Robert Smith & David Bowie

I apologize for the lack of posting... I have no excuse except that I didn't have time O.o

I'll post 2 Things today cause I can x]

The Thing of the Day is this amazingly epic video with Robert Smith AND David Bowie onstage TOGETHER at David Bowie's 50th birthday concert.

Yeah, I admit, I flipped when I first saw this video. And a few times after, too. I mean, COME ON. My two idols, onstage, singing, together...!! Just two amazingly talented, iconic musicians collaborating... And with Robert absolutely SHREDDING the guitar on LTYSD... They both look like they're enjoying themselves so much! Rarely do you see Robert express that much emotion on stage, which is the complete opposite with David.....


The first song, The Last Thing You Should Do, is from Bowie's album Earthling, which had just been released the same year (1997). The second song, Quicksand, was off the album Hunky Dory released 1971.


Even if you don't particularly enjoy The Cure or Bowie as much as I do, if you appreciate music at ALL, you hopefully realize what a huge concert this was. ;)


Quicksand


I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform
Of imagery
I'm living in a silent film
Portraying
Himmler's sacred realm
Of dream reality
I'm frightened by the total goal
Drawing to the ragged hole
And I ain't got the power anymore
No I ain't got the power anymore

I'm the twisted name
on Garbo's eyes
Living proof of
Churchill's lies
I'm destiny
I'm torn between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
Divine symmetry
Should I kiss the viper's fang
Or herald loud
the death of Man
I'm sinking in the quicksand
of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore

[CHORUS]
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes
with death's release

I'm not a prophet
or a stone age man
Just a mortal
with the potential of a superman
I'm living on
I'm tethered to the logic
of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes
from the great salvation
Of bullshit faith
If I don't explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it
On, the next Bardo
I'm sinking in the quicksand
of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore

[CHORUS]
