The Cure If Only Tonight We Could Sleep

[@CBaller2020]

The kids are finally catching up to the fact this band sounds EXACTLY like they do in concert as they do on an album. There aren't too many people or bands who can say the same. The Cure is pure and raw talent.

[@pateris]

They're mostly a live band. Of course, they don't jump around or do theatrics, but the music is there.

[@IceKoldKilla]

Thank you, Deftones.

[@05Tundraguy]

Only reason I’m here is because of the Deftones wanted to hear the original. Never gave The Cure a chance maybe I should?

[@damian5819]

@@05Tundraguy I think maybe he thanks deftones, because this presentation is quite similar to the cover that deftones does in the "mtv icons" of the cure, anyway, thanks deftones and the cure!

I saw this live, from the 3rd row, in 1996 and when Robert did that slow pick slide, my face melted off.

@@i.t.1722 Either way it's amazing just to be at a live Cure show.

[@cybertaiga9534]

This, my friends, is the heart of Cure's music- dark, edgy and ethereal but at the same time romantic and pulls anyone in if given a chance. You can't quite pin it down if it is offering you a glimmer of hope or complete despair but it will surely take you on a journey like no other music. This is how music should be about but rarely anyone makes it for these reasons. The Cure's music is an honest expression and reflection of different aspects of life.

[@javiergado6514]

Perfectly said! Love it.

[@redonprifti8104]

your songs are better

[@chrisd2p2]

The Cure's original is better from a technical sense, is so deep and ethereal. Deftones did such a good ohmage to this at their Icon show. Blending the 2 bands, genres, eras together was beautiful.

[@MsBigd100]

Robert Smith is a genius. This song is spellbinding, pure magic.

[@Kat.Evangeline14]

Over & Over I love it ❤

[@briangavila1324]

In my opinion this is the greatest song on the kiss me album.

[@kaydgaming]

I agree. I think much of the album was too poppy, even though they were good songs.

[@DingusDoofer]

This is my absolute favorite cure song. I'm getting the title tattooed on my body soon

[@ryanbusby7120]

This, and The Kiss

[@diegogo2923]

It 's a wondeful álbum , my favourite , lovely addictive .

[@chrilborn4138]

@@kaydgaming it's not THAT poppy lol and even the pop songs still have a lot of artistic flair and have unconventional structures. Probably their most ambitious album imo, one of my favorites

[@ThatOneDude521]

Robert Smith is one of very few singers who’s voices seemed to age like fine wine, it’s almost unreal. This song is pure sex, Robert’s voice just transcends it to a whole other level.

[@chroniquesindependantes2038]

Probably one of the best and most haunting songs ever. Make me wanna put my goth skin again. Definitely a top hit for making babies sleep

[@squirrelyshirley7629]

Yep! My baby boy used to fall asleep to this.

[@nancysmith4217]

It's totally impossible for me to pick a favorite!!! But some days this is it!! 🙆 And this is a beautiful live version..Listen to it often.

[@lindavangalder2712]

If only tonight we could sleep In a bed made of flowers If only tonight we could fall In a deathless spell If only tonight we could slide Into deep black water And breathe And breathe Then an angel would come With burning eyes like stars And bury us deep In his velvet arms And the rain would cry As our faces slipped away And the rain would cry Don't let it end

Ended too soon

[@JoyfullOne]

Who can't love Robert Smith and the rest? Lyrics, voice, music..even separately, can send you to a most surreal state of serenity, or a night of deep melancholy in the darkest forest.

[@deedies1]

Robert Smith is a genius and I love his newest music better than the older stuff as he has matured into a fantastic singer, songwriter and what a fabulous voice!!💙🎸🥰

The subtleness of this great song by an aged rock star's voice is so great to hear. I plan to listen to it in my final moments.

[@janiquevaillot8554]

A great mastepiece. A haunting song. The best haunting sound of The CURE and Robert Smith ! Love it. Just breathtaking

[@TheCartmansp]

What he does from 1:38 is only in this live version. Unbeatable. Wish we had a Spotify release for the whole Trilogy gig.

[@BigShippy0]

The Cure are one of the few groups that sound better live than the official recordings. A Forest live from 1992 is another amazing live that's not on Spotify 😢

[@Kyuubii999]

you got the entire trilogy on apple music

[@venusblueyez]

just saw them last night at Madison Square Garden, still fantastic

[@gerardopineda9089]

From my Facebook wall: 35 years ago, the legendary British alternative rock band, The Cure, released the studio material called "Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me", which included this enigmatic melody. Whether you know the song, or have never heard it, I share with you my absolutely personal interpretation of its narrative. It seems that we are facing a Gothic elegy in which Robert Smith's guitar simulates the opening of a multidimensional door through which emerges a ghostly presence that dedicates a few words, in the form of lament, to another soul equally ethereal and, apparently, unattainable. At the end of the singing of this wandering spirit, the guitar closes the multidimensional door again while the keyboardist, evoking the sound of an ancient and mysterious flute, places on the door a seal in the form of a timeless spell. Many songs have a story to tell through the lyrics and instrumental sections in the melody and, sometimes very clear as this, also building an atmosphere conducive to give more solidity to the narrative. Millions of followers around the world love this phenomenal dark ballad, representative of the band's most refined and sublime gothic style.

[@williamwilkes8177]

the "trilogy", dvd improves with age......incredible that it can be bought in London for a "fiver"........brilliant line - up as well....

[@aldretaldret4310]

Robert est un Très Grand guitariste car il en joue toujours de manière inspirée et en complète osmose avec ses musiciens. Et tout en restant hyper créatif selon la guitare en main. C'est fabuleux. Tout est sublimé. Quel cadeau. c'est tout simplement somptueux et nouveau. Il a inventé des sons nouveaux, des effets nouveaux, des climats, et des paysages sonores nouveaux tout au long de sa carrière. C'est un maître en la matière pour les personnes qui jouent de la guitare. Cette inventivité est sublime. Magique. C'est ce son inimitable de The Cure. Toujours avec des nouveaux sons et une cohérence par rapport à l'œuvre. C'est assez rare pour être souligné. Bravo et encore bravo. Bravoooo oui bravo 🌹😘🌹👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@HeyBulldog-Beatles-Tribute]

Oui d'accord avec toi, Robert est un guitariste sous estimé (il ne fait rien de super technique ça doit être pour ça) mais il est dans la cour des grands gratteux, car il a un univers précis, rien qu'à lui et à la disposition de ses compos (plutôt que l'inverse chez beaucoup! ) THE CURE FOREVER (bon et les Beatles forever aussi forcément vu notre chaîne et notre groupe! :) )
