Here's a stupid question: Can I buy the song? Or do I have to listen on YouTube until November?

you mean in physical format? no

only available in streaming platforms https://thecure.lnk.to/Alone

Personally I'm pretty sure "Endsong" will be the, erm, endsong of the album. Robert has certainly chosen "Alone" as the first and "Endsong" as the last one, a long time ago! (And rightly so, imho.)

Here's a stupid question: Can I buy the song? Or do I have to listen on YouTube until November?

To be honest, I don't know how it works with e.g. "Apple music", maybe you can buy a download there?

Good to know, because today I wondered for a moment if there would be B-sides of some kind.

Sadly, the good old days of b-sides seem to be over.

what is missing here, what is really missing is a living melody, a melody that comes not from the skill to write music, but from the soul...

IMO, if they missed this with 'Alone', they definitely achieved it with 'All Ever I Am'
