  • 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.... what a beautiful song, sad but beautiful, robert smith, a poet.........

  • this song is the most beautiful song ever

    thecure4ever!

  • I still think this is the most beautiful song ever written.

  • universalmusicgroup U CAN DISABLE THE COMMENT 4 THIS SONG WHY THERE ARE NO WORDS ABOUT THAT :) EVER BEST SONG

  • de verdad que the cure ellos tienen una complicidad cuando tocan son unicos i love the cure

  • lol WTF was up with Simon's hair?

  • hahaha omg i can't believe you actually use the name robertsmithisapussy for your youtube acount!! seriously??? what the fuck did robert smith ever do to you?? so you hate him but you take time out of your lame life to watch his music videos!! idiot!!

  • Give me a video of you, i would like to compare.

  • thank you! :D

  • i have to say...while the original version is indeed better...blink-182's version is not terrible! they played it at a tribute to The Cure...doesn't that at least deserve some recognition?

    The Cure's version is still better, however...i enjoy blink's version too

  • No, the blink 182s version was not a cover. It was a copycat. There is a difference. Johny Cash covered NIN's Hurt, and made it his own.

    Blink 182 is a shit shit shit sell out band.

  • Just cuz they're successful doesn't make them sell-outs.

  • Blink's version was terrible it made this Amazing song sound like absolute crap!!!!!!

  • Oh were all a bunch of "fucking bitches" arent we? Because blink 182 is the most manly bad ass band on the face of the earth right? Even though they have that cheezy pop punk sound and have girly ballads like Adams Song and I Miss You? You come on hear embracing a mediocore POP punk band like Blink 182 and were the "fucking bitches"? Settle down son. The Cure arent exactly manly either but they at least know how to make something beautiful. Blink 182 would be nothing without The Cure.

  • atleast they dont wear makeup

  • Adams Song is about suicide you ignorant mother fucker.

  • Umm I beg to differ. Both Blink-182 and The Cure are amazing. And calling Adam's song and I Miss You, one of the best songs ever in my opinion, ballads is just ignorant.

  • I agree 100%! Blinks version was like high school students playing for their school.

  • There's nothing else I can really do...

    beautiful...........

  • My first love sang me all the time this song (my name is Elisa).

    But I don't know the meaning of this song!

    could someone help me?? THANK YOU!

  • Check out the lyrics on one of the many lyric sites, but I've always taken the song to be about breaking up a realtionship that was not working. In fact, when a couple of my friends split a few years ago, this song described the situation perfectly.

  • i think this song is either what ZeroAlphaActual said about breaking up a relationship that doesnt work, but it think that its when elise stops loving her partner for something he may have done or maybe that she never did love him and her partner has just come into recognition with this. sorry if this has taken the romantic feeling out of the song for you

  • it's perfect! I have always thought it is a song about a broken up relationship, but I was no sure because I have found a site where the meaning was drugs and something like that!

    thank you manngunner!

  • lol that just sounds like a sterotypical analysis of any cure song, thats its just about drugs hehe, its was my pleasure

  • it is a break up song. Its about a guy whould just simply couldnt tell his wife anymore so he left her a note.... the song tells a story, i ilike songs like that.

  • This is my faveorite song of all time, robert smith is a amazing song writer as good as blinks verison it will top the original, the cure should get outstanding coutrbution at the brit awards

  • beautiful song these guys r awesome

  • 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...

    LOVE it

  • this song grips me by the heart and squeez's me :0( but i love so much

  • I have been listening to the cure for 20 years, still sounds as good as when i was 15

  • Robert Smith sings this with emotion. The words have meaning in this version. The cover, has no feeling to the words. The Cure's will always be better because they had the vision of the words, of the beauty that this song has. You cant find all of that in the cover

  • What a handsome cutie pie, and a talented song writer. Sweeps me off my feet!

  • just listened to 'blinks' version... and he skips over the words like they are meaningless.

  • to all those who say cover versions of this are better .. kiss my arse... no one and i mean no one can sing this with the emotion robert does....

  • Absolutely!!!!

  • ....the cure 4EVER.........  :)

  • cut the craps

  • If it was so much better why didnt these bands write it?

  • definetly agreed

  • It was all downhill after this...

  • this is the saddest song ever. i've lived that very pain, and the wounds reopen when i hear these beautifully portrayed words.

  • great song  one of my faves

  • Aw Stinker Bear writes such good music, cuddley Pooh!

  • my name is pronounced like elise too but its spelt the french way. Ellice :)

  • wow omg! So many emotions...

  • This song is a letter to his wife. All of you are freaking retarded.

  • I am the Elise of the song...after 20 years ...Nobody can understand the song..it is not a love song.I can keep the sand in my hand now...

  • Elise is not the real name..it cames from the avenue Champs Eliseé in Paris

  • You're insane

  • This song was written for and about his wife. you people are retarded.

  • SOOO COOOL!!!!!!!!! MY NAME IS ELISE!!! but it's spelled with a y, Elyse.

  • The cure, really does cure it all.

  • I Like Them Anyway.Long Time Now is one of my favorite

    Group.

  • I love this song + pictures of you

  • great to find a small gem from a timeless band.

    ace

  • I totally forgot about this song. I just searched my name and it came up. Now, I'm kind of sad. This song really reminds me of the first boy I ever loved.

  • They just don't make music like this anymore. These days its plastic and digital.

  • Not even close. Not even remotely close. Could you imagine a quuality track like this being played in the radio right after one of The Black Eyed Peas crappy songs?

  • Hell no. And I am glad they don't. I like having this band mostly to myself. It's also awesome to go back and see the old videos so easily. You couldn't do that in the old days.

  • Comment removed

  • I used to be in love with a girl named alyse.

    and she left me for another guy, because i was too "real" for her. But she had no idea how much i loved her ways/

  • when she said you were too "real" for her.... she probably meant you were too much of a "weirdo" for her

  • this so is just so amazing i love it

    thecure4ever

  • Soo ahead of their time.

  • What are you talking about? That is there time.

  • its my name!

    :)

  • i love the cure. best band ever.

    i like the blink 182 cover too. those boys made a good word.

  • I named my daughter after this song. Just such a beautiful tune.

  • To jest piękna piosenka.

  • So beautiful.

  • LOL i love this song and im just a kid lol! oh i wish he was my dad hes just passoinit (im 9 so i hop i spelled that correctly) my mom and him are perfect for each other! and i miss *YOU* and u know who *YOU* are.

  • 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
  • o MOJ BOZE cure slucham tego od malego

  • It will always be my favourite song. God, when i was at a concert and they played it live, I cried because it was so beautiful :(

  • I always cry when I hear this song. :(

  • all time favorite song!!!!!♥

  • I thought you were the girl I always dream about...but I let the dream go...

  • All time favorite! xo

  • Cure i LOVE you

    I thank you from the deepest of my heart for all these wonderful moments that you've given me, all those feelings you awaken.... you entertain and touch my soul in a uniqe way

  • lullaby by the cure rocks! even though it`s kind of scary, the beat to Lullaby is the best!

  • I love the song Fear of Ghosts...I love The Cure...All of it...just...elegant, perfect, beautiful......

  • intenso demais....apaixonante!!!!!!

  • the only thing the music industry is focused on is little pieces of paper called money thats why good bands haven't been signed in a while

  • i agree.i would say 15 years or so,,

  • i agree 100% percent. music used to be about... the MUSIC, you know? now its all about having hot girls in music videos and having a catchy melody, the rest doesn't matter as long as they make a lot of money out of it.

  • i don't even think those are "catchy melody", they are just some noise that can't go into my brain. only music like The Cure's can stand the test of time. those hip hop crap and pop crap will flush into toilet like shit.

  • thumbs up :)

  • I love you Robert! x3

  • They should have the option of REPEAT on youtube.....I get tired of having to go back to play again after the song finishes........is there one and I am just missing it?

  • They should have the option of REPEAT on youtube.....I get tired of having to go back to play again after the song finishes........is there one and I am just missing it?

  • which is the best Cure song? im new ;0)

  • I love the originals, like Love Song, A Letter to Elise, Pictures of You, High, To Wish Impossible Things, In Between Days.....just click on various song and you will find YOUR best songs! enjoy!

  • There are so many. Charlotte Sometimes, 10 15 Saturday Night, Boys Don't Cry, Just Like Heaven, 100 Years, Lovecats, The Caterpillar, even Burn is pretty good. You can't miss with The Cure.

  • A Chain of Flowers

  • Amo esta canción!!!

    No me fastidio de escucharla mínimo 1 vez al día cúal buena medicina.... es hermosa!!!

  • emocionante...

  • why disable embedding? it's free fucking advertising!

  • People in the music industry aren't exactly known for their high intellect

  • You can't prove that,you can find a lot of really intelligent people in music industry.

  • No that's all just a facade.

  • Oh Elise...

  • PARFAIT

  • Ты всё..

    Таня..

    Всё.Не будем жечь рестораны..

  • I love this song!!

  • Greatest band ever.

  • almost all rock bands Idolize the cure.

  • one of the cure's best songs for sure

  • first time hearing this band. the singer has an awesome voice

  • You need to listen to more of their stuff...their instrumentals can also stand on their own without the vocals. One of my favorite bands.

  • these guys are so awesome, blink 182 idolizes them too.

  • alot of better bands than blink 182 idolize the cure.

  • when you find a better pop punk band than blink 182 u let me know

  • you should shut the hell up you have no idea what your talking about

  • alright first of all i play bass, and blink 182 has some of the catchiest riffs, and the lyrics are about what it's like being a kid, if u don't like there lyrics when u were a kid ur parents were probbly rich and gave u everything u wanted, and rise against is not 10 year old stuff, there lyrics are some of the best out there

  • ok if you are satisfied with bands that have some catchy riffs and lyrics that children can relate to..fine i guess, you can have it. and no, rise against's lyrics are not some of the best out there, in fact they are quite mediocre example: "we give it all, this is the reason why i sing, give it all, these reasons belong to me" ..i wouldnt call that some of the best lyrics out there. Pink floyds lyrics kick their fucking ass thats for sure. I am not rich either. about middle class.

  • i kind of wanted travis barker to die in that plane crash.

  • You're going to die with a knife in your neck.

  • im gonna die shooting a load on your daughters face

  • Oh, my daughter that I don't have? You're a dumbfuck, go die right now.

  • Nope unlike stupid iraqi children i will stay alive and ridicule your life

  • your an idiot...

  • Not to get in the middle of it, but Rise Against is an amazing band and their not for 10 year olds. Their music has messages. Listen to swing life away by them it's an amazing song and it'll probably change your perspective.

  • ahahahah funny thing is i heard that song and liked it when i was ten . now its boring to me. saying that it will change my perspective shows that you have not heard some of the best lyrics out there. pink floyd, sonic youth, my bloody valentine, all of them have messages and go along with good music. rise against is just poor musicianship. its all been done before.

  • So what if you've gotten bored of the song, doesn't mean it's still not great and has a great message. And i'll give you that pink floyd and sonic youth are good but my bloody valentine are horrible. They're wanna be metal and they suck. The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, The Beatles, The Cure, Depeche Mode, The Strokes and The Killers. They all play good music with good messages.

  • ahhhhhhhh you kill me man. MBV is not even clooose to metal and no they dont suck. you might be mistaking them with another group? They are an 80s shoegaze band and are extremely innovative and influential. You just lump a couple of shitty bands with good ones. the killers and rise against? get rid of them and get to know the real my bloody valentine and then i would be fine with your tasste in music. i never said i got sick of swing life away.. i found other ,better music through the years .

  • Alright, don't call me man. And sorry, you're right their are 2 "My Bloody Valentines" and the new one sucks shit. And you said "now it's boring to me" pretty much the same thing. And The Killers are my favourite band, but I understand that most people don't like them cause they're kinda out-there but there music is great if you havemy taste.

  • nah ill still call you man, man. and when i said it was boring too me i meant in the sense that i have found better more interesting music. And I dont dislike the killers because of them being "out there". they are pretty normal rock actually. i sorta like one of their songs but overall they are a little too pop for my taste. bands that would be "out there" imo would be like sonic youth or massive attack and experimental stuff like that, which dont get me wrong is good but i think the fact that

  • I have heard the killers on the same stations where i i have heard lil wayne would support my opinion on it being too pop.

  • Yeah, they are pretty pop, i know, There first and last albums were the most pop-like, but I think their lyrics are more important than the fact that you can also dance to their songs.

  • Well, the early Cure (1976-1980) was more post punk, and then they kinda went through a goth rock/dark wave phase, and have been alternating between dark wave and pop for the past 24 years, at least that's the way it looks to me. They're a real versatile band in that they can constantly shift styles so easily and it sounds good, no matter what.

  • No, no I was talking to jcs1234jcs about The Killers. But I agree with you about The Cure, I love them. :)

  • Oh, I'm sorry about that, my mistake.

    And the cure are wonderful. I wish i'd known about them sooner then i did.

  • every time that i hear this song... is just like other world... and everything is broke... it`s a perfect and beautiful song, that breaks hearts ♦♣♠

  • i love this song. they are truly amazing.

  • perfect, no words can describle this song.

  • i sing this song every day when im sad

  • Simplesmente perfeito!!!!

  • Goosebumps- sigh....

  • this song makes me break into tears. it is so sad. it is so brilliant

  • I adore this song so much!

  • I love this song, love love love.

  • Ahhh............I love this song. It reminds of my first love. We had to part, she was mature and I wasn't. :(

    Any of you women want to console me?

    Just kidding. :)

  • the blink 182 cover of this is actually awesome. hard to compete with robs voice though

  • the cure actually is the cure...kills the depression fills me with the obsession to life...thanks cure, and not to be rude, but there are more members than just robert, lets love the whole crew.....FUCK YEAH

  • thecure is the best never compare them to the smiths both parties would be insulted but they are both good bands in their own magical way!

  • I LOVE THIS SONG.. ITS THE BEST!!!

  • His songs tell a story I love that about his music

  • Ever notice that the beginning sounds like pictures of you?

  • @MM96:

    Yes... and then it goes into a similar sound to the middle of In Between Days where he sings: Go on, go on....

    Lots of similar threads/notes in their music, but still very different. Genius of the Cure IMHO.

  • send me a message if you think THE CURE should play at royal albert hall they comepletly deserve it

  • why would they want to play in front of a self serving bitch of a queen anyway

  • they did... like 4 years ago

  • one of my favorites

  • the cure is the best band of there time

  • i agree the cure are the best band of there time BUT they are the best now too this is one of my fav song but it is to hard to choos a fav wen there all amazing

  • sotrue =)

  • YES!!!! In all honesty, I can't stand Blink182, sorry,just don'tlike them.

  • Agreed :D

  • someone in the letter to elise cover actually said that they where the modern version of the cure. Did the cure make dick jokes and run around naked for their first 4 albums? i didn't think so.

  • This song will always be a reminder of the true love i lost.

  • They should be sued for saying that. They don't even sound like The Cure! The Cure are a gazzilion times better!
