The Cure Open Wish

[@cristiandesmarais19]

I was a freshman in highschool in 1992 when I saw the Wish tour at the L.A. Colosseum. Dinosaur Jr and the Crane's opened. The same weekend the Northridge earthquake happened. Amazing show with a crazy earthquake.

[@unkind78]

great opener for one of the best The Cure albums

[@jorgeno-remix679]

Robert Smith must be fairly awarded for his brilliant literary work, too.

One of the best songs on Wish imo, you actually being deliriously drunk

[@luciopellegrini2287]

The Best álbum of this great band, inconditional love to all the band

[@shannonofner9709]

Cure rocks on wish.....

[@Aegelis]

Felt a bit betrayed when the Cure went with the heavy & dirty guitar on Wish, but after a few listens, it quickly became one of my favourite albums. This intro in particular brought a rustic noise not found in any of their previous works.

[@meowzer999]

Yeah I love the guitar sound

[@Hoestler]

And this style just works so well when they perform live on the big stages.

[@helencross5183]

It was the only way to go at the time

[@Ck-zk3we]

U2 copied it

[@SuperMiley1994]

It sounds more grunge than goth tbh but I like it.

every abuse of alcohol, drugs and whatnot in a nutshell. perfection.

Been there a thousand times, love this song

Underrated masterpiece.

[@vjeranjurasin5253]

Masterpiece!

[@ivaerak]

how underated? It was universally acclaimed

[@gregv2k]

@@ivaerak On critics' (people who tend to do the most rating) lists of Cure albums, Wish tends to fall middle-lower third. The highest contemporaneous ratings quoted by Wikipedia are from Q and Rolling Stone, 4 out of 5 stars, with the rest 50%=75% range.

[@gregv2k]

@@ivaerak That said, it's brilliant and I love it

[@ivaerak]

@@gregv2k I'd say Wild Mood Swings is underrated. My fav Cure album for sure

Open The Cure I really don't know what I'm doing here I really think I should've gone to bed tonight but Just one drink And there're some people to meet you I think that you'll like them I have to say we do And I promise in less than an hour we will honestly go Now why don't I just get you another While you just say hello Yeah just say hello So I'm clutching it tight Another glass in my hand And my mouth and the smiles Moving up as I stand up Too close and too wide And the smiles are too bright And I breathe in too deep And my head's getting light But the air is getting heavier and it's closer And I'm starting to sway And the hands on all my shoulders don't have names And they won't go away So here I go Here I go again Falling into strangers And it's only just eleven And I'm staring like a child Until someone slips me heaven And I take it on my knees Just like a thousand times before And I get transfixed That fixed And I'm just looking at the floor Just looking at the floor Yeah I look at the floor And I'm starting to laugh Like an animal in pain And I've got blood on my hands And I've got hands in my brain And the first short retch Leaves me gasping for more And I stagger over screaming On my way to the floor And I'm back on my back With the lights and the lies in my eyes And the colour and the music's too loud And my head's all the wrong size So here I go Here I go again Yeah I laugh and I jump And I sing and I laugh And I dance and I laugh And I laugh and I laugh And I can't seem to think Where this is Who I am Why I'm keeping this going Keep pouring it out Keep pouring it down And the way the rain comes down hard That's the way I feel inside I can't take it anymore This it I've become This is it like I get When my life's going numb I just keep moving my mouth I just keep moving my feet I say I'm loving you to death Like I'm losing my breath And all the smiles that I wear And all the games that I play And all the drinks that I mix And I drink until I'm sick And all the faces that I make And all the shapes that I throw And all the people I meet And all the words that I know Makes me sick to the heart Oh I feel so tired And the way the rain comes down hard That's how I feel inside Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Shankar / Peter Gabriel Open lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC

masterpiece!

[@ratpak1908]

25 days countdown for the concert in Greece. Hope opening with this masterpiece!

[@Zerschmetterling-pg3ph]

My favourite album of them. I was 12 when it came out. Bought it instantly because of Friday I´m in love and I´m still listening to it regularely. Still makes me shiver. Listen through it without skippin´as it was meant to be...

[@gordonmccracken1209]

my senior HS year when this came out

[@edgreen8140]

As a listener for 32 years ; i totally agree.

[@caseydopp318]

And we got a reissue.

[@Mico797]

My favorite album

[@spencerhewlett4570]

Might be mine too. I never seem to have a scratched up copy somewhere. I feel nude without🤓⚠️🤓🤪🍌🍌💫

[@michaelscott9026]

One of my favorites. It just captures the feelings/emotions of my social anxiety. Minus the drugs.

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

One of my top ten albums.

[@DarkturtleX]

My fav song on this record.

[@oscarahlke1585]

Well, mine still is Friday I´m in love but this one is pretty close to it!

[@silhouettoofaman2935]

Mine too. In fact, my favorite song by The Cure as a whole!

[@nickrophiliac7469]

For some reason, this album left critics a bit underwhelmed at the time. Mainly, I think, because it lacked a common, unifying 'feel' to it (unlike, for example, 'Disintegration' or 'Pornography'). Never bothered me: 'Head On The Door' and 'Kiss Me' are wildly disparate but no weaker for it, though the latter IS a tad over-long. Maybe it's because 'Disintegration' was this record's direct predecessor and more gloomy grandeur was anticipated.. Whatever, 'Wish' is full of gems worthy of any Cure compilation and should be reappraised and appreciated as such.

[@rolfsverreandresen4633]

You can"t compere this whit pornografiy 😎🙏🙏🙏NAMASTE

[@shannonofner9709]

Agreed.

[@PokeySoggybottom]

I'm with you. I love this album. I know, critics are obsessed with "cohesiveness". Who cares. I own thousands of records and I never once found myself thinking: of only this album had a unifying feel to it. Nonsense I say!!

[@silhouettoofaman2935]

I think "Wish" is a culmination of "Kiss Me" and "Disintegration." Bright, poppy sounding tunes one moment; dark, depressing songs the next. The result is an interesting feeling of melancholy that no other album seems to replicate!

[@SuperMiley1994]

It actually sounds like Sonic Youth.

[@SuperMiley1994]

& Soungarden. Sounds Grunge.

If you're listening t this in 2022...you have great taste in music.

Fiction records has always taken care of the artwork, if memory serves. But at my age, kollo, + the drugs; it doesn't always serve correctly. Apologies for that.
