The Cure have unveiled a new song from much-anticipated new album Songs Of A Lost World. ‘A Fragile Thing’ is described by Robert Smith as “the ‘love song’ of the album, but it’s not really a love song in the way that ‘Lovesong’ is a love song… it’s about how Love is the most enduring of emotions, the most powerful of emotions, incredibly resilient… and yet at the same time incredibly fragile… [it] 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.” ‘A Fragile Thing’ is the second song to be released from Songs Of A Lost World, the full tracklisting for which is below the song player. Fiction / Polydor will release Songs Of A Lost World on 1 November, 2024.
