This is one of those songs i can listen to again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again....
Yeah mate. I'm sure your arms will feel it for the rest of your life, mine do. I'm sure we've both done some crazy things... Better world for it though, you gave to so many who appreciate it. UK will never forget. Best wishes to you either way, respect, you played awesome.
It's 2024 and this song has NOT aged. In fact, if you don't watch the videos and just listen to anything in The Cure's catalogue you cannot know when these songs were released. That is how good they are. In fact if you listen to the Cure now and listen to Robert Smith sing "A Forest" live, he sounds almost exactly same as he did 40+ years ago and possibly BETTER. Cheers from NYC!!
The year 2024 is speaking here. It still is and always has been The Cure's hottest song. There are many other songs but this one is outstanding. I will never forget the 80s and the beginning of the 90s... it was an amazing time. Puberty, slowly growing up (if you did at all). The rebelliousness you felt inside. You just didn't know exactly what or who you were rebelling against at the beginning. When I close my eyes to this song, I'm back in those moments, which makes this song so amazingly real. It's so cool how this song brings back so many memories. Smoky discos, the smell of teen spirit (literally, not because of the Nirvana song). A bottle of beer in hand and everyone doing the same Cure-style dance. Along with the Sisters of Mercy, The Cure helped me through every depression, relationship drama, stress, heartbreak and all that other fucked up shit. And now, all these decades later, not much has changed. Ok, you've gotten older, the problems and worries are perhaps of a different nature, but they're somehow the same, just from a different perspective or in a different way. The Cure is literally the cure for such situations. Growing up sucks sometimes.
Oh Sisters of Mercy are a favourite!!! I went into a record shop in Bendigo Australia in 1991 and heard this amazing music over the shop speakers. It was Sisters of Mercy! I fell in love in that shop with their music. And they had to order it in for me from the UK. Still have it. Wish I hade seen The Cure when I had the chance 😢 I’m a bit older than you, AC/DC and Alice Cooper were my teen angst music. But in a good way. I was extremely rebellious and my mum was on Valium because of my behaviour but never crime or drugs. And I actually ended up working for the police here for 15 years. I turned out ok, in spite of my mother thinking I’d end up in prison. 🤣 This performance of this song is fricking amazing to this day!!!!
Cierto!! Está música. ACDC, the cure y muchos más en realidad eran una terapia sanatoria, una catarsis. Hoy en día aún las escucho para evadirme y disfrutar@@karenglenn6707
Hahaha it just keeps getting better! I’m so glad that this album was the only album I had on my iPad as a kid. It was all I’d listen to on road trips and it has blessed me with good music taste.

@@dominique578 yo los tenía en Lp y ahora los estoy comprando en CD, porque también los escucho con mi hijo de 16 años. Tengo 52 años y los escucho desde que tenía 14...❤
So great,I see them. in 1987 in Berlin.I‘m 55 years old but when I hear this I feel like I‘m 21 again.....and again and again and again....So gorgeous🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍!!!!!!
Whos still obsessed and listening in 2024 because therr is a complete lack and emotion in so many singers that cant deliver a concept as purr as this !!!
nah, i’ll be honest, as much as i love the cure, i think you’re just looking in the wrong spots. there are plenty of artists today that perform with this much passion, or carry this much passion in their work. some may not fit your tastes, and that’s okay, but they’re definitely out there.
Basse à 6 cordes. John Deacon de QUEEN était doué avec ses basses 4 cordes mais là, Simon Gallup déchire grave avec ses basses 6 cordes. Il est génial !
I gotta say this was one of the best live versions they ever did. Saw them in ‘’87 and ‘93 (twice). Plan on seeing them in ‘23 but this time I’m taking my 14 yo son. Gotta train the kid right! Cheers Cure fans!
Cure to this day. 1st show in DC. 84. Lived in London after. Twin daughters now 21. Their background is Cure based. Thanks for sharing. Another note, Cure helped and publicised a band from Seven Sisters that i saw live multiple times. Same genre. 84-87? Any knowledge or feedback appreciated.
No, but close. They played a 20 minute long rendition at their Xmas '87 Kiss Me tour gig at Wembley Arena that I went to, half that was a guitar solo by Robert - absolutely magic. Almost 30 years ago now, sheesh!
I've seen them live 20 times, in 6 different cities. This is the best performance ever and that tour was the best I've seen too. The Cure forever and ever.
@@ekklesiast yes,exactly,almost every live version is better for me,but this one,subjective, is the best one in any kind of form.,fkin amazing.greetz :-)
@@danielbliss8014 they kinda did - the version on mixed up was a re-recording inspired by their live performances because the masters were lost. Also - I fucking saw this version live and it still sticks with me to this day. It was amazing.
The Cure Live in Concert album released 1984? ...It has the best version for it's pure serious gothic vocals and non of these girly swooning stuff. ..I stopped listening to the Cure way back in 1989..
Bowie agreed..........only he named them "eccentric",...............l wonder why..........check out his 50th,. birthday gig..........you'll like it.........
I thank you for replying..............l don't speak the way print comes.........it is true on dvd and reality............,..he also quit at the bar when people started arguing over songs.......l don't blame him............luck & stay safe...........
A qualification.................nice, polite, argumentative, brilliant, stupid........cos they have many forests to venture into.........nice week.,.,.,.......
+yallow rosa he used to do also love will tears apart as a tribute in a forest,, i did it in a concert for a girl, friend of mine, in the party of her 18 birthday party,,,it was 1989...
+yallow rosa I recall Bernhard Sumner from Joy Division / New Order actually complaining in an interview he was fed up with having his work ripped off by Robert Smith. The Upstairs Room was pretty much a New Order rip off.
Again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again...and again
This version is amazing. The Cure at the top of their game, playing one of their absolute best songs. And nice little touch of Joy Division toward the end! 🤘
Come closer and see See into the trees Find the girl While you can Come closer and see See into the dark Just follow your eyes Just follow your eyes I hear her voice Calling my name The sound is deep In the dark I hear her voice And start to run Into the trees Into the trees Into the trees Suddenly I stop But I know it's too late I'm lost in a forest All alone The girl was never there It's always the same I'm running towards nothing Again and again and again and again... She said "could you take me home tonight? It's the only way I know. " She said "could you take me home tonight? There's no other way I know. " She said "you know the way you used to do." "Of course I'll take you home." "You know the way you used to do." "Of course I'll take you home." This kiss could cost my life. Is all you see in her eyes. This kiss could cost my life. Is all you see in her eyes. It's all you see in her eyes. She said "Take my hand, take me home." She said "Take my hand, take me home. Take me home. Take me home.
Don't normally like long versions of songs, but this one is perfect. The longer it goes, the more it expands. It's awesome. The Forest is a great song to start with.
My favourite extended version of this song is the one they performed during the show I attended at the Gorge on the Wild Mood Swings tour. It was a little different from this one, where they jammed out the outro section of the song for what felt like several minutes. What I wouldn't give for someone out there to have a recording of that version to upload onto RUclips or wherever! One of the best experiences of my life.
Don't forget the others........forty years is pretty long..........l agree, completely.............'though watch page/Thompson live, on lullaby.........
If you love the cure, and you have access to London, try Camden market..........word of mouth.....,..underneath the bridge..........after lockdown.........to be absolutely honest.. ..stay safe and well........
Watch for every little iota...........,amongst the expected...........few l think would've seen plant singing lullaby......he is astonishing.......,.but the weirdness lies with Robert Smith......as does the song.........take a look...........suss it............
And again..........but seriously dig out the music from albums and films...........a lot..........try treasure,,,,,,,,,,,,,bare...........whatever,............so much,..............
I absolutely agree......,...but please spread your net wider..........."Bare", may be their best ever........some may say "disintegration",.........l suppose it depends on wild, mood swings,.........we all have.,.......,.only remember.,,..........there is so much choice...........a nice day or evening, wherever you are..........x..................!
For real though. Im in my 40s , autistic, now disabled, ptsd from a bad childhood. Lost half my family by the age of 25. Almost died in the Twin Towers. I wouldn't still be here today after all the shit Ive been through if I hadn't discovered this song in my teens. Peace out and keep fighting my friemds

This may seem odd........in England literally now, the govt., has sent out census forms to us all........as an example of how to complete it they use a few imaginary names.......hence Robert & Mary Smith.........this remark is pretty pointless......,..odd but true........sorry, to waste your time.........nice day......!
I feel so old saying this, but I grew up with this music, and I think it has staying power. Thirty years later and I can still listen to this and think it sounds modern and relevant and beautiful.
I agree only got into Cure about 10 years ago (my early thirties) but so glad I did, no mucking about with glamour and distractions just ace atmospheric songs and performed great live.
Same here, have been listening to them since high-school years. Had always wanted to play their music live and finally found myself in a pretty decent Cure tribute band after many years. :)
At 61 and a huge 80s music fan, particularly alternative...DM, TFF, NO, TT, DD, U2, B52s, INXS, etc.....The Cure was always on my periphery, I sorta liked some of their songs but never bought an album....shame on me.....3 weeks ago I listened to Disintegration....the album..for the first time....holy shit what an album! At the same time I stumbled across A Forest, the 2019 live version.....loved it! Today I watched this version......sublime.....35 years late...I’m a Cure fan....forgive me Robert.
@@johnperkins4611 That's the 1981 version at the Werchter festival. Robert Palmer was up next, and they told them to get off, so they kept playing (and the song ends with the infamous F Robert Palmer, F Rock and Roll from Simon). That is what started the extended versions of the song - but the've had other songs they would do this with. The unreleased song All Mine was an extended jam that changed every time they played it.
Magical moment in 1992. The greatest version of this masterpiece "A Forest " ever ! More haunting sound than ever. The CURE and Robert Smith at the top of his art ! Respects
I saw this live in Sacramento, May 7th 1992, The Forest was the last song they played in the last encore, it was phukin PHENOMINAL, will never forget it
+Joachim Peiper Neither will I (And I got my tinnitus started on the same tour on one of their venues in Sweden). Still remembering the length of that gig as so great (four hours something).
I love how Robert knows exactly when to stop singing and let the music speak for itself, The instrumentals this group has produced over the years are just insane. Also how have his vocals not changed in 40 years.... the man still sings like he's 17!
You probably know this............when he was looking for a singer, he apparently thought....... .l might give it a go.........he wasn't impressed.........others thought he sounded alright...........from small acorns..................
This Sunday there is two hours of Cure, Hyde park, London on sky arts............you can pick it up on ordinary TV's.........l know cos it has been on before........free......in London it is 11..........probably varies............l think it was their last gig in London..........l have it on dvd & it is well worth it......about six. British time.........,.happy evening..............
I was there with my dad when i was 10 years old. In fact, i think it was this same show because i believe this is Philadelphia, PA. I'm not totally sure tho
But, to me, the 1989 moment was even more energetic. If you hear entreat LP and some of the videos of that tour.... god... Boris was on his very finest moment bringing the time a bit up to all the band.
my father in law worked with Ian Curtis at the DHSS in Macclesfield during the late 70s. he died recently and just happened to be cremated at the same place as Curtis. he said that it was such a shame that he was so unhappy, and that he was an articulate , helpful and very caring individual... a pleasure to work with.

Bar none, the best iteration of the Forest ever. Robert is a musical genius and a once in generation singer. Pure magic. The world is fortunate to have him.
It's only now I am realising how incredibly important a lot of 80s music is in the history of music. Don't get me wrong - even at the time it felt special - I saw these guys at the Birmingham Odeon in 1980 and Robert Smith played lead guituar for both the Cure and Souixsie and The Banshees that night. When I think of the mantle picked up by The Cure, Bauhaus, Echo and the Bunnymen, early Depeche Mode, handed over by groups like The Damned and The Stranglers, well only later did I realise how lucky I was to be 15 years old in 1977 and emerging into punk, then growing into late teen/early 20s listening to this stuff. I really was blessed with an embarrassment of riches.
I have loved them since I was 14, I am 46 now. I am so glad I grew up with this amazing band and so many others that inspired me to be true to myself regardless of societal norms. I thank you for this superb post.
My Dad showed me this song and when i heard it i listened to it again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN and again and again and AGAIN😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨 BUT i SITLL love it😃
In 1992 I was at the best concert of my life - "The Cure" in Munich, Olympiastadion. I was 30 years old then and I still get blown away when I hear this music - and today, February 21, 2022, I'm celebrating my 60th birthday with "The Cure - A Forest" ... and again and again and again and again and again and again ....

So is no jack Bruce, rip,........still neat though & a nice bloke.........ln fact all of them are.........
After 42 years I have to say this is my favorite Cure song. I love others but this one moves me like no other.
I agree!!!!
@@haagsenar7172 my favorite cure song always seems to be the one I'm listening to now! 63 years old and still my favorite band.
totally agree !! this one is the master piece beyong all the gems they've done !
Good choice, it's mine too
Mine too
Saw the cure In London early 90s stupendous and life changing
Fantastic. ❤❤❤❤
So unique 😎🥰👌
I gotta say this was one of the best live versions they ever did. Saw them in ‘’87 and ‘93 (twice). Plan on seeing them in ‘23 but this time I’m taking my 14 yo son. Gotta train the kid right! Cheers Cure fans!
Imagine if you could have said to them in 1993- ‘Hey, I’ll see you guys again in 2023’
Lol! True. It’s like Robert said after the Hyde Park Anniversary show, “here’s to the next decade.” He’s almost on mark. God bless that man.
Cure to this day. 1st show in DC. 84. Lived in London after. Twin daughters now 21. Their background is Cure based. Thanks for sharing. Another note, Cure helped and publicised
a band from Seven Sisters that i saw live multiple times. Same genre. 84-87? Any knowledge or feedback appreciated.
I take my 11y old son two weeks ago on the Cure concert in Zagreb, we had a fantastic time. Wish you the same ☺️🤟

I saw them last week in Montpellier.. my 17th gig… the first one was in 1986…

The best 13.46 minutes of my life. So sorry for the 1.014 ppl who got lost in a forest and disliked this. You, people, missed the greatest eargasm.

I'm 68 years old and I still listen to 'A Forest' like the first time, never getting tired of it. Time runs backwards and I'm 24 again.
Come closer and see
See into the trees
Find the girl
While you can
Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes
I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees
Into the trees
Suddenly I stop
But I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again and again and again and again...
She said "could you take me home tonight?
It's the only way I know.
" She said "could you take me home tonight?
There's no other way I know.
" She said "you know the way you used to do."
"Of course I'll take you home."
"You know the way you used to do."
"Of course I'll take you home."
This kiss could cost my life.
Is all you see in her eyes.
This kiss could cost my life.
Is all you see in her eyes.

Don't normally like long versions of songs, but this one is perfect. The longer it goes, the more it expands. It's awesome. The Forest is a great song to start with.
My favourite extended version of this song is the one they performed during the show I attended at the Gorge on the Wild Mood Swings tour. It was a little different from this one, where they jammed out the outro section of the song for what felt like several minutes. What I wouldn't give for someone out there to have a recording of that version to upload onto RUclips or wherever! One of the best experiences of my life.
@@k2peekHow about asking the Cure? I'd love to hear it.

Same here, have been listening to them since high-school years. Had always wanted to play their music live and finally found myself in a pretty decent Cure tribute band after many years. :)
At 61 and a huge 80s music fan, particularly alternative...DM, TFF, NO, TT, DD, U2, B52s, INXS, etc.....The Cure was always on my periphery, I sorta liked some of their songs but never bought an album....shame on me.....3 weeks ago I listened to Disintegration....the album..for the first time....holy shit what an album! At the same time I stumbled across A Forest, the 2019 live version.....loved it! Today I watched this version......sublime.....35 years late...I’m a Cure fan....forgive me Robert.
Cure B 52's? You are Not alone
Same here, word for word - including being 61!
At 66 still jamming out to the cure for sure
Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, New Order, Duran Duran. No idea what TT is. I'll go with Tina Turner.
63 and still luvin it )))
oh my word.. Never heard this extended version before. Freaking amazing!
Apparently they were told to stop. They said do one look at the band mates reaction

@@johnperkins4611 That's the 1981 version at the Werchter festival. Robert Palmer was up next, and they told them to get off, so they kept playing (and the song ends with the infamous F Robert Palmer, F Rock and Roll from Simon). That is what started the extended versions of the song - but the've had other songs they would do this with. The unreleased song All Mine was an extended jam that changed every time they played it.
I was there (not this concert, but one a month later) - it was AMAZING.

Blessed are those that attended this outstanding performance!
I was there with my dad when i was 10 years old. In fact, i think it was this same show because i believe this is Philadelphia, PA. I'm not totally sure tho
I went to Madrid show that year. November 1992. Amazing performance at the old Palacio de deportes.
But, to me, the 1989 moment was even more energetic. If you hear entreat LP and some of the videos of that tour.... god... Boris was on his very finest moment bringing the time a bit up to all the band.

Robert is a musical genius and a once in generation singer.
Pure magic. The world is fortunate to have him.
Fortunate indeed...
The iconic bass line !!!
It's only now I am realising how incredibly important a lot of 80s music is in the history of music. Don't get me wrong - even at the time it felt special - I saw these guys at the Birmingham Odeon in 1980 and Robert Smith played lead guituar for both the Cure and Souixsie and The Banshees that night. When I think of the mantle picked up by The Cure, Bauhaus, Echo and the Bunnymen, early Depeche Mode, handed over by groups like The Damned and The Stranglers, well only later did I realise how lucky I was to be 15 years old in 1977 and emerging into punk, then growing into late teen/early 20s listening to this stuff. I really was blessed with an embarrassment of riches.
Correction - it was Sept '79

At his age Smith has still a great voice and from his guitar comes out the same magic we could ear in the 80's.

@@nickyjames1985 That's a cool story. I love Joy Division and Hooky
Completely agree, mesmerizing perfomance
@@thebigkrischan Where is the Joy Division part ?

Chills down my spine ...

I have loved them since I was 14, I am 46 now. I am so glad I grew up with this amazing band and so many others that inspired me to be true to myself regardless of societal norms. I thank you for this superb post.

What. A. Masterpiece.
There's no band like The Cure. They are literally one of the best bands in the world.
In 1992 I was at the best concert of my life - "The Cure" in Munich, Olympiastadion. I was 30 years old then and I still get blown away when I hear this music - and today, February 21, 2022, I'm celebrating my 60th birthday with "The Cure - A Forest" ... and again and again and again and again and again and again ....
habby birthday

Hi! Do you happen to remember the date of this concert?
What a bloody amazing version of an amazing song
Fantastic!
Its even better than the original
Come closer and see
See into the trees
Find the girl
If you can
Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes
I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees
Into the trees
Suddenly I stop
But I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again and again and again and again
She said "could you take me home tonight?
It's the only way I know."
She said "could you take me home tonight?
There's no other way I know."
She said "you know the way you used to do."
"Of course I'll take you home."
"You know the way you used to do."
"Of course I'll take you home."
This kiss could cost my life.
Is all you see in her eyes.
This kiss could cost my life.
Is all you see in her eyes.
It's all you see in her eyes.
She said "Take my hand, take me home."
She said "Take my hand, take me home.
Take me home.
Take me home.
