The Cure
I saw The Cure over the weekend in Dallas and it was so cool, I had to share. My friends and I bought tickets for the pit, knowing we would be in front of the chairs, but not realizing how close to the stage we would actually be. We ended up in the very front. Right against the fence less than five feet from the stage! If Robert Smith had reached out and I had reached out, we could have touched. It was so cool! It was part of the Curiosa Festival, so we also saw The Cooper Temple Clause, The Rapture and Interpol. Well worth a trip to the Big D, which I normally avoid. Yay!

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps. - Location: Lefse country
I love The Cure. I don't get what some people say about their music being always dark and unhappy. The arrangements are intense and sometimes moody, but they must not pay attention to the lyrics. Usually there's more about love, weirdness and having fun than anything else. My favorite recording of theirs is probably Wild Mood Swings. The last track, "Bare", still rips my heart out. Played it over and over when I was going through a divorce back in the day.
I'm playing the CD now just for old times' sake. Thanks for reminding me.

- Tell us something.: I love Irish music! I am mostly a whistle player but would like to learn more about flutes. I also have a couple older whistles I'd like to sell and maybe pick up a bamboo flute to practice with.

The Cure is one of the few bands I listened to in my younger and wilder days that I still really like.
A friend in high school introduced me to their music, and it still impresses me now just as much as it did back then... really intense stuff.
I recently read that they were trying to make a comeback, and I hope they're successful.
Oh, I could be a polar bear...

I've never heard their music (I'm very, very old) but you guys are making me curious. I guess I'll have to get one of their CDs now.

Call me an ol romantic but I love this type of stuff.in [i]Disintegration[/i], Robert Smith sings what he wrote: 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 ....
And I like the way he weaves it with his music.
Even a religious mystic could identify with these lyrics
as well as mundane goths.
