Awarded to The Cure, with Simon Gallup being a key member.

NME Award

Q Award

Simon Gallup is a highly respected English musician, best known as the bassist for the iconic rock band The Cure. Born on June 1, 1960, Gallup joined The Cure in 1979, making him one of the longest-standing members alongside frontman Robert Smith. His distinctive basslines have been a cornerstone of the band's sound, contributing significantly to their unique blend of post-punk, gothic rock, and new wave.

Gallup's musical career is largely synonymous with The Cure's prolific output. He has played on numerous critically acclaimed albums, including "Seventeen Seconds" (1980), "Faith" (1981), "Pornography" (1982), "The Head on the Door" (1985), "Disintegration" (1989), and "Wish" (1992). His playing style is characterized by its melodic inventiveness, often driving the songs with complex and memorable riffs, rather than simply providing a rhythmic foundation. This approach has earned him widespread admiration among musicians and fans alike.

Beyond his primary role in The Cure, Gallup has also been involved in side projects. He briefly left The Cure in 1982 to form the short-lived band Fools Dance with Gary Biddles, and later collaborated with Robert Smith on Smith's solo work and with other artists. However, his most enduring legacy remains within The Cure, where his artistic contributions have been vital to the band's enduring appeal and their status as one of the most influential alternative rock bands in history. Gallup's ability to evolve his playing while maintaining his signature sound has been key to The Cure's consistent artistic output across decades. His impact on bass guitar playing in alternative music is undeniable, influencing countless musicians with his innovative and emotive approach.

Simon Gallup is the long-standing bassist for the influential British rock band The Cure, joining in 1979. Known for his melodic and distinctive basslines, he has been a key musical architect on many of the band's seminal albums, including 'Disintegration' and 'Wish'. Gallup's career is deeply intertwined with The Cure's success, shaping their post-punk and gothic rock sound and influencing generations of musicians.

Official Music video by The Cure performing Boys Don't Cry. Remastered in HD. (C) 1993 Polydor Ltd. (UK)
 
Boys Don’t Cry (86 Mix) is being released digitally and physically for the first time in 40 years.
 
Initially released as a standalone single in the summer of 1979, Boys Don’t Cry became the title track of the US edition of the band’s debut album, Three Imaginary Boys. The song has gone on to become one of the band’s signature tracks and achieved international success in 1986, when Robert Smith re-recorded the vocal and remixed the backing track.
 
Although this new version was created to promote The Cure’s first best-of collection, Standing on a Beach – The Singles, the LP itself featured the original recording.

I WOULD SAY I'M SORRY
IF I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD CHANGE YOUR MIND
BUT I KNOW THAT THIS TIME
I HAVE SAID TOO MUCH
BEEN TOO UNKIND
 
I TRIED TO LAUGH ABOUT IT
COVER IT ALL UP WITH LIES
I TRIED TO LAUGH ABOUT IT
HIDING THE TEARS IN MY EYES
'CAUSE BOYS DON'T CRY
BOYS DON'T CRY
 
I WOULD BREAK DOWN AT YOUR FEET
AND BEG FORGIVENESS, PLEAD WITH YOU
BUT I KNOW THAT IT'S TOO LATE
AND NOW THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO
 
SO I TRY TO LAUGH ABOUT IT
COVER IT ALL UP WITH LIES
I TRY TO LAUGH ABOUT IT
HIDING THE TEARS IN MY EYES
'CAUSE BOYS DON'T CRY
BOYS DON'T CRY
 
I WOULD TELL YOU THAT I LOVED YOU
IF I THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD STAY
BUT I KNOW THAT IT'S NO USE
AND YOU'VE ALREADY GONE AWAY
 
MISJUDGED YOUR LIMITS
PUSHED YOU TOO FAR
TOOK YOU FOR GRANTED
THOUGHT THAT YOU NEEDED ME MORE, MORE, MORE
 
NOW I WOULD DO MOST ANYTHING
TO GET YOU BACK BY MY SIDE
BUT I JUST KEEP ON LAUGHING
HIDING THE TEARS IN MY EYES
'CAUSE BOYS DON'T CRY
BOYS DON'T CRY
 
BOYS DON'T CRY

Yesterday I got so old
I felt like I could die
Yesterday I got so old
It made me want to cry
Go on, go on, just walk away
Go on, go on, your choice is made
Go on, go on, and disappear
Go on, go on away from here
And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
In between without you
Without you
Yesterday I got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside
Come back, come back
Don't walk away
Come back, come back
Come back today
Come back, come back
What can't you see?
Come back, come back
Come back to me
And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
In between without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you, without you
Without you, without you

… I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday, I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday, I'm in love

… Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate

… I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack
Thursday, never looking back
It's Friday, I'm in love

… Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday, stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday, I'm in love

… Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate

… Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throw out your frown
And just smile at the sound
Sleek as a shriek, spinning 'round and 'round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday, I'm in love

… I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday, I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday, I'm in love

… Do-do, do-do, do-do, do
Do-do, do-do, do-do, do
(Oh, oh, whoa, whoa)
