In an effort to make the day even better, have you seen the article that Mr. Smith says TWO NEW ALBUMS are ready for mixing & to soon be released. One with "The Cure," and a separate solo album of just him "making noise for an hour." :)
@@Wackaz I'm not a fan of the cure, so I didn't know that the musicians changed that much. Then, he is the best of the band, maybe one of the greatest of his genre (I know The Cure can't be labeled with a genre, but I mean: his type of music). But of all time?
I love it! Lyrics: Verse 1: Lauren Mayberry] 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 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 [Chorus: Lauren Mayberry] Tell me how It’s better when the sun goes down We will 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
[Verse 2: Robert Smith] 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 [Chorus: Lauren Mayberry & Robert Smith] Tell me how It’s better when the sun goes down We will 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 [Bridge: Lauren Mayberry] 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
[Outro: Robert Smith] 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
Can I dare to say that this is one of the best Chvrches songs ever? Yes! From complex Bones era lyrics and the sick beat to the legendary Robert Smith, this is an epic song! Wednesday, we’re in love! 🖤
The band alluded to the new album having cure and depeche mode influences. Bob is ticking the cure box and I am definitely getting walking in my shoes vibes with this song too. Love it!
This has made my day... as a long time fan of The Cure, and as a fan of you CHVRCHES, this is wonderful... and I absolutely treasure it. Thank you for your art.
yes, Yes, YES! Everything is better with Robert Smith 💕 He never disappoints me, crushing strong for forty years now. I'm convinced there's nothing he can't do.
It's for sure a collab of these two artists because the start is chvrches with her passionate clean piercing voice and tones of the classic cure sound 👌 the slow melodies with his crisp brooding voice is *chefs kiss*
It's my birthday today. My son said I'd like this. My husband loved The Cure. I loved The Cure. The night before he died we listened to "Friday I'm in Love" and sang along together. He died the next day (Friday) in a shark attack which has affected the town and makes me not want to live here for much longer. As he's become "theirs". I feel this song is a gift today. Thank you 🙏
You've saved my day, my week, my month my life with this release. I am not saying this cause I am a fan. I am saying this because for real it sounds amazing. I am very proud of you guys.
Songs of Faith and Devotion era sounding tune mixed in with Lauren Mayberry and Robert Smith on vocals makes for a pleasing sounding track for the summer.
The goth king is back I’ve fallen in love with Robert all over again 😍❤️😘🥰 Yes I am well aware Robert does not like to be referred to as goth, to me he is the Goth king. Hearing this released single Is helping me rediscover who Robert Smith is as an artist and I couldn’t be more happy. 🖤
Same I was locked in Jail an this song saved me because I almost gave up locked up in the hole 23 hour lock up Honestly Only had a radio it opened me up Idk how but yea the Goth Ling
Now I hope to hear Lauren's vocals on The Cure's new album coming out later this year. As for this track, I think it's one of the best Chvrches' songs ever created! Thanks a lot to Chvrches and Robert Smith!
Churches and The Cure in one song - mind officially blown!!
Please... It's just Robert, not The Cure.
@@gatis3977 Amen!!
Nah, there's nothing about this song that really sounds like The Cure other than Robert Smith's vocals.
Awful, Robert the BUSINESSMAN
@@Suspended777DusK I don't agree. It's very Cure-ish to me. Especially the guitar sound.
What amazes me is how Robert Smith's voice hasn't changed at all, it's honestly crazy.
Ikr!
It is because he is immortal
Exactly what I thought
yep.
I know dude it's freaking epic I love it
Love the ending part with guitar instrumentals and Robert Smith's voice. It's got those serene 90s vibes.
Reminded me a bit of the Disintegration album but that was 89 so 90s is prob a good shout.
@@roseability86 Spot on!
The end is cure he always wrote like that
@@roseability86 Yep, I definitely heard disintegration and bloodflowers in that outro
I got some Cocteau Twins vibes from the end tune
Lauren Mayberry singing with Robert Smith?!?! what a dream collaboration! can´t wait to see them perform together onstage. #chills
2022 THE CURE ....and Chrvrches on tour together ... YES, Sir!
Their voices blend so beautifully together ❤️
this release greatly improved my bad day
Same lmao brilliant timing, hope you have a much better week now :)
I hope your day gets even better!! :)
Hope your day gets better!
In an effort to make the day even better, have you seen the article that Mr. Smith says TWO NEW ALBUMS are ready for mixing & to soon be released. One with "The Cure," and a separate solo album of just him "making noise for an hour." :)
Robert Smith is our most precious human.
robert sounds massive here we need that cure new album more than ever
My dad’s all time favorite artist and my all time favorite artist just made the best collaboration ever and we are living for it
Same...I’m the mom who loves the Cure and early CHVRCHES and my son loves the latter and now maybe the Cure :))
Lmao this makes me officially feel old asf ...the cure is my favor band of all time 🤣
Made especially for you guys. So Sweet
I’m old so I’m guessing your dad’s fav is the Cure?? Respect to your dad and you!!
Robert Smith is an idol, what a voice!
we need Robert Smith to save the world, again.
I totally understood that reference! #mechastreisand
Classic episode!
He needs to announce world tour and save our asses ! We need you Robert
Hallelujah!
I will use this popular comment to say that this doesn't sound like Chvrches at all, is good song, but is not Chvrches.
I GOT CHILLS with the chorus and when Robert Smith started singing, I LOVE IT SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I had chills through out my whole body when his part came on. 😩😭❤️ I’m so glad he’s back. 😊
Me tooo
First concert ever was the Cure at Redrocks. Magical!!!!
It's always comforting to hear Robert Smith's voice❤ Great tune and mood.
Chvrches always amazes me with each new song. This one is giving me shivers. 😬 can't wait for the full album. 🙌🙌🙌
This isn't Pop music...this is a work of art...well done you guys!!!
This song is amazing! 😍
Now i want a duet with Dave Gahan! 🥰
Now that would be incredible
...and Morrissey....hahahaha
Robert's voice is the second most beautiful sound I've heard in my life.
Was the first your partner's?
NB: Smith's collab is always for his mesmerizing voice not his guitar skill.
@@crystalflood4803 Is that really his guitar? It doesn't sound like it. He's usually got much better tone than that.
@@yehlichi5727 Where's your source for that. I can't find any facts to back that up online and, it doesn't sound like Mr. Smith's guitar to me. ;)
first being the bass vi?
what a time to be alive.
Robert Smith is one of the greatest artists of all time, hands down.
Omg, he is good but g.o.a.t.? Really? I don't think he is even the best of his band.
@@viniciusjr8670 What? He is THE band, the only permanent member. Bro what crack you on?
He hasn’t been good since 2000. Lost his voice and song writing ability.
@@Wackaz I'm not a fan of the cure, so I didn't know that the musicians changed that much. Then, he is the best of the band, maybe one of the greatest of his genre (I know The Cure can't be labeled with a genre, but I mean: his type of music). But of all time?
@@syntheticgerbil He co-wrote this just fine. It screams Smith.
I wasnt really vibing with the new stuff chvrches was putting out, but this and death stranding? there's no way I aint loving them
Death Stranding is amazing, have u played the game?
@@FirstBran MANN, I WISH. Unfortunately, I don't have any gaming device to play it, but I watched video essays about it if that counts (?
Yeah I think Love is Dead was a minor misstep trying to be too pop.
@Matt C just like any band, cant all be winners
I love it!
Lyrics:
Verse 1: Lauren Mayberry]
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 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
[Chorus: Lauren Mayberry]
Tell me how
It’s better when the sun goes down
We will 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
[Verse 2: Robert Smith]
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
[Chorus: Lauren Mayberry & Robert Smith]
Tell me how
It’s better when the sun goes down
We will 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
[Bridge: Lauren Mayberry]
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
[Outro: Robert Smith]
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
Hey thanks : )
Thanks!
Cristabel
lyrics are in the description box
But
Thank You very much anyway..
I love You!

Omg he sounds so young, so alive
Yes!
Robert has kept his voice intact all these years. It's amazing.
Robert Smith blends in so f***ing perfectly with the rest of the band it's crazy.
Whoa they’re really going dark in this album huh. It’s such a great song! So excited to hear the rest of the album 🖤
Robert Smith and The Cure are one of my favorite artists/ bands ever. This is amazing
Wow, Chvrches feat. Robert Smith...... I wasn't expecting that. Thumbs up for it!
Same. i'm in shock xD.
Can I dare to say that this is one of the best Chvrches songs ever? Yes! From complex Bones era lyrics and the sick beat to the legendary Robert Smith, this is an epic song! Wednesday, we’re in love! 🖤
We Sink clear
Actually this is the best Churches song ever
The band alluded to the new album having cure and depeche mode influences. Bob is ticking the cure box and I am definitely getting walking in my shoes vibes with this song too. Love it!
That’s exactly what I thought and I absolutely love walking in my shoes. Incredible track 😊💕
This has made my day... as a long time fan of The Cure, and as a fan of you CHVRCHES, this is wonderful... and I absolutely treasure it. Thank you for your art.
The song is great! Can’t wait to listen to the rest of Screen Violence in August!
Wait is that what the album is called?
Yes
how do you know title and release?
@@04wllc follow Lauren and CHVRCHES on social media, they have info coming out
Robert forever
Robert's voice really is the cure .
Chvrches + Robert Smith = Perfection
I don’t know who Robert Smith is…

This song is EVERYTHING! 👏👏👏Currently on repeat because Robert Smith is a LEGEND
This is more like it. Robert can pretty much add his vocals to any song and elevate it.
Thank the dreamy guitar heavens for Robert Smith and the Cure. Nice work CHVRCHES. A colab worth listening to.
yes, Yes, YES! Everything is better with Robert Smith 💕 He never disappoints me, crushing strong for forty years now. I'm convinced there's nothing he can't do.

This is beyond brilliant! Song of the year, without a doubt. What a collaboration. Cloud 9.
1.36 the moment you have been waiting for. He is amazing, still. Im addicted. 😍😻
when a "senior" great singer makes his strength available to join with that of a young group
KEXP plays this, and so much other exquisite variety. Streams worldwide!!

That ending sounds like a tribute to Disintegration and I live for it.
Robert.. His voice 😭🖤🖤 perfection... Great band #chvrches 🙌🖤
This is a whole new sound for CHVRCHES and I am LOVING it. The evolution of this band has been astounding to hear. They just keep getting better.
THIS is what i want and need. When his voice started into this song...i have goosebumps all over.
A God's dice and touch
WHAT A KING SONG! GOOSEBUMPS ALL OVER!

Robert Smith and the Chvrches
Robert Smith and the CHRVCHES, it's the ultimate music collaboration. Great song guys!!
I can't remember the last time a new song gave me chill bumps...
YEAH! IT'S FINALLY HERE!
Best collaboration of the year? Absolutely.
Galantis, David Guetta and Little Mix is better IMO
@@someguy7567 Oh, God!!!! Hadn't heard it and now I can't stop!
I had a dream 4 months ago that The Cure had a new song that was a mainstream chart-topper. Could it have been prophetic?....
This won't be a chart topper
@@lepythagore3288 sure, chart toppers are shit now ...that s the world 3.0
Chvrches👏👏,, Lauren and Robert Legend and Future 💣
This is GOLD!!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
