What happened with Robert and Siouxe?

I know that Robert Smith was a a member of Siouxe and the banshees and I know he left the band 4 days before a concert so Siouxe hated him for that. But what happened after that? Did they reconcile, do they still hate each other or did they leave that apart?

Perhaps the Most Influential Artist in My Life is Robert Smith of The Cure~!

Wow, seeing that old Siouxsie & the Banshees on YouTube started giving me memories on how grateful I am to Robert Smith. I don't think he would ever realize just how much he has changed my life. I literally would be so lost in life without his influence.

I first picked up the guitar because of Robert Smith. I was so inspired by how he is able to turn such deep, profound and sometimes even dark feelings into a beautiful canvas of lush symphonies of ethereal tone that is so extraordinarily beautiful to listen to. I wanted to reproduce that art for myself, also so he inspired me to learn the guitar.

Fast forward about 3 years and I got heavy into the classical guitar because of the same thirst to seek beauty in tone. What got me heavy into it was when I bought a cheap 3$ classical guitar album with someone playing the Six Suites for Unaccompanied Violincello transcribed onto guitar. I was like, what the heck, it's only 3$ and I do need to listen to as many types of guitar music if I am ever going to master this instrument. I swear they actually sound better on the guitar then it does on the cello as if it was meant to be composed for the instrument. Bach is known to be so mathematically precise his melodies and harmonies. I listened to it stoned once and I swear I heard 5 different melodies I didn't hear before and a very complicated bass line to go with it. I swore that I would one day be able to play that entire album, which consists of Suite I and III BWV1007 and BWV1009 if you are ever curious on listening or learning it, and I learned both suites within a year because I was so motivated and practiced 12 hours a day to learn it!

Anyone else had his/her life changed and defined by listening to a similar artist?

An old postcard that I saved! Sweet, beautiful guitar that he probably painted himself.

I would have never intimately known the beauty of Clarita, my guitar, if it wasn't for the extraordinary man above.

A forest – Robert Smith

For a few days, the classical The Cure song ”A forest” came to my mind. And not just the original version, from the 1980, from The Cure. I do not know how many of you know that Robert Smith re-recorded the song in 2003, with the trance duo Blank & Jones from Germany. I remember that I first enjoyed the trance version of it, back in the day, when I was in high school, when I was first ”sniffing” Goth and dark music in general. I was a fan of dark trance back in the day, I still love that genre today, albeit trance itself is a genre that has lost much of its inner power since.

So, I thought of sharing today both incarnations of the song. On both, we hear Robert himself, in the cover version his voice was re-recorded. Even the remixes on the 12”” vinyl of the 2003 version can be considered interesting. Although they kind of move away from Goth, of course, something in there is still kept.

So, this is the original version of the song

The Cure – A Forest (album version)

A 12” edition of the original ”A Forest” single The Cure – A Forest (Discogs) . The song was featured on their 1980 album, Seventeen Seconds .

Blank & Jones feat. Robert Smith – A forest (original mix) 12”

( Blank & Jones feat. Robert Smith – ”A Forest” on Discogs, 12” )

Perhaps from the first version to the second, some dimensions of the song are lost or diminished, some are enhanced, I would say. What do you think? I hope to see your opinions.
