yeah me too first time i watched batman I didn’t recognize him AT ALL i was like who the hell is this actor he’s so talented he’s gonna have a great career in Hollywood then i checked the cast I couldn’t believe he was colin farrell it boggled my mind for days 😂🐧
Me neither! He is just absolutely lost in the role. I’ve maybe seen a couple flashes of him these past 5 episodes. He’s always been a favorite and with this show he’s gonna be Emmy nominated
Ditto, while Prince is my all time favorite musician/composer/instrumentalist. Geniuses whose evolving sounds magically mesmerized me again and again and again and again...(x21) :heart:
Growing up, art was always my thing, and when I was 15 years old, this song inspired me to draw a strange picture of a boy in the woods, which I still have. I swear I was so haunted by this song, and I used to listen to it with my headset on, over and over. We lived in the mountains, and we frequently drove through the forest. I would look into the thick trees and try to imagine what was maybe out there that people just never noticed…

I have lost my youngest brother very suddenly a couple of months ago! He was a huge fan for as long as I can remember! This song was played at his funeral and when I need a goor cry I play this song. Miss you so much Rene!
I’ve been listening to this song for well over 35 years and it’s still epic every time I hear it. The space they created in this masterpiece is second to none and holds true over 40yrs later. Absolute legends.
I am 66, and I always dismissed The Cure based on what I assumed about them from the one or two songs I had heard. I wasted decades when I could have seen them and grooved on them and spread the word about them. About two years ago, on a whim, I watched some of their fortieth anniversary show, and I was blown away. Still am.
This song is a rare work of art. A sparse mysterious poem overlayed on top of an absolute genius set of guitar tracks that take you on a trip deep into the woods of your own psyche. Robert Smith must have been inspired by an incredibly powerful force to write this. I’ll never grow tired of listening to it.
I love how you described his art...poetic. You must have experienced a similar situation to know it was "the woods of your own psyche"...maybe like the tree of life. Kether 🕊
The Cure is one of the greatest bands in the history of music. They are exquisitely unique and frankly unrepeatable. Though Robert Smith and company have influenced scores of bands that have followed they have created music that is so intensely magical and so deliciously soul invigorating it’s almost impossible to try and define it I’m sure that my story with this band is no different than your own. They were one of the musical institutions that saved me in the youthful coming of age period of deep confusion and overpowering despair that is high school. Robert Smith is one of the most gifted poets and singers of any era going back centuries. Professor of rock - 2020.
this song indeed is very magical heard it again in the radio yesterday when they played classics and the moderator said the song hasn't been played for 6 years lol i knew the song before but i think i havent heard it for even longer it instantly got me again ... :D
Je me souviens avoir entendu cette chanson il y a une dizaine d’année quelque part, j’ai écouté the cure pendant ces 8 dernières années sans jamais re ecouter ce son . Grace a un film je la retrouve ❤
I was driving, once, at night, with a beautiful company, in a road through a deep dark forest, listening to this song. One of the best moments in my life....
it's very much post punk of its time. The "it's ahead of its time" comments always reveal that whoever posts them does not know much about the style :P
This isnt really new wave. Its a guitar riff driven song which was their thing for the first 2 albums. Then they devolved into new wave and I went from loving them to hating them. They were successful at new wave but not my cup of tea.
Jesus Christ... "This isnt New Wave mommy! Hey daddy ,look at this, you know a thing? I know everything about music , Everything! I'm so special, now medicate me, please"

oh settle down. it's pretty basic stuff here. these aren't virtuosos or some shit. this is highschool level music here....c'mon. I get thery are you're favorite band or whatever..but, no. the playing is about the level of you average 10 year old RUclipsr. you could teach someone this song in about a month, from never playing an instrument...all parts- bass, drums, synth...even the singing is totla amatuer hour. it's just generic pop music at it's core. very little talent, skill, or experience required to emulate.

One of the greatest songs ever produced. You can feel the despair of the protagonist in that final guitar solo as he desperately searches for the girl knowing he'll never find her in that forrest. Absolutely masterful stuff and I'm glad I was able to discover this song recently although I've been listening to The Cure for most of my adult life.
The drums sound electronic and it’s definitely hypnotic! Great song to drive to and just cruise! I love the guitar 🎸 overlay on top of the groove. Brilliant song!
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
Again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again & AGAIN.....
This track was released 43 years ago. I remember hearing this as a boy and was blown away by the dark mysterious melody. It's one of my all time favourite tracks.
Una linea di basso, una batteria, un sintetizzatore e una voce sintetica, riescono a ricreare il batticuore, lo smarrimento e l' angoscia di sentirsi persi in una foresta labirintica che è puramente mentale. "A Forest", un capolavoro di una band iconica: The Cure.
Thank you my Mum that I was born in 1964 and spent my 20's listening to great bands like the Cure, post Punk Britain, what a great period. The late seventies was a musical revolution and I'm so glad to have been able to have immersed myself into it...just music, nothing else, C90 or Vinyl, fucking bliss.
The joy it brought me when this song played in the episode. It's a special feeling when it's a song you'd listen to before the show was even announced.
It’s all about proportions and optimism! Nothing last forever. Even the hard time you are going through will eventually end followed by brighten days and the sun will shine on you once again. I promise (-: ☀️☀️☀️
This is one of those songs where every instrument comes together so wonderfully while still leaving this vacuous space between them. The bass line is amazing. And that snare! Robert's vocals are eerie and atmospheric. Miraculously composed and performed by one of the greatest bands on the face of the earth. A widely covered song and it's easy to see why.
My favourite all time song - gives me goosebumps every time - haunting.. When they toured Australia in 92 he sung this song in memory of a friend who had just died and the tears were streaming down his face and had to take a 5 minute break to compose himself and continue. An amazing privilege to witness that right in front of me...
This song has been the theme of my life. Skating down the street with my very first bright yellow walkman in the late 80's this piece and so many of other Cure songs became anthemic pieces that played in a continuous loop of escapism. Even now as I approach 48, I still skate, though nowhere near as hard, and still love moments alone with these tunes ringing in my ears as I reminise about the past. So evocatively beautiful as an individual song, I get goose bumps every damn time.
This song creates a feeling inside me I can’t quite describe… Robert’s again, again, and again transitioning into that guitar (3:11) is just wonderful 😍💫
Mon adolescence en une musique : (j’ai que 19 ans pourtant) L’amour, la tristesse, la colère…cette musique a tout simplement vécu avec moi toutes mes émotions ❤
Depuis le film , je n'arrête pas de l'écouter et j'ai appris à connaître le groupe car étant de 1990 , je n'ai pas connu ce groupe, mais ma mère oui très bien! 🙂😉
You know when a song gotta be good? If you can listen to it over and over again without skipping in the middle or somewhere else and always thinking "what a great song this is" every time it is playing and that from the release to almost 40 years later now.
Heard this at the end of the gold Ashamed to say I hadn’t heard it before even though I was around in the 80’s, what a fantastic track - the cure, I have a different view of them now wow, never too old to hear new things
Oh man, I recall every time this song came on, whether it was in the clubs we visited or just when we played it in the car or at any party, we had to get out there and dance. What an amazing song and what an amazing band. We enjoyed it then and still do, whenever I hear it, it brings back the memories and that great nostalgic feeling about that amazing era of music and entertainment in general, the 80s.

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

This track was released 43 years ago. I remember hearing this as a boy and was blown away by the dark mysterious melody. It's one of my all time favourite tracks.
Didn't know Ben Affleck were such a talented singer
@@billyrogers4855 its called a joke mate its where you say something to make some laugh
@@bigb5681 lol, he took it so seriously. No sarcasm once or ever.
@@billyrogers4855 doubt
Ahahahah
🤣 Uguale!
I heard this in the penguin and now it's stuck in my head
Welcome to the party.
Still amazing almost 45 years later
Una linea di basso, una batteria, un sintetizzatore e una voce sintetica, riescono a ricreare il batticuore, lo smarrimento e l' angoscia di sentirsi persi in una foresta labirintica che è puramente mentale.
"A Forest", un capolavoro di una band iconica: The Cure.
Ma perché noi italiani dobbiamo sempre scrivere in italiano IN VIDEO INTERNAZIONALI??? Usa l'inglese, per dio!!!
@@rebel1766 Esattamente, qual è il tuo problema?
One of best songs I've ever heard.. that bass, that BASS!!!
Ssiiíiiiiiiiiiii!excelente!
Been on repeat all day 🔥
@@scorpiosqueenkitchen872 your eyes so much beautiful!😍😍
Muito obrigada pela lembrança
The bass
This song will forever be in the ears of millions.
🎸⏩
L’amour ouf ❤️
- this masterpiece is now 44 years old.
- frightnening.
Help!
Remember Bach and Mozart...
And remember your face as young...
Too right. Cheers mate.
How is this song 40yrs old and still sounds so modern
this song sounds anything but modern
@@positivelastaction3957 Not a bad thing.
indeed,. how does the Cure write a song like this without having a band like the Cure to inspire them into this sound?
Идеи и разработки этой группы повлияли на почти всю музыку,кроме откровенной попсы
Thank you my Mum that I was born in 1964 and spent my 20's listening to great bands like the Cure, post Punk Britain, what a great period. The late seventies was a musical revolution and I'm so glad to have been able to have immersed myself into it...just music, nothing else, C90 or Vinyl, fucking bliss.
The joy it brought me when this song played in the episode. It's a special feeling when it's a song you'd listen to before the show was even announced.
Yes! I heard that bass line and squealed! ❤
I am going through a lot right now and this song just seems so magical. It is like a ray of light in my dark mind. Such a beautiful song.
Be strong...
same, i hope you're doing better.
Were all currently fucked in the head. Goodluck and God bless
Me too Dads dying and this is my favorite
It’s all about proportions and optimism! Nothing last forever. Even the hard time you are going through will eventually end followed by brighten days and the sun will shine on you once again. I promise (-: ☀️☀️☀️
This was insanely good live at Glastonbury 2019. Robert Smiths voice is even better now. Like a fine wine it’s aged really well. Go see them live!
your the 3rd commend i saw about this, makes me want to see them too xD
@@GhalkeLawl just saw them at roskilde great stuff for real
I lost my chance this year and I'm so sad. I hope I can see them soon
So agree with u !
Ikr? I saw them two days ago and he was unreal on stage! Immense talent
This is one of those songs where every instrument comes together so wonderfully while still leaving this vacuous space between them. The bass line is amazing. And that snare! Robert's vocals are eerie and atmospheric. Miraculously composed and performed by one of the greatest bands on the face of the earth. A widely covered song and it's easy to see why.
is that him in the video singing????
@@sleepnomore6065 It is. Young Robert.
@@jerm2011 omg! I never saw him as a youth! I only know one imagine of him. I thought this was a random guy lip-synching 😂
@@sleepnomore6065 no makeup. short hair.
The Penguin has had an amazing soundtrack so far but I was so surprised to hear this gem play! This is my favourite Cure song!
The absolute rarest of moments: witnessing Robert Smith without any makeup and “normal” hair.
Actually just looked in the comments section to ask ' is that him without makeup ' 😂
As a surfer, this song perfectly replicates the feeling of gliding across the face of a wave
surfing is such a cool sport
Thanks Eric. Thanks.
Best live version ruclips.net/video/hnVldyHRcjU/видео.html
👍👍👍
X2
I've heard the song before Eric but it brought it back to my collective consciousness.
@@coryfunk2307 erik helps me to remember
Forerever❤
Vive "l'amour ouf"!
Love the cure
The Penguin + L'amour ouf = here
There are many good songs. But there is not too many good songs that you will never get tired of. This is a masterpiece, and its intro even more
The Cure are kinda masters of making repetition in music successful, they pull you in deeper and deeper into the music, and the forest metaphorically
Such a clever song, for such a young band at the time.
The CURE definitely CURED me
My favourite all time song - gives me goosebumps every time - haunting.. When they toured Australia in 92 he sung this song in memory of a friend who had just died and the tears were streaming down his face and had to take a 5 minute break to compose himself and continue. An amazing privilege to witness that right in front of me...
Westworld, and now the Penguin. This song + HBO = banger. Just wished they used the part at 3:09 because it fits so well as a Peguin theme
I wish I was a teen in the 80’s man, such beautiful music
I was, it was the absolute best! At least you've got the music even now 😊
I was! It was a great time to be alive.
I was. HS and college. The Cure were on my playlist constantly.
This way you get the music without the AIDS epidemic, so, there's that
It was such a great time.... we were very lucky to have these great songs and artists.... but at least you can still listen to them 😊
This song has been the theme of my life. Skating down the street with my very first bright yellow walkman in the late 80's this piece and so many of other Cure songs became anthemic pieces that played in a continuous loop of escapism. Even now as I approach 48, I still skate, though nowhere near as hard, and still love moments alone with these tunes ringing in my ears as I reminise about the past. So evocatively beautiful as an individual song, I get goose bumps every damn time.
@H.G. Bespoke. Thanks for sharing your story as I find myself remembering my best childhood memories through music.
Me too!
This song creates a feeling inside me I can’t quite describe… Robert’s again, again, and again transitioning into that guitar (3:11) is just wonderful 😍💫
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🔥
Genius
Mon adolescence en une musique : (j’ai que 19 ans pourtant)
L’amour, la tristesse, la colère…cette musique a tout simplement vécu avec moi toutes mes émotions ❤
A classic song and still one of the most iconic Cure tracks in their huge, and amazingly worthy catalog.
One of the greatest songs ever made
seriously?
Anyone today? 🖤
Merci au film "l'amour Ouf" de mettre en lumière ce son intemporel ❤🎸🎶
Depuis le film , je n'arrête pas de l'écouter et j'ai appris à connaître le groupe car étant de 1990 , je n'ai pas connu ce groupe, mais ma mère oui très bien! 🙂😉
Song never ages
You know when a song gotta be good? If you can listen to it over and over again without skipping in the middle or somewhere else and always thinking "what a great song this is" every time it is playing and that from the release to almost 40 years later now.
Yes 🎉
The music is so melancholic and haunting. I love it! A timeless classic.
Heard this at the end of the gold
Ashamed to say I hadn’t heard it before even though I was around in the 80’s, what a fantastic track - the cure, I have a different view of them now wow, never too old to hear new things
That drama was brilliant with incredible sound track especially this track.
I never get tired of this song.
Neither Do I
Best song by The Cure, Hands down, they created an entire genre of music with this industrial/synth/goth sound. Absolute trail blazers.
L’amour ouf ✋🏻
C lip 1987....
Best Cure song.
Definitely
maybe :V
Close, but for me it's got to be faith. Best off seventeen seconds though.
Fight. Pictures of you. Just like heaven.
I mean their sound is pretty ripped off. They don't have anything original, but this song is awesome.
Oh man, I recall every time this song came on, whether it was in the clubs we visited or just when we played it in the car or at any party, we had to get out there and dance. What an amazing song and what an amazing band. We enjoyed it then and still do, whenever I hear it, it brings back the memories and that great nostalgic feeling about that amazing era of music and entertainment in general, the 80s.
Never been away the best 3 songs the Cure have ever made are A Forest,Charlotte Sometimes and Primary just brilliant
My favoritest Cure song ever! 🌲💚
Mine too
@@Supercalifragilisticexpial-r2x You got good taste! 🤗
