Cocteau Twins - Oomingmak

[TheMauvetys]

i like their sibyllin titles of songs

[ghoatghoat]

CT were way ahead of their time. Victorialand is timeless.

[chevronist]

I've just spent 3 weeks travelling round Europe in my 2CV - I only took 2 cds and both were Cocteau Twins. This is the most moving song I have ever heard .....

[gagarciaLuis]

Este video y un buen churro... pff les juro que les cambia la vida!

[carlogiove63]

awesome

[divamachina]

You will never find the lyrics to this song..Some of her songs are English [Heaven or Las Vegas], but most of them are her own words she made up....

[starflyre]

@divamachina Sigur Ros does the same thing with lyrics...

[45pjones]

Watching snow fall with this playing in the background cannot fail to give you butterflies.

[JuanLorenZerimar]

This is such a terrific video...A glimpse into the astral realms....

[TheNorseLegend]

at the time of release, nme said,and i've a very fuddled memory, that this was either the no.1 track to fuck to or die to.i guess i shoulda laid off some drugs cuss mixing that up  would be a bitch..

[azureoful]

I love Liz's voice !!



[katerperez]

This is the best song on the album, although picking one favorite is sinful.

[seventeenboi]

i love Victorialand!

[Adeldee]

[artornottobe]

well done with the video, to a beautiful band, and thanx.........

[milobarron]

they played it at my birthday (live)!

[kraseloveglowing]

love to death n beyond... we will be flowing thru the infinite, holding this music in every molecule.. resonating thru all of existance.. with smiles permanently shining...!!!

[synch08]

Everytime at 1:05 when the chord changes and Liz's voice envelops the song I lose myself for a moment. It takes you to places you never knew existed and others you did but maybe lost along the way. In my 26 years of living Victorialand is one of the greatest pieces of art I've ever come across. Awe inspiring...

mescalinelike

[fontaineauxfees]

Très belle vidéo...et la musique un bonheur...

[wcleighty]

[pjmpjm99]

Wonderful piece of music - I too was lucky to be in my late teens when this was released - happy days!

[motherginsling]

One of my fav.5*

[cesana1000]

lindo..parabens

[betocracks]

PERFECTO

[Qumak13]

Pearl of a song! Sublime, touching, perfectly sung by Liz. What she makes with her voice at 2:10 makes me shiver, always. I can see now how fortunate I was growing up while this music was being introduced to the public by CT! Beautiful times!

[freudastaire]

[ribeiromarc]

Maravilhoso!

[sammyll08]

C'est merveilleux! Merci Cocteau Twins!

[CLESZAEN]

Excellent!

[pianohbc]

My newborn son used to fall to sleep when this was put on- so very handy as well as beautiful

[Franterr]

muy buén trabajo, estoy seguro que a los fans de CT les va a encantar este video.

[noseeumsf]

I just discovered that Oomingmak is the Inut word for musk ox.

[BetteDillinger]

Absolutely gorgeous, and you did a wonderful job with the graphics. My favorite song off this album. Elizabeth Frazer's voice, so beautiful.....does anyone hear any language phrases? I am trying to pick them out but the reverb makes it hard.....

xo

Bette

[maamaadou]

It doesn't sound like english to me. But i think she sang with no particular words, she just used her beautiful voice, a bit like a bird singing.

[pianohbc]

This is Fraserish- Elizabeths own language- she sometimes sings in English or part Englis- the rest is her own wonderful gibberish and quite beautiful it is too - where she does sing English its also quite beautiful " I love my friends, my family, I have myself- I still have me "

[Bongofury361]

@BetteDillinger Don't knock yourself out trying to discern any intelligible words in their songs, because I don't think there are many!

I have read that, in fact, Liz is actually singing English, but that she interprets the words in her own way, vocally.

Just enjoy the lushness of the music, as it flows over your body, soothing your spirit, and calming your mind!

[reni991]

It doesnt get better than this, sublime

[SpiderwomanZZ]

Writing and photography - cheers!

[SpiderwomanZZ]

Inspires me!

[joecocteau]

Love CT, first time hearing this. Wow. What album is it on?

Great video thanks for posting this.

[FukaName0000]

It's on Victorialand.

[santoshasong]

Thanks. Must get Victorialand.

What a beautiful video.

[joostisabelle]

a beautiful video!

[alaala666]

That's one of the greatest songs of CT !! Thank you for posting!! Does anybody know if they ever played it live??

[muscarines]

I use to have a few cocteau twins bootlegs (about 20 years ago).I know they played a few tracks from Victorialand,but not sure if they played this track live?

[mcclatty]

I saw the cocteau twins live in glasgow in 1986 on the victorialand tour and I'm sure they did play this track live.

Only 99% sure because it was a long time ago but it was always my favourite track on the album so I'm sure I would remember if they didn't play it. Anyway hope that helps.

[chevronist]

@alaala666 I think it's the most beautiful song ever? So much feeling out of two chords.

[yesjanaka]
