The Cure - letter to elise

[carxcel]

Amen. I could'nt agree more guys. But that's the thing though... i don't think he wants any member of the band more better than him. I totally understand. I would never hire someone less dumber than me. Let's just bring our ipods next time we'll see them live. I actually don't have one but my "zony" walkman is still alive and kicking!!! Oh yeah, Did i mention auto reversed?

[myinfluence2u]

Yes please Robert, bring Boris back!

The Cure deserves a real drummer not that amateur called Jason Cooper!

[amigajenni]

Robert should get rid of that idiot drummer called Jason Cooper... the blondie is killing all Cure classics and making a shit from the new ones.

There are some pretty good songs from 1996-2008 but The Cure is too big for Jason.. the guy's technique and creativity is poor and doesn fit a band like THE CURE!!!

[darioism76]

The Cure was great in the 80`s and early 90`s. While Wild Mood Swings had some good songs, their last great album was 1992`s Wish. The band sucks now. Either terminate The Cure and start a solo career or cut off your hair and make-up and have Porl Play drums and get rid of Jason and be a 3 piece band again like in the old days!

[kittenfactor]

Agreed. Its starting to get a little hard to watch. Once they came out with that AWFUL AWFUL song "Mint Car" I was done. "I'm so happy I could burst!" ??? REALLY? Guh.

[myinfluence2u]

Boris Williams = the best drummer for The Cure!  period

[alfredocalamaro]

BORIS WILLIAMS is a GENIUS!!! and badly missed nowadays... his sound and musicianship are wonderful.

[The1ne07]

I listened to a live version with Jason(and up to this point,I didn't mind) and now I hate him. He ruined this song live. I could probably do better with The Cure than him.

[myinfluence2u]

not only 'a letter to elise' but all of the songs from the old catalog! he's ruined just like heaven, at night, open, in between, etc. with those awful pre-recorded percussion sounds! jason is the worst thing ever happened to The Cure.

[hitlerfanboy]

what a solo rob, love it, all of it. peace out

[MalibuStacyRS]

Everything is perfect when I hear Robert singing.

[defectiv79]

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 .... wehave so many tough times in life especialy when we try and fail... this sums it up perfectly

[Alwayscritical90210]

That is one of the most powerful, poetic lines I've ever heard...wow.

[knyeland]

This and "To Wish.." Two songs I put on repeat just before I broke up with the longest relationship I had to date. Felt like my heart was being yanked out of my chest.

Thanks for helping me through, Robert.

[enaek34]

Wow, a classic a almost forgot about

[grugef]

Hey, but it's not complete! The first half is missing!

[VanityInPerson]

This song made me love the name Elise. :) And Robert Smith is gorgeous.

[cartoons1010]

this is one of the songs that give me that happy feeling, but it can also get me to cry at times.

the cure is the greatest band ever.

i will always love this song and this band.

amazing.

[pink2ndgen]

oh elise it doesnt matter what you do i know ill never really get inside of you to make your eyes catch fire the way they should

[lctm3]

behold one of the BEST bands in the WORLD!!

[evolevoljen]

i named my beautiful 14 year old daughter Elise. and i knew when she was still inside me i would fail her, over and over.

[Wesy07]

How exiting. Elise is such a rare name, I love that its in a song. (my name too)

[EliLaPunk]

I really can't listen to this song without crying.

And my name is Elise.

[Thomas578866865]

also very true@!

and if it comes up as anything else than the truth,

than its not true@@@!!

excuse spelling, reason?

multidimensional!

[buddhika216]

i like this

[wadejen31]

I thought you were the girl I'd always dreamed about! but I let the dream go and the promises broke and the makebelive ran out.....

[allsfullofluv]

this song makes me smyle

[whilecitessleep2732]

amazing song. so good.

[thecurearethebest]

i love the cure there music is just amazing

[purpleplaidflower]

My name is Elise... and I must say that I was rather excited when I found this song!!! =)

[goingawaysomeday]

Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all,

[betor77]

great song

[nolometangere]

I love this song but never listen to this when your depressed... seriously -_-

[Ryudies]

I know the cover blink 182 does..but I think the original is much better!

[mrsrobertsmith87]

love it

[deedeeramone78]

I love this song........easy on the ears :)

[zascar23]

My little girl is named Elise, blue eyes and all.  'The way the blue could pull me in."

[karenzitaloren]

So offer this music for her.

[cinamongirl89]

Definately one of the best cure songs. I love it so much, if i have a little girl I'm going to give her Elise as a middle name

[flpcross]

wow, i swear i had the same idea since i started to listen to the cure :D

[Homie7777777]

Mae kit sno!

[Jonwoofpazza]

they are just fucking brilliant...simple as ...this is one of their "unknown" songs and it just...sigh...brilliant

[Zeuq71]

I love this song since it first came out!

[Barbis2cool]

I named my my daughter Elise after this song.

[kreanth151]

That is awesome! I have two girls and their mothers said no to that.

[kreanth151]

My favoriate Album is Pornography, but I think Chemistry wise this was the best Cure line up, either this or Disentegration.  Blood flowers was there last really good album but i still own them all and will go to any show near me.

[209antz]

Blood flowers was so under rated. I agree its one of my favorites. good call...

[yorkshirebobdylan]

Every time a watch the cure and hear the songs i just smile, cry, and feel happy.....................bril­liant!

[lesbordsdemer]

Une de mes favorites, beaucoup pleuré sur cette chanson, trop belle !

[boolshoiboose]

good song

[skullbonz]

I am an ALYSE!! Close enough. This song is very painful for me and fits the situation so perfectly VERY starcrosssed yet I think about it now..some day a book will be writen about it! Now I can only cry and be happy in my life now! and wish others well.

[chimichangacookie]

I WISH I WAS ELISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This is an AWESOME song!It really gets to you!

It makes me want to cry but its an awsome song!Robert Smith sounds like an Awesome guy!:)He is really HOT!He sounds like a sweet guy!<3 <3 I WANT TO BE ELISE!

[amyjb198]

wow this is awsome as all of roberts songs

but this is one of my favs wow do i wish i was elise

[sundaegirl1965]

This song makes me cry.

[Mooka101]

i just started listening to the Wish album again and i can't stop listening to this one!!!

[highfencejumper]

We've all had an "Elise" in our lives at one point, my Elise was Kendra.

[highfencejumper]

"like throwing arms 'round yesterday, I stood wide eyed in front of you." Wow! That is music! That is a man in love!

[amyjb198]

wish i was elise

[TheRealThomasDelonge]

[umbillicalnoose]

[profitprophet368]

[mrsxierox9]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

[aaroncalavera]

[stillwaterseven]

[stillwaterseven]

It makes the entire song.

[AcaiBerryMONAVIE]

Elisabeth

[PHARRAOH]

ive been watching these guys since smith was a skinny kid. fuck! im old ! wtf! where did all the years go. dying time is neer! :-) it's been one hell of a ride.

[boolshoiboose]

goood song

[xautomaticeyesx]

no one really thinks about death , until they hit the age =D

[southsidr73]

I always thought that this was the worst song from the "Wish" album, and was surprised that it was released as a single!

[sadiemae81]

Are you crazy?! I love this song, to me it was like a continuation of Picture of you...

[Lewi121212]

the joker from batman lol, in a good way

[xautomaticeyesx]

fucking loser

[maalstroom1974]

What's wrong with what he/she said?

[perrituspecial]

IS THE CURE FOR MI MIND... .

[AshleyyT]

Aww, this is such a sweet song! Thanks so much for uploading it satochan!! =]

The Cure R0CK My World!!

[pepcee27]

The cure has the amazing ability to pull the emotion in me out. The lyrics and flow of this song grasp the emotion of feeling in love and desperate.

[GreenBanana92]

i love this song...

it really expresses all my feelings i feel right now.. wonderful

[boolshoiboose]

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooood

[flyngsnow]

GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLL! LOL!

[Opticon87]

LOL XD

[maquiaveldoido]

do caralho the cure e muito louco , umas das melhores bandas do mundo thanks robert smiths for songs

[FreyRawwr]

Amazing song (:

[wolfmoon2682]

its funny cuz to me, some songs are amazing! and others just dont do a thing for me, like Burn! it's amazing! love song! amazing, Elise, amazing! and some others i cant think of, but then like friday im in love, i really cant seem to enjoy, no matter how hard i try. strange.

[ramonesaudibert]

the cure's solos and riffs are always the best... tons of reverb!

[bunter1031]

years back my best friend bought front row tickets to the cure as an incentive for me to recover from major surgery.i made the concert against all odds.i love the cure!!

[travislemon8]

fantastica........i love the cure

[shomaye]

Muito bom esse som...

[tomyorke26]

i didnt know they have this video, this is the 1st time i see this video.

from the Wish album, one of their best songs.

[Wtfpk13]

this song is terrible. plain and simple.

[musicbeatz7]

one of the best

[tabacoytekila19]

increible

[FallowFieldHillBilly]

i know ill get slaughtered for this but blinks version is better

[blindman789]

they both bring something different to the table i don't understand why everyone gets so butthurt when people say what they think

[frostbitesuxass89]

i can agree with that...

[esjakeis86]

that is the stupidest thing you could ever say!!

[BonBonSlayer]

I'm finding it quite interesting that that's got -6 at the time I write this because you're volunteering your own opinion. Says a lot about people really.

[BonBonSlayer]

btw, i was talking about a different point there but foolish youtube (or more likely foolish me) didn't do it right.

[gaineddalead]

seconded

[Cabbageman1234]

That's so amazingly amazing it's AMAZING

[XOKITTI3BAB3XO]

[shomaye]

That's my name~

[metalmaniac11]

This is a wicked fucking tune.

[SingingAleze]

Bah! I like -no love it- but no one can ever pronounce the damn name right! It's (Ah-leezz) not (EE-Lease)!

Great song though. *goes to download*

[shomaye]

I say it as "EL-EESE"...

Haha.

Most people say uh-lease, though.

[dioncat]

love them 4ever.................

[sjonesi41]

awsome lyrics...as always with the cure if you didnt get there lyrics move on because you never will

[ajmalkkhan]

A song not worth forgetting ever again! Note to self: get your ipod up and running so you can listen to the songs from (I sound really old!...)...your Lp collection!

[savetheanimals75]

LOVE DIS SONG!!!!!!

[oscaressence]

hiiii guyyy !!! al menos una vez al dia me acuesto o me levanto con elisa.... increible!! en la cama?? that's the cuestion.. 1 abrazo!!

[caseiro92]

Who cares about the writer? let's listen the song and that's all \o/

[oscaressence]

joder!!! nunca decepciona robert.... su tono de voz hace que cualquier cancion sea preciosa!!!

[mayadilia]

beautiful song..

[MarkusCallaway2006]

the cure should charge those crap bands, esp. 311 (since their fans are ignorant and arrogant dickheads) lots and lots of copyrights!

[Xephon212]

No they should not. All artists should be able to cover each others songs.

The Cure covered Jimmy Hendrix and Depeche mode, for example. It's all good man.

This isnt a damn dictatorship.

[iv1492]

saddest most beutiful song

[marceloarnas]

The Cure >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Blink-182

[reflectedsin]

Shitty bands need to stop covering The Cure. The Cure's version is obviously better so stfu. And no, 311 DID NOT write "Love Song."

[eddieskyclad]

I'm sure you'll find they did ;-)

[kirstykel]

No they didn't. Robert Smith wrote Lovesong as a wedding present to his wife in 1988. So I'm sure you'll find you're wrong ;-)

[eddieskyclad]

I'm sure you'll find you're mistaken. Nick Hexum wrote both tunes in 1984 as a tribute to his mum ;-)

[kirstykel]

I'm not mistaken, it's a well known fact that Robert Smith wrote it to Mary Poole just before they got married. Don't even bother replying, you'll only embarrass yourself in front of a bunch of The Cure fans ;-)

[eddieskyclad]

Whooooosh... Next you'll be telling me that Katie Melua didn't write Just Like Heaven.

:rolleyes:

[Xephon212]

It's cool that bands cover each others songs. The Cure covered Hendrix and Depeche Mode, for example.

Maybe some Blink fans found out about the cure through the Blink cover of Letter to Elise and vice versa.

I always prefer The Cure, theyre my fave band. The Cure have influenced a lot of bands-big time-so its natural that many bands cover The Cure. Its not like it hurts the beauty of the original.

[leibstandarte109]

ya thats how i came to discover the cure was through the blink cover

[9863658]

me2

[SecretCrowds44]

haha you know the first time i heard of the cure?

it was when robert smith appeared on a south park episode years ago hahaha

[iklipa182]

i did man hahaha its funny you should mention that

[lovecat444]

piękne to!

[kiszoniec]

Łza sie w oku kreci gdy spoglada sie w tamte czasy

[saintjimmi192]

OK as a massive Blink-182 fan

I like the singing better in The Cure' version Robert Smith sings it better than Hoppus (IMO) but i like Blink's version better because they play it faster. So if i had to pick ot would be The Cure's version

[neonprints]

robert smith pure talent none better

[thenextinline321]

i prefer blink 182's version

[ilylay84]

The Cure are the best i'm sorry jilly!

In this video Simon is so coollllll!!!!!!!

[jillyfoxhound]

loooooooooooooooove it

[anggiregar]

The Cure....bukan main !!!

[nikocure]

una OBRA MAESTRA DE KANCION, una de las MEJORES de the cure =) está por el area de pictures of you , las dos realmente inkreibles.

[jam6627]

My God, one of the saddest song i ever heard... but this is one of the best song ever written by the cure....

[lucydiamond182]

absolutely love

[karabinas]

saw them live for the first time in 1985, my most influential band

[helmetel]

This made me cry

[ivany3]

me too

[blinkMATIC]

i love this bass line

[lepkefas]

faktticky

[lepkefas]

popicofka, tota pesnicka

[blacksheep555]

cudowne!

[filmnoir1967]

The emotional depth to this band is overwhelming. They are truly romantics in the pure sense. To bring together the mental and emotional connection into words is challenging for the artist, but for the romantic its more treacherous, but they seem to express that treachery very well of human follies. Robert Smith , reminds me of the late Heath Ledger as the joker in the upcoming Batman movie.

[MarkusCallaway2006]

Robert Smith is a genius. What's so special about Heath Ledger? And what's the connection between the two?

[filmnoir1967]

I just added an extra comment, If you take a look of the new Batman trailer you would see what I mean, heaths make up in the movie reminds me smith make. of The rest of the comment is for a person who understands the Romantic Standpoint.

[malandrino78]

Questa musica e questa voce è pura arte

[goneresistance]

I named my daughter Elise because of this song, and her eyes are blue!!

[slapenya]

I understand you

[slapenya]

goneresistance, I understand you

[ttrjs]

Simon adores Robert, I think that is so admirable in a man and I once read in an interview he considered Robert his best friend! Simon is a very sweet and special person!

[LoNgLiVeRoCk1234]

Yeah, Robert said that if Simon were to ever quit, he would too. I hope I can have that type of a relationship with my band mememberss. It isn't very likely though.

[skeleman]

the bass player?  wow......

[hxcrawker13]

i see how he feels though...im attached to my band..(mostly my drummer my bestfriend) and btw the bass is extremely important

[ElyseHouston]

What brand is the acoustic he's playing?

[mrmarks65]

A Jasmine??? Not too sure.

[dioncat]

tooooooooooooo beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!
