The Cure finally won their very first Grammy Awards, but they weren't on hand to accept the honors. The reason for their absence was heartbreaking.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
