JAKARTA - The Cure vocalist, Robert Smith has just celebrated the release of the album 'Songs of a Lost World' through a special show in London, England.

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.

"And that's the reason why I'm still doing it, a moment of togetherness with many people. There's something really extraordinary about it," he continued.

Meanwhile, one of the songs from The Cure's latest album, "I Can Never Say Goodbye", was written by Smith in response to the death of his brother, Richard.

Smith also expressed his relief after completing the show well. He said it became difficult when you had to finish the song lyrics with age.

"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.
