The Cure has been singing to us lullabies since the late ’70s, but they have not released an album full of love songs in 16 years. On November 1st, that is going to change with the release of Songs of the Lost World.
Today, the band released A Fragile Thing, the second single from the upcoming record. Robert Smith said, “A Fragile Thing is driven by the difficulties we face in choosing between mutually exclusive needs and how we deal with the futile regret that can follow these choices, however sure we are that the right choices have been made… it can often be very hard to be the person that you really need to be.”
Along with the single, they also revealed the tracklist:
ALONE
AND NOTHING IS FOREVER
A FRAGILE THING
WARSONG
DRONE:NODRONE
I CAN NEVER SAY GOODBYE
ALL I EVER AM
ENDSONG
