The Cure are an English rock band formed in 1978 in Crawley, West Sussex. Throughout numerous lineup changes since the band's formation, guitarist, lead vocalist, and songwriter Robert Smith has remained the only constant member, though bassist Simon Gallup has been present for all but three years of the band's history. The band's debut album, Three Imaginary Boys (1979), along with several early singles, placed the band in the post-punk and new wave movements that had sprung up in the United Kingdom.
"Just Like Heaven" is a song by British alternative rock band the Cure. The group wrote most of the song during recording sessions in southern France in 1987. The lyrics were written by their frontman Robert Smith, who drew inspiration from a past trip to the sea shore with his future wife.

The Cure is the living proof you can be sad, joyful, angry and at peace at the same time.
and also, in love
That's why they are the best band ever!!!
...AND PLAY LIVE as good as if not better than the studio recordings.
Awe yes ❤❤❤❤😊
@@DaSpartanProductinosYEA!!!! They are 😀😀😀
Robert Smith's voice is amazingly good, even after all these years.
Saw them in June...his voice was better than ever!
Because he keeps on keeping on. He is vigorously on tour all the time, while it seems most bands retired a long time ago. So, he is always training his voice. It's like lifting weights: if you don't keep going to the gym, all that muscle turns to flab. Same thing with vocal muscles.
@@rexdv8 Well said. And not only touring, but doing 2-3 hour sets each time. Truly, truly a gifted artist and a fantastic band.
Seen them in Chicago in June and it was by far the best concert ever..I actually cried like a little kid when they came on stage..have loved this band since the very early 80's..this was a dream come true
There are certainly some places where he sings something lower rather than higher like he did on the original record, but that is to be expected. Example is "Why are you so far away she said," which he actually changed to this melody in 1991... I listened to the show where they did "Thousand Hours" and whoo boy that really just isn't in his wheelhouse anymore cause that was a falsetto one back when he had more range anyway.
40 years later and they still sound the same. Legends.
And this is with different people through the years (except for Robert & usually Simon).
Of course, before then they LOOKED quite different. I witnessed the transmogrification myself as young Robert gained weight, hair and makeup under the tutelage of Siouxsie Sioux whilst he was doubling his workload by standing in for John McGeoch...
Exhibit A: czcams.com/video/NERzLlHo-D0/video.html (Wow, I just found this, it's from even before Robert added the 3rd pickup to his Jazzmaster! - Why have Fender never released a Robert Smith Signature Paranormal Jazzcaster/Stratomaster? 😺)
Exihibit B: czcams.com/video/lw9zl19GyCI/video.html (Robert makes a temporary pre-McGeoch Banshees appearance - performing Love In A Void/Regal Zone - on the TV show Something Else in '79, with a freshly recruited and pre-bleached Budgie straight off his stint with The Slits!)
Exhibit C: czcams.com/video/J8Do5pq1x2g/video.html (Robert's hair is definitely well along the evolutionary path there, though at that point in the gig Siouxsie seems to have sweated out her spiky! Watch the entire Nocturne gig at the Albert Hall to see more...)
In between those you can find Robert with his modded Jazzmaster, also in '79 (on A Forest), and swapping his guitar for a second bass on Primary (probably THE gateway song to their later sound, always a favourite of mine, and I never realised why until I learned about that 2nd bass!).
@@scotmark It's criminal that they never released a signature Robert Smith guitar. Either the Jazzmaster or Bass VI.
@@zoeherriot Apparently because he mostly played a stock Bass VI maybe repainted, so not much interest by Fender. Though there is apparently a Schecter Robert Smith UltraCure VI...
I didn't realise he used a Bass VI but just found some Disintegration-era vids with one.
I'd only recently discovered the Primary video with him playing a P-Bass, and was surprised to see that apart from the obvious difference, it looks pretty much identical to my beginner Squier Affinity PJ Bass in colour and style! (Which I mostly use just to get near enough approximations to some of my favourite post-punk basslines, starting with Simple Minds' Premonition! NOTE: Forbsie, voted - by *someone* - best bass player in the world in 1982, the best ever year for music! 😺)
czcams.com/video/3bhXIxIbMDo/video.html
As for the modded Jazzmaster, Bob probably just doesn't care for the idea of a bunch of fanboys with a copy of his unique guitar!
Robert Smith is a national treasure. A great writer and performer.
International treasure
This is one of the greatest songs of all time. How have you never heard it?
People can't hear everything. A friend of mine in university had heard almost no pop music until he went to university. His parents and brothers didn't have any, and they never listened to the radio.
@@yourinsipidrecordcollection In my day, university was an enlightenment, not an assimilation... 😸😸😸
Foolish
This song instantly lifts my mood
Kids like her wouldn't.
Robert Smith and the Cure were the only singer/ band that the show Southpark made into hero's instead of ripping on them. He was the only singer that Matt Stone and Trey Parker considered to be a true artist.
Fun fact I learned not to long ago. Robert had no idea what the episode was about. He was asked just to record his lines.
That's saying something, since Santa Claus, Jesus, any sitting President, al-Qaeda, yuppies, Jews, Steve Irwin, Canadians, Asians, gangbangers, KKK members and even Martha Stewart aren't safe.
If you are the right age to remember his appearances on "The Mary Whitehouse Experience" 😜
@@jon-paulfilkins7820 I'm of the right age to have refused the existence of a telly anywhere near me since I escaped parental incarceration in 1981... 😺
@@scotmark Why no television?
Friday im in love came out in 92 years after just like heaven released in 87. Both songs are written by the cure:)
Came to say they same. Thank you for catching that as well.
Once she said that, I was trying to remember what Friday I’m In Love sounded like and realized, “Isn’t that also by The Cure?”
The internet seems to say Robert Smith was concerned after writing “Friday I’m In Love” that it sounded familiar and must have been plagiarized from something. Supposedly he sent it to friends to listen to, to see if it sounded like anything they had heard before.
Confused me too. Stole my own stuff from the future?
As a Cure fan since 83, I can’t imagine not hearing them until today; glad you’ve finally met God, Beth. 😉
There you go.
Robert Smith's voice still holds up after all these years
As an elder emo, I still love them
Great choice, Beth. This is one of the most elegant and poetic pop songs ever written..."Alone above a raging sea / That stole the only girl I loved / And drowned her deep inside of me..." Oh, and this song is before Friday I'm in Love....which The Cure also wrote. Lol...
I read this comment just as it got to that part of the song.
@@crystalfire5564 Always a favorite lyric of mine...
So no need for Robert Smith to sue Robert Smith for reverse plagiarism? 🤣
@@kovie9162 He's got a solid case but it would all come out in the wash. 😁
I was wondering about that. How can a bsnd plagiarize themselves? Lol!
Robert Smith vocals haven't changed at all since 70s. His voice one of a kind.
It amazes me how Robert is in his 60s and his voice sounds almost the same it did 35 years ago. Such a unique vocalist.
This (1987) came out 5 years before friday im in love(1992) so its pretty unlikely that ripping off a song he hadnt written yet was playing on his mind.
Exactly.
Yeah she has no idea anything whatsoever about The Cure, so just take it with a grain of salt.
Back to the Future was part of the zeitgeist back then. Who knows………….
Interesting that you chose the live version over the studio original. However, they are so good live. I saw them for the first time in 92 and most recently last summer. He still puts on a great show.
We saw them three times this year and all three shows were amazing. His voice hasn’t changed all that much.
He singing 'sounds like' he is not putting a much effort into it at all, yet his voice is one of the most emotive there is. From giddy love songs like this, the desperate pleading of 'Boys don't cry', the scared of 'A Forest' or their more melancholic songs, his voice always takes you there.
Robert definitely writes songs that tug on emotions all along the spectrum... and his voice always perfectly delivers his feelings.
Something so unique and human about his voice - its always sounded so fresh and eternal to me.
I finally got to see them live...it was spectacular. They are just amazing.
As a huge cure fan it was great to see you review this song. Robert recently collaborated with the Scottish band Chvrches, releasing a song called How Not To Drown. It's worth checking out!
About 20 years ago his friends thought he finally went insane to collaborate with this crappy american band.. Maybe you've heard of them, they were a band called Blink 182
What a great collab, one of the best bands of the 80's and one of the best modern groups.
It's brilliant - also worth checking out their NME Awards live performance, where they play Just Like Heaven together as well! :)
Oh. My. Gawd.
If this was the band's 40th anniversary then I must be quite old. If Robert Smith was 20 when they got big then that makes him 60 for this show - and his voice is still perfect. He sounds exactly like he did back in 1980. I'm just amazed. (Perhaps, Beth, you can do a video on artists who haven't (sonicly) 'aged' after decades of performing. Steve Winwood comes to mind.
This show was at BST Hyde Park and nothing's more British than a huge mass of people out enjoying good music outdoors. I was there a year earlier and heard Phil Collins, which was such a treat. The next day I was pounding chalk at the Uffington White Horse, but that's a story for another day...
You should hear the album versions of their songs
The Cure is probably the best group to use 3 guitars plus a bass in every live tours which is why they sound fantastic. The layering of the guitars, bass, keys and drums makes no dead air… Love them!!
And sometimes, they'll pull out up to three basses at once. Songs like High has a bass and two Bass VI's and there are a number of songs that are Robert doing melodies on bass, while Simon holds down the low end.
They have an enormous sound live.
This is a pretty straightforward pop song (RS has said he thinkts it's the perfect pop song) so it actually doesn't give you much to analyze vocally. I might suggest the studio versuons of Fascination Street or From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea as examples of a particular vocal quirk he has - where he ends a word by tapering off into falsetto on the same pitch without any "yodel" bump. I just love it. You should also check out his range of timbres, from whispering in Fear of Ghosts to screaming in Disintegration or the goofiness of Bananafishbones or the straight up shouting punk of Give Me It or the dulcet sweetness of This Twilight Garden or the surprising LOW range of Homesick. Or anything with his other iconic sound, the falsetto doodoos and squeals, heard in songs like The Caterpillar, Wrong Number, or Close to Me. And you absolutely MUST check out a live version of Prayers for Rain to analyze his breath control at the song's climax!
All this. ❤
Reading this comment and citations brought tears to my eyes. What incredible variety.
I was just listening to Give Me It, thinking this would be a great one... how about The Figurehead or One Hundred Years, both from the Paris album versions.
It was really cute seeing her dance and groove to ONE of my favorite Cure songs. She also appreciated Smith's beautiful and unique vocal tone. I really liked this video!😁
That must be backwards. This song was released 5 years BEFORE Friday I'm in Love.
I'm so glad that you finally reacted to The Cure, Robert Smith is an absolute icon. It's hilarious that he was worried about ripping off Friday I'm in Love (also a Cure song). I worry that my songwriting gets a bit repetitive, so it's nice to hear that a legend had the same concern.
"Just Like Heaven" was on Kiss Me, Me, Kiss Me (1987). "Friday I'm in Love" is from Wish (1992). Beth either got is backward, or Robert Smith is a time traveler. I hope the latter is true.
@@chadbeitelspacher7944 She probably just flipped it. There are a lot of similarities between the two, so I'm guessing that Smith was concerned that Friday I'm in Love was ripping off Just Like Heaven.
Not only was FIIL many years later than JLH, but she seemed to think he was worried about plagiarizing someone else's song, rather than his own...
@@heatherfyffe3618 It would make sense to call it plagiarism he was copping another artist. Lots of bands write songs that sound similar to others they've written. The Foo Fighters have been making the same song over and over for about 25 years.
I saw The Cure with my best friend, my 16yr old daughter and three of her friends this summer. We drove 6hours, got ready in the parking lot of a grocery store, showed up to the concert lookin like 10's and rocked out for a 3hrs. And that my friends is how memories are made!
His voice has held up very, very well. If my eyes were closed, I wonder if I could even tell the difference...
OMG Beth, thank you❤. One of the Greatest Live Bands ever. Saw them 1 and 4 years agoand they even got better with age. Robert Smiths voice is crystal clear as ever. Please more Cure Reactions. Lullaby is a Disco classic and one of their most successful ones.
Robert Smith, the lead vocalist and guitarist of the iconic rock band The Cure, has been open about his experiences with Asperger's syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects communication and social interaction. In interviews, he has discussed how his diagnosis has influenced his life and creative process, including his tendency to be introverted and detail-oriented. Despite the challenges that come with having Asperger's, Smith has used his unique perspective to create some of the most memorable and enduring music of the past few decades. His story serves as an inspiration to others who may be struggling with similar issues, showing that with determination and passion, anything is possible.
I hear this and immediately it's 1989, I'm a college freshman and The Cure is everywhere...really good memories...
That's exactly me in 1989, college freshman listening to Disintegration for the first time and seeing them for the first time too
They have not missed a beat their entire career. Sound as good now as when the first began. Live especially.

Jesus loves you ❤️ please turn to him and repent before it's too late. The end times described in the Bible are already happening in the world.
Robert Smith was in the throes of love when he wrote this song. His girlfriend, Mary Poole, he met when he was 14; in 1988, a year after "Just Like Heaven" was released, they got married, and it stuck.
Beth shhhhhhhhh
That's some great news!
Reage ao fenômeno do momento no America's Got Talent GABRIEL HENRIQUE 🇧🇷 ( botão dourado). Você já fez uma reação dele aqui no canal, agora ele tá no AGT e foi ovacionado !
Robert Smith is definitely a character.
You should see the movie 'This Must Be The Place', where you can clearly see Sean Penn's role is based upon Robert Smith. :)
Definitely an under rated movie
You need to check out their albums "Seventeen Seconds," "Faith," and "Pornography." This was a magically dark era of their outstanding body of work.
Just got to see them for only the second time ever back in May of this year. It was the first show of the tour and was flawless as it could be. Perfect on every level.🤘🖖✌🎤🎸🎹🥁
I’m glad you made a reaction video for this live performance. Just Like Heaven, is one of my most favorite songs. I’ve been lucky enough to see The Cure, in concert, three times: The Wild Mood Swings 1996 - Los Angeles, Ca., The Curiosa Festival 2004 - Chula Vista, Ca. and 4Tour 2008 - San Diego, Ca.
I’d like to see your reaction to the 1987 music video, for JLH, directed by Tim Pope, which is set on a cliff, above the sea; one of many classic gems. God Save The Cure.🖤
The Cure is one of my all time favorite bands. Got into them in the mid 90s and never looked back. Their body of work is VERY diverse and amazing.
Another amazing Cure performance, with Robert singing at 59 years old in 2018 !!!!
I went to see the Cure live in Montreal Canada this past June and it was the best concert I have ever attended....no other band could create such a strong atmosphere of every human emotion!
Great channel! The Cure is my favorite band and I love watching people listen to them for the first time. :) Just one correction, Just Like Heaven was written and released in 1987 on the Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me album, several years before Friday I'm in Love on the Wish album 1992, maybe you meant the other way around?
Just saw them recently . Still putting on a great show
I just saw them recently during their US tour, and the band was incredible, and Robert Smith's vocals were very good and quite strong. What I loved was when he walked out onto the stage he stood in front of a group of fans and let it all soak in, then moved a little over and did it again, and continued to do it from one end of the stage to the other...and then at the end of the show, he did it again from the opposite direction. It was a great way for him and the fans to connect and show their mutual appreciation. Thanks for this! Loch Sloy! ~Be Blessed
I was never a solid fan until I saw them on Mtv UNPLUGGED .... they really sound great live!
Many Cure songs invite you to sing them. Have fun researching the Cure's catalog.
I like so many of them but my favorite is The Blood.
My three favorite Cure albums are 'Pornography', 'Disintegration', and 'Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me' The also did an amazing track for the original soundtrack for "The Crow" called 'Burn'. And, so much more, They've been around since the 70's. Beth, you really need to know this band.
They also did a Jimmy Hendrix cover of Purple Haze. It's amazing.
You must be young to not include Seventeen Seconds and Faith! Your choices are still excellent, though. 😼
Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me is one of my favourite chat-up... oops, Cure albums too, since the day I fostered it from its lonely rack in HMV...
Disintegration was the last high spot for me, but I think that's more to do with age than anything. I just can't keep up with that Great Goth Granny Smith any more. 😾
Pornography was the first tour I caught them on, and that album is probably the most significant cause of slightly dull hearing since my teens. (I constructed a little headphone amplifier from a circuit in one of the hobbyist electronic mags because my mum bought me crappy speakers for my cheap record player, and I wanted to obey the commands on the records that said "PLAY LOUD!" on the label. 🙉) I thought Pornography was supposed to make you go BLIND, not DEAF! 🙀
I absolutely LOVE Pornography: one of the ultimate dark, edgy, and brooding goth albums.
Great video Beth thanks again 😊 if you liked this song 🎵 I think you might like " Lovesong " by the Cure , I really like his voice 😊keep up the great work much respect 🙏 🫡
47 años de arte, los mejores del mundo e inmortales 🇦🇷 Noviembre 2023 cuarenta y cuatro millones d argentinos los esperamos 🖤 🇦🇷 🧉
My favorite band. So amazing live.
My favorite song period and have danced to it at my two kid's weddings, so I'm in with the Cure. Having said that and love this live version, I'm grounded in this song having heard it in multiple versions, I would say to please hit up the studio version and give that a listen as well. To me, one of the best bands and still get a lot of playtime in my house today. Thanks for sharing the viewing and comments with us!
Agreed the studio version is definitely different from this live performance. Both are great but his vocals are different. I'm amazed how the instrumental part sounds exactly the same.
I love how you smiled through the entire video. Made me smile too. 😁
I saw them live in Glasgow a couple of years ago. I couldn't believe how great they sounded.
Whatever Robert Smith does, is right lol… his voice has remained pliable and strong his whole career, never a weak moment, and I think that is something that baffles me.. how in the world you sing that high, for that long, into your 60s. He’s a King & A True Original
cool video, it is especially amazing that Robert's voice is still good at age 60
Such an amazing song!!!
I saw The Cure twice.. back in the early days.. always so amazing. It's wonderful to see they are still the same band as they were then..Robert sounds brilliant here. I would love to see them live again.. This is my favourite track ❤❤
I'm so glad that I had the chance to see The Cure live, one of the best experiences of my life. I felt the same at Depeche Mode & Pet Shop Boys concerts ❤❤❤
I looks how you smile as you listen to him sing. He is a gem. I have been a fan since the late
80’s. This is one of my top 10 songs of all time.
Been waiting on you to cover them for SOOOOOOOOO long. Haha.
Nahh, It's the feeling. First time feeling the love at it's most beautiful for the first time. It blows you away.
Wow the first time ever hearing the Cure? Girl. So happy for you - your life just got made 😍😍😍
Thank you for this video. The Cure is my all-time favorite band in the whole universe ❤. Truly enjoyed this. ❤
Hope you listened to the album as well. So good ❤
You are very right, but you choose to see/watch a much later version of the song! The Cure did get a bit better at being easily liked as the years went by... :)
I was thinking how much he changed the song since the original. I would love to hear your comments about how aging singers might do that to either )1 make the song more interesting, fresh, after singing it thousands of times for decades, and/or 2) to make certain elements easier to sing- holding higher notes longer vs. Slightly different notes for shorter amounts of time/speaking some notes. As a vocal coach, how do explain the different choices he made? Thanks for covering such an iconic song from such an historic performance ❤🎉🌍🌎🌏🎶
That classic: Masterwork of writing, composition & arrangement.
I'm happy you enjoyed this:) live music is often quite different than recorded in the studio. Definitely go check out the non- live version. This was my very first Cure song. I was 15, 1994, and I've been hooked ever since:)
I still smile every time I hear this, he's lost nothing. Beautiful 😍
The most underrated “best band in the world”! Robert incarnes the emotional male in absolutely all his song, and he is still with his lucky wife for decades now
Seen then 6 times. Lucky enough to be one of the 65,000 at 2018 BST in Hyde Park. Try the Bloodflowers album if you want to get to know them better. Been a fan since 1979. The most consistently awesome band there is!
Thank you for doing The Cure
Just like heaven was my introduction to the cure, and even when turning out a hard rock/heavy metal / metal head, this still is and always will be my first love...
so happy see beth dance even only her shoulder.... they are a brits new wave lagend....salut to all the band member!!!!!!
You are right: if you're not a natural tenor, it will be very hard to sing like he does. I first got into the Cure back in 1985, and to this day I still can't match his singing when listening to their songs. It drives me nuts. I can sing along to Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode - no problem.
Just like heaven was released years before Friday I’m in love
I think I was at this gig (Hyde Park?). Unique voice, great band. Enjoyed the vid!
Please do more cure reactions!
The Cure are in the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame
You're British but you've never heard The Cure? How is this possible? This is your national treasure!
If there was ever a man I wanted a cuddle from it's Robert....
One of my favorite song from THE CURE 💜🤩🎸
Respect for not chasing trends. Always on point.
Very good choice and I love this song
This song is the first i was know, and then i love this band for ever
It's funny that I came across this video because I am wearing my Cure concert shirt this past summer when I saw them in concert. I've been a fan of theirs since the 80s, especially when their album Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me came out featuring Just Like Heaven.
Nobdy else has ever been as magical as Robert Smith, his passion and gratitude of fans is unlike any other performer.
This has been my favorite song of all time since I saw them live touring in support of "Kiss Me, Kis Me, Kiss Me."
While I'm flabbergasted that she hasn't heard the song before, her commentary did help me appreciate the song in a way that I hadn't before. I don't know anything about vocals, so her comments about Robert Smith's performance helped me understand the song in a way that I hadn't before.
Finally The Cure is getting some love!
Just seeing you loving Robert made me so happy 🥰 he’s such a sweetheart
He definitely didn't plagiarize Friday I'm in love, because he WROTE that 5 years later 😂
ive loved this band all over the world!
Just Like Heaven has a superb melody and so typical of The Cure, a beautiful intro. This is a relatively recent concert (Hyde Park I think), his voice seems as fresh today as when they were knocking out banger after banger in the 80's. Thank you for reacting to this most classic of British bands.
WoW! So many singers from that period sound quite tired and dispassionate in their later years, but certainly not this guy! Robert Smith sounds as fresh as the good old days! Thank you for sharing this video!
Hi Beth, not sure if you've been asked this before, but there are presently no good vocal coach analysis on the brilliant Billy Mackenzie.
I would love to hear your thoughts on his "Wild is the Wind" video.
He's a largely forgotten legend.
back at 80s i was into guns and metallica kind of music, but the cure always make me smile
he would be talking about one of there other songs "Friday I'm in Love"...great song as well
Which he wrote 5 years later... so she got something wrong there!
Me emocionó La canción me gusta el cantante Ingles bien Beth 👏👏🍀🍀
A great way to immerse yourself into The Cure is to listen to the album "Standing on a Beach", a 1986 compilation of singles released up to that time.
Just Like Heaven came out in 1986. Friday I'm in Love was released in 1991 if I'm not mistaken.
We saw them back in June, first time since 1989. When they played this song, we literally could not hear Robert Smith because the entire crowd was singing along. It was amazing 🖤🖤
“Daylight licked me into shape
I must've been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone, alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me”
Some of they greatest lyrics ever
Complete earworm this song and I keep singing these lines. My wife asked me what it was. I played it for her. She loved it - surprisingly! I'm glad I'm not alone in being strangely affected by these lyrics. Very powerful. Really emotive. If a band nowadays could create something as good as JLH, I would be very impressed. I'm not holding my breath tho... Cheers - PT x
Love the cure .went to c them ❤
One the best bands ever and they will be on my desert island music
