The Cure

In June 2004, when The Cure took the stage at Eichenring during the Hurricane Festival, they were riding high on the release of their tenth studio album, "The Cure," which debuted just a month earlier in May. This self-titled effort marked a pivotal moment in their career, as it was their first studio album in over four years—a significant gap that had fans eagerly anticipating new material. "Before Three," the track performed live, showcases the band's signature sound, weaving haunting melodies with introspective lyrics that speak to the complexities of love and existence. Interestingly, during the interview following the song, Robert Smith elaborates on its emotional weight, adding context that deepens the listener's appreciation. The performance reflects The Cure's enduring appeal, captivating both long-time fans and new listeners with their atmospheric soundscapes and Smith's unmistakable voice, proving why they remain icons in the alternative music scene.
