The Cure have released “A Fragile Thing” as the second single from their upcoming album Songs of a Lost World, and have also revealed the full track list for what will be their first full-length in 16 years.
Frontman Robert Smith says “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. It can often be very hard to be the person that you really need to be.”
