Ty Reacts To THE CURE "THE KISS"

[@warrickcoe5576]

Takes me back to a time and a place and people long since forgotten. Thanks for that

[@david_post_punk]

I'm 23 yrs old and a huge Cure fan, i feel the dad , i bet he just loves how Robert sounds , his vocals aren't accessible to everybody, how he sounds for me is one of the factors I'm a Cure fan

[@reactionextraction]

Agreed, Robert Smith has a vibe with his voice that I've always liked! When I was 23 The Cure were at the top of my playlist, well always in my car CD player since we had no playlist yet, Ha.......a total unique sound and always were awesome & legit legends to me! Totally Love them 😎😎 Love UK Bands !!

[@david_post_punk]

@@reactionextraction i appreciate u're love to them, but I'd choose different playlist for your son , I'd start with lovesong , then close to me, push ,a forest, I'd show him live performances of early cure , they're style and unmistakable playing we're top notch

[@DJSuma]

Agreed!!! This song here moves me the same way it moved me the very first time I heard it!!! Powerful powerful song …. Very inspirational

[@robertlanier2235]

The Cure at their most melancholy to me is their song The Funeral Party. It's one of my favorite songs of theirs.

[@giulioricci1119]

The text is inspired by a poem by Charles Baudelaire, "The Vampire". The piece is fantastic, a demonic hard-rock supported by the most thrilling solo in the history of rock music. The guitar apex of Robert Smith.

[@alantitus]

Great song. Everyone always does the singles. Nice to see a reaction to their darker, serious side. Also the vocals are perfect!

[@reactionextraction]

Agreed, one of my fav album intro Tunes Ever 😎😎

[@simonarcher1510]

It is worth mentioning that "The Kiss" is the opening track to a 17 track double album. It's long intro is a slow burn that likely takes people a few listens to fully grasp. It's full of love, and it's full of hate, and everything in between. I always think of it as a close cousin of "Give Me It" from The Top. A truly magnificent album opener, and for the 1997 Kissing Tour, concert opener.

[@holgerschink1341]

The opening song into a fascinating, brilliant album. Love it until today.

[@lightdarklight5562]

Great track great album... But I would have to say the darkest was The Cures 1982 release Pornography by far.... Check out the track A Short-Term Effect...

[@williamwilkes9873]

Brilliant live............

[@nikolaiquack8548]

As a fan of The Cure I actually wouldn't say this is one of their melancholic songs. I'd put Pictures of You or Letters to Elise in that category. This is more so them being grimy and dark, with a harder rock sound. My go to description for this song has always been: A couple of guitars have sex with each other. I also respectfully disagree with Ty. Maybe the song didn't necessarily need it, but I love Robert's vocals on this. Obviously he's not the greatest singer, but he brings across the torn up emotions of the song so well!

[@reactionextraction]

Great comments & killer analogy , I love the way Robert sings in the tune as well !!😎

[@sveincjohannessen1770]

The kiss stand out. Only Seventeen seconds can compare. In my opinion, luckily there are many :)

[@edwardlosty549]

I love The Cure, but it’s very rare that I got into a song first time, it all made sense with multiple listens. If I had a skip button available I might never have had the patience.

[@reactionextraction]

Skip button, what is that, Ha ..... For me it was more like fast forward, rewind and turn the cassette tape over :) I love the Cure as well 😎😎

[@beathebee1523]

Totally agree intact there are some cute songs I’ve only become obsessed with now after 30 + yrs as a cure fan like faith and cold

[@iainweller452]

You really should do “A Forest” it’s one of their best 🖤

[@reactionextraction]

Rad tune 😎

[@mariflame1821]

I love Rober Smith's singing...its different and emotional like Kate Bush. Not a favorite Cure song but yes, good instrumentation. He might like "The Forest" better.

[@reactionextraction]

I agree, Robert Smith's voice is a treasure 😎😎

[@simonarcher1510]

*"A Forest"

[@shannonbennett987]

I always thought this sounded like it was about a rape. Very powerful music.

[@reactionextraction]

Very Powerful, Cure at their best on a truly Classic Album 😎😎!

[@shannonbennett987]

@@reactionextraction Next, you should turn him on to the song Disintegration. For me, musically its one of their best. That bass line, damn!

[@rediscoveryrecords1348]

Give the kid some coffee before a review. Zzzz

[@reactionextraction]

I know right, college kid - always tired and hungry, ha 😎😎

[@robertbrenneman5367]

I think he’s sick 😷

[@jemxs]

Good song, hope this was the cure to Ty's cold!! My favourite is Close to Me!

[@reactionextraction]

Nice One, ha. ..... and "close to me" is a total classic indeed !! 😎

[@ollythorp5428]

The son always looks so bored. Just play him some Taylor Swift and be done with it. He obviously doesn't appreciate decent music. I'm afraid you're fighting a losing battle there 😮
