The Cure and Robert Smith have the ability to tell a story, to create a feeling, to bring you emotionally and, in some songs like this, physically into their music like few if any can do today. Their brilliance shines in the simplistic melodies they use. And that is not a put down. It's more of an appreciation of how great they are by being able to create such intense feelings with such precision and ease. They really are musical and lyrical royalty.

[@amerishape]

The origin of the band name "The Cure" has been explained by the band's frontman, Robert Smith, in various interviews over the years. According to Smith, the name "The Cure" was chosen when the band was still in its early stages, and it was meant to be a contrast to the more aggressive and confrontational names that many punk bands were adopting at the time. Robert Smith wanted a name that conveyed a positive and hopeful message. The idea was that the music of the band would serve as a kind of cure for the ills and negativity that people might be experiencing. It was a deliberate choice to have a name that suggested a remedy or solution, and it has become an iconic name in the world of alternative and post-punk music.

[@tobby3977]

I was looking for a comment which would relate to that !

[@treefingers6572]

To me it feels overtly about sleep paralysis. The video only strengthens that. The sensation that you're pinned down, unable to move, even breath right sometimes, while the horrors your mind conjurs up, created in a feedback loop as a panic response by the brain to being paralyzed, play with you and do whatever they can to terrify you. I've had sleep paralysis episodes many times, and while they've been less frightening lately because I know what they are and immediately get to work on trying to move my toes or fingers to get out of it, while reminding myself whatever I see or hear isn't real (that can still be tough to maintain though, your mind is wild with how it will play tricks on you), in the past, when they first started happening to me: they were sheer terror. Seeing someone peeking over the foot of my bed with shining, inhuman eyes and smiling, seeing a ghost-like face tower over the corner of my room and glaring at me, and when I'd shut my eyes and try to get out of it like a dream, demonic growls in my ears, rapid, violent footsteps banging from down the hall up to my door followed by manic knocking on my door, voices calling my name that sound familiar but just slightly off... The worst one I ever had, I'm not even sure if it wasn't just a full-blown dream, but it was so vivid and real-feeling, I remember thinking "Oh my god ghosts and demons are actually real and I'm gonna fucking die to one" when it happened. Sleeping in my apartment in a queen sized bed, TV across from me, just like real life, which is what has me convinced that it wasn't just a dream, but the most elaborate sleep paralysis episode ever: It's pretty simple, I don't remember exactly what happened leading up to the big moment, but there I am laying in bed, realizing "something" is in the room with me and I can't move. Suddenly, low, booming rumbling, like a bad earthquake entirely situated in my room, but nothing is visually shaking, shit's just booming and rumbling like something is building up. Suddenly, I feel myself being dragged by my feet across the foot of the bed, and can literally see it as my body flies across the room, above the TV just below the high-ish ceiling, and whatever force it is pulling and lifting me slams my body against the wall above the TV, and just pins me there long enough to have that thought and feel the fear of no control, of being the plaything of something unthinkable- and suddenly I'm back in my bed. I shot up a bit, startled by the experience, breathing heavy and generally freaked out for a minute before I finally convinced myself that this is real, that wasn't. Still though, to this day I don't know if that was sleep paralysis or a vivid nightmare that accurately recreated my room and made me feel truly awake. Anyway, i think the giant spider consuming Robert whole at the end of the video is the biggest part that drives home that this is about sleep paralysis.

[@no_you_hang_up]

I always thought it was about sexual abuse, how children are visited by abusers in the middle of the night. The freeze response typical for trauma. And the “don’t struggle or I will only love you more” as the kind of f***ed up thing an abuser would say.

@@andream6532 I would love too but my mom probably wouldn't let me. I'm not over 18 yet and she doesn't like the music I listen to so I doubt she would want to go with me. Hopefully when I'm older though, I'm almost 18 so maybe, just maybe. (that's if they're still touring)

How can it have been ahead of its time, if ninety percent of the music now is trite rubbish? It was in and of its own time which was a better one musically speaking than today.

[@Villiago]

***** if you read my comment, you will see, after a cursory glance, that I said ninety percent of today's music is trite rubbish which leaves a sizeable percentage for music of quality. Would you argue that Just 'in' Beaver, I mean Justin Bieber is good!? How could such music in anyway, shape or form be called an evolution of diatonic harmony? Incidentally, please keep your subjective impressions of me to yourself, I am probably the least 'nostalgic guy' you are ever likely to meet! Best wishes Villiago.

That's bullshit, if you're listening to mainstream radio/watching MTV then yes, you're going to get generic shit.

Glass Animals, Citizen, Wolf Alice, EDEN, The 1975*, Tremonti, Blues Pills, Stephen just to name a few in diverse genres (* Don't go for the obvious singles like Chocolate, The Sound or Girls, though they're also good, I'd recommend checking out Pressure, Me & The City)

I'm the only one who thinks that The Cure has the greatest melodies ever? My god, that guitar riff might not be tricky or super complex but it totally works, is incredible, it almost sounds like unpredictble, I mean, when you start listening the riff you expect some other notes to be played, like "oh it's just another typical melody that it goes like this others". I know it might sound really stupid I just wanna know if someone shares my opinion xd (Sorry for bad spelling, english's not my mother tongue)
