I am staring at the screen in my Cure Tour 2022 hoodie and I don't even know how to begin... No other band in the world could make me feel so many emotions at once. I could scream it right now, but I'm so very proud of this band and so grateful for all the joy they give me, each day. They're the best and they don't even have to prove it, yet they do it every single time. So thank you to The Cure from the bottom of my heart.
To Robert, especially : You're a hero. You're my hero. I love to hear you talk and see you dance at the shows, I love when you rebel against Curfew to play a few more songs, I love when you joke about Friday I'm In Love, and how you walk around the stage, both at the begining and the end of the show. Those are some of the most precious moments to me. I know that I don't know you and you don't know me, but to me you're family and I will always hold you dear to my heart.
To all the streamers, podbeaners, and kind people at the show that share livestreams, pictures or informations : You are all legends and thank you so much for taking us with you, show after show. Because of you, instead of one show I felt like I was part of the whole tour. It could never have happened without you. So thank you, thank you, thank you !
And to all of you, lovely people, dear Cure friends, you are the best. Without you, I don't even want to imagine what a Cure show would be like. I never had to, as I'm so lucky that I found this community as soon as the day after the first tour I could follow, the 2016 tour.
You're all so funny, so kind, and such a joy to be around. I loved memorizing the songs you loved, those you loved less, and to have friends to share my love of The Cure with is a treasure, really. It's been two month absolutely amazing, like this tour. I hold all those memories dear to my heart. I love and remember each one of you, and hope that I will get to meet you one day. This is a dream that I have since 2016 and I won't give up on it.
My heart could burst with gratitude and I would love to tell the band "Look at what you created, none of this would exist without you". It's just so beautiful.
And it may be the end of the tour, but there's so much more to it. Now is the time to rest, because 2023 will be a Cure year. I can feel it. There's so many projects, things to look forward, and hope ! The new album is no longer just talk, now we know and love some of the songs. And I've been wondering if he is keeping other songs for other tours ? It is certainly possible.
So this is not goodbye. This is a "Take a well deserved rest, look back with gratitude at what we've lived those 2 months, and see you again". The Cure is in the real life like with their songs : There is always, always hope in it.
When I really got to dive into the band, in 2015, I was sad because I thought that I had missed out every tour and project. But it was and is still far from over.
So until next time, my dear friends, take care of you, have a good rest, and see you again to celebrate the next chapter in our Cure life
Hear hear! Excellent write-up!
