The Cure Play Comeback Album ‘Songs of a Lost World’ in Full at London Concert: 7 Best Moments
The Cure celebrated the release of "Songs of a Lost World" at an intimate show in London on Friday evening (Nov.1) Here's are the best moments.
In the build-up to the Friday (Nov. 1) release of Songs of a Lost World, the group’s first LP in 16 years, the band played an intimate set in London for the BBC, which aired on Halloween Eve on TV and radio. Specifically its macabre opening lines which set a tone of reflection: “This is the end of every song that we sing/ The fire burned out to ash and the stars grown dim with tears/ Cold and afraid, the ghosts of all that we’ve been/ We toast with bitter dregs, to our emptiness”. Songs of a Lost World is indebted to their 1989 masterpiece Disintegration, a perfect record that fused hit singles like “Lovesong” — which landed at No.2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart — with atmospheric dazzlers, like the eight-minute long title track; both LPs swim in the same murky waters.
