OH MY GOSH!| FIRST TIME HEARING The Cure - Lullaby REACTION

[@vantheman1238]

Never knew that but yeah it has to be 👍

[@jithel7948]

No, London Calling is not by the Cure. You're thinking of the Clash. Glad you liked this song. Every song on that album (Disintigration) is fire

[@joemc1960]

Especially the title track IMO

[@TahoeNevada]

Disintegration is the Cure-iest Cure album that The Cure ever Cured!

[@davidhuggan6315]

Yep correct, London Calling is The Clash, and they reacted to that one.

[@jay-bt2lu]

that whole album is amazing. they havent even skimmed the surface of the cure...starting with 'a forest'...'lets go to bed'...'bots don't cry'...'inbetween days'...' charlotte sometimes'...'the walk'...'close to me'...' hot hot hot'...'never enough'... 'pictures of you'..'fascination street '....should i go on??? jay and amber...give the people what they want!! more Cure!!

[@Jukebox45s]

I don't know what they were on when they created Disintegration, but it stands out by far as their very best work.

[@markzalubas5793]

All Cure songs have a killer bass line. My wife surprised me by taking me to the Cure concert at Madison Square Garden in June. I was out of my mind. Great concert They haven't lost a step. When it was over Robert Smith walked around the stage to thank his fans. Nobody left despite the lights being on. We gave him a 10-minute standing ovation. He was visibly moved. He's an amazing talent and a truly nice guy. Huge Cure fan for life. LIsten to as much as you can.

[@gigi-ij1hk]

I was there one night too! My seventh Cure show. Hope it's not my last

[@flinx649]

I went to the opening show of the tour in New Orleans.... awesome show

[@saintsataniko2116]

The great bassist Simon Gallup was always the coolest member of The Cure and has been there grinding out killer lines from his low-slung bass for almost 40-years now. He's basically The Cure's answer to Peter Hook of New Order.

[@celularbonatti7469]

yeah... bassline

[@lindseycarter579]

We saw them in Dallas this year. I have never missed a Cure show. But it has been awhile since they were here and I kept saying they sound JUST THE SAME. AMAZING. And I may have shed a tear at the end during the standing ovation. You could just tell how moved Robert was.

[@speleokeir]

Me too, since I was 13 in the early 80s and my eldest sister brought an album back from her first term at uni. They were still a bit of a cult band at the time and almost nobody at my school had heard of them. Hard to believe now, but they didn't get huge until about 89, 13 years after forming and after 8 albums.

[@JackRazz1]

The Cure has a very theatrical feel to their catalog. They are their own mood. Legends.

[@hazi5961]

The entire "Disintegration" Album by The Cure is a masterpiece. It's in my top 5 favorite albums of the 1980s.

[@DavidF-y4t]

Their most perfectly-realised album. Timeless and brilliant, without a single weak track on it.

It's excellent, but Pornography is their dark masterpiece IMO and my all time favourite album.

[@pammyla66]

I miss the 80’s I wish I could go back and never leave

[@SMccrate01]

The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees were very much the proto-Goth bands. Their dark style totally informed the Goth trend to come. Very Tim Burton as you noted - Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Nightmare Before Christmas, etc. Check out Siouxsie and the Banshees Happy House for a very weird experience!

[@octoberguy]

Yes... Need some Siouxsie and the Banshees! "City in Dust"

[@elebenty5709]

Yes! I love the Top of the Pops "Dear Prudence" cover where Robert is not having any of that lip sync or fake playing.

[@marquisdelafayette1929]

“How Not to Drown” by CHVRCHES and Robert Smith is one of the best newer songs from him. The way they did the song is a mash of indie pop and the creepy guitar riffs 80s feel.

[@claire-mariefromfrance5712]

I've already asked them to react to "Why can't I be you?"; I'm glad almost 100 people have approved this suggestion; I love this upbeat song with the trumpet 🙂 "Let's go to bed" would be another good suggestion

Amber catches on to songs so quickly. I think "sleep paralysis" is a brilliant call. And of course this is such an appropriate song for the spookiness of halloween.

[@bellodrade]

Disintegration deserves to be in the conversation as one of the most seminal albums of all time. It is an absolute masterpiece that just gets better with age. It cements The Cure as probably the most influential band to come out of that Era.

[@Chris.Davis.2]

I prefer Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me. Just taste, i guess.👍

[@florenciaalvarez3213]

I saw The Cure in concert this summer and I about lost my mind when they performed this song. Not only did they sound amazing, the visuals on stage showed a spider inside or on a web with green lighting! As the song progressed the spider got bigger!! Amazing song, amazing video! More Cure please!!

[@octoberguy]

The Cure is 🔥 period. I add my vote for "The Forest" next. Or "Pictures of You" ... Man, being in my 20s in the 80s.... what a stroke of luck!

[@steveseybolt]

The Cure Is an 80's Time Capsule ! They are Prolific in their influence and set a soundtrack for many of us. I am so happy to see you get their style and enjoy it. The Great thing about this channel is the broad spectrum of music you guys listen to. Thank you again for reminding us all just how Music brings us all together as a People !

[@csn10]

Everyday is Halloween by Ministry and Bela Lugosi is Dead by Bauhaus round out my top 3 Halloween songs, and the sound effects these bands employ are still light years ahead of their time!

[@Beachgirl1]

“DOA” by Bloodrock is the ultimate Halloween song. Unfortunately, no one ever reacts to that one.

[@csn10]

Live performances are well worth checking out for The Cure: A Forest live at Werchter Festival Belgium 1982 as Robert Smith was just starting to change his style as was their sound, then 10:15 on a Saturday Night live 1979 to see their punk to post-punk origins. Smith wrote the song when he was 16. For Bela Lugosi's dead, start with Live at Riverside (BBC show) but eventually check out the full 9 minute version. This is Bauhaus' first recorded song that spawed a new genre, goth,, though they have many styles and find that association too limiting. Bauhaus' creativity level is on par with Radiohead & Bowie (Bowie was a big influence and they were in a movie together, with Catherine Deneuve & Susan Sarandon). That's even before you consider guitarist/writer/vocalist/saxophonist's other bands: Tones on Tail & Love and Rockets.

[@razor6552]

I agree. Spy in the Cab is another good Bauhaus song

[@tparmenter]

I’d throw in Spellbound by Siouxsie and the banshees. Killing Moon by Echo and the bunnymen and The Woods by The Call. And almost anything by Oingo Boingo…..

[@thing_under_the_stairs]

@@csn10 In this house, Peter Murphy of Bauhaus and Robert Smith of The Cure share the title of The Gothfather. Yes, I know that The Cure aren't technically considered a goth band, but their music still got played at the spookiest clubs every night, and I don't think I've ever met a gothy individual who wasn't a Cure fan. The Cure and Bauhaus are two of the best live bands I've ever seen too!

[@paulsheedy4650]

Ooh, excellent choice. The bass in this is brilliant. You've got to check out "The Forest" too. Been a huge fan of the Cure since the early eighties. Robert Smith gets a lot of his inspiration for these songs from his dreams. A perfect piece of dark, moody pop. Thanks guys, Paul.😉📀🎶❤️

[@cliffwheeler7357]

I always wondered if this song was about depression, but it's so beautifully done and almost calming in a way. Love the Cure so much! Another song you might like of theirs is "A Forest" - which is an earlier song and one of my favorites. Another great song that is fitting at this time of year is Concrete Blonde's "Bloodletting".

They have been going since the 70s and they're still putting out new music. They have so many great songs, the list is endless. That's Robert Smith singing and Simon Gallup on bass. He is a lot of fun to watch live. He wears his bass hung very low and is in constant motion. Next year, you've gotta check out "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus for Halloween. It's a goth classic.

[@Albert-dd5hd]

Jay's comment about that Edward Scissorhand's vibes is spot on. Fun Facts: Edward's hair is based on Robert Smith of The Cure. Also, Tim Burton had asked Robert Smith of The Cure to do the soundtrack, and had even sent the script. Robert Smith was busy recording "Disintegration" album at the time, and didn't know who Burton was, so passed up the opportunity, handing Danny Elfman the job.

[@glyoung99]

They were phenomenal and I also loved their whole look, and vibe, which reminded me of The Addams Family. While I love music videos, but they along with compilation/"best of" albums rob you of the original album version of artists' songs, where they usually jammed several minutes longer on both fast and slow songs. 2&3 minute songs were really rare. Bands truly had and recorded phenomenal jam sessions and The Cure could definitely jam!
