      I used to play it on repeat. I could sing but as my voice was breaking I sang through it to this and other eighties greats, who knows I might have been the new Dave Vanian if I had taken greater care. Doubt it!

    Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan said that Dave Vanian's dance moves and stage persona were a huge influence on him in the early 1980s. Gahan said that he used to nervously cling to the microphone stand during his early performances, but watching video of Vanian and imitating him inspired him to move about on stage more and then he became more confident and would later develop his own style. After watching this I now know exactly what Gahan was talking about. The stage presence and dance moves from this era are very similar between the two.

      I’ve seen DM a lot through the years…and Dave really did develop confidence and change his stage persona. I think he was really at the top of his game around ‘98/‘99
      He was fantastic on stage at Madison Square Garden - I danced along with him at my seat the entire time!

    I was fortunate to meet a lot ppl when I was younger and lived in Philadelphia. Dave Vanian is top of that long list he was the nicest guy and one of my teenage crushes so when I met him in my 20s cause he came in the Halloween store I was working at (imagine that Dave Vanian visiting a Halloween store unheard of lol) I thought I’d hit the floor. I pretended I had no idea who he was though I most certainly did as soon as he came through the door just so I could talk to him like a real person. We talked for like a half hour. Nicest and most favorite person I ever met from bands I loved. He was with the Phantom Chords at the time and not with the Damned. Been great to met them all! Love the Damned! Seriously Underrated band! And in person.... my GOD he was beautiful!

    It's amazing that Dave Vanian had such an operatic baratone/bass voice it isn't praised as much as others.

It wasn't until The Damned began recording music like this that his voice was able to be appreciated for what it was.

    I remember well when Eloise was reborn...
    Such a transcendent moment and STILL renders me weak at the knees each time I hear it (almost daily!) God bless Dave Vanian and The Damned

    I've seen the damned live and seriously love this song. If I ever have children, I might name my daughter Eloise. Just so eloquent and dark. But soothing.

    Was never into the Damned much as a punk band and only took notice of them when they went through this Goth phase. The good news is...they’ve STILL got it, Dave Vanian has hardly aged since then and it was quite something to see him immaculately turned out on News at Ten a while back . My only regret is I wasn’t more into them at the time...still, better late than never !

    Went to see the damned live in Dublin around 1985 in the Sfx hall.
    It was so wild and rough I was almost crushed in the crowd
    but they were great live .an experience.
    Eloise was my favourite song

    I love this song so much... I spent 9 years at University down in Exeter, I went out a lot, and I only remember 2 songs from my whole time there - one of them was Atomic by Blondie and the other was Eloise by The Damned - my 2 favourite songs - good times and great music!!!

    Every night I'm there
    I'm always there
    She knows I'm there and heaven knows
    I hope she goes (Eloise)
    I find it hard to realise
    That love was in her eyes
    It's dying now
    She knows I'm crying now
    And every night I'm there
    I break my heart to please
    Eloise
    Eloise
    You know I'm on my knees yeah
    I said please
    You're all I want so hear my prayer
    My prayer
    My Eloise is like the stars that please the night
    The sun that makes the day
    That lights the way (Eloise)
    And when that star goes by
    I'll hold it in my hands and cry
    Her love was mine
    You know my sun will shine
    You're all I want you've got to hear my prayer
    My prayer
    My Eloise I'd love to please her
    I'd like to care but she's not there
    And when I find you
    I'd be so kind you'd want to stay
    I know you'd stay
    And as the days grow old
    The nights grow cold
    I wanna hold her near to me
    You know she's dear to me
    And only time will tell
    And take away this lonely hell
    I'm on my knees to my Eloise
    You're all I want you've got to hear my prayer
    My prayer
    You are my life so hear my prayer
    You are the prize I know you're there
    I know you're there
    You're all I want you gotta hear my prayer
    Yeah yeah yeah
    You're all I need but you're not there
    Oh no you're not there
    No no no no
    Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
    My Eloise
    Oh I'd love to please her
    Oh my Eloise
    Oh my Eloise oh my Eloise
    Don't lie to me
    I said no no no no
    My Eloise
    Ad lib to fade
