Uyea Sound by The Cure - Lyrics by Andrew Barger - Wish 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition

As Europe is enjoying The Cure’s Songs for a Lost World Tour, Robert Smith announced the forthcoming Wish 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition album. It includes 24 previously unreleased tracks. And all of Curedom did a little happy dance. Robert Smith admitted that he had difficulty with the words (poetry), resulting in many of the new tracks being instrumentals. This struck me as unfortunate for someone I believe to be one of the best living poets, of the one I have read. The words of “Lovesong,” from Disintegration are beautiful in their simplicity and immensely compelling. “Plainsong,” from the same album, is a sonnet by Robert Smith to his wife, Mary. Here are my thoughts on “Plainsong.” https://disintegrationnation-cureblog.blogspot.com/...
Wish 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition drops on November 25, 2022. Fortunately, The Cure has released a few songs already. One of which is the highly anticipated instrumental, “Uyea Sound” that is haunting in its soundscapes. Below is a poem (unauthorized) I wrote to accompany the music of “Uyea Sound” by The Cure.


Uyea Sound

Unofficial Lyrics by Andrew Barger



It’s been twenty sunsets

Since you left me,

On the Island Uyea.


Hush now,

Waves are breaking against Uyea

And winds speak its name.


Everyone is set

On changing the world.

I just wanted to change you.


Hush now,

Waves are breaking against Uyea

And winds speak its name.


Take it all in stride, they said.

Yea, Uyea boy, take it all in stride.

It’s in you I confide.


Hush now,

Waves are breaking against Uyea

And winds speak its name.


I return to where you left me

Twenty sunsets ago.

On the island Uyea


Hush now,

Waves are breaking against Uyea

And winds speak its name.
