What a great song that is.
I could listen to this all day.
Makes me want to go home and give my two year old a big hug.
I've only heard it a few times, but already I think its the best of 'The Cure' sessions.
Thanks for posting that J.
A Boy I Never Knew
To have his arms around me, to sense his perfect trust
I'd give all I ever had...all I ever had...
I'd love to see him dream, I'd love to watch him sleep
To have his arms around me, ?
Held his arms in mine, sense his perfect trust
I'd give all I ever had for a moment of his love
He's my heart and my soul
He's my blood and my bones
He's my prayers and my hope
My wishes and dreams
Seems so long ago, so long ago...
I'd love to watch him dream, love to see him sleep
To have his arms around me, feel him as he breathes
Hold his hands in mine, sense his perfect trust
I'd give all I ever had for a moment of his love
He's my heart and my soul
He's my blood and my bones
He's my prayers and my hopes
My wishes and dreams
Seems so long ago...
He's my blood and my bones
He's my heart and my soul
He's my prayers and my hopes
My wishes and dreams
A boy I never knew
And the man I'll never know
I'll never know, I'll never know...
To have his arms around me, sense his perfect trust
I'd give all I ever had...

I was just thinking the same thing. My 12 year old called me right before the show tonight to tell me all about his Ice Hockey game that I missed because I am in Mexico. He scored a goal, even though his team lost. Listening to this, I found myself thinking about him....

What a sad things to be..U should give ur boy a big hug when u get back home soon j.. :smth023
Such a sad and beautiful song.
and somewhat personal to me.
even though it is about a a boy/son.
My daughter passed away 7 years ago.
and listening to this song, brought tears to my eyes.
a fantastic song, and yeah it makes me realise how lucky I am to have two wonderful sons who show me so much love and affection and make my life seem complete :)
this song simply makes me cry...
it's wonderful.

Sorry to hear that....I can't even imagine the emotion that a song like this would evoke in your situation. My 4 year old was not breathing on her own for the first 10 minutes of her life. It was devastating watching the doctor trying to get her to breath on her own. I was convinced that she wasn't going to make it, but after 5 days in Natal Intensive Care, she finally pulled through. Had she not made it, I'd probably be a wreck listening to this!
Its such a beautiful song but it makes me cry,
its one of those songs that digs up the past and makes you remember things you tried to forget.
I like this song, is beautiful! :smth020

So true! I'm feeling a bit teary eyed myself now.
I really love this song! So beautiful but so sad. It's really getting to me since I have no kids and I really wish I did. The relationships I have been in the past just didn't work out so I find myself single now & I'm at an age that may not allow me to ever have any of my own. It's making me think what I could have had & what I will be missing when I get older. I completely relate to what Robert is saying. Very deep & personal.
I think this song is going to touch a lot of people in many different ways, so sorry to hear of your loss Cure Freak :cry:
This just kills me emotionally - it's so beautiful and sad that I almost cried :smth020 :smth005
A big hug for Cure Freak :smth056 Somehow this song reminded me of my dear granny that passed away this summer after long and painful desease... :(

I am so sorry to hear about your daughter, CF and that you went through something so awful in your life. I can't even imagine how you've coped. I wish I could give you a huge hug right now!! :smth056
Wow! I feel like such a loser ~ I've never even heard this song!! What album is this on?? :(
It's such a beautiful and moving song. I've just listened to it and i've cried.
The lyrics are wonderful and Robert's voice is awesome.
I love this song! :)
:smth023 Thank you, j ~ for sharing that song! It is so unbelievably sad, I love it!! Thanks again! :smth001

Cure Freak, I am sad too,you are not alone :smth049 it does make me cry this new song, as soon as I heard it,
I have lost a son myself, it makes you think... and remember. The pain is always with you. It is a broken heart. I wonder if this happened to Robert? To feel this?
This is really sad. Beautiful, but sad. :( :smth001

You are so lucky and very fortunate that she survived. Treasure every moment you have with her and your other childern. Because, one day, they maybe gone from your life forever. But remain in your heart. And I hope that day never comes to you or anyone on here, who have children.
Thank you so much silversand, boneheadhaggar, LuvURobert, Sussex, B-Flower, ROGUE and scatcat.
Ans scatcat, so sorry for your loss. The pain is always there. But just have to keep going somehow. And not think so much on the loss, but to treasure the moments you had together. Their smile, their laughter.

sorry for your loss also scatcat, I really cant imagine life without my boys, it is heartbreaking to hear of parents losing a child :cry:

A big :smth056 to you scatcat
This song evokes a lot of empathy in me for some reason, being 19 years old i cant really begin to imagine what the loss of a child is like. Thats always been the strongest thing about this band, they can somehow identify with very personal feelings.
Im sorry to hear about your losses curefreak and scatcat, i dont think anyone can begin to imagine dealing with something like that, serious respect to you.
If they can keep making music as powerful as this, i'll never grow tired of listening to them.

Hi, Scatcat. I am truly sorry to hear that you've also lost a child. That is so tragic for the both of you. I know nothing will make your hearts heal completely, but wish I could give you some big hugs as well!! Isn't it funny how many of their songs can make us feel like crying because we can relate them to a private part of our lives? I guess that's what I like about them so much. :smth001
Big hugs to you, scatcat!!! :smth056
I'M NOT THAT MAD ABOUT THIS SONG
MAYBE BECAUSE I EXPECTED SOMETHING SPECTACULAR (BACAUSE OF A MYTH THAT WAS BUILT UP THESE YEARS)
BUT I FEEL LIKE IT'S A "BLOODFLOWERS" FILLER SONG
IT'S NOT BAD BUT IT'S NOT TOO EXCELLENT EITHER
ALSO, IT MAKES ME THINK OF "GOING NOWHERE"
NICE, LITTLE SONG THAT FITS NEATLY AS A B SIDE...
:smth023
I liked the song a lot.
Better than that Please Project number.
& yeah, it could easily be off Bloodflowers ( at least not WMS eh? ;)), but remember it's an early live version, so the studio version could blow us a away.
However, saying that, the studio version of Bloodflowers pales into the distance once you've heard the live version on Trilogy really (IMHO).

THank you.
And I have to agre, that they have a way of identifing with one's personal feelings. And that is why I love them this band so much.

DIDNT THEY RECORD IT DURING SESSIONS WITH ROSS ROBINSON?
:lol:
Can anyone re-upload this song and maybe post the lyrics too?. For those non-english speakers might be hard to understand all what Bob is saying :smth001

A Boy I Never Knew
To have his arms around me, to sense his perfect trust
I'd give all I ever had...all I ever had...
I'd love to see him dream, I'd love to watch him sleep
To have his arms around me, ?
Held his arms in mine, sense his perfect trust
I'd give all I ever had for a moment of his love
He's my heart and my soul
He's my blood and my bones
He's my prayers and my hope
My wishes and dreams
Seems so long ago, so long ago...
I'd love to watch him dream, love to see him sleep
To have his arms around me, feel him as he breathes
Hold his hands in mine, sense his perfect trust
I'd give all I ever had for a moment of his love
He's my heart and my soul
He's my blood and my bones
He's my prayers and my hopes
My wishes and dreams
Seems so long ago...
He's my blood and my bones
He's my heart and my soul
He's my prayers and my hopes
My wishes and dreams
A boy I never knew
And the man I'll never know
I'll never know, I'll never know...
To have his arms around me, sense his perfect trust
I'd give all I ever had...
wow
thnx 4 this!!
btw, any new songs from 'the cure' sessions?
:roll: But where can I listen to this song???

???? Look a few posts above this....
Thank you J ~ Is such a touching song. :smth020
Really appreciate it :smth045
sorry CF to hear that !!!!
i like the song also, because it reminds me on my son. he is 14 month old.
and it reminds me when my doctor said, that my cancer is back on track.
and i thought, how long can i see my son growing ?
how long can i be part of his live.
but the song shows us, that the cure still can catch us in emotions and makes us cry.
and thats one of the millions reasons why the cure is the best band for me.
OOOhhh drowning.. how my heart leaps out to you.This thread has really turned into an out-pouring of life experiences and from my experience... love of what life really is.. I would like you to think about this.. I in no way diminish your life with your son, or the lfe that is to come.. :smth049 :smth049 :smth049 :smth049 :smth049
Words never comfort you.. people don't understand.. they don't want to talk "about it" because they don't want to upset you.. I remember the Maternal Health Nurse who visited me after my first son had died.. she was traumatised because she was not experienced in grief.. she couldnot find ANY words of comfort.. Yet on the other scale.. there are those who say the MOST inappropriate things such as " It is for the better.. maybe there was something WRONG with the baby"!!! My only support was family and my husband.
There is enough guilt when something like this happens..
I offer you the strength to embrace EVERYDAY that you have. That is what life is about. That is all that matters. Forget about everything else.
Please fight the doubts, the unknown.. because science has it wrong sometimes. your son will never forget you. They remember smells, voices, comfort and security, happiness and laughter.
I am sooo sorry for your situation, promise me that you will keep a positive mind and don't forget to everyday tell your son that he is loved by you. He is special.
My son is my Soul Doctor. I would not be here without him. He knows that. let your son know that. Write it down, record in video, and put aside special keepsakes.. it's very special to my son when I bring keepsakes out to show him how much he means to me.
Oh I wish I could help you more.. :smth059 sending you an angel honey...
:smth083
Thats nice words Lara,
Touches my heart deeply also. A friend of mine died of breast cancer not so long ago, she fought it so hard, so many times, after the birth of her twin daughters,
I thought she had it beaten- well she did for about 4yrs, but it came back also.
But she fought it before when the doctors said she couldnt, she did survive and was very strong.
Her daughters are beautiful 10 yrs old now, she died a few months ago, and i really believe she watches over her children, with love like a guardian angel, love only a mother can feel.
That is a really nice idea to write a letter, and hide a few cherished things for your son to read, when he is ready.
Best wishes and much love.
this turned out to be a very emotionaly and personally thread.
to hear what you are going through life makes this something special.
in may a doctor told me that i have testicular cancer, after running over 2 month from doctor to doctor because of my hurtings. in the moment he told me that i began to fight. never thought there could had been another option (death). i fought 4 cycles of chemotherapy and it looked at the beginning of september like i have won the fight.i was very happy, made plans for my personal cure 2008 tour.
and at the end of september the hurting began again. back in hospital....and the war starts again. cancer wasn´t gone, but we will make another chemotherapy. it will last till february so no live cure for me. and there is still a change of healing because i was so soon in hospital. last week first cycle of chemotheapy ended, and i got so ill, that i had to get back in hospital. where i am isolated since thursday last week. but its going better everyday and maybe isolation is over tomorrow and i will be back home on saturday. i will not fnish the fight until war against my cancer is over. and i happy for everyday i will see my on, life my live, can hear the cure music, enjoy live......
and you helped me a lot with your words. its so nice to see, that people i don´t know talk positiv to me.....
and one thing we have here all in common is the love of the cure. over 20 years this music is a big part of my live and also in this war it helps me again. and so emotional songs like "theboy i never knew" which awakes so much emotion by all of us is wonderfull. you can´t belive how it is to be isolated in hospital, and downloading new cure songs. and that is why i want to thank all of you a thousand times.
and i know it will be a hard war against my cancer, and i am so sad, that i can´t see the cure 2008, i will see them with their next worldtour.
and than i will be at the concert at paris.2010 :smth023
drowning i reely wish u all the best
hope u'll recover soon
'Fight fight fight
Just push it away
Fight fight fight
Just push it until it breaks
Fight fight fight
Don't cry at the pain
Fight fight fight
Or watch yourself burn again
Fight fight fight
Don't howl like a dog
Fight fight
Just fill up the sky
Fight fight fight
Fight til you drop
Fight fight fight
And never never
Never stop'
Agree, this thread has turned into a very emotional one.
drowning, so sorry to hear that you have cancer. But, scatcat said it al and so beautifully, well put. Glad to hear that you will be strong and positive during this time in your life. And things do have a way of turning around. My thoughts will be with you and I wish you the best, as well.
My daughter will always be with me. I know this. I see her every day. I have her urn with her ashes in a vert special place set up for her in my living room. She will always be in my heart and my soul.
Keep holding on Drowning, hold onto the things you know and love,
and fight so hard. Try to stay positive, and dont accept negative as truth.
There are alot of good books too, that can help, with inspiration.
Really glad the music touches you, Dont let go.
I be thinking of you, and wishing you well :)
thanks a lot for our wishes.
maybe tomorrow ican lleave hospital for a weak.
the good thing is, next friday we continue with the second part of the chemotherapy.
i remembering a interview where robert said, that curefans look gloomy and dark but are special, when its time zo fight they fight.(about the sog fight)
and for me there is no alternative !
i want to life my live. enjoy the good things in the wolrd. listen to the cure, listen to the new album which is called "4:32" and wait for the next tour 2009 to see them again live !
i am writing a blog, in german, about my fight against my cancer.
http://bunteeffekte.blog.de
what a wonderful gift...!!! I'm so glad to have listen for the first time that song so close of Robert... incredible setlist that night!!! :smth023
my best wishes for you drowining
drowning~It will be good for you to leave hospital- be able to simply enjoy the colors out there, smell some plants, fresh air.
Color is what i have missed when i have been in hospital, but mostly missed the outside smells, fresh smells, simple things like that we all take for granted.
I wish i could read your blog, i think i get a friend to translate, I have been a fan of the Cure for about the same time 22ish years.
And Bill and Ted- Excellent adventure, i think, but the rest i will work out.
Lots of love Jenn
rogue, yes the smell of nature is one of the best things. colours, and the view ...... i will enjoy the simply thing in life for the week in freedom, before starting second part of my chemotherapy with my soldiers which are fighting in my blood
It's nice that you can go home for a while and see your family. Enjoy week at home :)
Thanks for the link to your blog site.
I've read your posts till today and of course i will read them further on :)
Wish you all the best and a lot of power to fight against cancer :)
many greetings silversand

Me too or rather I think the same.The song would have had potential
as a B-Side or album track.What a pity. :(
This song makes my stomach turn into butterflies.
Seriously, about the son he never had. It's just sad.
This has made me cry, and Lord knows how many times. I don't have any children (ofc xD) but I certainly feel the feeling of the song. :( :smth089
