i also how she doesn't over-sing. Too many young women over-sing to the point that they're caterwauling. I've never been a big Cure fan, but she brings out the beauty in this song.
This is how a cover should be done. Took the song, gave it respect, but added your own artistic twist to it. One of my favorite songs and you nailed it.
I kept playing this song over and over, and it got to the point where I realized that it would be only decent of me to buy the song from you two. I ended up buying the album on iTunes, and I'm happy I did, all the songs are fantastic. Thanks! :)
I think he brings out the best in them. He knows what song would work best with their voice. Love his arraignments. I listened to one of his singers on their channel. They were much better on Josh’s channel. Like they say on the TV voice competitions: you have to pick the right song and know who you are as an artist. He knows!
Been a fan of The Cure for over 30 years & seen them live headlining Glastonbury on three occasions & can honestly say this is a superb cover, top work guys..👍
Brings tears to my eyes...just found a photo of myself with my first cure t-shirt in a photo from wayback. Brings back memories from times when I was really happy, times when you want them to last for ever. I wish I could bring them back. Beautiful version, thanks guys...and lovely voice and not over sung, no vocal gymnastics. Respect
Haha. OMG Josh. How did I miss this for the last 7 years?!?! So so so seriously good. Your guitar playing just never fails to absolutely floor me. And this is 7 years ago!!!!!! I hate you.
This video got me back into playing guitar and working on my fingerpicking. I've always loved that percussive thumb slap when it's blended perfectly with fingerpicking, and you do it so well, it lead me down a rabbit hole of guitar how to videos and my playings really improved over the last several months. Thanks for the inspiration. Always love how you're exploring different styles of music.
@@superbesperia I am going full speed (triple speed) I am sure I put in 3hrs a day practice. I am 66 and about 15 months in. I think I have another 4 years to advance then it is stay stable a few years, then the decline comes.
The Cure, wow!! Takes me back to the 80s, my favorite years and the best music ever. You're amazing and your singing partner, wow, made the song just as good as the Cure.
That's absolutely fantastic! I'm a Cure-Fan since my early youth. I'd tears in my eyes. Today is Robert's birthday so I looked for cover versions cause I want to play one and post it on Facebook. Though I'll never reach such a polished playing like yours. Thank you for this great cover. Many greetings from Germany.
Amazing yet again you two this song was in my teenage years One of my fave tracks from The Cure It is good to see the younger generation Thank you for covering this The Cure is my ultimate band
Wonderful. Larkin, you have one of The Voices of your time, a real voice, not the screeching vocal gymnastics of television. Remember Josh is the Cash of his time, he only works with the best. Well done both.
I love searching you tube for my favorite songs and then discovering others interpretations. You two made a great song even greater! Thanks for making me smile... :)
A group of my friends performed a slow version of this in 2008, ever since this song was buried in my memory. Love this rendition and wish I discovered this earlier !
Larkin you just have a beautiful strong, heavenly - blissful voice, remember norah jones, amazing, and josh.... wtf.... amazing talent... in this song... incredible perform...
Insane playing Josh! I like the “live” sound you were able to engender right before she sings in the second stanza. Excellent production quality, too. The microphone lighting clothes room setting volume level everything is so polished. It can’t get better than this.
“That was alright?!” Jesus, that was just about perfect. Lovely vocals with excellent accompaniment by Josh. I’ve seen lots of chord inversions, but this was resplendent!
Very nice eh? They have album as well... www.amazon.com/Josh-Larkin/dp/B00ISK4GMW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394721554&sr=8-1&keywords=mp3+josh+%26+larkin
I loved it!!! Her sweet voice and your guitar playing.... wow... clean acoustic struming.. and you throw hints ur voice for bk ups...made my day...you both sound great and never forget that it is the best cover of jLH for my me.....bless and much protection pon your life life journey
Just accidentally ran into your stuff and I'm LOVING it. Listened to almost all of your vid's. You're amazing on the guitar and Larkin's voice is simply addicting. Cheers from Israel (you should come to visit sometimes)
I Come back to listen to this and the guitar arrangement is brilliant combined with the lovely voice. This is the best version on single guitar on you tube. Keep them coming.👍
What I love about Josh, Reina and the various artists around them in various videos is that is it is all about the music. Not obsessed with fashion like every new pop act is. These guys look comfortable performing / shooting in whatever they happen to be wearing that day. Like me. This is a trip back to the 60's and how people were around music.
I love how she doesn't over-sing. Seems so natural, so beautiful, so stunning. And Josh - your guitar playing blows my mind.
My sentiments exactly. I love the swing!
precisely!!
Agree...i can't stand how most people these days sing every cover like Beyonce singing the Star Spangled Banner.
i also how she doesn't over-sing. Too many young women over-sing to the point that they're caterwauling. I've never been a big Cure fan, but she brings out the beauty in this song.
Yes doesn’t over sing.. natural.
This acoustic guitar arrangement is fantastic. Seriously, well done!
That girl has an absolutely amazing voice. Very nice to listen to.
RUclips has clearly dropped the ball if it's been 7 years and I'm just watching this now. Nicely done Josh & Larkin.
10 years here, f***kers...
This is how a cover should be done. Took the song, gave it respect, but added your own artistic twist to it. One of my favorite songs and you nailed it.
I come back to this video about once every two or three months - so much talent and so much restraint - truly young artists
I kept playing this song over and over, and it got to the point where I realized that it would be only decent of me to buy the song from you two. I ended up buying the album on iTunes, and I'm happy I did, all the songs are fantastic. Thanks! :)
Which album has this on it?
A Mayers I think it’s called “Josh & Larkin” by “Josh & Larkin”
@@peter_draws Should buy it on vinyl
Wonderful.
Josh continually finds people who perfectly complement his talent.
He has an engineers' ear
The men of guitar doesn't got talent
I think he brings out the best in them. He knows what song would work best with their voice. Love his arraignments. I listened to one of his singers on their channel. They were much better on Josh’s channel. Like they say on the TV voice competitions: you have to pick the right song and know who you are as an artist. He knows!
So happy there are still people who can do this, just talent and music and nothing else. Beautiful.
I just love how young generation picks up on this song. Well done. The ageless, one and only THE CURE ❤
This guitar playing is truly world class. And the vocal delivery is also amazing.
Been a fan of The Cure for over 30 years & seen them live headlining Glastonbury on three occasions & can honestly say this is a superb cover, top work guys..👍
Larkin's voice is like a warm feeling permeating my soul when I listen. Thanks Josh, Larkin and all the rest of your crew. You guys are amazing!
I would love to see Larkin in a guest appearance again; seems like it's been forever!
Brings tears to my eyes...just found a photo of myself with my first cure t-shirt in a photo from wayback.

Some of the finest music on youtube is right here on your channel Josh....wonderful:)
agreed
Wish Larkin still sang with him. Her voice and his guitar playing was worth millions.
I’m always amazed people can play guitar. Sometimes I think it is truly a God give talent you are born with.
It's the girl with the amazing voice again! Nice duo, and great guitar playing (no surprise there!)
This was the favorite song of every girl I loved back in the 80s. Thank you.
Huge fan of Josh. Wish Larkin did more she has an amazing voice and presence.
Fantastic performance !!

I think I'm at the start of the same journey. I love getting out of a guitar rutt lmao

Beautiful she has a beautiful voice.
Nice to see teenagers appreciate the cure
Well that was... Just like heaven! So great to hear young people playing the old tunes.
That's absolutely fantastic! I'm a Cure-Fan since my early youth. I'd tears in my eyes. Today is Robert's birthday so I looked for cover versions cause I want to play one and post it on Facebook.

What a lovely voice… and fantastic guitar!
This is quite simply astonishing!
Larkin's voice is incomparable. So perfect.
Well done kids - Robert Smith and his mates would love hearing this cover of their song!
Josh is awesome...out of this world 🎸🎸🎸🎵🎵🎵
Work of art. Thanks Kids
One o f the Best Covers of this great Song, !!! Sweet Voice from the Girl and beautiful Guitar from the Guy ... I loved it .. !!!
I love this! Man, can he play! And I love her voice. I would run away with her any day!
every time i listen to this i'm blown away. singing and guitar, both.
Her voice is suttle yet strong, and his playing is pretty flawless. Great cover.
i love the confidence of both on the start of the video and absolute nailing it after
Great licks..man..and singing..
Am so happy that my 80' s songs survived with the young..s...
I never get tired of their collabs.
One of the greatest cover on RUclips
:D
Its really good but look up the song by AFI the video is on your
Another great song performed brilliantly. That was lovely.👍
match made in heaven those two.
What this cover does is not only transform a classic but give it a tenderness unlike the original. Josh captures that sweetness in his fluid fretwork.
I think I've already watched this 10 times... tonight. Thank you for the best cover I've seen of my favorite song!
Her voice is absolutely amazing and the guitar is beautiful
This guitar work is incredible 👏 And the vocals are so gentle and dreamy yet quietly powerful. Lovely
More elegant than my description would be yet so on point
you guys are sublime, divine and proof yet there's hope for this planet! thank you!
Immense talent. Wow that was fantastic! Great job to you both.
Gotta love The Cure! Excellent Cover!

This cover gives me goosebumps every time. Larkin's voice is so beautiful. Josh&Larkin you rock!
Thank you kids for bringing me back to my youth, it was a good memory...

Yay!! Josh and Larkin...together again!

Josh Turner for president!!
Wow. Just wow. How lovely.

Gives me chills every time I listen to it! Absolutely wonderful!
Larkin you just have a beautiful strong, heavenly - blissful voice, remember norah jones, amazing, and josh.... wtf.... amazing talent... in this song... incredible perform...
The best cover of this song.
Insane playing Josh! I like the “live” sound you were able to engender right before she sings in the second stanza. Excellent production quality, too. The microphone lighting clothes room setting volume level everything is so polished. It can’t get better than this.
Always recognize the pure talent in this cover, never get old!
Sweet voice. Really cool guitar work. I enjoyed the whole performance.
Great performance. Brings back good memories of my hs days!
The girl has talent! Great singing!
“That was alright?!” Jesus, that was just about perfect. Lovely vocals with excellent accompaniment by Josh. I’ve seen lots of chord inversions, but this was resplendent!
Half of the views are mine. I'm addicted. Beautiful stuff !
Beautiful rendition. These two kids are great.
Beautiful playing and singing
Beautiful song, beautifully played, beautifully sung. Enough said.
Greatness. Thank-you!
What a great find, Victor Henderson! At first I thought, _so?Just a couple of kids in a living room_. Then he gets going. Then *she* gets going. Bam!
Very nice eh? They have album as well... www.amazon.com/Josh-Larkin/dp/B00ISK4GMW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394721554&sr=8-1&keywords=mp3+josh+%26+larkin

Wow, as a The Cure fan, I must say this is a great rendition!
Super awesome guitar playing and beautiful vocals/harmonies🎸🎹⭐️
You are incredible. So very nice to be able to listen to you, thanks for this upload.

Larkin really shines in this one
Robert, this is a beautiful tribute to your friendship with such a kindred spirit.

Very, Very, Very great Interpretation from this absolutely cool - The Cure Kultsong, Thank You, I love It ...
Absolutely love this to bits. The first line was so magical.
Show me, show me~
Josh guitar impressive after all these years ,, first time I watched this take .. friends voice stunning
Love this. Guitar playing is top notch. Wish I knew the technique he uses to do the percussive hits without interrupting the bass notes and melody.
I Come back to listen to this and the guitar arrangement is brilliant combined with the lovely voice. This is the best version on single guitar on you tube. Keep them coming.👍
Please put this on Amazon music and Spotify
What I love about Josh, Reina and the various artists around them in various

like every new pop act is. These guys look comfortable performing /
shooting in whatever they happen to be wearing that day. Like me. This

Wouldn't be a Josh Turner video if there wasnt a "yeah that sounded okay"
Love this rendition..♥️
Larkin - What a pretty name for a pretty gal who can sing beautifully. 🎶🎵🎻🎸🎤
That was the best cover of any song ever. PERIOD.
This cover...is just like heaven. 🥰
Absolutely nailed it... one of my favourite songs is now one of my favourite covers!!!!
