Of all the interviews, this one really stands out. Thank you. Having the opportunity to hear Bob talk for hours lately has NOT been redundant in the least, but rather what I've hoped for since seeing them in all their freak show 80s, at age 10. Truly part of my blood at this point.
Thank you - will listen to this later on when things are less fraught. Thanks for all your hard work this year - one of the best Cure pages on You Tube.
This is a great interview. Robert is really intelligent and articulate in his words …. When he speaks, we should all sit up and listen! Also, he’s very humble. I like that!
What a pity Simon dislikes playing The Same Deep Water. It's probably my favorite song of theirs. The first time I saw the cure live, they played it live in one of the encores; I was so surprised and thrilled because they hardly ever play it. And I remember their version had this beautiful guitar melody/line which almost sounded like a piano, and I hadn't heard it before and couldn't figure out who was playing it. Then I watched a video of the performance and found out it was Simon playing the bass just beautifully, with a bassline you can't hear on the Disintegration album. How I wish they played this song more often, so we can hear his beautiful bass with good sound quality.
@djmillhaus that's fair, you might be right. I felt like they talked over him an awful lot though, that annoyed me. I suppose since I don't listen to podcasts I wouldn't know how they work though. And maybe they're not much to my liking apparently.
I think this interview is one of the most personal and engaging ones ever with Robert Smith. To even say this is an interview might be incorrect. It is more like a discussion and reflection of painful events in their lives.Daniel really went deep with this conversation. I am looking forward to buying 'Songs of a Lost World.'
"Where the Birds Always Sing" is my favorite song off of Bloodflowers. So while it may not be anyone's all time favorite song by The Cure (which is also probably not the case) I think being a standout track from a good album is really quite a lot. 🙂
My favorite song by The Cure is "The Same Deep Water as You;" and seeing it live was the highlight of my point of all of the times I have been fortunate enough to see The Cure play out.
Ok. So help me understand how this album was produced because I'm confused! Robert composed the entire thing alone? So the rest of the band just showed up in the studio and played what Robert put in front of them? Don't get me wrong but this must be a very difficult time for everyone else in the band to be in Robert's glow right now. Maybe feeling like it isn't something they were really a part of. Just played for The RS Band?
Not at all. I think all the band appreciate that RS does all the press because they , on the whole, truly don't want to do it at all . As for composition, we have had recent interview regarding RS and Jason getting the drum sound , RS and Simon with bass stuff, Reeves with colour, Roger with mood so .....
I'm not sure if there was any of the usual Cure demo process (everyone works on things, then gets together over some drinks and plays/votes on the demos) but Robert has always seemed to want input and ideas but has also referred to the band as a "lopsided democracy", which I think is understandable - at the end of the day, someone has to have the vision and the final say. It does seem like this album is a bit more of Robert's own musical sensibilities.
I suppose it's always been a bit of a one-man-band. But Robert cherishes and aknowledges his mates support and contrinutions. It's just that the creative input and the final say is Robert's and the band is fine, they know. I think this album in particular ,along with Close to me, is solely Robert's, and it turned out to be a f.....g masterpiece!

Excellent interview. Thank you. And thank you, Robert- for all the music over the years. You've been the soundtrack of our lives.
Great interview.
I can listen to Prayer for Rain and Same Deep Waters on repeat forever.
I can listen to Robert speak all day. Thank you for this interview.
Thanks again (and again and again and again and again and again and again!!)

Robert's singing is stunning.The music is wonderful but when Robert's voice enters it always floors my jaw !

A great interview, "To Wish Impossible Things" is one of my favorite cure songs!😁
Great interviewer. I can tell Robert was comfortable. Those people on the Sidetracked podcast wouldn't let him speak. This is much better.
but Sidetracked wasn't an interview, was it? I thought they did their usual podcast with having Robert joined in?
@djmillhaus that's fair, you might be right. I felt like they talked over him an awful lot though, that annoyed me. I suppose since I don't listen to podcasts I wouldn't know how they work though. And maybe they're not much to my liking apparently.
Totally agree. Awful podcast, he was so uncomfortable.
I thought they were respectful on sidetracked, just a different environment. I hear what you're saying though.
To be fair though that wasn't an interview. The idea there was he was supposed to be a guest co-host and just join in the chat.
I'd love to ask Robert Smith what he thinks of the super-early Cure song "I Want to Be Old" now that he's, well, old.
This was a fantastic interview. Love the insight
Thank you so much for this interview! I always appreciate Robert's insights.
Cannot thank you enough, ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊thanks for sharing awesome 😊😊😊
Thank you!

Great interview
I've heard a few times Robert mention he quite likes Yes. The first three Yes albums are genuinely really good.
He's a good lad.

Plus RS always says, I wouldn't write unless I have something to write about, so it's his words, his themes, his vision ...

What a voice though.
The last album is pure crap.👎🤮
