@@nvred80 I so agree, love listening to him talk...the accent,the chin dimple and also can't stop looking at his sweet face as he is just adorable, kind,sincere and down to earth!🥰🎸💜
Obviously his singing voice is perfection but his speaking voice & accent is so relaxing. He should do ASMR or read audiobooks😍I am eternally grateful for Robert Smith and The Cure🖤🥀
I went to the bloodflowers show and it wasn't gothic, but it was truly the best of the cure. They played faith, plainsong, sinking and a handful of other moody types of songs. In fact they opened with plainsong and timed it so that it began just as the sun was setting. They were amazing.
What a huge impact on me as a teen to read an interview/see an interview with Robert Smith (and enjoy the music of course) and hear an adult, a creative and successful artist, talk about not compromising, not buying into shallow culture, not measuring yourself against capitalist success, reading novels, knowing what worked for him and working by instinct towards quality, and being soft-spoken and himself--an anti-hero-worship factor built in. A huge relief and confirmation.
He is the most unassuming and down to earth person! Most performers with his level of success don’t make such an effort to fully and honestly engage with an interviewer.
Brittany Spears and The Cure... I would never have believed that phrase could have been put in one sentence if I hadn't heard it straight from Robert Smith. What a great interview he is.
It's very telling that Robert made the band listen to Disintegration and Pornography as a model for Bloodflowers. It's the first album where The Cure sounds like they're self-influenced.
The microphone is of German TV channel VIVA ZWEI (that I worked for). Yes, our "Redakteure" had an outstanding ability and empathy with bands. The VIVA group was eventually taken over by Viacom in order to be "killed". I am very happy to see this interview. It brings back good memories with our alternative channel in general. Thanks for your post. 💙
He is so beautiful and he's given us so much and I feel like he has a sadness right now in his heart and it breaks mine. Thanks for the amazing 2023 concert Robert and all the new songs.
Thank you for posting this. I never heard Robert speak so specifically about his songwriting process. Fascinating to hear about the gestation and development of his craft. And as always, his intelligence, wit and decency come shining through.
I dunno. At first listen, I was very disappointed... And truthfully, a lot of the songs still sound kinda tired, melodically fairly unimaginative and overall just a tad too forced to me - with the total exception of the title track, by the way! That one's as good as it gets, period. I'd still prefer the album to 4:13 DREAM any day of the week. Really hope they'll manage to at least make one more really good, inspired record before they'll probably just leave it at live gigs until Robert feels he has nothing more to give.
This interview is a gem ✨ I have always tried to understand how a great songwriter took his inspiration to write songs (first with Martin Gore who I consider at the same level as Robert) and I imagine him with a sheet and a pen always beside him: while he is in bed, during the lunch and even sitting on the toilet!
i havent seen an interview like this - where he is talking and refelcitng quietly, without loud musice or an interviewer who is LOUD like th American's. its really great, thank you for posting!
I've watched this before and decided to rewatch it. I got a kick about what he said about not being in charge in the house. He sounds just like my husband. Love this!
I loved Bloodflower, I cried listening to bloodflowers, looking into the night out the window of a suburban train in Paris, just like I cried to Pornography back in 1982.
aw i really love Wild Mood Swings, its fun. but then again I just love listening to Robert's voice no matter what aha. He's so handsome in this interview
I so love to hear Robert Talk & Sing. That Voice In Every Way- sweet, sexy, smooth, gentle, exciting, the range of it & so dreamy with those lyrics to the love songs & I just can't get enough of him. So many Women, including me want to Be With Him & Be The Subject of those songs & men want to Be him! He is definitely a Very Sexy & Hot Man, Handsome, Intelligent & Very Married! How Does Mary Do It- knowing everyone wants him? And still going strong in 2020 & finally got inducted into the Music Hall Of Fame in 2019! About Time! A Musical Genius, Truly Unique & a True Artist. The Cure's Music is Timeless! I love the 70s 80s & 90s & They are my no.1 Favorite Band. Love Love Love You Always. Hope to meet Robert & the band some day. Saw only once in Mansfield, MA.1996 & it was Fantastic- it was like a communion, it had this feel to it of everyone feeling the same. Lots of black dress & black & dark red lips. A Great Time. I was 36 & so into them. I started out on a home made tape cassette a friend found of 3 Imaginary Boys & It had a mix from other albums on it, Lullaby, Plainsong, Lovesong, Same Deep Water As You, Prayers For Rain, Pictures Of You, & I was hooked. I started looking them up in the music stores- & bought the Black & White album w/A & B sides. Fell in love all over again. I think the only song I ever heard on the radio by them was Just Like Heaven! And they are so versatile I had no idea, & the other stuff would never get on the radio! You Had to buy the albums to get those songs! So glad I did! "I will always love you" !❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Yes I bought a T- Shirt & I still have it & wear it.The whole groups photo of the front of them & back of them on front & back on a black shirt. 😃
This should be recorded on a DV tape. The quality is pretty good to be recorded on the 2000 ;) The VHS isn't have that good resolution 🤔🤔 Nice archive !!! 👍👍 I'm a The Cure fan thanks to my mom
I only bought one or two albums at a young age and then immediately came across the 4 disc box set of b-sides at the local record store if you haven't heard those I suggest there's like four versions of most songs
Father Bob, NEVER regret or feel unfinished with Wild Mood Swings. It iS one of my favorites. I'm also surprised you speak of fans not liking it except true Cure fans. When I met you in Detroit and we went club hopping and stayed the night at the Renaissance Center on Head on the Door tour, I talked with you about true Cure fans. You contradict yourself here. You told me you despised that elitism. Now you applaud it. You made me cry that night. Glad you can see more than one way now. Thanks for the extra t-shirts, although I know not what they mean. Always, Claudia ❤
Tim Suthern I heard him say in an interview he thinks his facial features are plain so he likes to accentuate them with the make up. I think he looks hot regardless 😍🥰😍
Wild Mood Swings stood the test of time nevertheless. I remembered being disappointed when it came out, but over the decades it grew on me big time. It reminds me of KMKMKM in a lot of ways
And turning on his heel, he left a trail of bubbles bleeding in his stead, and in her head a picture of a boy who left her lonely in the rain…. And all around the night sang out like cockatoos
i just argues with hiim the whole time. "Bloodlowers is a really good album" No, it's not. "Maybe someday is the weakest song on the album" No, it's the best song on the album. To be fair...he said parts of wild mood swings were really good...thats true. I still don't get....as a long time cure fan...how Pornography and Disintegration are always talked about as being the best Cure albums...don't get me wrong i love them both...but Wish, in my opinion..is not only their best album...but one of the most perfect albums ever made...it's fuckin amazing...and will always be my favourite album by ANYONE...until i die.
Wish feels like a bit too much in some parts imo. Like all the vocal layering and extra instrumentation... I love it though and it definitely has some of their best songs in there. (Trust might be my favorite Cure song ever) But I could see how some fans would be put off by it too
Wish is an awesome album, my second favourite after Pornography. I mean "From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea" is such an epic song and at almost 8 minutes it still seems too short!
Maybe if you're looking at the Cure's music from pop and mass appeal. But from Robert's perspective he see's it from purely as unique pieces of art and typically don't have mass appeal. Wish is a good album but isn't as unique as P or D.
Reading comments on his interviews and seeing people objectifying him is sooOoO gross and annoying, but anyways. Amazing interview, best musician (&Kevin Shields)
That's a good thought to have,to be in it or have your music be there for a long time,to have quality in the music so it's time less.like elvis,bowie,Boleyn,,,

The Interview Channel the only thing I didn't like was I couldn't hear any of the questions just his answers
He has the cutest face
Yeeeess!! Adorable
I just love looking at his face.
Hobabbi he has a really interesting face
His face is soooooo gorgeous! I never get tired of looking at him!
@@nvred80 I so agree, love listening to him talk...the accent,the chin dimple and also can't stop looking at his sweet face as he is just adorable, kind,sincere and down to earth!🥰🎸💜
I just love him in general
He has such a lovely smile!
Oh Robert Smith ive always had such a crush on you , creative, deep , genuine . Mrs Smith must be a wonderful woman to have captured his heart.
Same. Same.
who hasn’t tbh
Yes, he is mine secret love❤
"I figured they'd have me as a gay cat or something, so I said yes"
This line is best out of context lol
hes amazing
lmaoooo i thought this was my comment for a second cuz i just commented this exact same thing 😭
Robert thought he'll be voicing a gay cat in South Park.
This is everything.
Typically!
"our saviour"
-jesus
Obviously his singing voice is perfection but his speaking voice & accent is so relaxing. He should do ASMR or read audiobooks😍I am eternally grateful for Robert Smith and The Cure🖤🥀

Really soft soul , seems like such a great guy and his songwriting and music is almost greater
This man is not from this planet, he is so special . And I thought I was the only one who liked him as a man, even now at 61
He is the most unassuming and down to earth person! Most performers with his level of success don’t make such an effort to fully and honestly engage with an interviewer.
Imagine having HIM as the oncle of your kids... he must be sooooo sweet with them ❤️
I love how calming he is
I could listen to him all day long! Love his voice and he’s such an insightful person.
There will never be remotely another Cure or anything next to Roberts lyrics LONG LIVE THE CURE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Robert Smith makes living now beautiful...
This is probably the best interview I've seen with Robert. He's more relaxed and open here and it makes for a great watch.
Kudos to the interviewer.
I could listen to him talk for ages.
What kind of magic Is this???!!!i'm hypnotized
Brittany Spears and The Cure... I would never have believed that phrase could have been put in one sentence if I hadn't heard it straight from Robert Smith. What a great interview he is.

love this - obviously kudos to the journalist for making robert feel so comfortable here...

There are no words to describe how amazing this man is. ❤️
Awww, Robert experienced unrequited love.. 💔 My hug hormones are in overdrive now
Hes so precious and gorgeous🖤🖤🖤
I hope they tour one more time after 2023
Can´t help myself, I just adore him.........
Bloodflowers is an exceptional album.
Robert Smith is such a sweetheart. I love you so much, angelkisses :-*
Thank you for posting this. I never heard Robert speak so specifically about his songwriting process. Fascinating to hear about the gestation and development of his craft. And as always, his intelligence, wit and decency come shining through.
happy you like it
who did the interview, does anyone know?
I really like his voice, when he sings and speaks
Bloodflowers is very underrated album.
Fuckin’ A. It was up for a Grammy, but I’m sure some shitty album won instead.
agreed
I dunno. At first listen, I was very disappointed... And truthfully, a lot of the songs still sound kinda tired, melodically fairly unimaginative and overall just a tad too forced to me - with the total exception of the title track, by the way! That one's as good as it gets, period.

Absolutely! One of my fave Cure albums.
@@davidlabelle361 well, Radiohead - Kid A won. Shouldn't be that shitty ;-)
he is such a perfectionsist ... i adore him so! im ghetting a tatoo of him on my shoulder in two weeks time ...
This interview is a gem ✨
I have always tried to understand how a great songwriter took his inspiration to write songs (first with Martin Gore who I consider at the same level as Robert) and I imagine him with a sheet and a pen always beside him: while he is in bed, during the lunch and even sitting on the toilet!
Killer Smile Robert Smith💋
He's incredibly funny.
i havent seen an interview like this - where he is talking and refelcitng quietly, without loud musice or an interviewer who is LOUD like th American's. its really great, thank you for posting!

I loved Bloodflower, I cried listening to bloodflowers, looking into the night out the window of a suburban train in Paris, just like I cried to Pornography back in 1982.
Lucky you... listening to The Cure and crying in Paris.
aw i really love Wild Mood Swings, its fun. but then again I just love listening to Robert's voice no matter what aha. He's so handsome in this interview
Agreed!
Great interview! The Cure fan since 1985
I hope you all checked out the pre 1985 material
Brilliant interview, from the heart.
Bloodflowers is my favorite Cure album. Got the picture disc a few months ago!
I just got it and was surprised that Coming Up is on it, when on every other version it's not.
What a remarkable honest and intelligent man. Perhaps that's why I always loved his music without knowing him behind the media image.
I absolutely love this interview...he is divine.thanks so much for sharing this!
His voice is lowkey so calming, not in a weird way tho💀
Well done interview with Robert! He seems so relaxed and comfortable. Thank you for sharing ❤
I love when he calls himself a control freak
The man is a GENIUS!
Beautiful soul ❤️
I fell asleep during every Cure song, and this interview. It happens so quickly I don’t have time to turn it off before I’m out.
You're wonderful thankyou absolutely gorgeous x
28:06-This is how it feels to be a doctor in the US with insurance companies. Thanks for this interview. Enjoyed it.

Amazing interview!
Seventeen Seconds is the Shiznit! amazeballs music man.
Robert Smith is so cute
Lovely clarity, lovely art
Good luck with you new music adventures ♥️
This should be recorded on a DV tape. The quality is pretty good to be recorded on the 2000 ;)
The VHS isn't have that good resolution 🤔🤔
Nice archive !!! 👍👍 I'm a The Cure fan thanks to my mom
This is glorious. Thanks so much for saving and uploading this.
Fantastic interview !!! RSX
I’ve seen ‘em three times and have not heard them play ONE song from “Bloodflowers” live. I wish they’d have played at least one....
Three Imaginary Boys is The Greatest Album Ever Made
I thinking Grinding Halt may have been the first song I heard, the John Peel show!
I heard 10:15 On A Saturday Night on 2jj Sydney in 1978, and knew I’d found my people.
Merci à vous génial l'interview de Robert Smith qu'elle époque 👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️
Wonderful guy
How come we don not get to hear the questions he´s beeing asked?
I only bought one or two albums at a young age and then immediately came across the 4 disc box set of b-sides at the local record store if you haven't heard those I suggest there's like four versions of most songs
Great interview....
Meu primeiro amor...Ownnn homem lindo!!!
I love you Robert! Wish you were my husband!
this is weird to not have the questions he's answering...
Love !
9:37 no singles tonight, it’s only dark long songs - which concert is Robert talking about? I must watch it.
Robert runs this ship. He's in control!!! 😮
Father Bob, NEVER regret or feel unfinished with Wild Mood Swings. It iS one of my favorites. I'm also surprised you speak of fans not liking it except true Cure fans.

He looks so much better without the makeup.
Tim Suthern I heard him say in an interview he thinks his facial features are plain so he likes to accentuate them with the make up. I think he looks hot regardless 😍🥰😍
So much sex appeal in this one!
I suggest some of you listen to bloodflowers again. It's very good.
Wild Mood Swings stood the test of time nevertheless. I remembered being disappointed when it came out, but over the decades it grew on me big time. It reminds me of KMKMKM in a lot of ways
Love WMS
Ironically Maybe Someday is pretty much the only song from Bloodflowers I like and have on my playlist....
Bare is brilliant..........wild mood swings.......as is Treasure..........
Robert's so hot here. I love when he doesn't shave too :)
missescookie I agree love the sideburns as well
I do like to hear some thing different time & again.
❤
And turning on his heel, he left a trail of bubbles bleeding in his stead, and in her head a picture of a boy who left her lonely in the rain….
And all around the night sang out like cockatoos
17:08 The Cure and 4:13 Dream say 'hi'
♥️🌹♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🌻♥️
8:11 I completely agree

Ben Afleck with long hair :D
two years ago and 2:11 was the first time I heard him laughing...
20 now
Bloodflowers is the last album , yeah right ...... 2004 The Cure
Kinda weird seeing him without and eyeliner.
But he has!! Look closely. His eyes are very prominent. And a hint of lippy....
Reading comments on his interviews and seeing people objectifying him is sooOoO gross and annoying, but anyways. Amazing interview, best musician (&Kevin Shields)
