The Cure Tease Epic New ‘Songs of a Lost World’ Track ‘Endsong’

The Cure unveiled another new song from their upcoming 'Songs of a Lost World' studio album on Monday morning (Sept. 20), the ominous 'Endsong.'

“I mean, if I have one regret it’s that I said anything at all about it in 2019,” he added of an interview he did five years ago in which he blamed himself for “ going back over and redoing them[the songs]” endlessly during a time when he was grieving the losses of his mother, father and brother. “There are various points where I thought, ‘I think we’re gonna make a new album’… and then… for various reasons other things have happened and the idea’s been sort of pushed back.” During the course of the band’s nearly half-century career, Smith said the key to completing a record has been him nailing down both the opening and closing song on a project. It features contributions from Smith, Simon Gallup (bass), Jason Cooper (drums), Reeves Gabriel (guitar) and Roger O’Donnell (keyboards); the latter longtime member recently announced that he’d been diagnosed with rare and “aggressive” blood cancer a year ago, but added that “I’m fine and the prognosis is amazing”.
