I'm a bassist. This is my favorite Cure song. I never knew it was two basses.
Yup - they play it with a bass, a Bass VI and guitar live (depending on the lineup) - but this was two P basses on the Album, written on a Bass VI (but Robert couldn't make the bass behave in the lower register so switched to the P Bass).
I just discovered that today!! Wow!!
que mau gosto amigo
Wait till you hear Disintegration…
@@Teacherinasubie the song High has 3 basses.
I dated a goth girl in the mid to late 80's and she got me hooked on The Cure. We were very different and I was into rock/metal and mainstream pop music. I was so glad she did. We did not last long together, only months, but I still love this band and many of their songs to this day. I am a 50 year old UK male.
Same thing happened to me, and it started out with Oingo Boingo...from there I found so many on my own including The Cure.
Yes
@@jaydenp4975 Hot girls always get you into the Cure. First girl I have known with a Tatoo and a piercing, introduced me to The Cure a long time ago. Kiss me Kiss me was a new record. I think that is one of reasons for their sucess, plus they are a A1 Banging Post Punk Band, who make the rest of them except Joy Division look like jokes.
It would have been a sin to be from the UK and not know The Cure
Agree with Alfredo.. it was a hot girl that got me hooked in the 80’s
You can really appreciate a BASS player here, I mean Simon is sweating his blush off, it's all just f#$king fabulous.
Amanda Smith lol that is so cute how you stated, "Simon is sweating his blush off"!
actually two bass players here. Robert and Simon
Bad Ass, I've been listening for years and never realized two bass guitars until I just saw this video now.
Very gifted musicians.
+Recordgrooves often a bass-VI and a bass
Yeah, pretty much the cures signature sound, the Fender Bass IV. You can see Simon playing one in the fascination street film clip. Although it's almost always Robert that plays it on the albums / live.
One of the great bassline driven singles of the era. No doubt about it.
Murderous then, and murderous now.
Great music is timeless. It simply lives forever...
Bass is killer....
@@dickyboyryw hello Richie yes i love this band His amazing one if one if the best artist on the world i never listen tout a musicien like that before he has sex appeal like like tottaly awsome
Thats why I like the Stranglers
Exactly!!! The enhanced bass lines are just awesome not only here but on the whole album
He is so handsome here
I AGREEEEEE!!!!!
What makes this song unique to me are the two basses. They create a very unique sound that fits the mood perfectly.
Bass is insane, soul disturbingly good.
pozzzdro🎸
Ce que fait cette chanson parfait c'est Robert Smith et Simon Gallup
I know and I saw that myself thank you I know I'm not the only person in the world that knows this and I'm a girl by the way hey Love The Cure live on!
I never knew they had two bassists - I'd guess it was on a song-by-song basis. Incredible song, incredible voice, incredible band.
Best Bass performance in a song ever. My ears never forget,
Ray Lehto jerry was a racecar driver
+Ray Lehto The Cure's music has some of the most epic bass lines, including this one.
Fascination Street falls into that category.
Ray Lehto Good but definitely not the best
A FOREST,,,,,say no more.
My favourite from them. What a brillant bass!
Two bass and a drummer, and all the noise they make, they are the best banda ever, true rock'n rollers.
Agreed - except I'd say it's sound rather than noise!
@@louisedomenech I don't think so, there is 2 basses, I don't know if the Robert's bass is an Fender precision bass like in this video, maybe a bass VI, but there is 2 basses in this song :)
@@HeyBulldog-Beatles-Tribute actually it was. The sound engineer gave Robert a bass VI the he used to write the song with but as he states in an interview, the low E had a buzz or a humming noise. He ended up using a Fender P to record. They just used some compression and flange effects
@@seanhughes2815 Thanks for this precisions ;) where do you read this kind of studio stories about The Cure? :)
@@HeyBulldog-Beatles-Tributethere’s at least two songs with three basses in them by The Cure. High and Letter to Elise - both feature dual Bass VI’s and Simon on his 4 string.
This is my favorite Cure song. There are so many great ones but this one just resonates with me deeply for some reason. Love it!
It's one of the few that I have heard that is upbeat. I included it on my Work Out playlist. It really is a good song.
It’s the bassssss broooo
I think is the best Cure song as well, it's weird that it isn't included on the best of album. Very few songs make me want to pick up a Bass and learn it, but this one does it.
I just discovered it and 🤯🤯🤯... Fucking amazing!!! 🌟✊🥰🥳🥰🌟✊🕺✨🕺✨
It is my favorite as well. Good day!
It's only 38 years old. Holy shit, where has my life gone?
❤️
Valeu
Valeu
I ask myself the same question!
Then you better learn bass guitar boy!! NOW... do it now!
I love The Cure.
i love the disease
Santiago Marín 7 in
Santiago Marín yuupp
I mean, you don’t really have to say it (just look at your profile picture)
Well....yea!!!!’
The bass is holding down the rhythm while the other bass is playing lead simply brilliant love the cure always have
The further we go, and older we grow, the more we know, the less we show....
Lodreipeina . For 30 years I've never known those lyrics til now. For that I thank you!
it's illegal to use a legal name
kateofgaia.wordpress.com
WE GO.
WE GROW.
WE KNOW.
WE SHOW.
This is one of my favourite lyrics of his. It's so simple but it highlights so much about the way people interact with each other and adapt to the world.
I just wrote something about what you noticed: "the more we know, the less we show"... Brilliant, what you say ! The question is "why does it turn so ?" I think: because we're more afraid of our cops, our employers, our "justice of lawyers" than of the worst bandit ever." And I like to add: it was much more beautiful, when we showed more !
Fantastic song. I love this period of Cure more dark and goth. Simply the best!
Silvia Grandi agreed. Didn’t really care to much for their stuff after it became commercialized main stream popular.
That's probably due to living in Crawley lol. I live there too and it's really such a dull and uninteresting place. Most people here are depressed honestly, myself included. Seeing them as big as they are gives me hope
Not anything Goth at all. Not one bit. This is POP MUSIC.
@@clvrswine really? Have u listened to a drowning man or The funeral party
@@david_post_punk All Cats Are Grey looks like a funeral song in a fog graveyard.
This band changed my life
Loved The Cure in the 80s, went to see them in the concert, enjoyed them in new wave clubs that we visited and just in the car. That was great era in music and entertainment in general and the Cure was at the top of that list for us. Great and timeless music.
The Cure is my cure for anxiety and depression always..🤩💋
Oooh yes i agree, they’re the appropriate Cure for all the diseases of our mind , body and soul, I’m sure and certain!🙏🙏🙏⚡️💕
This song never gets old.... EVER!
Agree 💯
Nobody can play a Rock Song without a Guitar!
Robert: Hold my beer...
This is pretty bad.
Linus de Vries hahaha, and what a song
There's guitar in the song tho
@@ThatGuyMofo There is only bass and drums.
A rock song doesn’t even need to have guitar to be considered one.
The innocence of sleeping children
Dressed in white
And slowly dreaming
Stops all time
Slow my steps and start to blur
So many years have filled my heart
I never thought I'd say those words
The further we go
And older we grow
The more we know ...
The less we show ...
The very first time I saw your face
I thought of a song
And quickly changed the tune
The very first time I touched your skin
I thought of a story
And rushed to reach the end
Too soon
Oh remember
Please
Don't change
So the fall came
Thirteen years
A shiny ring
And how I could forget your name
The air no longer in my throat
Another perfect lie is choked
But it always feels the same
So they close together
Dressed in red and yellow
Innocent forever
Sleeping children in their blue soft rooms
Still dream
The further we go
And older we grow
The more we know ...
Love
You are going to heaven
Absolument
why is this song not on their "Greatest HIts" album..... I fricking love it!!!!🕺🕺
@@RobbSoul I’m staying here on the middle earth
Love The CURE since I was a teenager. In 2023 I'm 57 years old and I still do love the sound of The CURE !
And so you should it never gets old
One of the masterpieces of The Cure ❤
This is by far the best song of The Cure... in my opinion.
Your not alone.
I can listen to this all day! Man I miss the 80s
This song and Aforest are the reason why I learnt to play the Bass...best music ever...
Me too. Simon is the quintessential post punk bass player. He's really cool to his fans on FB.
Have you heard cliff burtons anaesthesia ( pulling teeth) by metallica… might not be your thing but i think y’d admire it
Robert looks amazing in this video! Wow!!
This is such a highly underrated song.
Lehlila Devandria was a massive hit
Gareth de-Witt not really

This and "A Forest". Brilliant......just brilliant.
Not a forest. this is primary, on the album faith.

Thanks a lot for the lyrics. Love this song. Love Rob Smith. The CURE went in Hall of Fame. Now in 2023 it's a timeless band. Friendly from France
Anyone listening in 2020?
cheers from Alaska!
Yep, it’s me. Cheers from Kazakhstan. Borat’s homeplace
Cheers from Straya 🇦🇺 2020
Montreal. They must be miming, isn't that what they do in music videos
actually im listening in 1543
The Cure= REAL TALENT AND CREATIVITY! Their style of Rock is "my style of rock." "Before Indie Rock (which I am also a fan of), there was the Cure." Bottom Line, this Band has never ever EVER, let me down. They are that great and I will always be impressed by them!
One of the most important bands of all time...
The 80's were an incredible time for music, The Cure one of the best. Even in Siouxsie and the Banshees he stood out. So glad he formed his own band!
My favorite The Cure song................. greetings of Perú..
most beautiful human being i've ever seen.
or Bowie 1978
One of the best highway driving songs of all time.

Always and forever thank you to Great Britain, the British people and their creativity for giving the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as The Cure and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere.
What would our lives have been without British bands?
Amazing Song, i love the bass performance
The bass as rhythm guitar in this song is genius.
As someone who lived through the 80s I am still in awe of the quality of the stuff the British produced. It is really incredible and I’m the number 1 fan of all those bands forever. That said, America had its moments. Pixies and Violent Femmes just to name two. And to name two more, Devo and Rem. Let’s not forget Appetite for Destruction came out in 87 and Metallica was rocking it hard. Different music, but the British also had the madmen of Iron Maiden, to name one band, chalking one up for metal. I’m more of a Joy Division, Cure, Clash and New Wave Punk in general guy myself. House of Love, Book of Love. That kind of thing.
I took so much speed in the 1980s listening to these bands, both live and on my Walkman. The perfect punk drug.
The great thing about learning about the popular bands that you mentioned is that they are all amazing in their own right, but the more you delve into their sound, you discover other similar talented artists and bands. These bands present a gateway of musical treasures.
Masterpiece. It's one of my favourite of THE CURE.
The only thing that keeps this song from being perfect is that it's not 10 minutes long
try the the 12" remix, it's not 10 minutes, but close
One of my favorite Cure tracks
WOW! Double Bass!!
Seen them performing this live on their Faith tour at Newcastle City Hall in 1981.
I've still got the massive concert poster advertising the gig. Classic!
The song that introduced me to the 80s. No other song is more iconic.
Yeap, their stylings were OG , if u know what i mean
Vamos a Tocache! 🔥🔥🔥
Not only one of the best Cure Songs, but top of the 1980's list. This was Staple on KROQ and all the Punks loved it too. Great Song!
Remember when KROQ was good? When Rodney wasn't a joke? I'm an old now. I think I will listen to X, Boingo and Cure all damn day.
Love "Jeddum Fishem" Poor Man, Richard Blade...I was at the concert with them for the Depeche Mode 101 album at the Rose Bowl. It was Thomas Dolby, OMD, Wire, then Depeche. No other station could ever compare to KROQ "rock of the 80's"
hackman55able This song hit KROQ right before I had to.leave Long Beach for the Navy and the late night Dj was kind enough to tell me it was The Cure
YEP, this is one of their best songs....along with PLAY FOR TODAY and A FOREST
@@rebjiii 100% agree
this was a great little single. fantastic basslines as per usual.
Hard to believe that this is 35 years ago...WOW!
As fresh today as it was back then
Fergal Freeman the video is from 1987 though
Thanks, yep, was talking about the song and not the video, but thanks for the info.
That is either a typo or when the rights to this video were bought/established. KissMeKissMeKissMe was 1987. By that time it was Robert,Simon,Lol,Boris,Porl and Roger.He was way into his trademark look by then.=)
amers83 the video was released in 1987 as a part of Standing on a beach / Staring at the sea compilation
This was the absolute perfection in everyway
The music, the lyrics, the aesthetic and Robert was insanly gorgeous, a pure beauty from the essence's youth
2 bass guitars, fantastic
It brings back so many memories. I'm proud of being a the Cure Fan since the old days! I love the Cure and I'll always will.
The Cure made friggin awesome videos too!! Even in all of their Eighties-ness, they all still hold-up very well!!!
Masterpiece, oh the good old days 👌👌🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
They are great, always. Practically every song they do is pretty much epic.
One of the greatest bands on earth.
I am an American and I am embarrassed to say this, but the British have much better "taste" in music than Americans. Joy Division, New Order and the Cure should be absolute superstars in the U.S.
+Marc Domicello its not embarassing tho, its a fact
Joy Division is New Order and we Americans do love them
New Order is Joy Division 2.
2.0*
I've always felt the same. The music preference here in the states is just horrid. Europe is really good at capturing gloom and punk to make their post punk. It's fucking art.
"Faith" and "Seventeen Seconds" have always been my best loved albums by The Cure . I really like the style of robert smith playing guitar.
Mine too. Three imaginary boys added on those two
That killer bass!!!!
im a mexican and i love the cure soo much
These are the words written in 1981. Amost 40 years ago:
"Further we go
And older we grow
The more we know
The less we show"
So contemporary, isn't it?
I like how one can see the progression of Robert Smith’s makeup journey in this video.
I see the Cure. I hit like. This song is so killer
Dont drive while listening to this....the foot gets heavy!
Saxon it really does I go almost 160 on the freeway every time I hear this killer song 😂
@@anthonymartinez30 its that bass just relentless lol
That's not an excelorator, that's a reverb pedal!!🎛️🎸🔊
can confirm
Primary and A Forest are the two top tracks of The Cure indeed....I have asked for A Forest to be played at my funeral
The sheer perfection of this UTTER classic may only EVER be attempted... Good LUCK with THAT... I can still remember when this was first released (unleashed?) all those DECADES ago... Now - as then - just WWWWWWWOW... 🙇
2022. Still do love the haunting sound and deep lyrics of this unic and Timeless band ! Robert Smith & Simon Gallup always take my breath away ! And I love it !
Grazie ragazzi!!siete grandi!!!!
this song is so basic but so magnific its one of my favourits of the cure
Awesome! Serious contender for 10 best rock songs of all time! By all means kick off your shoes and dance to this!
One of my three favorite Cure singles.
Perhaps The Cures finest moment... Amazing song! 😃
37 yrs ago,...and it still feels like I just heard it for the first time in 1983 in my older friends room,... Drinking&Dreaming of the future
The further we go, and older we grow, the more we know, and less we show ! Young Robert Smith was such "lucide" A great man & such a beautiful soul ! Love him forever
Way before their time. Always have loved their music. ❤️ 🎼
i love his eyes
Happy 40th birthday.
Happy 2021
🎉🎊
1 van de beste van The Cure. Lijkt op The Forest! Heerlijk!

Ffs hate when people post crap like this. Loads of stuff out today just look
Ignore this comment
There's ALWAYS this dumb comment in every classic music video on RUclips. As much as I love and grew up with this stuff, there's always A LOT of good music around. You just have to look harder.
This was my first introduction to the Cure, hooked ever since
Me too
Russian rock bands of 80-90ths took a lof from The Cure. Some of them even developed the style and moved far ahead. Brilliant music, thanks Robert!
Do you have any recommendations?
I remember one Russian Band called Amnesty, a trio, sounding much like the Cure, around 1990.

There were great clubs in my hometown Thessaloniki Greece and songs by Cure was always on the record players.
They are so young and basass as always !!! Love Robert
Love the pace of this song!!Robert Smith is amazing
SLive in 1980 at Hammersmith Palladium is still one of the best Punk gigig I’ve been to in over 40 years.
Simon on bass is killing it
One of the best songs of all time....love it.
So young!!!
This song along with Pictures of you seem to defy the test of time as they drift into the stratosphere and echo through are souls, i was lucky to have seen them live as tears ran down my face when they played this song knowing i was in a special place and time, and every time I try to pick it like falling sand as fast as i pick it up it runs away through my clutching hands and theres nothing else i can really do at all. Long line the Cure.
I love the Cure since I was seventeen. They shaped my life.
I love The Cure since i was fiveteen . they shapde my life too
same! they cured my chronic depression
They were the soundtrack to my coming of age. I was 15 when this came out and the world was opening up. Great memories.
@@rosiemuffins3033 this is why they're called "The Cure" ;)
Me too that awesome. Since I was 11. I still remember when I heard the opening of Kiss Me The Kiss It blew me away
Brings back so many memories. I love their sound.
This is how I prefer to play bass. A simple driving groove with power.
