The Cure has debuted a new song called “A Fragile Thing,” a track off the band’s upcoming comeback album, Songs of a Lost World.
The tune certainly employs some classic Cure imagery with lyrics such as “Every time you kiss me I could cry” and “I could die tonight of a broken heart,” leading into the chorus of “This love is a fragile thing.”
“‘A Fragile Thing’ 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,” says frontman Robert Smith. “It can often be very hard to be the person that you really need to be.”
You can listen to “A Fragile Thing” now via digital outlets and watch its lyric video streaming on YouTube. The lyric video is also available in Spanish and Portuguese.
“A Fragile Thing” is the second cut to be released from Songs of a Lost World, following lead single “Alone.” The album, the first full-length effort from The Cure in 16 years, drops Nov. 1.

“Alone”
