Its wild how his talking voice has not aged at all. He still sounds in his early 20's. His singing viice is as good as ever too. A national treasure.

[@PROGROCK-tr9hw]

You can hear the roughness in his voice now,even when he sings

[@TheDreamingJune]

Every time i listen to Robert speak i can't help smiling. He's just so lovely and charming.

[@JannBattisson]

Just a lovely, lovely man. Thank you Mary too, for helping getting the album out ❤xx

[@plev10]

I feel 18 again hearing Robert talk. Thank you for being Robert Smith all these years. 💗🖤

[@OsoiJiji]

Who else would he have been? 🤔

[@SueMetz1]

Same! ❤❤

[@Gothgalactica]

Listening eagerly and happily from America! I laugh so hard listening to Robert he’s so funny and delightful 😂 getting his nocturnal sheep to shake his hand 😂 He sounds just as youthful, witty and interesting as ever. And as a fellow night owl, I love it. I’ve listened to so many interviews of Robert and he’s always a delight. Great live show he blessed us all with for the new album. What an amazing thing to exist at the same time as Robert Smith. 🖤✨

What a lovely down to earth man, Robert is

[@TBolt1]

I wish there had been a studio camera.🎥 Thanks for the interview.

[@HexNottingham]

Endsong fxxking transported all of us into another realm. We all felt that click, Robert. On the first listen, while live, and texting with an old highschool friend also watching, Endsong was emotionally compromising and ripped the sap right out of me.

[@burnthisghost]

Robert is one of the best people among us. 🖤

[@Fatherjohn76]

Lovely that he referenced Hyde Park as a turning point so much. I was there and it was one of the most glorious shows I’ve ever seen

[@Somerset-In-The-Blood]

I love it that Jo,is a Cure fan you can feel it in her voice a great dj with great taste in music bet she has loads of signed stuff from the band & fair play 🙂🕊🤟

[@sarahlee5782]

Agree she asks good questions. It seems he enjoys talking with her.

[@robertpetre9378]

I saw The Cure in 2022 at Wembley OVO Stadium and they were amazing.

[@jonathanrogers1394]

SAME....AND A MILLION TIMES before that! First time in 1983

[@davidlillecrapp2960]

I saw them in 1992 and 2000.

6:54 New Dad will be totally enjoying that shout from Robert Smith

[@JustSheilz]

Thank you for posting the interview without all the extra fluff.

[@rivenwizz]

What a great interview!! I hope they be playing at Glastonbury this year!

[@Joelster-og4pf]

Honestly, I love Robert Smith’s voice as much as The Cure’s music lmao. It just makes me that happy to be alive.

[@Helen-ik9fp]

Love some of the personal anecdotes...the sheep, being nocturnal, being unable to get out of bed and recalling hearing his mum's voice shouting up the stairs! This is currently me to my two teenage sons!

[@ColinCarFan]

This was me as a teen (except for sheep) and I'm still the same at 62 except though wife shouts at me now.

[@robertpetre9378]

I remember when I was going to music College and one of my teachers basically went to Brighton Electric and overheard the Cure rehearing and thought it was a very good cover band until they walked out and he saw them

[@richardmiller3250]

A Strange Day...

[@jozophrenia]

Nocturnal Hand Shaking Sheep 😂😂

[@AthynVixen]

People at the gig that didn't know Endsong... did they attend or watch any of the last tour? I think a lot of the tickets for this session must have gone to the hits only folks insterad of the real fans who couldnt get in as we suspected

[@Letizia-i5x]

21.46 what does he say? thanks

[@TCDB]

I think it's Mahler. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_Mahler

[@Letizia-i5x]

@@TCDB you're right! thank you! It sounds so strange with a British accent but it must definitely be him! 🙂
