The Cure Plainsong in Hawaii 2016 - Robert Close-Up

[@sallysimpson7]

I love Robert. So many people talk about how he looks. Don't forget that we ALL age. He was a teenager when he started The Cure. Sure he was cute. Sure he was hot. He's not now, he's past middle age. But, look in his eyes, listen to his voice. That teenager is still there, it's just seen the world.

[@TanyasEtherealFootsteps]

Oh I think he's still cuuuute! He IS hot! Just wait until he gets back in shape! He will look like his Wish days again. You can catch glimpses of his cuteness here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6GofIWGr6-ZhLM

[@lisabaltzer3163]

sallysimpson7 He would have aged better if he had better health habits when he was younger.

[@buddhajoecoughlin3011]

You are finally a person of truth. So many haters out there. I feel the pang of Robert getting old as we all are. He is a human treasure. He will probably outlive all of us. Thank you for your comment.

[@MrJohnCrist]

I like the the way he looks here better than when he was young. Every wrinkle represents substance and experience added to his talent.

[@pameladee9019]

Hot then, hot now. Inside and out.

[@TheDreamingJune]

I love the way Robert looks at the crowd with appreciation and warmth. He's a beautiful soul.

[@clijeron1973]

I agree with you 100% ....

[@cynthianovoselsky3592]

Yes sometimes he looks above and beyond what is going on It's great Covid release

[@nikkidunaway2130]

He tries to look at every person in the room, not just a mass of people. He is making a connection to the people who appreciate the music he has created. Humble.

[@TanyasEtherealFootsteps]

I love that he makes the effort. Was so happy to be able to capture this.

[@carlahaiduk1878]

+Tanya's Ethereal Footsteps really amazing. so glad to see what you have filmed.

[@carly1821]

Ikr what a guy ❤️☺️

[@ionia23]

Should probably tell you that everything beyond about the fifth row is a blur to him. Bad eyesight :).

[@_phoebe_fitzgerald5430]

nikki dunaway ♥️♥️♥️

[@P-Bass_Pete]

My god, the opening notes of this song just take me right back to Spring 1989 when I first popped the cassette in my tape deck, sitting in my bedroom with the window open and feeling like life held unlimited possibilities and friends would always be there and never die.

[@kieron1966]

Pete nice sentiment!!!!!!!!!,

[@markusenzen524]

Same with me!

[@alexandersokolov6684]

Pete The same happened to me in Riga, Latvia! Cassette, then CD's ... Disintegration is a masterpiece of The Cure.

[@nic9972]

love this comment

[@francinenazaruddin]

What a wonderful thing to say!

[@dave9291000]

It seems he wants everyone to know that he see's them all and loves them all,what a beautiful way to show that he cares......

[@juliewaters5747]

dave wheless Yes, those eyes man, those eyes.....its like he's trying to memorize every moment, every fan, every heart. He has no clue just how many of us there are...eternal love for this beautiful soul

[@dave9291000]

Julie Waters....Amen to that....

[@sintpieters2601]

I'm almost 48 yo and first time I've heard Robert singing it was like "wooow what a voice ! what a charisma !" I'm still in love with what he did, does and will do (I hope) ! Robert Smith is the best artist (alive) from end of 70's ... God bless him

[@unemployablegraduate]

This is a great clip. He's clearly very moved - and still, after all these years, slightly bemused and puzzled - that so many people have turned up to see his band!

[@geminimoon6221]

unemployablegraduate agreed, still a humbleness to him and gratitude! Loved him since 1985.. going to see be traveling from Florida to see the cure in concert on 10/5/2019 at ACL in Austin, TX... will be my first time seeing them after all these years and I am beyond excited!

[@jasonlynn1017]

This close up camera work shows how radiant Smith's soul truly is.

[@joannastergiou145]

Even after all of these years he is still adoreable and is still married I believe to his high school sweetheart. They don't make too many like that anymore. Amazing musical talent. Would love to see him in concert.

[@TanyasEtherealFootsteps]

It was surprising to see Mary in modern times at the induction ceremony. She looked like stars in her sparkly, gypsy shawl. I have no idea what their marriage has been like or is currently like, but I know staying together that long is rare.

[@deedies1]

Would love to see him in person also, love this man so much!!!

[@davok73]

Making people happy for 40 years .. respect !!

[@ricardmonmanycodina8927]

Robert Smith es y sera uno de los cantantes mas educados en el escenario y os dire algo q ya sabéis Robert quiere acer saber al publico el gran agradecimiento q tiene acia sus seguidores y la gran necesidad de azer saber la estimación incondicional q tiene acia ellos !!!!!! Es una gran persona y lo mas importante para el es su mujer !!!!! Gracias Robert.

[@dorianacambria2405]

I went to a Cure concert just yesterday evening, in Florence, and now I'm here crying my heart out while watching this. I can't put into word what emotions I have felt. I hadn't experienced anything like that before. I'm 17 and I'll rememeber yesterday evening for the rest of my life. Robert is a human treasure, I love him with all my heart.

[@rickyallen8312]

I had the same reaction the first time I saw this vidioe.

[@Warrior-re5fn]

Doriana Cambria welcome too real music. The cure are so underrated and yet they are in my opinion the best band ever. 😎🙏

[@Sayyestoheaven31]

So agreed❤❤❤😭😭😭

[@thatgirl73067]

I wonder if he knows what he really means to everyone? I wonder if he knows that when I see his face, I cry? I wonder if he realizes the depth of which he touches my soul? Robert Smith you embody a warmth, peace, and tranquility that no other artist will ever be able to touch. Your presence is righteous!

[@nicostruppich]

Same, I am watching his face and crying, his soul is beautiful as is his face, his eyes, all of him ❤

[@joywilliam1697]

his voice is still magic!!!

[@Miss_C77]

keith mitchell yes. I saw him twice In concert and the voice is the same

[@sylmaron5859]

Goosebumps every time I play this song. The album it's from is a timeless classic for eternity.

[@alexandre210613]

Teary eyes at the beginning of that song. Where is my Youth ?

[@eduardotelmo8891]

Im only 18 and the cure are my favorite band. Almost nobody i know , understand the lyrics of their songs and i feel like they dont understand music at all. The cure its not only a bad, its passion itself.

[@abrahamhernandez6928]

Eduardo Telmo yeah!

[@maevejones1179]

i'm 19 and same!! their music is the only thing that helped me with my chronic depression!

[@monimoni781]

beautiful face powerful eyes robert smith....love

[@Munstermash1313]

This is fabulous footage. I hope Robert knows how much we all love him.I hope he feels that energy when he's up there performing.I find it hard to put into words just how he has helped me..right now,I'm even typing this through tears. What an amazing human. And it's like he's a Shaman that we all go to so we would be healed 💟

[@_phoebe_fitzgerald5430]

Munstermash1313 ❤️

[@ehell0]

This just makes me cry too… 'cause I understand you well, I've been there, we all feel rescued and safe. He really knows the way we feel and how to touch each and every corner of our hearts and they're the band of my life. There's infinitely much more than just words… it's the intimacy they create and give us and SO ON… So thankful for they exist.

[@cswalker21]

I think he knows. Why else would he keep making such beautiful music for us ;)

[@nvred80]

Robert Smith is a rare jewel.I don't care how old he gets or how much weight he's gained over the years he is still gorgeous and always will be to me! He is beautiful inside and out. He is truly a beautiful soul. I love him and all the cure members for always staying the same and not allowing their amazing talent and fame corrupt their spirits! It's rare to see that! I've hold the cure very close to my heart and I'm so happy the cure has lasted for over 40 years!

[@geminimoon6221]

Munstermash1313 agreed! 35 years and he still touches my soul unlike any other

[@CURELOVER]

... I met and spoke to Robert in Cincinnati Ohio in the 90's ... stood right in front of him and asked him "how is your mood"? he seemed to enjoy my question as it was the WILD MOOD SWINGS tour ... I didn't get a picture and I regret that ... BTW ... he answered by saying that he didn't like to meet people before the show but he would rather do it after ... as they had arrived late and weren't quite settled in yet ... as he looked shyfully at the floor ... then they whisked him away ... never in my life did I think I would stand so close let alone talk to him ... I am one lucky feller ...

[@pammyla66]

Carll Boland you are a lick guy I have been a fan since I was 14 I’m 52 now meeting him would be a dream come true

[@maevejones1179]

YOU LUCKY GUY!!!!!

[@dave9291000]

Beautiful song by a beautiful soul.........Robert is one of the best !!!

[@annaflecchia4747]

You know i love you Robert. My best memories are with you and your wonderful songs. Thank you.

[@stancampbell1270]

The one and only Robert Smith: 40 years of musical delights!

[@thomaskamphuis2396]

Remember both Cure lovers and critisizers: there will never (Never) be this kind of artists anymore 20 years from know (or.. sooner). This is so totally authentic and touching, not having known this music you haven't lived. Dying with this music, you live on. Period.

[@Sofia-ms23]

Can't believe I'm seeing The Cure within less than a month. I'm only 17 but their music has already helped me through so much. Absolutely admire Robert Smith

[@carlahaiduk1878]

I'm 43. I started listening to Cure when I was 13. it makes me so happy to have had 30 years of great music in my life. the cure opened my eyes and ears to art and music and self expression. they really really enriched my life.

[@JubeProductions]

The Cure has been one of my favorite bands for over 25 years and it's great to see their influence still has an impact today with people your age....and of all ages. Enjoy your show, it might just change your life like it did mine when I saw them for the first time live in 1992.

[@juliashar]

i am 49 too. feels like yesterday no?

[@eduardotelmo8891]

Same!!!

[@farine5]

good beggining !

[@lonestar6709]

_"It's just the way I smile you said...."_ Best album of the 80's.

[@CYGNIUS]

His voice doesn't age. Amazing.

[@70sladyalways25]

Robert looks contemplative. I think he’s digesting all the years he’s been able to share his beautiful music with his fans. ❤

[@manaz72]

Different look, different hair, older. But still the best! Robert looks so shy and yet does such a fantastic job. LOVE The Cure! Born in the GDR felt in love to The Cure and suddenly my country breaks down. The Cure were always by my side.

[@DavidHinkle-SnowLuminos]

A really touching video of Robert loving on his fans. Some may not see it, but I do. He really loves his fans. He is a wonderful artist.

[@yolandavasquez2626]

Robert Smith is so very handsome I don't care if he's 64 65 years old I am so in love with him I love you Robert Smith

[@clancy7206]

I love how he look's like he can't believe how many people are actually there to see him perform. Even after that many years, he just seems to be overwhelmed by it. 💕

[@toomworld]

I was fortunate enough to see this live on the Disintegration tour. It was '91 or so. It was beautiful.

[@70sladyalways25]

Long live Robert and his beautiful musical compositions. Love The Cure ❤

[@Sayyestoheaven31]

I'm 44 now I remember being 12 and hearing this for the 1st time the cure had such an impact in my life I love you the cure

[@johnboy1828]

It sure seems Robert really appreciates his fans and doesn't take them or his fame for granted.

[@TanyasEtherealFootsteps]

I get the same impression, John.

[@johnboy1828]

Yeah, he has an awkward humility that I can relate to and appreciate.....along with millions of other fans... we seldom see this with our "Stars" today and it's refreshing to see :)

[@brittanyjackson5608]

I hung out with him one nite at a party and while everyone was drinking and partying we just stood in the corner in the back of the room and had a great conversation. He is a very nice guy....when you actually get some one on one time with him it's easy to see that he as a very good heart. Thanks for all the advice Robert and I took it to heart and you were rite....raising a family and being just a normal everyday guy is a great gig too! God Bless you my friend❤️

[@flyingnorseman]

1990, summer at the pool, tripping my brains out to the Cure. I will never, ever forget this band. They truly changed my perception of the world.

[@fando2054]

One of the best songs they have ever produced. The lyrics are intense and fragile. This song is a masterpiece. Deserves a place in the top 200 of the world's best songs ever.

[@deedies1]

That cute little chin dimple and his smile is what keeps me going ! God I love him so much ! 💞💟

[@greenshereen]

Love is what makes him beautiful. His love for his wife, his family, music, his fans! The body is a veil over the truth. It only CONTAINS us but can never fully convey who we are. The one inside who is behind the expression. He’s got that all down: the energy field he resonates, the inflections in his voice, the childlike glee and playfulness, the witty and irreverent sense of humor, the depth of his gaze that make his eyes pierce and sparkle at the same time... best of all that way he reflects what there is to love about ourselves right back at us. That’s what makes him HOTTER than the sun !!!☀️🔥

[@deedies1]

Thank you for those words as i feel the same as you in respect to Robert Smith!!!💗🧡💚💙

[@greenshereen]

Diane Greene It takes a special sort of someone to see all that he has to offer!

[@suzye7197]

Robert is beautiful inside and out, at any age, at any size. He has the voice and face of an angel; at any age, at any size. I would LOVE to give him a long, tight hug🤗

[@TanyasEtherealFootsteps]

100%

[@greenmonkey3298]

Just saw the Cure tonight - in Perth Australia! Magic - Robert is a legend :-)

[@TanyasEtherealFootsteps]

Sounds like an amazing show, Catherine!

[@Simon-pl2zi]

did they play All Cats Are Grey?

[@deedies1]

The ponytail,the earrings he always wore,the smile,the chin dimple and shyness is fabulous as his makeup he never goes without it is all perfect to me

[@cynthianovoselsky3592]

I have been a Cure fan since I was 13 yrs old I never noticed that they r such perfectionist!

[@cynthianovoselsky3592]

Just thinking too much and I am thankful for the cure

[@TanyasEtherealFootsteps]

Same. I've been a fan for a long time, too and didn't know how perfectionistic Robert was until seeing them live. It's why they've been so successful.

[@janiquevaillot8554]

Agree with you. A true fan of The CURE since I was a young teenager ! July the 4th I still do listen to their haunting sound and their masterpieces ! Timeless band ! Friendly from France

[@mattdrummond9087]

Robert is magic. Just magic.... amazing talent.

[@deedies1]

So sweet,.so talented. So beautiful and shyness is a wonderful thing .I LOVE ROBERT SMITH SO MUCH...WHAT A MAN TO HAVE IN MY LIFE !!!💚💙💗🎵

[@ralphlazio505]

Absolutely love how he’s engaging his fans.

[@sophiaelizabella]

This song utterly makes my heart ache. It always brings me back to the most perfect, blissful time in my life ... Anything seemed possible then. This song is like home... I love Robert's cute, awkward moments in the beginning.... Uggggg...

[@mikeireland7388]

The man's a genius

[@MSDavis-sh9ky]

Beautiful forever! The magic has took me out of many DARK places to a lighter sense of love. Im 36 and been a fan since 86 sitting watching MTV before what it is now. I was only 5 but I wanted to be him. Love always.

[@bjj1028]

“It can never be the same” But his voice will always stay as it was the first time he sang.

[@PabloACosq]

The most expressive face EVER, melting people with the blink of an eye.

[@grant72]

Absorbing the crowd always a pleasure cheers Robert

[@mrsmillovesmakeup]

I saw them a month ago in MD, but seeing them in Hawaii would be the ultimate. I lived there when I was a kid and my husband is from Maui. I should've told my in laws to go to the show!

[@sarahbeau60]

Beautiful magical ethereal..Robert I love you

[@SavBear-025]

I love how he interacts with the crowd and when he smiles it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside!! So adorable and such a creative and hardworking individual. He’s a rare soul and this song makes me feel emotions I have no explanation for but I want to cry. I hope I can see him live one day if he keeps touring💕

[@deedies1]

Very well said, love Robert Smith so much

[@thunder_heads]

The cure are still going strong

[@micahcamp2013]

Still gives me chills.. every time I’ve heard this song, since the very first time.. Robert Smith... Wow, this Man is the embodiment of the confident expression of emotion..❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@davidc9724]

My father has just died at 72 and was huge fan of the Cure. He enjoyed this song very much. I will play it at the beginning of his funeral in his memory 🙏🏼

[@TanyasEtherealFootsteps]

I'm sorry, David that you've lost your father. Robert Smith has also gone through a lot of loss in the past few years, lost his mom, dad, and brother. I think playing Plainsong will be a great way to honor your father! I'm sure he will be dancing in spirit. Look for signs from him and pay attention to your dreams. I'm certain he will be doing his best to get through to you.

[@garyeaton6172]

Ain't he just awesome what legend

[@evacostelloe4479]

Have to always admire Robert Smith not only for the bands longevity, but the man sounds the exact same as he does back in the day. There's no getting the audience to sing the song he's consistent as fuck. Seeing them play tomorrow in Dublin, can't wait

[@joseca7509]

IDOL, i wonder what was he thinking.

[@enriquemoon]

Living legends! Feel happy/sad listening to this masterpiece.

[@inesa4954]

He's incredible.

[@marialane1805]

I love him! What a beautiful person!

[@anare123456]

[@SardineTown]

He's so beautiful. 🖤 I'm so hopelessly in love with him arrrrhhhh

[@tColorsinspacerecordings]

Crushes me every time. It’s almost like the first time I ever heard it live. So much nostalgia when I hear this.

[@ogirdor7142]

With time some of their songs turn into something epic. It takes me somewhere wher all fight in a battle against time and death.

[@frankalfar]

The Cure made the dark warm, the light dark and always give you a strange feeling of emotion and foreboding but like I said always w a tinge of light.

[@TanyasEtherealFootsteps]

Well said, Frank!

[@janiquevaillot8554]

This lovely song still moves me. Catch my heart and my soul. One of their masterpieces ! Thanks a lot for being who you are Robert Smith and The CURE !

[@Dawn-zo2ny]

Robert Smith/ The Cure, are my Soul, if that makes any sense...i feel like my Soul wants to be like him so much...was always my favorite band and always will be...but it saddens me that he looks so old...i wish he would take better care of himself...when he dies, that will probably be just about the saddest day of my life...he is the most beautiful man ever...

[@kash7585]

Beautiful sounds only Robert Smith can make. His voice can make time travel possible. I’m 16 again. Just like that.

[@ReefTales]

So intense, so sincere... This song is my favorite, can't help but crying each time I listen ito it, for it is soo beautiful and full of emotions, but with these images of Robert it's even higher, I love the way he's sharing with the audience, he's showing so much generosity and feelings in his looks and words.Thank you too Tanya for the sharing of this beautiful moment, how lucky you are to have seen the band lately :)

[@chriss2295]

Saw them 1986. Seeing Robert reminds me just how long ago that was. Still, when I here that voice...Takes me back. Back like it was yesterday. Beautiful.

[@steezysilver]

Hahahah I love it when he looks at the crowd, almost smiles then decided to make a biting motion😂😂😂

[@TanyasEtherealFootsteps]

Yes, Annika, he's a character. There's nobody like Robert Smith.

[@steezysilver]

+Tanya's Ethereal Footsteps True! I'm lucky to have gone one of their concerts a couple months ago. I believe at one point I think he may have said "You know I don't smile!" It was hilarious

[@dynamicphotography_]

A lot of good feels in these comments. I love it. You guys rule.

[@chrislees5399]

The happy look on his face just made my day. Love this band and ALL their music, but seeing him smile ! :)

[@Teralolo]

WoW😍😍 Amazing Video quality. My heart was pounding & I was hold my breath. It felt like I was there. Same feeling I get when I see them live with my naked eye. Long exhale. Seen them 8 times.

[@G0K3001]

I still come back to this... I believe at last he is truly enjoying his fame. He understands his music is still reaching to many young and old. He realizes this and and it touches him especially his fans from the beginning.
