ROBERT AND ME
THIS IS A PICTURE GALLERY ABOUT ROBERT AND ME
EVEN I THINK IT'S INCREDIBLY INSANE
the point you ask....well...dunno....it's just that this is something that i need to do...insane you say....well yes maybe....but this is my way of being...
EACH PICTURE OF ROBERT AND ME IS ONE THAT SYMBOLIZES SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO ME...MAY IT BE A SONG OR ERA OR LOOK OF THE CURE AND ROBERT SMITH...
DISINTEGRATION...MY INTRODUCTION TO THE CURE...
1989 WAS AN IMPORTANT YEAR FOR ME AS I ENTERED MY TEENAGE YEARS...DISCOVERING NEW THINGS..NEW MUSIC...NEW LANDS...
MOVING FROM GERMANY TO AMERICA...EVERYTHING CHANGED FOR ME...THE
ONLY THING THAT REMAINED WAS MY FAMILY...AND THE CURE
DISINTEGRATION WAS AND IS A VITAL PART OF ME...WHO I AM...AND HOW I CAME TO BE...
MY FAVORITE SONGS ON THIS ALBUM ARE "THE SAME DEEP WATER AS YOU"
AND "PRAYERS FOR RAIN"
I ALSO ENJOY "DISINTEGRATION" TREMENDOUSLY...
THE WALK...HAPPY...HAPPY...POP...THIS AND JAPANESE WHISPERS IS CURE POP...
IN HIGH SCHOOL FOR SOME REASON I TURNED INSANELY HAPPY...OR MAYBE JUST INSANE...
IN ANY CASE MY FAVORITE SONG FROM THAT TIME WAS "LOVE CATS"
ONCE MIXED UP CAME OUT I ALSO STARTED ENJOYING "THE WALK" TREMENDOUSLY AS JUST
A FEW NOTES OF IT WOULD SEND SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE
THE SONG THAT HAS THE MOST EFFECT ON ME THOUGH IS "THE UPSTAIRS ROOM"...
JUST THE PHRASE "...and I go wet with the first clash of thunder..."
AND I CAN SEE EXACTLY WHAT ROBERT IS TALKING ABOUT...
THEN CAME WISH WHICH BROUGHT THE CURE BACK INTO THE PUBLIC'S HEART AND BORE ITSELF EVEN DEEPER INTO MY HEART...
THIS ALBUM IS OFTEN DISMISSED FOR REASONS I DON'T UNDERSTAND...PEOPLE THAT SAY THAT THIS ALBUM IS TOO "LIGHT" MUST NOT HAVE
LISTENED TO IT ALL...SINCE THE SONGS "OPEN" AND "FROM THE EDGE
OF THE DEEP GREEN SEA" LEAVE NO DOUBT IN MIND THAT THE CURE IS GENIUS
AND THEN THE LEVEL OF INSANITY PEAKED WITH THE RELEASE OF WILD MOOD SWINGS AND
THE SUBSEQUENT PROMOTION AND TOURS
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE HAD I BEEN ABLE TO ENJOY THE CURE
ON ALL LEVELS OF COMPREHENSIVENESS AND NEVER HAVE I BEEN SO
GREATFUL AS TO WHO THEY ARE AND WHO I AM...
SEEING THE CURE IN CONCERT ARE SOME OF MY MOST WONDERFUL EXPERIENCES IN LIFE
I SAW THEM AT THE FORUM (LA) AND IRVINE IN 1996 AND IN IRVINE AGAIN IN 1997...
THE LA SHOW WAS THE BEST BUT THE IRVINE (1997) SHOW HAD SPECIAL MEANING AS IT SHOWED
THE POWER OF THE CURE FANS AS THEY RULED OVER THE *gasp* KROQ CROWD...
