When we look back at it all,
As I know we will
You and me, wide-eyed
I wonder will we really remember
How it feels to be this alive
And I know we have to go
I realise
We only get to stay so long
We always have to go back to real lives
Where we belong
Where we belong
Where we belong
When we think back to all this
And I'm sure we will
Me and you, here and now
Will we forget the way
It really is
Why it feels like this
And how?
And we always have to go
I realise
We always have to say goodbye
Always have to go back to real lives
But real lives are the reason why
We want to live another life
We want to feel another time
Another time
Another time
To feel another time
When we look back at it all
As I know we will
You and me, wide-eyed
I wonder will we really remember
How it feels to be this alive
And I know we have to go
I realise
We always have to turn away
Always have to go back to real lives
But real lives are why we stay
For another dream, another day
For another world, another way
For another way
One last time before it's over
One last time before the end
One last time before it's time to go again

| MilesW (Earth (Currently Germany)) | Posted: Apr 04, 2013 - 09:59 Man, I never appreciated the Cure back "in the day" - this is a great song! |
| misterbearbaby (Marina del Rey, California) | Posted: Mar 19, 2013 - 17:44 A fine quality recording, very lively with a good sense of space. |

| terrapin52 | Posted: Oct 31, 2011 - 17:35 Bands like The Cure see music as an opportunity to make something beautiful and timeless. |

| SuzG (at my desk) | Posted: May 11, 2011 - 09:14 Trying to give this a chance, but his voice just brings about a visceral reaction. And not a good one. |
| sirdroseph (Yes) | Posted: May 11, 2011 - 09:14 Great guitar in this one! |

| ick (The 619) | Posted: Mar 09, 2011 - 06:42 Maybe this song sounds like "Pictures of You" because its meant to. "The albums Pornography, Disintegration and Bloodflowers are inextricably linked in so many ways, and the realisation of this Trilogy show is one of the highlights of my time in The Cure." - Robert Smith "Pictures of You" was on Disintegration and "Out of This World" is on Bloodflowers. Two different parts of the Trilogy. |
| whtahtefcuk (Flagstaff, AZ, USA) | Posted: Mar 09, 2011 - 06:36 All Cure reminded me of High School... and my first "real" girl friend. Good times! |

Why not play the original, which is so much better? I was wondering if anyone else heard the undertones of "Pictures Of You" in this one, but it would appear you're the only other person to mention it. I had never noticed it when I heard this song before, though it was immediately recognizable to me as a tune by The Cure. I don't mind them borrowing from themselves to make this one, it has a completely different cadence and pace. Every artist sounds like themselves if they have any sort of coherent style (not that coherent style is everything - consider Madonna or David Bowie being masters of reinvention, but I digress). I'd agree that this song does sound a bit like a track that could have been on Disintegration, but it really does not sound like a rehash of Pictures of You unless maybe that's the only other Cure song you'd heard, in which case I could understand the confusion....  |
| motorichi (formerly known as Owensmouth) | Posted: Jan 05, 2011 - 15:51 LOVE!!! |
| sirdroseph (Yes) | Posted: Nov 19, 2010 - 04:58 This is The Cure at their very, very best!  |
| duchamp (Hardwood Hammock) | Posted: Oct 02, 2010 - 17:17 love this. |
| nerakdon (Colorado) | Posted: Jun 28, 2010 - 20:13 I like the sound painting in the piano line, especially that they made it wrap in 3d without sounding like a 4 year old is at the mixing board. It's subtle but effective. |

| fimo (up in the Eifel hills, Germany) | Posted: Sep 17, 2009 - 20:44 what i need here is a new rating between 9 and 10: 9 - Outstanding 9.5 - Out Of This World 10 - Godlike (but there should be no inflation of 10's, so - rounded - it's a 9) |

| rickhoran (Eastern PA) | Posted: Apr 30, 2008 - 09:43 this ain't as great as what you mentioned but its not bad, a 6. and porcupine tree is better and better all the time. horstman wrote: I so loved the Cure when they were young and fresh. Boys don't Cry, Faith, Seventeen Seconds, Pornography were such phenomenal albums : dark, moody, introspective.
Then they became masters of pop rock of the later eighties. What a complete turnoff. I see bands as capsules of time. Echo and the Bunnymen are the same way. The early stuff was so energetic, their later albums were like doing exercises that they all knew : going through the motions. Enjoy and love bands for their time in their glory. On another note, there is a band I love that has gotten better with every album : Porcupine Tree! Guess that's why they call it progressive. It just keeps better and better. |

I'm pleased to say I totally agree with you Horstman...in fact I see you in a different light..you're a sensitive soul really.
