Converge - Disintegration (The Cure Cover)

Disintegration originally by The Cure, the 1st track off the Y2K EP

[@Mynhassty]

This band's been helping me through some fucking dark, rough times, man.

[@trismus_]

converge has helped us all through the worst, really. i remember when the lowest common denominator was all i listened to for weeks on end lmfao

[@boloto98]

going through a divorce with this song

[@Dodoskangs]

Have you heard The Cure's cover of jane doe though?

[@billyalarie2841]

i wish this was real

[@JohnSmithAprilMay]

Make it real, please.

[@afterstars]

No but I heard Kenny G’s cover of Jane Doe. Insane.

[@plasticpictureframe]

Oh my goodness I need this to continue living

[@ryannourie71]

Give this huma a raise! Funny stuff

[@roxaneturquoise1751]

Oh, I miss the kiss of treachery The shameless kiss of vanity The soft and the black and the velvety Up tight against the side of me And mouth and eyes and heart all bleed And run in thickening streams of greed As bit by bit it starts the need To just let go my party piece I miss the kiss of treachery The aching kiss before I feed The stench of a love for a younger meat And the sound that it makes when it cuts in deep The holding up on bended knees The addiction of duplicities As bit by bit it starts the need To just let go my party piece But I never said I would stay to the end So I leave you with babies and hoping for frequency Screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy Screaming me over and over and over I leave you with photographs, pictures of trickery Stains on the carpet and stains on the scenery Songs about happiness murmured in dreams When we both of us knew how the ending would be So it's all come back round to breaking apart again Breaking apart like I'm made up of glass again Making it up behind my back again Holding my breath for the fear of sleep again Holding it up behind my head again Cut in deep to the heart of the bone again Round and round and round and it's coming apart again Over and over and over And now that I know that I'm breaking to pieces I'll pull out my heart and I'll feed it to anyone I'm crying for sympathy, crocodiles cry For the love of the crowd And the three cheers from everyone Dropping through sky Through the glass of the roof Through the roof of your mouth Through the mouth of your eye Through the eye of the needle It's easier for me to get closer to Heaven Than ever feel whole again But I never said I would stay to the end I knew I would leave you and fame isn't everything Screaming like this in the hope of sincerity Screaming it's over and over and over I leave you with photographs, pictures of trickery Stains on the carpet and stains on the memory Songs about happiness murmured in dreams When we both of us knew how the end always is How the end always is How the end always is How the end always is How the end always is How the end always is

[@thundahun]

yes!!!

[@loser6118]

please remind me where i want to go. this song broke my mind.

[@krilin31]

I love The Cure and this is probably the best Cure cover I've ever heard.

[@FionaAppleAddict]

Two of the bands I love the most!!! ♡

[@marclepine]

re-discovered this old gem. so heavy and apocalyptic, such sorrow bleeding through

[@Adrianrollins801]

I"ve falling deeper in love with Converge because of this

[@snyderkurva]

i cant get enough of this song!

[@kumabear8989]

本家のThe Cureとはまた違う美しさがありますね 僕はこっちも大好きです

[@ipudding100]

@Dynamitethedrummer So go listen to The Cure play it... This is a cover by Converge remember... the Hardcore band. If they left it as it was, there'd be no point covering it. Regard music as art, everyone has their own interpretation of it. You know? omfg, haha

[@kate9341]

Best cover ever.

[@godis4sale]

This is one of the bands that pioneered that "cliche". I realize that knowing that probably isn't going to alter your opinion of the way it sounds, but I felt compelled to correct you because it bugs me that you've lumped them in a category with their imitators. With that said, you might enjoy the cover they do of "Clean" by Depeche Mode. There's no screaming in that one.

[@ypmorb]

JACOB BANNOB = THE BEST

[@jmanitowabi]

[@FreddyMercurysAIDS]

@Talrose Vocals turned up in Converge songs? Nope.

[@nickstrung]

So Fucking Nice ! Best Cover of all time !

[@treznor1138]

I loved the instrumentals in this cover. You guys are obvious talented and I can appreciate that. You're vocalist also sounds talented as well, however I had a hard time hearing the dude. Albeit I have been to Afghanistan a few times now, been near a few explosions. So my hearing isn't all that good. Am I the only one here?

[@finnbogiorneinarsson8381]

Hate to break it to you but this was released in 1999 and Converge have released 5 full lengths since this EP came out.

[@GREENWARRI0R]

Lmao

[@Skedarking85]

Wish I could hear the vocals... other than that sounds great.

[@EightFiftyRyan]

Yes, it is.

[@blackspring3207]

I love both bands and i love this cover but sometimes this is too dark for me to listen to. I really only listen to dark music but this is too much sometimes.

[@jeffdahms12]

6 months since the last comment. shame

[@joesteele8167]

Yee yee

[@danieldelgado6378]

Hey still here in 2020 listening to converge and the cure!

[@VanityInPerson]

Hmm, it's not THAT bad. "Disintegration" (by The Cure) could be my favourite song ever and I love it to death.

[@TheHawkdaddy]

>= l how dare you scream.

[@terrormachine78]

You mad?

[@sugarlessrobots]

how disappointing ....

[@desertedxmind315]

This is HORRIBLE

[@Britva1987]

No one care

[@mustyshitlap]

converge does no wrong

[@joemarkel2391]

Damn yall had some pretty embarassing takes in like 2012

[@saddylicious]

i forgot how heart wrenching this cover was. gah! i love the cure, i've been a fan for decades and i've heard some really bad covers of their songs. this is not one of them. they interpreted it in their own way, which i respect. converge is amazing.

[@jermM.]

❤️‍🩹

[@SIGHBOY6]

This should be secret bonus song at the end of Jane Doe

[@akroma00]

converge is one of the most respected bands to come out of the metal/hardcore scene in the last 20 years. I can see how some Cure fans might not dig Converge but do not dismiss them as some generic, flash-in-the-pan. I always thought Converge went way out of their comfort zone on this track and did a very good job.

[@CrashExhibition]

Said it before and i'll say it again. I'd prefer to hear someone scream with a crackling, rasping, fucked up voice that means it, than a perfectly honed yell that has no weight of truth or emotion behind it. Converge fucking rule.

[@delphian]

The vocals at 4 sound like Stephen Brodsky of cave-in, who was, very briefly, the bassist for converge. So it's probably him

[@BromeliadBro]

Most definitely Steve.

[@nicktaxidermy]

as good as a cure cover can humanly be. overcoming the potency of the original is very difficult. I love this.

[@figurehead1971]

Metalcore is not my thing at all, but this is one hell of a cover. As far as I am concerned covers should provide a different take on the original, a twist, or offer something new totally. I love The Cure but I would sooner take this as a cover version than how dreadful a cover of 'World In My Eyes' by Depeche Mode that The Cure did.

[@movimentodoscacos]

+figurehead1971 They also covered a Depeche Mode song, Clean.

[@sharpvonl201]

+figurehead1971 Metalcore is in general trash marketed to angsty teens but there are a few exceptions to the rule and this band has some good albums

[@Rivor66]

Metalcore is not what you 've listened to here..Fortunately!

[@Benjamin-om3ih]

Converge is totally a metalcore band, they just happen to be amazing

[@JohnSmithAprilMay]

Converge is metalcore in the way that Judas Priest is speed metal. So, the label can apply, but their sound evolved too early in the genre's lifespan for their inclusion to be uncontroversial. They're much closer to proto-metalcore like Rorschach than As I Lay Dying is what I'm saying.

[@ludovicaabc777]

This is beautiful.

[@folkandyeyo6570]

i know right?

[@richardcardoza1895]

This is both nostalgic and tragic in the best ways

[@terrormachine78]

Wrong, it did happen. And it happened years ago. For Converge to cover anything similar to their own style (which is hard to define in the first place) wouldn't be a challenge, or even interesting to say the least. As for your recommendations...a Rollins cover, or "sweedish black metal" [sic] just tells me that you don't know much about Converge.

[@Bablootski]

I love both bands and both versions. You people are so closed minded!

[@deathTurgenev]

both version are fucking beautiful. both very original bands

[@scarsdp2]

HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. This kills me everythime.

[@andi5906]

Agreed.

[@evanbahls7970]

This specific cover might be one of my favorite songs ever. If my band wrote that song I'd be like "yo Converge, this is your song now" . The original is still awesome though of course.

[@homer7504]

This is the dumbest comment I’ve ever read. Although it’s a good cover, this would never be their song 😂😂

[@youwinoneinternets]

What a cover

[@LetsGetHighOnMorris]

Converge is my favorite band, but I started out listening to bands like The Cure, and lemee tell you something. Converge ain't an easy band to get into. But that doesn't make them bad. They're kinetic, and violent, and have truely AMAZING songwriting, musicianship and technical abilities. Jacob Bannon is a huge fan of The Cure.

[@vb_blokeboi7251]

LetsGetHighOnMorris Yeah, agree with you on Converge being pretty inaccessible but my God are they worth it. One of the greatest bands ever as far as I'm concerned.

[@ManuelSanchez-kd7pn]

There is a band that Jacob Bannon has recently done the album art for called Frail Body. This band screams almost identically to the way Jacob Bannon's vocals are in this song. I just listened to this and it's awesome to see how we get from The Cure to a newer band like Frail Body

[@INVERNOrec]

This is a great cover.

[@marcopelaezfernandez4573]

feel like crap day in and day out, and today I was reminded of this beautiful song. thank you so much, Converge, for this amazing and sensual cover.

[@BromeliadBro]

Dear Converge. Your band is great. I think if you explored this sound further, now, you could do very interesting things with it. No need for the gratuitous double-kick part these days, of course.

[@andi5906]

Always a need for that, stop talking crazy 😋

[@blackspring3207]

The double kick part is amazing and recalls industrial music to me here

[@hellzapoppers]

Best.

[@we_become_buried]

Remember cure fans; your just a fucking fan and remember converge fans; you are too This is not your art. Stop judging and cover it yourself Me personally i wouldnt want a cover i did to sound like the original, and who said that was the fucking point anyway? Shut yo mouths and navigate away from the page if a converge cover bothers you. Its rare they even cover nuff said Btw i got my nose broken this weekend at a converge show and i couldnt be happier. Great results!

[@NWJx206]

I love Converge and always have. They play the best and most alive shows I've seen. But I must say, When covering a song from The Cure.... The screaming can fuck off.

[@The-usurper]

Not knowing anything about converge doesn't bother me at all. It's a shit cover. My friends dragged me to enough of their shows to know I will never listen to them. I hope I never hear another shitty cure cover again.

[@mardocchino]

disintegration is my favourite song... i don't like this cover...

[@connorodonnell1307]

ruined as soon as Bannon starts yelling

[@DerElektrolurch86]

Crap!

[@The-usurper]

Them to cover a Rollins band song or maybe a sweedish black metal band. It might be their take on the cure but sreaming just isn't happening man.

[@dynamicphotography_]

This is horrible and should be permanently deleted and the original tracks burned.

[@Tionyd]

go listen to easy music

[@andi5906]

@@Tionyd lucky that guy isn’t in charge of history, what a terrible reaction to something just bc he can’t appreciate it.

[@3squaremedia]

Started well then - well let's just say it "Disintegrated". Stick with the original and best - especially the live version form "Festival"

[@Zeldaforeva]

No. Some parts were okay but if anyone says this is better than the original, you are crazy. I don't doubt that you are good musicians, and it shows, but do not scream, like 'screamo', in a Cure song. Okay.

[@sonuvabix]

It sounded good till that cliche, unoriginal screaming came in. What a joke........

[@kaylerpp]

Not good, I'm sorry, not sorry

[@Talrose]

The music was good, and though the vocals should have been turned up in the beginning, the song was well done at first. Then came the screaming. I'm sorry, screaming can work well in a song, but it is WAY out of place here. This cover is disappointing.

[@vietnamsounds]

Holy shit, this sounds like Cats fucking to a bad guitar riff that sounds nothing like the cure. Robert Smith is rolling over in his grave and he's not even dead yet.

[@suddenlyxsuicide]

It is Brodsky. Cave In also contributed Plain Song to the compilation this track originally appears on.
