This is UNBELIEVABLE. HOTD was my first Cure album, and so IBD was the first Cure song I ever heard - and then eventually the first Cure video I ever saw was this one, and I was hooked beyond belief. I thought the video was Out of this World - Cure pun intended. The making of this video lends such fascinating insight into one of the most intriguing Cure videos. I love all the Tim Pope Cure videos, but this one is FIRE.

[@michaelscott9026]

14:50 “Robert however staggered out.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Actually looked like Simon. But still a great little bit caught on camera. 👍

[@BrekMartin]

I thought I’d seen all Cure footage. Great find! Funny hearing Tim’s ideas being questioned before knowing that this, and other Cure vids of his are iconic.

[@HexNottingham]

Homie really said "portly gentleman." LOL

[@alukuhito]

I thought I heard him say that. Maybe he meant it like "of a stately or dignified appearance and manner."

[@lenniet]

The most perfect pop song.

[@jumbajambaddada191]

Incredible to see this BTS. The In Between Days video is iconic, it's a classic. Hard to find online, but when you see it, feels as fresh as ever.

[@JohnM...]

So that's what an ancient Gopro looks like...

[@jarlathsometimes]

Wooohoooo!This was brilliant! Never saw it before, thanks so much for sharing! Seeing as how the biography movie has now been put on the shelf it's great to see stuff like this, thanks soooo much!! xx

[@klaudijavorih5809]

Terrific footage 👌👌👌

[@nane6]

Great stuff, thanks for uploading. I love watching these "making of..." Videos. BTW 14:55 that wasn´t Robert staggering out, that was Simon ;-)

[@HexNottingham]

That's what I thought, too

[@debbieturner6194]

Definitely Simon!!

[@cytheriacatt452]

Porl/Pearl is so gorgeous in this vid, has always been my fave from the Cure.

[@davidellis5141]

A how to for those that wanted to direct music videos. Only the very elite made real money and are still active today. Tim Pope was elite.

[@abrahamanthony3011]

Pearl has always been my favorite from the Cure

[@nowiamsane6561]

Thanks for this. I've always wondered about this video and now I know everything about it. Cool.

[@denysemcalister3390]

Incredible footage. I loved every moment of this. Thank you.

[@HexNottingham]

Man. Imagine coming across those Polaroids today.

[@wearethehappyones18]

I bet Robert or the director still has them...wonder if they would sell them or something 🤔

[@Natalia.......]

AHH amazing video..thanks for sharing 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@John_F898]

This is great. Tim Pope is great. Porl looks great in this video. I love his jumbo acoustic guitar!

[@clairepruden4974]

For Porl/Pearl to manage to be relaxed enough to move with Tim’s camera manipulation, while also maintaining an exceedingly successful job of playing/miming the guitar for this particularly fast paced song….he is a guitar God. I’m a musician and this would have been huge fun, but so, so difficult! Quick edit - my hubs is a media and music college lecturer and because I incessantly refer to the Cure for…any reason I can think of at the time…he used the Inbetween Days video as an example to students of how effects could be achieved with lower tech equipment. I asked him, you know about the whole day-glo sock thing, right? You know where Tim Pope first used that effect? Queue baffled look. I told him - he did a similar thing for a video with Strawberry Switchblade years before. Ahhhh…when you know way too much about your favourite bands, and even the teachers won’t listen 😂😂😂

[@debbieturner6194]

This is fascinating viewing! So clever and so much work put into it!

[@numaboni3767]

Thank you so much for this awesome footage!

[@gingerespinoza5015]

This video would be so easy to film today...Im laughing at that big clunky camera and all the people looking in...I could do all of it by myself in two hours.

[@ml680]

wowee thanks!

[@donnaspears1970]

This is great. Thank you!

[@suzzcc8599]

So awesome to see and hear the process explained by Tim Pope, and of course all The Cure members at that time! Sadly, here in the U.S. we cannot see most of their music videos 😞. If anyone knows where or how we can access I would sure like to know. Thank you for posting this wonderful documentary! 🤩👏👏

[@Bloc_De_Notas]

maybe you can see them in MTV

[@SuzzCC]

@@Bloc_De_Notas Thanks for the suggestion, sadly MTV changed their programming and don’t feature music videos like before.

@@suzzcc8599 A pleasure! I am very happy that now you can see all the videos. Ps: If you are worried about if they delete them you can download the videos

[@klaudijavorih5809]

Got any footage from 1984?

[@TCDB]

Probably, I don't know off the top of my head. But I'm not sure there's anything that's not already on YT in better quality by other uploaders.

[@klaudijavorih5809]

@@TCDB It'll be great if you could find something from '84.

Tim wants to be a tree. He can in today’s world. People are identifying as whatever the hell they want. 🙄
