    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 🥰

    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.

    I dedicated this song to my cat on his last day of life, he was fighting an incurable disease, it was one of the hardest experiences of my life to let him go. Whenever I heard this song, the lyrics seemed to speak to me, I didn't know how to express what I was feeling at that moment but this song seemed to say it all. Since then, whenever I hear it I miss my little friend so much. This song is very special to me.

    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 RUclips, it brings me all those good memories. I'll never forget her.

    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

      Robert was one of many who played with David Bowie for his 50th birthday at MSG in 1997. They did Bowie's "Quicksand" together. Always had mutual respect for each other.

    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...

    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

    The Cure has so many songs that are just so captivating. A Letter To Elise is no exception. It's among my favorite Cure songs. So many memories this song brings. I was 16 in 1992 when the album was released. The bass, the lead guitar, the drums, everything just perfect in this song ☺️☺️☺️.

    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

    the best band ever and their greatest song.. the sadness behind this is what makes it so good... A relationship where the love ran away a long time agoo but both parties cling on to the hope that what they once had might one day come back... The letter write is admitting the truth that it never will but still not walking away... what a fantastic song Writer Robert is...
