure.

    At the time, when this album dropped, I felt like the cure was past their prime and this was just filler.
    The head on the door, the top, faith, and my all time favorite (to this day) seventeen seconds were all bedrock mortar albums that influenced the very person I was at the time but I felt like this “modern” album was just fodder for an unintelligent child. Interestingly enough, I wore this cassette tape out. Then I bought the CD.
    Listening to this album now, I honestly think it’s the best Cure album of them all. The hair stands up on my neck when most of the songs start and I have vivid flashbacks of what it was like to be listening to the album as an American kid that didn’t want to be a part of bubble gum or big hair rock.
    I was so awkward but I miss those days.
