From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea 100%.  It's definitely one of my fav Cure Songs.  And the reasons behind it, are so emotionally complex that I couldn't possible explain them.  I will say this though, that song touchs EVERYTHING in my entire being and soul.

I can't choose just one favourite from this album.. I am in love with all the songs... TRUST is pretty close to me now... I love the keyboards in this..... and Top of my list.. Open, FtEoTdGS,end, a letter to Elise..,an of course, to wish impossible things.  :smth020

From the edge of the deep green sea is wonderful; To wish impossible things and Trust are pure poetry; Open so honest.

This album is a masterpiece  :rocker

I'd say High. it's a song that gives me chills every time I hear it. The whole album is good though. There's not one song I don't like.

The atmosphere is the best on the whole album. Each song has a different feel.

High is a clear winter night with the sky full of stars. Doing The Unstuck is a spring day up in the mountains. FTEOTDGS is a windy but bright suny day out on the sea in a large sail boat. A Letter To Elise is a stormy Summer Night in a quiet city, or a lighthouse. And Friday I'm In Love is just the joy of riding through a scenic road on a autumn day with a clear sky, the colored leaves of the trees making the setting look like it came off a painting.

That's how I feel when I listen to Wish.

And no, I'm not on drugs. XD

CUT
A LETTER TO ELISE
FRIDAY I'M IN LOVE

Soooo easy for me to list every song on this album, but I'll limit myself to -
Open - the guitar, the bass line, the lyrics, the imagery, the voice..."and the way the rain comes hard, that's the way I feel inside"
From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea - simply an epic..it invokes so much imagery and emotion for me - simply spellbinding
End - such a lush sound, such great lyrics, such a great voice.  I love listening to this when I feel completely over stuff - "please stop loving me, I am none of these things"

And I agree with you Lordsquidy, the imagery and atmosphere on this album is amazing - who needs drugs when we have Wish?

The choice was difficult  :roll: because I love so many songs (Apart, trust, cut, open, doing the Unstruck... they could almost all have been my choice!) on the album but I finally decided to vote for From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea. I guess I like it because of the lyrics, they kind of echo my personal experience...

Aaaach!  I can't just choose 1 song here!  I really love this entire album, except for a few songs that I tend to skip over because they're just too "happy" or "pop-ie" for me (Doing the Unstuck and Friday I'm in Love).

I'm sorry, I really can't choose a favorite because it tends to change all the time for me.  I LOVE THEM ALL  :smth023 :smth023 :smth023  No voting on this one for me, sorry!

edit ~ I tend to also skip over High, but LOVE all the other tracks on this one!!

From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea, there are no words really to describe this song, its just heartbreakingly fantasic but i also really love A Letter To Elise it makes me cry actually it makes me cry even just thinking about it :smth089
Wish is just amazing its like letting everything go its like just sitting on the shore and letting the waves go right over your head and not caring about everyone else

boneheadhaggar

To Wish Impossible Things - simply beautiful, a very hard choice to make though :smth001
its nice to be nice

I think the whole album is great  :smth023

Dammit¡¡¡ i's so hard to pick one off this album... it'll be easier to tell which one i don't like (wendy time if you are curious)

The first Cure album ive ever heard was Disintegration, i "borrowed" it from one of my uncle's friends  :lol:  so wish was the very first Cure album i bought, "Open" it's the best opening song ever (no pun intended... but the first time ive heard "Deep green Sea" with my sony walkman, on the bus back home after buying the casette tape... it opened a door to a different world to me... it changed my life since the very first time... i will never forget.

For me, the song that rescued that lp was End.
I do like Apart (that's the soppy git in me talking there  :oops:), but End is terrific.
Open is also great, but once you here it live, the LP version seems pretty weak by comparison.
