My Pictures Of You

What is something others do that sparks your admiration?

I just got back from seeing the concert movie from The Cure from 2024.The Cure: The Show of a Lost World: A recent concert film released in December 2025, documenting the British band The Cure’s performance of their album Songs of a Lost World and other hits.

It was tremendous and they played the song “My Pictures of You” about halfway in.

Remembering you, fallen into my arms 
Crying for the death of your heart 
You were stone white, so delicate 
Lost in the cold 
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you, how you used to be 
Slow drowned, you were angels
So much more than everything 
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly 
Open my eyes, but I never see anything

If only I’d thought of the right words 
I could have held on to your heart 
If only I’d thought of the right words
I wouldn’t be breaking apart all my pictures of you
