#BandLabNMEAwards2022 #CHVRCHES #RobertSmith
Imagine being in a band and being huge Cure fans. Then one day you ask Robert Smith to contribute on one of your songs and he says yes. Not only that but he later says yes to performing the same song live with your band at the NME Awards show. Then imagine that you are on stage with Robert performing the song. It really must have been just like heaven for the members of CHVRCHES. I'm happy for them. The song is great and deserves to win an award which it did.
Это действительно очень круто!
They’re sooo lucky😔😔 I wish I had a beautiful voice maybe I’ll have a chance then
"Just like heaven" I see what you did there ;)
Hear! Hear!
@@iancolthart6676 😄
Robert, please save us all. We need your music to go through all this.
Ok
So, no pressure then
Amen!
not long to wait, The Cure's new album is incoming very soon... then World Tour. Happy days.
Yeah..
How is Robert smiths voice still so incredible. Hasn’t lost a single fraction of a step
Es cierto.
I seen an interview where he said he just doesn't push himself, as in, as little touring as possible over the years & when he no longer feels young & excited about music, he'll quit. (It's not perfect, but, it's something to that effect)
Because unlike most aged rockers he takes care of himself. He doesn’t do drugs, he doesn’t smoke. Those are 2 keys to keeping your voice. I think he really only drinks red wine now in moderation.
Because he is beyond amazing & clearly gifted. The epitome of a natural born musician.
Oh my GOD this is bone chilling good.
yes. sofa king amazing
Brilliant isnt it.
💯
Robert's voice has never been stronger than right now. Can't wait for "Songs of a Lost World" !!
Robert's voice Is Like a wine!
Keep waiting 😂
Still waiting...
@@armandoarrojo9841 ALMOST!!
The time has come
Robert Smith, please, never die!
Ok
I will literally die if he does!
........& Taxes!
Like the rest of us, I am sure he doesn't want too
never ever ever
Sounds better than the studio version.
Definitivamente... 😃
Overproduction kills good songs. This is great. She can't sing though...
Beatle #9 come on. Her voice is perfectly suited to their style. People used to say the same thing about Robert (can’t sing)
@@spaceengineer1452 her voices is literally great… what
@@PlopstoperGames Ordinary.
everything Robert Smith touches turns into gold. And no one fucking knows how the hell he does it.
because he make music from his heart!!
@@dek86sSPOT ON.
Robert's eye flutter at her high note cracks me up. Love the combination of these 2 amazing powerhouses.
that eye flutter was one of the moments ... there were a couple others during the performance, where just a flash of the youthful Robert came through .... gave me a bit of the feels.
@@SonomaBill1this very on point and descriptive comment gave me chills
Chvrches needs an album produced by Robert
Incredible song, long live Robert Smith.
Robert + Lauren = Total perfection
Their voices just fit together, like yin and yang. So beautiful. It would be the coolest thing if they could tour together
Not really.
I’d be more thrilled if they collaborated a 4 track EP together. Aside from their voices, I feel their writing is also a Yin Yang balance between modern artists and classic which makes this song kind of nostaligic imo. I kind of felt I heard it before even though its only recent.
I have tickets for the DC show !
It would be cool if they were openers for the next tour
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA , LOOKS LIKE YOURE YOUNG PEOPLE , NO MORE GOOD TASTE ON MUSIC , THIS GIRL JUST CAN'T SING , JUST SCREAM. , THAT DOESNT MEAN SHE IS SINGING
That pick slide at 2:40
I think Robert was genuinely enjoying himself here
You know he wouldn't be there otherwise.
He's obviously a fan.
Best Smith's collaboration with a younger band, along with "Not in love" by Crystal castles
Can’t stop listening to this masterpiece.
#same This particular live version is even better than the single. 🔥
I remember hearing this song traveling in my car and flipping through the channels and hearing Lauren's voice which made me immediately stop scrolling and then....Robert Smith? You KNOW this distinctive voice....I almost crashed grabbing my phone and begging Bixby (Samsungs assistant) "What is the name of this song" and literally thinking "No way! The Cure has a new album!!" and then getting upset thinking "How did you not know about this!!??" .....Glad I found this band and glad that Robert is still relevant and active on the music scenes and getting airplay here in the States!
Robert Smiths voice sounds so young and matching to Lauren Mayberrys. He is 63 in this concert and the whole song sounds like a cure song from the Kiss Me album.
I cry like a baby whenever I hear this song. It's like a great story that unfolds in your mind and hits you hard
I know,it doesn't make any sense.He's in his sixties and his voice is still so clear and youthful.Still has that emotion and expression that gets me every time.
Both voices compliment each other so well. Simply gorgeous
“THE CURE” saved my life….. 29years ago and ever since. I never imagined anyone able to sing by his side and shine as bright as he does…. But this girl…. Wow! 1st few lines I was like…. Wat. No way, not with Robert Smith…. The more she sang the more captivated by her voice I became…. Goosebumps!
Her stage presence …. A really good fit. Both quirky, and so unique, found each other, collaborating together. Congrats ✌️
the crowd were absolutely shite to appreciate such a great performance by these 2 bands...
Amazing song, Robert Smith is the best and I cannot believe people in first line instead enjoyed the performance, is Robert Smith in person and they rather to see him throught their phones, I cannot believe that
You'd hope they weren't original goths
I showed this song to my mom, she's 54 and I'm 28. She said "the song is really good." Well, now that I think of it, this song is a connection between decades, when you simply can listen with your parents that are huge fans of The Cure, and me, as a huge fan of CHVRCHES. If this isn't amazing, what is it? Music is eternal, it's about connection. Btw, the chords of this song gives me chills and this live version is even better than the studio one!
I'm 52. It is my favorite modern band with my favorite "back in the day" band. I had no idea what I was about to hear the first time it came on the radio. It brought tears and chills when I heard Robert Smith's voice come in.
@@indylar duuude, that’s amazing!
I´m 55 and love both The Cure and Chvrches.
This has a really “cure”-like guitar line and I like it a lot. Never heard the original yet so don’t know how much is Robert Smith’s contribution or whether he was driven to the song because it sounds like his band.
He co-wrote it with them and everywhere he sang here he does on the studio track.
Smith doesnt play guitar on the studio recording. Theyre just huge fans of the Cure and a great band.
@@HerveBoisde I think Martin said he did contribute guitar because it was clear to Robert they were just using The Cure sound and he offered to just give them the real thing.
Hung Nguyen are you sure? I heard he only contributed vocals
Hung Nguyen if you watch the video when the band stops playing and Robert sings the slow part of the song the guy on the right side of the stage starts playing that guitar part you hear on the studio recording with a Fender Jazzmaster guitar. That’s the guitar Robert used on Seventeen Seconds.
Robert adds in good old cure quality in the end
Robert you're fucking legend!
Been a Cure fan for 35 years, what a banger of a tune.
My ears couldn't be happier than they are right now.
robert smith has been cool for decades.
The GOTHFATHER & his Scottish Princes. BOSS! If I had this on a cassette single it would be worn out in 1 hour.
If this song was meant to fit into a The Cure´s album, this would be Disintegration. The sound is as sorrowfully and deliciously daunting as that of said album.
Lauren looking at Robert like ❤️ - in a respectful way
She is thinking .. Oh my God that really is Robert Smith. #legend
Love how the song ends with Lauren chilling or drowning in the tunes of Smith's guitar.
Churces did it again , they effortlessly shift from one genre to another . Love Lauren voice and it matches perfectly with Robert Smith’s. I saw him live 40 years ago or so . Touring with Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees and later many times with The Cure . Distant memories but wow this rolled back not just tears but decades !!
I love the epic contrast between Robert and Lauren's accent (eg when the both say down!) - amazing collaboration and Martin and Iain are in dreamland 😁
Honestly it’s perfect.
Fucking amazing.
This song is so much Cure, I guess that's what it makes very very good, also the final part,last seconds, has half drum pattern in "if only tonight we could sleep" style
Omg obsessed with this! Robert Smith is just amazing… been a massive Cure fan for a longtime. Love this
Robert Smith and his new Cure Album are incredible. Nice to see him help young talents.
Imagine if Siouxsie and Robert had been able to put aside their egos and sing together in their prime. Damn. It would have been epic beyond belief for us fans! What an era. This collaboration here, this song is absolutely unreal. This song is so powerful. Just beautiful.
Instrumentals. Voices. Arrangement. The best live.
First time seeing this as a live set! I am an artist and this is so moving that I am in tears.
Even better than the single because Robert sings AND plays. That haunting guitar sound is still like nothing else.
This is a beautiful union of two unique artists painting different timeless paintings that somehow interweave to make something spectacular. I hope to hear more of this expanding different collaborations.
Robert Smith, el último gran ícono.
The emotion is his voice... ❤
Such great vocal improvements from Lauren!!!! The overall performance sounds awesome
"Timeless, a peak to remember "once upon a time" in music history
These new songs resonate on an epic level. It's like rediscovering them all over again. I am filled with so many different emotions all at the same time.
This is the essence of why I love live music. The Chvrches and Robert Smith on this iconic song blending two of my favorite artists!
Robert Smith. The man has a heart made of gold, wish we had have more of these...❤
Realmente Robert Smith
Es un genio
Su voz es única e inigualable
de verdad
Sin la pinta de siempre no tendria la misma voz de siempre...
Salame
@@alejandroy.l.4115 Salame atroz
Genio!!!
This is absolutely beautiful.
This is a great version.. Love the massive snare drum sound and the guitar sound is just brilliant too.
Thank you Lauren, Thank you Lain, Thank you Martin, Thank you Robert Smith, Thank you CHVRCHES!
I listen to this every day, such a fantastic song, fantastic performed live, Thank you all! LOVE YOU ♥
I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
And if the words float up to the surface
I'll keep them down
This is the first time, I know
I don't want the crown
You can take it now
You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string
Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat
Told me to sing
That was the first time I knew
You can't kill the king
And those who kiss the ring
Tell me how
It's better when the sun goes down
We'll never escape this town
I wasn't scared when he caught me
Look what it taught me
Tell me how
It's better if I make no sound
I will never escape these doubts
I wasn't dead when they found me
Watch as they pull me down
I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up
On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love
That was the first time I knew
They were out for blood
And they would have your guts
Tell me how
It's better when the sun goes down
We'll never escape this town
I wasn't scared when he caught me
Look what it taught me
Tell me how
It's better if I make no sound
I will never escape these doubts
I wasn't dead when they found me
Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Pulling me down
Dead when they found me
Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Watch as they pull me down
Pulling me down
Dead when they found me
Watch as they pull me down
I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown
And if the words float up to the surface
I'll keep them down
This is the first time I know
I don't want the crown
You can take it now
You can take it now
Take it now
I love Robert Smith !!!!!!!!!
What a performance ! Robert Smith is so powerful and everything we need in those times!
The world needs desperately for a new Cure album.
Still waiting.
Robert Smith will save the world. ❤
Robert Smith voice incredible
I love this womans unique vocals and such a good band plus Robert Smith a legend
I'm so happy we get to see Robert again!!! Timeless talent! 💜 Also the song is KICKASS. One of the best I've heard in a while!
THE CURE SOUND
They sound so good together. A great song too.
This song is a Masterpiece!
Robert Smith has the Fibonacci sequence on his guitar!
That was magical! I'd love to see CHVRCHES and The Cure tour together.
Fibonacci sequence 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Robert Smith is the fucking GOAT
Lauren & Robert the best singing duo of this decade! #ThankYouRobert #ThankYouLauren
Their voices blend together so well
Musical history you are withnesing!!! Robert and Laureen, The Cure - CHVRCHES. Your generation and mine, my dejar dougther 😔🤗
J'adore cette version live, Lauren et Robert sont excellents. Un duo exceptionnel. Merci Chvrches.
I saw The Cure live in Hong Kong in 2007 - and they played for 3 hours non stop - amazing!
I have been there too..... and in other concerts too. They always play st least 2.5 hrs
What A Beautiful Song. Great Performance.
Father giving his blessing to his children
Robert sounds amazing. Greetings from polish fans. See You in Lodz/Cracow
Robert and Lauren are an amazing combination!!!
Love me some CHVRCHES man, can't get enough of them. So glad they came away with a win, they deserve it. They should have won BBITW as well, but I'm kinda bias so I'd be a bad judge.
Masterpiece.
Beautiful. I have 35 years as a Cure fan. Powerful Chvrches. This is SO great !!! 👏👏👏😃👍
Rock royalty has entered the room.
I really love the end when Robert is playing.
YESSSS FINALLY THE OFFICIAL 🙌🏻
this song is KILLER - the soft part at the end with the last verse almost whispered by RS is superlative...
Interesting thing about this, they didn't actually think that Robert Smith would agree at first to help out. Initial they were looking for a simple collaboration or possible tour guest. They were actually pretty surprised when Robert Smith agreed to help them out.
At least from what was said in a recent interview
Superb title and interpretation with the sublime Robert Smith and Lauren Mayberry. CHVRCHES an awesome band thank you for your continued music.
Everytime at 4:09 I get goosebumps ❤️
Robert Smith un maestro universal todo un ejemplo de saber estar los años hacen mejorar la calidad viva ese personaje oscuro y humano Robert eterno mil gracias por tu música💥❤️
Roberth Es un GENIO 👍 influencia para Millones de personas y Músicos.
The Cure 🎶🎵🎹🎸 también cambio mi Vida
Robert Smith going strong in 2022!!!
Incredible emotions from the track, fascinating voice, melody.
Love this song. For me the best song released last year, so its most definately deserved winning best song, but I can’t stop wonder how on earth this song didn’t even make it into the top 75 in the UK????? Sick world we live in 😔
i wasnt even aware of it last year and i like ti think im bit of a chvches fan , as soon as i heard this for the first time goose bumps everywhere ! what a song!
his voice FITS PERFECTLY in this song
Mr. Smith, the unmistakable voice...one of the kindest men in the business... and a true artist...does not follow fashion or musical movements...doesn't mix politics or ideologies with his music and lets the fans be what they want to be...everyone is welcome in Cure's world.
Me encanta, Robert Smith es un dios 😍😍😍❤💯 como siempre creando maravillas
Justamente!!!
This is one of those epic performances that we’ll still be watching in 10+ yrs time
If only tonight we could sleep!
