The Cure frontman Robert Smith forgot the lyrics to one of the band’s popular songs during their live stream for the ‘Songs Of A Lost World’ album release show.
A The Cure fan page on X shared footage of the frontman forgetting the lyrics to ‘Friday I’m In Love.’ In the line where he is supposed to say, ‘Saturday wait / And Sunday always comes too late / But Friday never hesitate,’ he mixed it up and sang it along with the previous verse of the song.
After seeing the clip, Smith responded, “IT WAS NOT ME. THAT IS FOR SURE. FOR SURE. IT WAS NOT ME. ______ z.”
The Cure released their long-awaited new album, ‘Songs Of A Lost World,’ just yesterday. The album is their first since 2008’s ‘4:13 Dream.’
“You just suddenly feel something. You feel connection,” Smith said about the band’s new album in an interview with BBC Radio 6 Music. “And that’s the reason why I still do it… that communal moment with a crowd. There’s something really, really wonderful about it.”
The band performed a live session and also played a Radio 2 In Concert set to a small audience at the BBC Radio Theatre on Wednesday. The show included a performance of ‘Alone’ from the new album.
“It’s the one thing that as I’ve grown older, I’ve found much much harder to do – write words that I want to sing. I can write words but I don’t really feel like singing them,” Smith shared his relief at finishing the process. “So to arrive at that point where I think that it’s worth singing these songs, it has become really, really hard.”
He revealed that his wife Mary helped him finalize the album’s tracklist, insisting that he balanced the depth of the darkness.
