The Cure's new album
When I first heard Alone, the first single released from this album, I felt very sad.
I thought, 'This is how Robert Smith is going to end.'
It was a shock to me, because it was something that I could not have imagined.
Having pre-ordered the CD of this album, I cancelled it last night.
I thought I could just listen to it on a streaming service.
I don't want to face it.
I am not well enough to face this album seriously.
And today, I was listening to this album on the train on my way home.
I listened to it while looking at the lyrics.
No, I didn't want to see the end.
Other people might not feel the way I do.
But it doesn't matter.
Please don't die, Robert, and keep singing bright songs and playing your baritone guitar.
Please don't leave us.
But that's impossible.
Soon I will be in the same state as Robert Smith and say goodbye to this world.
But my mind is far from ready.
When I listened to The Cure's music at the Fuji Rock Festival in 2007, Robert Smith was not like this.
But 2007 was a long time ago.
No, absolutely no.
I can't listen to it anymore.
