"A Letter to Elise" is the third and final single taken from the album ''Wish'' from The Cure in 1992. It was made public for the first time on MTV's Cure-"Unplugged" show in 1991 and had very different lyrics from the later version to be released as a 7". The B-side "The Big Hand" was planned as an A-Side single early in 1993 but the idea was scrapped, largely due to Boris Williams not wanting the track to appear on the album but having no qualms about it appearing as a B-side (from KROQ radio interview with the band in 1992). "The Big Hand" is one of the few B-sides to be played live, although very rarely. It was first played in 1991, performed a few times during the Wish Tour in 1992, then revived at the Ultra Music Festival in 2007, and popped up, though rarely, during the band's 4Tour World Tour 2007-08. Letters to Felice by Kafka was a huge influence when Robert Smith wrote the lyrics of the track. "A Letter to Elise" itself was revived by the band's new Smith/Gallup/Thompson/Cooper lineup in 2005 after being played sparingly, if ever, during the Smith/Gallup/Bamonte/Cooper/O'Donnell era. Like "The Big Hand", it was not played very often, and was usually a pleasant surprise to fans when it popped up in setlists. ==Track listing== 7" single #"A Letter to Elise - 4:20" #"The Big Hand - 4:52" 12" single #"A Letter to Elise" (Blue Mix) #"The Big Hand" #"A Foolish Arrangement" CD single (ficcd46) #"A Letter to Elise" #"The Big Hand" #"A Foolish Arrangement" #"A Letter to Elise" (Blue Mix) A Promo features yet another longer unreleased mix, with phaser on Robert Smith's voice.
