- This is me playing a cover of an unreleased song by @thecure from their forthcoming album, learned by way of a live bootleg, to join in the fun for their #thecureacoustichits covers wall.
The song is called ‘Alone’ (or at least that’s what the internet says), and, when I saw them open with this at their most recent concert in Birmingham, I was pretty much immediately in tears. Whenever it is that they decide to put this album out, it will surely be worth the wait.
Some special mentions on the equipment and plug-ins side of things…
@empress_effects Echo System in Left/Right mode adding so much beauty and richness to the vocal drone on my Yamaha VSS-200 (loads to explore with this pedal, it’s phenomenal)
The trusty @redpandalab Particle creating the granular delights for the dictaphone piano parts.
My Oktava MK319 proving an ever brilliant choice for vocals (although, I must admit, the spill into the piano mics here means this isn’t representative of how good it sounds in isolation…bad engineering, me…)
The vocal delay is the @audiothing and @hainbach101 Moon Echo, fed into the D-16 from my slate bundle for some width. Such a cool (and FREE!) effect, great work folks.
This is…sort of ropey…but I really wanted to do it. The only way to get better at things is to finish stuff off, put it out, and be on with the next thing.
So, back to work. This has been a fun palate cleanser.
Well done man! And congrats Robert posted you on his Twitter, quite the achievement 👏
I'm here from Robert's post.
Absolutely beautiful
I need to sit down and realise what I just listened to...an absolute masterpiece of a coversong..
Here courtesy of Robert Smith, Hauntingly amazing performance
This has actually brought me to tears. Such a beautiful, passionate performance. I'm hooked on the original, but this version breaks it down to a rawness that just draws you in to the wonderful vocal performance. Bravo sir.
I'm here from Robert's share. What an honor to be shared by Robert Smith.
Incredible. So beautiful that Robert Smith himself has shared it. So wonderful
Wow. I’m a lifelong Cure fan and love the song a lot, but wow that was amazing. Absolutely stunning.
te han superado robert🥳

Woah, I’m not surprised Robert liked this. Similar real emotion and passion as per my favourite band❤
Just the most sublime version ❤
Abdolutely beautiful! It is the best Cure cover I have ever listened to. Simply amazing, so thank you!!
Awesome , thanks , very great job ^^ the cure forever
This is brilliant
Goosebumps all over❤😢! Thank you for this beautiful interpretation... 👍
This sends shivers down my spine. A masterpiece.
I don't usually like Cure covers where the singer tries to sound like the Cure. But this piano ballad version takes it to another level. When a song is so good that Adele could make a hit out of it, you just know the writer/composer is a genius and a talent. And that would be Robert Smith. If he decides to sing no more, I hope he writes music and lyrics for others to share.
Robert brought me here !

Thanks dude. We'd best get to work on some more of those tunes soon huh?!
It's a disintegration era sound but, you added some really modern sensibilities to it. It's really beautiful.
Nice❤
Bravissimo!
Jeebuz Charlie, way to make everybody cry 🙄
one of my funeral song.
Wowl that is beautiful. Actually more emotional than the original 😮
Huge Cure fan. I can’t say that I like this more than the original, but it’s a close second for sure. Bravo!
Praise indeed! 😎
Fugue!
Original version sounds artificial beside yours. The core of the song is here and nowhere else. Robert Smith should have opened the album (piano-singing), a few effects, and left each instrument perform one after the other. In this way, instead of making a Plainsong-bis (with this long instrumental intro), the song would’ve ended up on a strong note (tutti), in response to intimate emerging. My deepest respect, Mr. Charlie Barnes. It's like crystal. Even the hard-hearted can be moved to tears.
Are you nuts?
You must be a troll 🧌
Blah blah blah... Robert Smith is Robert Smith, end of story. This version is very nice and all, but if you listen closely, the vocals here are kind of generic...
@@villavide Robert Smith is Robert Smith ? What the hell ! I thought he was Sean Penn in "This Must Be the Place" or Edward Scissorhands. Joking aside (unless, of course, you want to erect a statue of), do you really need to hold of the opportunity to showcase his talent, his career ? I'm just talking about "Alone", the song's arrangement, the final mix. And if the artist's research is based on work that aims to rid himself of automatic reactions in order to get to essence, in a word, if Robert Smith had sought to avoid the trap of déjà vu, "Alone" would have maybe gained in depth and in authenticity. Obviously, this is only my little opinion.
The cool thing is that Bob will do an instrumental version in a few years. I wouldn't change a thing about the original version, but i do believe this dude has a lovely voice. It's a lot of fun to play songs from our favorite artists.
Great cover!
