Singing Songs From The Cure New Album So How Robert Smith Overcomes Grief

Smith said that his appearance on Friday, November 1 made him relieved. The reason is, the live performance of the songs from the album helped him overcome the grief of the loss of his close family members in recent years.

"You suddenly feel something. You feel a connection," said Robert Smith during an interview with BBC Radio 6 Music after the show.

"The more I get older, I think it's much more difficult to do, to write the words I want to sing. I can write words but I don't really want to sing them," said the frontman of The Cure.

"So to get to the point where I think these songs deserve to be sung, it becomes very difficult," he continued.

Smith said that his wife, Mary, had helped him complete many songs on the new album, and insisted on balancing the depth.

"I want to finish everything, because I think it's fair for all the songs. They are all like my son, and I don't want to choose one of them to be a favorite," concluded Robert Smith.
