| "the big hand" was a b-side for the single "a letter to elise." this song actually made it into the cure's live set in 1991 during the secret gig at the london t&c club, long before the "wish" album release. in fact, "the big hand" was almost included on the "wish" album, and was actually included in some advance copies (being reviewed in spin magazine in fact!)...so it was expected as a b-side by many fans. the first single "high" didn't have it...the second, "friday i'm in love" didn't have it...and then finally "the big hand" appeared on the single for "a letter to elise." it was also played during the wish tour, but very very rarely...another note...the ending credits of the official video "picture show" play on screen as an early instrumental version of "the big hand" plays in the background. |
