The Cure - A Letter To Elise (Unplugged)

[chetumalkid]

Listening again to this song it brings me so many memories from very difficult times. This song was there with me when my world was nothing but darkness and had no will to live at all. Listening to this song back then kept enough beauty inside of me, beauty that made me feel alive and happy for it.

[freeyourselfpower]

So intense!!!!

[jraehol]

My favorite Cure song and favorite version. It rips right through you.

[Neoworkx]

The MTV-Unplugged-Album ist the best of the rest, i wish, the talented boys make some noice in the future for us. so great, so creative, so unique, so cure!

[gfalangola]

I know I'll never really get inside of you

To make your eyes catch fire

The way they should

[Karolcia1993]

Magical...

[Dylanslb1]

Belos tempos...

Muita saudade...

From Portugal.

[toruguineo]

how can someone dislike this song?

[captainfrags]

Love my daughter Elycia and love this song xxx Dad :)

[Lacrima010]

this song makes me happy and sad at the same time. weird. or just the cure. ♥

[toorad69]

@Lacrima010 i agree



[arzuagas2]

She can be mine again but until then no matter how far away i will always love you elizabeth lopez aristizabal

[arzuagas2]

While in high school i fell in love with a beautiful girl from bogota colombia who i still talk to today, however the cure was our band if you could say. Robert smith just has a way with words that i could never come up with. She was ripped from me and the pain is still there everyday but we both have grown and life has taken course but every time we talk there is just sometging unexplainable about our love that we shared that still to this day we are both madly still in love...maybe one day...

[danidelafuente1]

[TheCureInYourHouse]

[MrGarryhornsby]

I named my daughter after hearing this version of this song.

[jfelipe994]

[smokeverbs]

I always prefered this version over the album version. Lyrics are better and more hopeful.

[iloveoldschoolanime]

[tnm140]

the soundtrack to my life!!

[burooj119]

Strip it all away and The CURE are one of the Greatest Bands of all time. And Robert Smith has no equal. Been a fan since the late 70's, early 80's...and will be forever. Thanks for Posting.

[Thecuregalore94]

This is undoubtedly my favourite song of all time. This particular version, this particular performance...Just stunning.

[TheWhateverwhoever]

for genius music like that- THANK GOD it was made -past time: now- it's nothing else to do at all (robots on work).

[ncraig915]

I'm a young fan of The Cure (24 now, been listening for ten years.) When I decide to have a child, the name for a girl is already picked out!

[batmansascientist]

"Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do, you know I'll never really get inside of you, to make your eyes catch fire the way they should"

Probably my favourite lyrics of all time, the whole song is a masterpiece.

[nicolasvalentin2]

one of the best songs ever. we all have our elise. thank you cure



[chauhchao]

Epic song!~ Best Hairstyle!~

[nicolasvalentin2]

one of the best songs ever!!

[valadc98]

Am I mistaking or are the lyrics different??

[MehdiGlz]

@valadc98 Robert sometimes changes the lyrics on live performances and even some notes, but he says it's ok, he sometimes forgets the lyrics but sings what he feels right. (source: interview on trilogy dvd)

[valadc98]

@MehdiGlz Soo... My listening is terrible (english isn't my first language) could you please write the lyrics? :)

[TheCureInYourHouse]

@valadc98 If you ever get that lyrics please send them to me... I have the same problem as you :p :)

[DJMarcO138]

@TheCureInYourHouse 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

[DJMarcO138]

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

[DJMarcO138]

@DJMarcO138 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...

[DJMarcO138]

@DJMarcO138 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...

[TheCureInYourHouse]

@MehdiGlz and he always feel the right things! :')

[MehdiGlz]

@valadc98 Robert sometimes changes the lyrics on live performances and even some notes, but he says it's ok, he sometimes forgets the lyrics but sings what he feels right. (source: interview on trilogy dvd), but this time they are very different though

[jdb123ize]

I love this song and have been promised by my son my grandchild will be named

Elise!!!!!

[johnboykfc]

...and my youngest is called Elle, (Elise)...I wonder why!

[TheImaginaryGirl86]

thank you mr smith...thank you for being my imaginary boy!!! <3 you!

[jwdipietro]

sound quality is poor but this is the best version of this song

[pisshand050794]

[rockygonzales1]

Love this song! It always reminds me of my youngest daughter. Her middle name is Elise.

[NiVEK1w0N]

love this early version

[TheCureInYourHouse]

@NiVEK1w0N Do you know where I can find these lyrics???

[zo0zo0ni1201mj]

@NiVEK1w0N me too!!! Why are these lyrics so different frome the official??? Could you write them down for me? At least from 2:15!!! I am not good at English since i am Greek and i find it difficult!

[kyledoherty]

thanks for uploading this......

I miss their music. There was something special from this time of music. It was emotional....it forced you to feel something.....

Nice......

[alexdvance]

@kyledoherty You're saying that only music from this time was emotional and made you feel something? ...You're doing music wrong.

[jaseo224]

@kyledoherty thats what real art does,forces you to feel something without your consent,it pulls it out of you.
