By Dr. Robert Smith by Dr. Robert Smith Table of Contents Chapter 1: Disintegration Page 1 Last Dance Plainsong Chapter 2: Bloodflowers Page 2 Out of This World Maybe Someday There Is No If… Chapter 3: The Cure Page 3 Lost The End of the World Us or Them Acknowledgements Page 4 Chapter 1: Disintegration Last Dance I'm so glad you came I'm so glad you remembered Disintegration was Robert Smith's thematic return to a dark and gloomy aesthetic that The Cure had explored in the early 1980s. To see how we're ending Our last dance together Plainsong "I think it's dark and it looks like rain," you said "Plainsong", the album's opener, "set the mood for Disintegration perfectly," according to journalist Jeff Apter, by "unravelling ever so slowly in a shower of synths and guitars, before Smith steps up to the mic, uttering snatches of lyrics ('I'm so cold') as if he were reading from something as sacred as the Dead Sea Scroll." "And the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world," you said "And it's so cold it's like the cold if you were dead," and then you smiled for a second. Chapter 2: Bloodflowers Out of this World One last time before it's over One last time before the end One last time before it's time to go again... Maybe Someday Yeah maybe someday is the end Oh maybe someday is when it all stops Or maybe someday always comes again... There is no if… There is no if... Just and There is no if… Chapter 3: The Cure Lost And I stare... But... I can't find myself I can't find myself I can't find myself I can't find myself I got lost in someone else The End of the World Yeah maybe someday is the end Oh maybe someday is when it all stops Or maybe someday always comes again... Us or Them I don't want your "us or them" No I don't need your "us or them" Oh I don't want your "us or them" I don't need your "us or them" As the only way this ever ends is "me" .

  • V&A Acquires the Glastonbury Festival Archive
    V&A acquires the Glastonbury Festival Archive The V&A is delighted to announce a collaboration with Glastonbury Festival to create an archive reflecting more than 40 years of diverse and creative performance. Glastonbury Festival is the longest-running popular music and performing arts festival in the world. Set up in 1970 by Michael Eavis on Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset – the Eavis’s family farm for four generations - the Festival is now attended by around 175,000 people annually. It has a long and unique history of hosting music, dance, comedy, theatre, circus, cabaret and other arts and collaborating with artists, set designers and craftspeople. Many distinguished names have performed at the summer festival over the last four decades including Beyoncé, Bjork, Blondie, Marc Bolan, Coldplay, The Cure, Jay-Z, Paul McCartney, Van Morrison, New Order, Oasis, Radiohead, The Rolling Stones, Toots and the Maytals, Velvet Underground and Amy Winehouse. This eclectic archive includes a range of material, from programmes and posters from every festival since 1970, designs for the Festival identity, interviews, unseen film and photographs, correspondence, t-shirts, tickets and other memorabilia. Personal accounts and documents trace the origins of the Festival and festival maps reveal how it has grown and developed within the landscape. Press cuttings document the relationship of the Festival with the local community and stories that captured the nation. The working processes of the Festival will be captured in the archive with original backstage passes, photographs and performers’ set-lists. The archive also includes photographs that reveal the evolution of the legendary Pyramid stage since its creation in 1971 to a permanent stage – also briefly used as a cattle shed in 1981.

  • My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Last Sunday, As I Was Walking out Of
    Homily for the Diocesan Youth Conference Carlinville The Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year A March 1, 2014 + Most Reverend Thomas John Paprocki Bishop of Springfield in Illinois My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, last Sunday, as I was walking out of a restaurant in Chicago, the hostess made a comment about all of the negative things that are happening in the world. She lamented the fact that the news is filled with story after story about bad things. She even asked the question with a bit of despair in her voice: “What’s happening to this world?!?” Such a reaction is not uncommon particularly among older people as they see the values that were so dominant in their earlier years seemingly being overturned in the younger generations. As a result, many of these people have a less than optimistic outlook regarding the future and may even be critical of young people in general. It is, of course, unfair to make such generalizations about young people. In fact, many young people share these views. A Rasmussen poll this week had only 32% of those polled saying the country is headed in the right direction, with 61% saying 2 we’re on the wrong track. A Gallup poll in December had only 39% of respondents saying that they saw America in a positive position, with less than half thinking it will be better in five years.1 We cannot be blind to the fact that there are some elements of truth in these observations, elements which should cause each of us, young and old, to consider how we should respond to these challenges in our world.

They had their own sound, an eerie glamour surrounding a dark whimsicality, yet fans flocked to them throughout the '80s and '90s. Commercial or cult favorites, they're impressive as being one of the '80s' seminal bands who culled more than 30 critical singles. Compilations like 1986's Staring at the Sea: The Singles and 1997's Galore showcased the Cure's accessibility; therefore, having a solid greatest-hits collection might be a bit nonessential. Then again, releasing an album like this at the tip of the new millennium calls for a celebration, and that's what the Cure did.
