that's definitely "The Big hand" from London 1991 and also the versions of "Push" from 1986. Drums there are absolutely incredible!

Sorry Tristan, I can't narrow it down... :lol:  I would consider all of his picks as among my favorites, but there are sooooo many more!!!

I think that over 80% of the songs could make my "favorites" list. This is why The Cure is by far my favorite band!

Hands down for me would be A Forest played live.  Nothing else can top this in my book.  If I had to choose a recorded track, right now it would be either Untitled or This Twilight Garden.

Steve Severin only played bass on the Flexipop version of Lament (available on Join the Dots).

Post by: yrbadrenau on November 06, 2005, 00:09:32
my favourite song in a studio recording version is ... Faith.
but as the same time i write it i have doubts in my mind... there are so many. 3 imaginary boys, seventeen seconds, M, sinking, other voices, siamese twins, the figurehead, the holy hour, a strange day, piggy in the mirror, lament, just one kiss, one hundred years, accuracy, secrets, the drowning man, et caetera...
for the live recording : M in Edimburg (16/05/81): the most beautiful and perfect guitar solo from Mr Smith.

like most bands i like, i can never decide what is my favourite song of all-time by them, because it either changes from week to week or they just have so many good songs.

but i think my favourites would have to be:
- Just Like Heaven
- Lullaby
- A Letter To Elise
- Charlotte Sometimes
- A Forest
- From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea
- End Of The World
- Wrong Number
- Pictures Of You

but as a fairly new fan, whenever i manage to get another album, i'm sure i will find more favourites.

If I had to pick one, it's High. More than one, forget it. I could never sort them into any order, and would always be remembering others to add. I think it's far easier to choose the ones that I don't particularly care for.

edit: Although...if there was no High, I might have to go with Bananafishbones. Or Icing Sugar. Or Doing the Unstuck. Or This Twilight Garden. Or maybe I'd better stop before this list explodes.

It's hard to choose...
The Same Deep Water as You?
bloodflowers?
Anniversary?

At the moment the song that drive me mad and make me cry is Last day of summer...

This is so hard.
I think I'd go for Bloodflowers. Then again, there are simply SO many of them that speak to me deeply so in the end it's very hard to choose. Whole of Disintegration could be listed as my favourite songs, as well.

Lovecats is a classic example of a GOOD radio-friendly song by The Cure. I mean, it's so original, and though not my all-time favorite, I definately respect the band's adaptability in those situations!

10.The Baby Screams-I LIKE TO YELL TOO! The Guitars after "Strike Me Dead" are sick.

9.Same Deep Water As You-The Rain sounds refreshing, but the song takes you on a journey. You can not be depressed after listening to this song.

8.From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea-Wailing Guitars and Wailing Vocals.

7.Prayers For Rain-The Keyboards are so haunting in a melody.

6.Primary-Short, Simple Cut, Good Point, Best Guitar Intro Ever.

5.Other Voices-The part of the song after the Merry Christmas Verse, the ringing guitars nver fail to give me the chills. Also, the best drums.

3.Disintegration-Bass Line. And the 4th verse.....

2.A Letter To Elise- Always so emotional and heartfelt. Every Cure Fan loves it.

1.High-Song about clear devotion and with so many layers, you can hear something new almost every time. (Mainly the Galore or SIngle Version. There is nothing better then listening to this song on a nice, breezy winter night with a clear sky.

One song? You're KILLING me here...

I'll venture to post a gold top 10, without any hierarchical order...by the way, the whole Disintegration album counts as one favorite song, right? No? Alright then, here goes:

---
One Hundred Years (Or "one more day of this and I'll kill you!" The ultimate doomsday anthem...)

Burn (Written on demand, and so friggin' good, both lyrics-wise and melody-wise? Get outa here!)

Charlotte Sometimes (Those first notes almost makes my knees give every time..."She was crying and crying...")

In Between Days (Happy-sad embodied)

Just Like Heaven (Immortal pop)

A Forest (Can't be a perfect Cure concert without it)

Lullaby (Robert's least favorite on Disintegration, but he can't take it back now! Such a unique, creepy and, with the way Robert sings it, strangely erotic song...)

Untitled (I love you more than I can say...)

Pictures of You (Yes, I see the pictures...)

Plainsong (I asplode...That atmospheric Disintegration sound sure takes you places)
---

Then there's of course The Kiss and To Wish Impossible Things and...

...Backing away from the keyboard now...

4. disintegration (live in leipzig 1990)

I heard it for the first time yesterday on youtube. Wow. Explosive live version. Never heard it played like that before. Made me see the song in a completely different light. It's silly, but quite a few times when I've listened through the Disintegration album, I've skipped that song, or only listened to parts of it, because of Robert's brutally honest lyrics. Right now, this live version is definitely in my top 20.

It is too difficult to narrow down one favorite song by The Cure, for I think everything is fantastic in its own realm. I can maybe narrow down a favorite song from each album (excluding b-sides, best of compilations, live versions, etc.) but this will be quite hard.

Three Imaginary Boys-Boy's Don't Cry
Secrets-Seventeen Seconds
Other Voices-Faith
A Strange Day-Pornography
Lament-Japanese Whispers
Bird Mad Girl-The Top
Close To Me-Head on the Door
All I Want-Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
Homesick-Disintegration
Open-Wish
The 13th-Wild Mood Swings
Watching Me Fall-Bloodflowers
Anniversary-The Cure
TBD-

5 (very) personal favorites  somehow couldn't do without:

jumping someone else's train
a short term effect
homesick
push


but that aside, i think their all-time best song has to be 'a forest'...

Title: Re: Which is Your All-Time Fav Cure song?
Post by: moutheyesheart on September 08, 2008, 11:43:22
it changes from time to time, but I'll try:

1. Underneath the stars - the song I always waited for...

2. Scared as you

3. A chain of flowers

4. Disintegration
5. A strange day
6. Waiting
7. Plainsong
8. Faith
9. Truth, goodness & beauty
10.The figurehead
11.Want
12.Maybe someday
13.Just one kiss
14.Last dance
15.Trust
16.Lost
17.End
18.The same deep water as you
19.The kiss
20.10:15 Saturday night

All these songs are either sharing the ability to take me to a place, I'd rather be OR they simply know me. Almost every Cure-song is capable of doing that in fact, but most of them are bound to a special mood or situation. these ones always do.

Well, there's quite an eclectic choice, that one. I guess probably there are very specific personal reasons for each one of them, but don't worry, I won't be asking for you to reveal them...

The answer is that i don't (or shall i say that i can't!)
have (only one) fav.
It changes from hour to hour,it depends on my mood & the things that happen in my life...
But if you want to know the last 3 songs for this past day so then they were:
1.'Just Like Heaven' (original version/live version from Toronto '04/acoustic version from Mtv '91)
2.'The Figurehead' (how it couldn't have been?)
3.'FAiTH' (live version from Festival '05)
p.s. : i'm sure that tommorow will be different song(S)

Post by: othervoices13 on December 09, 2010, 03:07:51
I have to qualify my answer...it was easy to choose "Push" because Head on the Door was one of my first Cure albums (20 years ago). Also there is so much emotion in that song - exuberance, longing, just kind of a "bursting at the seams" feeling that we've all had. But (almost) all Cure songs connect with me at some level...The best of the rest (My Other Favorites)

Lullaby
Homesick
All Cats Are Grey
Pornography
How Beautiful You Are
Lament
Torture
M
Primary
Untitled
The Walk

It 's really hard to choose one song.
In my personal ranking the first place is for "A Forest". This song can give me so much energy every time.
It 's simply wonderful! Soon after they are "Lullaby", "A Strange Day"
and "Burn" ...(from the soundtrack of the movie "The Crow")

"Disintegration." Such a soul-crushingly beautiful song. It takes all that's great about The Cure's entire discography (extended intros, frantic lyricism, and stunning climaxes) and rolls them all into one perfect song.

I really like Strange Day, The Figurehead and The same deep water as you. These songs can't be boring for me on any time

Just One Kiss (12" version).  The extended intro is critical.

Hands down for me would be A Forest played live.  Nothing else can top this in my book.  If I had to choose a recorded track, right now it would be either Untitled or This Twilight Garden.


Yes! Live: a forest
Recorded: plainsong
Honorable mention: cut here

This twilight garden, chain of flowers, halo, breathe? Crazy that the cure's b-sides could be so amazing. If all their a-sides were eliminated from history by some strange time-travel event, and all that was left was the B's, they'd still be my favorite band! Ha.

If anyone saw Ant-man, when 'Siri' misunderstood yellowjacket's threat to disintegrate Ant-man and played disintegration (plainsong) instead, I almost lost my mind!  Two miniature dudes battling with the contents of a briefcase flying around them, while my fave cure song played in the background was one of the greatest moments I've ever had in a movie theatre:0)

probably "A Forest" or "Push." Those two are definitely my favorites. Perfect songs imo

This is my favourite track also. Has to be the extended version!

There hasn't been a new Cure album since 2008's 4:13 Dream, but that didn't stop them from launching a huge world tour earlier this year. Every night they play for three hours, mixing in big hits like "Pictures of You" and "Friday I'm in Love" with lesser-known songs like "At Night," "Primary" and "Out of This World." Each show wraps up with "Boys Don't Cry." We asked our readers to select their favorite Cure songs. Here are the results.

It's just amazing how many good songs he's written, impossible to chose one, or even ten. Here's a few: Fire in cairo, M,The holly hour, Just one kiss, Figurehead, The wailling wall, birdmad girl, the exploding boy, A night like this, How beautiful you are, Untitled, Doing the unstuck, Gone!, Bare, This, Here and Now, With You ...

Agree with Oh No. It is impossible to choose one.

Maybe it is easier for other bands , but almost each Cure album is radically different from the others, each has it's own mood, so i cannot decide if i like more the pop/frash/happy mood of Friday i'm in love ( a genius pop song) , the absolutely brilliant 'A forest' (especially live, that song creates such a dense atmosphere...),
the lovely Just like heaven , the depressing from the edge of the deep green sea,  the majestuous Plainsong, or the almost perfect Pictures of you,the madness of A man inside my mouth.... just to name a few.
I can't. I'd rather give you a playlist with at least 20/30 songs (and still have a hard time deciding)

Simply a single song with all the ones they wrote !  :smth017
I think we have to choose the song of the moment... But it's true that there's one that made "Bang" in my heart (orchestration and lyrics) "This Is A Lie"

Almost all Cure songs are my favorite Cure songs...Over the years my favorite Cure song has changed. It once was Catch, Trust, Lovecats...then for a while it was How Beautiful You Are. Recently it's been Out of This World (oh my gosh this song is so incredible - reminds me of Nick Drake meets Pink Floyd, yet still has its own unique quality)...but I think my all time favorite is The Caterpillar.

Keep Cure questions coming! It always brightens my day to get to think about what I love about The Cure. <3 :-)  :smth020

Pictures of You - the one that introduced me to the band.

10:15 Saturday Night - I'll never forget the shock of "getting" this song after a few listens, how much there's going on there.

The Caterpillar - in my opinion, it is among the very greatest pop songs of all time 

Wailing Wall - Jerusalem as seen through a drug induced haze can inspire the most beautiful music apparently

Give Me It - Robert's Captain Beefheart takeoff is shockingly good

If Only Tonight We Could Sleep - another gorgeous piece of oriental(ist) psychedelia, completely unlike anything anyone was doing at the time

Speak My Language - my most recent discovery (i.e. a song I was dimply aware of but never realized how good it was)

Of course they vary all over time, but as of now...

1) Piggy In The Mirror - One of the songs where we get the closest to "hear" Robert telling us "I'm in the song and it hurts". The Top always got panned, very unfairly in my opinion. To me it was always a brilliant album. Only recently there seems to be more appreciation for it.

2) Pictures Of You - That 6-string bass is simply unforgettable. Never heard anything as close to an instrument actually crying, and I suppose I never will.
3) Closedown - Dunno why, but it always had a special something for me.
4) Disintegration - Needs no explanation.
5) A Thousand Hours - Never paid much attention to it, but it's growing on me.
6) Kyoto Song - A very dark song disguised in exotism. Hospitals are exotic, I suppose... if you look at it from a certain point of view.
7) Subway Song - Pay attention to the Three Imaginary Boys lyrics... and they're absolutely NOT light. In fact, Robert hasn't written many happy songs, and many of the poppier stuff has actually a twist, albeit not always evident. This song is about an assault...
8) Like Cockatoos - And this song is about another? assault.
9) At Night - Nice subtext.
10) The Hanging Garden - More subtext and... regret?
11) Cold - Regret... abortion? 
12)  A Strange Day - I love the middle eight guitar part, gives me the chills, Phil Thornalley and Robert were brilliant there. Live it loses intensity, I think.
12) One Hundred Years - The opposite of Disintegration ("It doesn't matter if we all die" vs "How the end always is").
13) The Caterpillar - Brilliant... and on drugs. And contains trousers as an instrument!!
14) The Funeral Party - Abortion?
15) The Birdmad Girl - The inevitable companion to Piggy In The Mirror.
16) Pornography - Robert realising he's doing no good. It's funny, but Pornography is perhaps (just a little bit!!!) less dark than Disintegration. I mean, the lyrics. It's the music that is darkest.
17) Boys Don't Cry - Lennon/McCartney would have been envious.
18) Charlotte Sometimes - Ouch! Wife-beating? Terrific (and horrific) song!!
19) Homesick - Sex!! The two consecutive "honey" are fantastic. But the song is dark as can be.
20) Untitled - Incoming death. Cancer? This is the darkest song ever, by anyone. Spine-tingling on a good day. On a bad day, simply unbearable.

My all-time favourite Cure song (which is also just my all-time favourite song) is The Figurehead, from 1982's Pornography album.

I was too young to know who the Cure were in 1982, but discovered that album, and this song ,as one of the final pieces of the back catalogue puzzle I put together through 1988.

I wrote some of the lyrics, all Kiss Me script black on purple-painted wall, that same year.

"Too many secrets
Too many lies
Writhing with hatred
Too many secrets
Please make it good tonight
But the same image haunts me
In sequence
In despair of time"

I was already in despair of time.
