Video: The Cure – “Hello Goodbye” (The Beatles Cover)

This is perfection.

This coming November 18 will see the release of The Art Of McCartney, a tribute album dedicated to the work of one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th Century: Sir Paul McCartney. The special compilation will feature covers from Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson (The Beach Boys), KISS, Perry Farrell (Jane’s Addiction), Smokey Robinson, Alice Cooper, and many others.

Our first look at this album comes via The Cure, who brought along James McCartney (Paul’s son) to help them play a gorgeous rendition of The Beatles’ “Hello Goodbye.” It’s just brilliant from start to end, with the band playing a version of the song that’s pretty close to the original but with just enough Cure quirks to make it their own.
