Girls and ‘Boys Don’t Cry'… Yes, The Cure is back! 😎🤘
‘Songs of a Lost World’ is the upcoming fourteenth studio album by The Cure. It’s already been 16 years since the band released their last album 4:13 Dream. WOW! 👀
Many of the songs were played live during The Cure's 2022-2023 Shows of a Lost World tour, giving fans an early taste of the album's dark beauty.
Songs of a Lost World captures Robert Smith at his most emotionally turbulent, created while he mourned the loss of his mother, father, and brother.
Longtime band members joined Smith on this masterpiece: Simon Gallup on bass, Jason Cooper on drums, Roger O’Donnell on keyboards, and Reeves Gabrels on guitar.
Here are some recommended tracks from Songs of a Lost World that you MUST hear:
- "Alone" is the first single and opening track, inspired by the Ernest Dowson poem “Dregs”.
- "And Nothing Is Forever" is a slow, string-heavy piece played live for the first time on October 10th in Stockholm. It's a song about a promise Smith made to be by someone’s side on their deathbed.
- "A Fragile Thing" is the album’s second single, a fabulous song for rock lovers.
- "Endsong", the closing track, was inspired by a starlit night that reminded Smith of a similar evening in 1969, stargazing in the backyard with his father as Apollo 11 landed on the moon.
Robert Smith: “I am outside in the dark, wondering how I got so old”.
