The Cure

In November 2016, when The Cure delivered their poignant live performance of "It Can Never Be The Same" in Antwerp, they were riding high on a wave of renewed creativity and nostalgia. Just a year earlier, in 2015, they released a 30th-anniversary edition of their seminal album "Disintegration," often regarded as their magnum opus. This re-release rekindled interest in their expansive catalog and reaffirmed their status in the music landscape. During this time, The Cure was also celebrating their legacy with a series of concerts that embraced their varied sounds, from gothy anthems to introspective ballads. Interestingly, "It Can Never Be The Same" isn't just a song; it’s a tribute to Leonard Cohen, reflecting the band's deep respect for the artistry that has influenced them. This performance, soaked in emotional depth, underscores the band's ability to evoke powerful feelings and connect with audiences across generations, making it an unforgettable moment in their ongoing journey.
