The Hollies：Meaning of Dear Eloise Songmeaning

The Hollies' song "Dear Eloise" is about a man who is writing a letter to a woman named Eloise, who he had a past romantic connection with. He has heard that her previous partner has left her and run off to sea and is trying to console her. However, the man also takes the opportunity to tell Eloise that he had warned her about her older partner and that she should have listened to him, as he was only interested in using her. The man insists that his letter is not only meant to make Eloise feel better, but also to try and win her back. Overall, the song is a plea for Eloise to reconsider her choices and come back to the narrator.
