Reminiscing The Past

Pernah punya lagu yang selalu bikin lo smile and flashed back to the old days..when you were still pure (hihihi okay no such a thing) anyway I am serious about this song thing, I have a lot of songs that reminds me of the good things and the bad things in the past. This song is one of them, I do not say that this song reminds me of bad things happened in the past but about something in between.

You fell in love (ya rite like I knew what love is about at that time..) then you realised that you were being fooled, your life was miserable not that miserable but miserable enough. And when I listen to this, the song was at that time was a good representation of how I felt.

I have heard this song many times before through a very best friend of mine, Erfan a true fan of The Cure (unfortunately he is not with us anymore, May Allah bless his soul) who dragged me to become The Cure lover but I did not associate it with any events going on in my life at the time until years after that.


A Letter To Elise
smith/gallup/thompson/williams/bamonte

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...

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
and every time i try to pick it up like falling sand
as fast as i pick it up it suns away
through my clutching hands
but there's nothing else i can really do
there's nothing else i can really do
at all...


A Letter to Elise is the third and final single taken from the album Wish from The Cure in 1992 according to Wikipedia and it is not played very often.

I do not know why I like this song very much, I never get bored of it buat gw artinya dalem aja gitu according to my interpretation to this song gw juga belum nanya sih ama yang buat. Lagu ini emang tentang Cinta and choices that you make in order to get the right Love I guess (bener apa ngga ya booo) tapi Ngga tau ya kadang denger lagu ini antara senang dan sedih and makes me want to go back to that certain point in my life and going through my stupid love life again you know how wonderful sometimes being in a crossroad and just lost in it and be stupid, hehehehe you just do not do that kind of thing anymore nowadays ya iyalah secara gw udah merit, kalo iya selingkuh dong namanya...

Gila ya setiap kali dengerin lagu ini gw jadi berasanya gimana gitu, berasa bego berasa I am lucky tapi ngga pingin juga ngerubah what had happened, kalo ngga ada kejadian-kejadian circa that time mungkin gw ngga jadi seperti gw sekarang.

Anyway.....a good peep to the past and how I miss it now
