Awesome The Cure

Lola Young Covers The Cure

Lola Young Covers The Cure

UK singer Lola Young is on fire this year with her breakthrough hit Messy. She stopped by Australia’s Triple J studios to perform the song and also turned in a phenomenal cover of The Cure song Close to Me. Her smooth and sultry interpretation brings a new depth of emotion to the 1985 alt-pop track.

The Cure: Songs of a Lost World

The Cure: Songs of a Lost World

“I’m outside in the dark, wondering how I got so old.”  The Cure not only came up with the most appropriate album title for our hopeless times, but they were generous enough to share the melancholy for free. The band performed all the tracks from Songs of a Lost World in London (along with many other songs) then uploaded the concert to YouTube.

Alternative Pedal Steel Guitar Covers

The twangy sound of a pedal steel guitar is invariably associated with country and bluegrass. But as Noah Faulkner proves, it’s perfectly capable of playing alternative and pop music in the hands of the proper musician. Sit back, click play, and enjoy his covers of Depeche Mode’s Enjoy the Silence, the Cure’s Just Like Heaven, and Don’t Dream Iit’s Over by Crowded House.

Adam Barrett: Acoustic Covers

Adam Barrett: Acoustic Covers

We couldn’t pick just one song from musician Adam Barrett’s YouTube channel, so we’re recommending that you listen to all of them. The talented guitarist and vocalist will fill your ears with warm and soulful sounds through his acoustic covers of tunes by The Beach Boys, The Cure, The Smiths, The Jam, The Beatles, and more.

The Love Cats: Ukulele Edition

The Love Cats: Ukulele Edition

Despite being under lockdown, the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain has been keeping us entertained with a steady series of work from home performances, this time offering up a playful and jaunty cover of The Cure’s 1983 track The Love Cats, with smooth vocals by Laura Currie, who also served as the video’s editor.

The Cure (c. 1979)

The Cure (c. 1979)

Take a trip back nearly 40 years for an early performance from The Cure – as they played A Forest on a live TV broadcast from Paris’ Theatre de l’Empire. We still can’t get over how young and cleancut Robert Smith was. Compare and contrast with this 2016 performance.
