❤❤Anyone here in 2024??❤❤

My name is Elise. I'm 17 years old. I love The Cure. And with this song, my life is already complete.

My parents saw The Cure live when I was in my mum's belly and they named me after this song and I was born the same year the album Wish came out, 1992. This amazing song makes me very emotional and proud of my name 🥰

This song is so addicting. I'm a Cure fan. They are so amazing with every single lyric. ABSOLUTE GENIUS

I've been a massive fan of the Cure since I was 15 in 1996. I always said if I had a daughter I would call her Elise, after this song. I'm now 41 and I have a daughter and her name is Elise and I couldn't be more proud ❤

A Letter to Elise is a letter to everyone and everything you miss and love/ed that you just cannot possess/have/be with any more nor do you quite want/need to but a part of you still kinda does?!❤

My sister loves the Cure. She died tonight.

Been a fan since '87 when I first heard the "Kiss Me, Kiss Me" album.

There will never be another singer and band like the Cure. Pure genius!

Hello I am from Russia. I heard this song in 1992, I had a cassette and there was an album called “wish”, this song was a favorite on it. I am now 43 years old and I have three children, the eldest daughter is listening Cure

As I walked into my dark bedroom and layed on my bed and had the radio tuned into the only alternative music station on AM in Phoenix, AZ, The Cure's 'A Letter To Elise' came on. The last single from their album 'Wish'. As I laid there in the darkness, I strangely reminisced about my life. It was the end of my adolescence. And my life as I knew it changed drastically after that November night in 1992. Thank you to The Cure for another major bookmark in my life. It couldn't have been done by a better song and band.

Somehow I feel "A letter to Elise" is the gifted daughter of "Pictures of you" both songs are amazing, deep and awesome. Thank you The cure for this eternal gift.

A much underrated Cure song in my view . So many great songs .

Every song they perform is magic. No other band can do it.

I named my daughter Elise because of you! Always The Cure to my life!

I know I’ll never really get inside of you to make your eyes catch fire the way they should

Only the instruments transport soooo many emotions and then roberts voice...aweaome

One of the most emotional guitar solos ever. 2:44 - 3:22

I named my daughter because of this song

I' m 52 Years Old. I Love The Cure.

OH GOD, I'M IN LOVE WITH THISS SONGGGGGGGG 💐🖤

0:29 [Chorus] Oh, Elise it doesn't matter what you say I just can't stay here every yesterday Like keep on acting out the same The way we act out Every way to smile, forget And make-believe we never needed Any more than this Any more than this 1:08 [Verse] Oh, Elise it doesn't matter what you do I know I'll never really get inside of you To make your eyes catch fire The way they should The way the blue could pull me in If they only would, if they only would At least I'd lose this sense of sensing Something else that hides away From me and you, there are worlds to part With aching looks and breaking hearts And all the prayers your hands can make Oh, I just take as much as you can throw And then throw it all away Oh I'll throw it all away Like throwing faces at the sky Like throwing arms round yesterday I stood and stared Wide-eyed in front of you And the face I saw looked back the way I wanted to But I just can't hold my tears away the way you do Elise, believe I never wanted this I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about But I let the dream go And the promises broke and make-believe ran out 3:22 [Chorus] So, Elise it doesn't matter what you say I just can't stay here every yesterday Like keep on acting out the same The way we act out Every way to smile, forget And make-believe we never needed Any more than this Any more than this 3:48 [Outro] And every time I try to pick it up Like falling sand As fast as I pick it up It runs away through my clutching hands But there's nothing else I can really do There's nothing else I can really do There's nothing else I can really do At all

Anyone here 2024

Wonder if the music you listen to in your wonder years molds the person you will become? I hope this music did the job.

Considering Robert has been happily in love for a whole lifetime, he really Wrights some sad songs about lost love ,

One of the best songs ever written.

Having a relationship where you give your all, but she doesn't reciprocate and slowly drifts away... this song really hurts to listen to.

My name is Elise and when I found this so I was so suprised that there was a song with my name. When I was listening to the song it brought me back to the time my mother played this song... I love this so much

This is one of the finest songs I’ve heard in my lifetime.

Watching this in 2024.

I had a gf named Eliza (which is kind of the same but in Spanish). I couldn't make her eyes to catch fire the way they should, and I couldn't stay, just as the song says. I remember her with a lot of love and I wish the best for her. I have not heard anything about her on the last 15 years but I hope she is doing great. I played this song for her once, she loved it. And every time this song is played on the radio or KZfaq, it brings me all those good memories. I'll never forget her.

Robert is a genius

Simply one of the greatest songs ever written.

I named my daughter after this song. She's 16 years old now and loves The Cure ❤

I love to imagine her (Elise), reading the letter, to be the music and him, who wrote the letter, to be lyrics. It's pure heartbreak...

Anybody else in 2020?? ❤️

Somebody else feels that fuckin feeling when Smith says “There’s nothing else i can really do”? ):

makes me melt the way Robert sings never looking straight into the cam ❤️

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say I just can't stay here every yesterday Like keep on acting out the same The way we act out Every way to smile Forget And make-believe we never needed Any more than this Any more than this Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do I know I'll never really get inside of you To make your eyes catch fire The way they should The way the blue could pull me in If they only would If they only would At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else That hides away From me and you There're worlds to part With aching looks and breaking hearts And all the prayers your hands can make Oh I just take as much as you can throw And then throw it all away Oh I throw it all away Like throwing faces at the sky Like throwing arms round Yesterday I stood and stared Wide-eyed in front of you And the face I saw looked back The way I wanted to But I just can't hold my tears away The way you do Elise believe I never wanted this I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about But I let the dream go And the promises broke And the make-believe ran out... So Elise It doesn't matter what you say I just can't stay here every yesterday Like keep on acting out the same The way we act out Every way to smile Forget And make-believe we never needed Any more than this Any more than this And every time I try to pick it up Like falling sand As fast as I pick it up It runs away through my clutching hands But there's nothing else I can really do There's nothing else I can really do There's nothing else I can really do At all...

simply one of the most beautiful works of musical art of the music industry on the planet.

One of their most beautiful songs.....deep, deep words.

3:10 they made a mistake by shortening the guitar solo for the video release . that solo is meaningful emotional well written music . a highlight composition in the bands career .

I thought you were the girl i always dream about But i let the dream go And the promises broke And the make believe ran out... Hits harder each time i listen.

"To make your eyes catch fire the way they should"

i love you, my flame in the night, conversations with myself at 3am💜👩🏻‍🎤📞✉

L un de leur meilleur album... La mélancolie L espoir... Les mélodies Sublime Merci cure Merci Robert

A song about a couple who no longer love each other but stay together in the hope that they can rekindle what they once had but knowing its over. Neither can bare to be apart from the other but both know its time to move on. This IS the Cure's best song. "And the face I saw looked back the way I wanted to" The narrator is saying in the letter everything he/she is too scared to say to elise in person even though you can bet Elise has has written the same letter 1000 times herself. They'll both be sad remembering happiness

So an underrated song. I wish it had more appreciation. Lyrics are so deep and timeless, you could hear it in a hundred years and still will be dedicated to all that relationships that fail.

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

One of a kind. Long live the Cure.

Lyrics Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say I just can't stay here every yesterday Like keep on acting out the same the way we act out Every way to smile forget and make-believe We never needed any more than this Any more than this Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do I know I'll never really get inside of you To make your eyes catch fire the way they should The way the blue could pull me in If they only would If they only would At least I'd lose this sense of sensing Something else that hides away From me and you there're worlds to part With aching looks and breaking hearts And all the prayers your hands can make Oh I just take as much as you can throw And then throw it all away Oh I throw it all away Like throwing faces at the sky Like throwing arms round Yesterday, I stood and stared wide-eyed in front of you And the face I saw looked back the way I wanted to But I just can't hold my tears away the way you do Elise believe I never wanted this Thought this time I'd keep all of my promises Thought you were the girl I always dreamed about But I let the dream go And the promises broke And the make-believe ran out So Elise it doesn't matter what you say I just can't stay here every yesterday Like keep on acting out the same the way we act out Every way to smile forget and make-believe We never needed any more than this Any more than this And every time I try to pick it up like falling sand As fast as I pick it up It runs away through my clutching hands But there's nothing else I can really do There's nothing else I can really do There's nothing else I can really do at all Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Robert James Smith / Simon Gallup / Perry Bamonte / Boris Williams / Porl Thompson A Letter to Elise lyrics © Fiction Songs Ltd.

I was expecting this song to be played in the last concert in Peru 😭😭

I love this song. Melancholy, yet beautiful. Some dreams are just that: a dream. And meant to be let go of, unfortunately, as much as it may hurt to do so.

Orchestrated perfectly. The lyrical songwriting is a masterpiece.

"... and every time I try to pick it up, like falling sand, as fast as I pick it up it runs away through my clutching hands. But there's nothing else I can really do at all" 💔

The Cure for the rest of my life♥️♥️♥️

Anybody else in 2019??

My grand-daughters favourite song 🥰

Najlepszego w dniu urodzin Robert 💖

god I miss my college days... it was very dark and humid. only one person I could share with these songs.. I'm glad that I knew him back that time. though we lost in touch now but it is sweet memories.

not listened in a while, it's mad how how many songs you find relate to life...

This song is heartbreaking 💔

I'm here today because Heather B. Armstrong Hamilton has been gone for one year today. She brought me here. This song inspired the middle name of her oldest daughter. I love you, Heather. There's nothing to forgive. 🕯 💔

One of the saddest songs I’ve ever heard! This is absolutely beautiful ♥️

This is one of my favourite Cure Songs...... and I don't know why. Just magic

Magical band, the forever king of emo.

favorite song ever

I don't know how many times I listened to this and when I do now it still feels Just like heaven. It really helped me get through a hard time and I love it so much. Forever grateful to them. My Cure.

I'm 18 and I love The Cure, this is band is fucking amazing! The Cure changed my life

Named my daughter for this song ❤ one of my favorites

He wouldnt feel this song. So there was nothing else I could do.
