It was actually Robert Smith's birthday on Friday but Eternal Vampire Prince won out. Anyway, this was actually taken from the crowd. Even though I had a photopass for the music festival he was headlining, he decided sort of last minute he would not allow any photographers in the pit. I am not sure why but maybe it had something to do with a hairspray issue (that's my wild stab at a guess and/or my attempt at humor). ANYWAY, I have been a Cure fan since I was a cool goth teenager before all my high school classmates discovered that poser Marilyn Manson and thought it was also cool to wear black and then suddenly I was not the only one in my school looking like I had spent all night reading Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton and I stopped wearing black for awhile because I was so annoyed but I didn't ever stop listening to The Cure.
Anyway, I hope he had a nice birthday on Friday. There was recently some drama about the cost of concert tickets and I wish people like Robert Smith and Taylor Swift who actually have some pull would put their foot down or just cut out Ticketmaster all together. Then, we could all enjoy the glorious hairspray. And, also the music.
I realize I am not funny.

Day 1 of 20 of albums that influenced my musical tastes. I'll start with Standing on a Beach. I remember listening this CD everyday in my high school years, in my house or in my friend's room, feeding our minds with these dark sounds and some bright musical notes, creating our perfect soundtrack for the teenager.
The album was titled Staring at the Sea in CD format in some countries is the first greatest hits album by the English band the Cure, released in the United States on 15 May 1986 by Elektra Records and in the United Kingdom on 19 May 1986 by Fiction Records, marking a decade since the band's founding in 1976.

I felt like I could die
Yesterday I got so old
It made me want to cry..."

"I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel
Remembering you standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in, holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering you running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
You screamed at the make-believe, screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage to let it all go
Remembering you, fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white, so delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you how you used to be
Slow drowned, you were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes, but I never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you
Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart.
My pictures of you"
(The Cure)

Lovesong
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again
However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you
Fly me to the moon
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again
However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you

We have been experience some extreme weather in this area.
With scorching temperatures above 42 degrees Celsius (108 degrees Fahrenheit) and predicted 45 degrees for the weekend, with the thermic sensation over 50 degrees, the air is so heavy. I remember that in The Stranger ( L'Étranger, lit. 'The Foreigner'), also published in English as The Outsider, a 1942 novel written by French author Albert Camus, the main character, Meursault gets disoriented and on the edge of heatstroke, shoots and kills another character when he flashes his knife at him.
I think it is time for a refreshing lager. and maybe if Meursault had a beer at noon, these tragic event may never happened.
The Cure wrote a song based on the book: youtu.be/s6rkOu9Lc5g?si=ymbsg5WgyKwmO2Cq
Happy bokeh (and refreshing) Wednesday, everyone!
Out of this world
Watching me fall
Where the birds always sing
Maybe someday
The last day of summer
There is no if...

When we look back at it all as I know we will
You and me, wide eyed
I wonder
Will we really remember how it feels to be this alive?

...Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late but friday... I'm in love...

The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex, in 1978. Throughout numerous lineup changes since the band's formation, guitarist, lead vocalist, and songwriter Robert Smith has remained the only constant member. The band's debut album was Three Imaginary Boys (1979) and this, along with several early singles, placed the band in the post-punk and new wave movements that had sprung up in the United Kingdom.

Went to see The Cure @ The Hollywood Bowl last night! They put on a 3 hour show! I grew up listening to this band as an early teen! I was really excited to the see them perform again. Robert Smith looked exactly as I remember him 15 years ago (a little chubbier though)! He's not the best looking man I'll admit, has an odd sense of style....but a great musician and a true artist!
And crawled across the mirror
I wait
Await the next breath
Your name like ice into my heart
A shallow grave
A monument to the ruined age
Ice in my eyes
And eyes like ice don't move
Screaming at the Moon
Another past time

Soundtrack // Bande-son: THE CURE ("From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea"): www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V96VQsxdLc
"And so we watch the sun come up FROM THE EDGE OF THE DEEP GREEN SEA... And she listens like her head's on fire like she wants to believe in me..."
De l'Infinity Pool du Grand Hotel, la vue s'étend sur la baie de Neum, la péninsule de Klek (la longue bande côtière au 1er plan à gauche) et la presqu'île de Peljesac (la bande de terre qui s'élève au second plan). Cette dernière est reliée au continent par le pont à haubans de Peljesac, ouvert en 2022 (au centre).

I chose an eternity of this
Like falling angels
The world disappeared
Laughing into the fire
Is it always like this?
Flesh and blood and the first kiss
The first colours
The first kiss...

"I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees"
"I think i've reached that point
Where every word that you write
Of every blood dark sea
And every soul black night
And every dream you dream me in
And every perfect free from sin
And burning eyes
And hearts on fire
Are just the same old song..."
In my youth I was a huge fan of The Cure and Japanese Whispers was the first album of theirs that I bought. I then proceeded to buy any Cure album I could lay my hands on. This is my take on the album title and the background is the album cover. There is a coloured shot in comments with more of the album showing.
