Curt making Roland smile and laugh

1985 [1; 2]; 2005; 2007; 2011; 2015; 2014; 2019; 2022; 2024

Roland, Music Week (01.03.2022): I didn't know what was going on at the time when I was writing The Hurting, but I guess it's sort of exploring my heart, soul and psyche a bit more, so it was great to have someone like Curt around because he was more of an extrovert, more of an optimist. That optimist/pessimist thing worked really well. Since all the things that happened in 2017, he's been great, really good. And, for some strange reason, he's suddenly become articulate as well. It's quite impressive."

SO [Sophie Saillet] feat. Curt Smith - Les Autres

I couldn't find the lyrics anywhere, so I tried to transcribe Curt's part by myself (with a little help of an online decryptor):

Close your eyes, what do you see? Your soul inside and all the others in you Come out and see the light. Open your cupboards, look under our bed. Angels and cockroaches, See how they run... As they fill your head with doubt You lost your way. There's only one defense For what they say. Your tears are your shelter, You're not alone Silence is the voice of love See how we run...
