"Pictures of You" is a poignant track from The Cure's 1989 album "Disintegration." Its emotive lyrics and lush instrumentation encapsulate the album's themes of memory and longing, cementing it as a fan favorite.
Shoutout to @GothAndy for generously supporting me by purchasing my track, Holy Grail! Thank you so much!
Andy is a multi-instrumentalist making hypnotic alternative music with a goth tinge reminiscent of #TheCure. While not on Bandcamp yet, you can check out his stuff on YouTube and Soundcloud. Fingers crossed that Bandcamp continues to be awesome so Andy can get his music released on there, too!
🎧 A post with a path through the woods by @Waitnwallflower reminded me of "A Forest" by #TheCure. The official video on YT is low-quality (tinny), but I found this tech remix of the song by #BlankAndJones I like.
"Blank & Jones feat. #RobertSmith - A Forest" (2003).
You directed The Cure’s 1986 concert film, The Cure In Orange. And now, 33 years later, here you are again, directing their latest.
I’ve read some stuff on Twitter saying, ‘I don’t wanna see #TheCure in daylight, they’re a night band,’ and they are, but they’ve also got these amazing, uplifting, sun-drenched songs as well. I think the shift from daylight to the evening was very important in terms of the film. That was the story I wanted to tell. Robert makes reference to that early on, he says something like, ‘Oh, the sun’s gone down.’ It was draining his energy before.
What I wanted to do was capture two things about the band. One was their epic music – I think there’s no one as epic as them. Also, the day before the show, I sat in the middle of the band while they rehearsed the entire set in this tiny room and I thought, what I want to do is capture their relationship, so I shot it, hopefully, like a piece of drama. You feel their musical relationship through it and that’s what I was after. I tried to film it from the point of view of it being in the best seat – the seat I had in rehearsal. How many thousands of Cure fans would have died to have had that place? So I wanted to make the film from that point of view.
