The 80s isn't an era, it's a magical realm.

it's incredible how they manage to make their songs sound so happy but when you look at the lyrics it's some super sad deep stuff. I really like that about them. they never fail to describe what one feels.

I’m 63 still listening to the Cure. When this came out in 85 I thought it was brilliant and still do.

This video perfectly describes depression. Anyone who's ever been there knows it doesn't feel like being already in the abyss, it feels like being stuck, dirty, with everything around looking like a mess impossible to order, on the edge of the end. And even at the end of it one feels stuck, cold and alone. Exactly like the song hints.

There are 2 versions of this song: one with, and one without headphones.The one with headphones is definitely a more intimate experience!

I love the deep breaths by Robert Smith throughout the song. Gasps and sighs that give the song a suffocated feeling.

The Cure has their own SOUND, mad respect

What I hate about Cure's songs it's when they end.

wow it's great to listen to this with headphones, it feels like they're whispering and clapping in your ear

Lyrics
I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me
Just try to see in the dark
Just try to make it work
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath and wait until I shake
But if I had your faith
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream
I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought this day would end
I never thought tonight could ever be
This close to me
But if I had your face
Then I could make it safe and clean
Oh, if only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream

This is one of those special songs that no matter how many times you listen to it, it gives you chills as if you're listening to it for the first time. This is my favourite song by the Cure. Absolute gem.

Director: How claustrophobic do you want this video to be?
Robert Smith: YES!

Not overrated, not underrated. People who love their music love The Cure.

Incredibly ahead of its time production wise. Sounds like it's from the 2000s/2010s. Everything else from the 80s is drenched in reverb and chorus (not a bad thing!) Just makes this stand out so much

I can't think of any other music video that incorporates so much claustrophobia, jeopardy and discomfort. It's the antithesis of sunny pop schtick. Truly unique sound, look and impact, even after almost 40 years

Probably the most amazing thing about this song is that it hasn't dated AT ALL. You could release this as a new single in 2015 and it would still sound contemporary. No cheesy synthesizers here!

A masterpiece. The thing about the 80's was that new quality music was being produced at such a rate that timeless classics like this did not get to number 1

Roberts whispery, clear, voice is perfect for every melody and/or riff he creates. It's just perfect in every way. There are very few cure songs that I'm not a fan of, but even those are still good songs.

It's so crazy omg with earphones it seems like someone is whispering, breathing and making some mouth noises in same time x)

I was petrified of Robert Smith as a child. He was just mad looking with his Edward Scissorhands hair, black eyes, pale face and red smeared lipstick. I was about 3 or 4 when this song was re released in 1990 and every time it came on the TV I'd hide behind the back of the sofa. I was so scared of him I use to check if he was under my bed. Most kids are scared of monsters under their beds I was scared Robert Smith was under mine. It's funny now cause The Cure are one of my favourite bands now and this is one of my favourite song from them.
