Cocteau Twins - Winter Wonderland

[flaxlawna]

well the winter wonderland is still just lasting outside my window

and old frosty hasn't given up the ghost just yet. i think of all the

songs this has the most decipherable lyrics. i guess elizabeth

kept it more middle-of-the-road thinking it'd be booming away in

woolworth's during the holiday shopping season. she tailored it

like frosty tailored with a cashmere scarf.

[shum65]

@flaxlawna Its the same here too,icy and a chance of more snow later.

My word, Im feeling all Christmassy lol :@

[flaxlawna]

@shum65sable kingaroo listing

ab bee bull shy wears hipsters too tight

war king in a want and underland.

[shum65]

@flaxlawna Lol R U drunk haha? :))

[flaxlawna]

@shum65 no i'm tee-total

or should that be coffee-total

[shum65]

@flaxlawna lol maybe Teafee total :)

[flaxlawna]

@shum65 now Teafee is someone i should know.

[shum65]

@flaxlawna Ha-ha, it sounds delicious to :))

[futuristfood]

why.

[shum65]

@futuristfood Hi there, why what? :)

[futuristfood]

@shum65 why did they do christmas songs? it's , for me, a real turn off..

[posypity]

this reminds me, i once rushed out in the squelchyslush to take photos

of snowladen pussywillowbuds. i'm like living in a winter wonderland

as i'm like looking in at an old tv shop window, able to view your videos

in location no.1 but without the sound [but i guess its the more avante

guarde way]. at location no.2 the old ice-pulse has frozen again. that's

when i just gush on about elizabeth.

[shum65]

@posypity You always create an amazing image with your

comments my friend, loving them , many thanks for taking

so much time to comment, much appreciated posypity :-))

[createallow3126]

You should check out their version of Frosty the Snowman. They do more justice to that song than it deserves. It kicks.

[shum65]

@createallow3126 Hi there.its a great version they did of frosty,

I did a video to that one the other year my friend, :-))

[createallow3126]

@shum65 Great job on the vids. I just subbed ya' :)

[shum65]

@createallow3126 Hi there my friend, thanks for your kind

words,glad you enjoyed the videos, and thanks for the sub :-))

[syderwarp]

OMFG Stupid commercials need to fuk off



[shum65]

@syderwarp Lol I know they are a bit of a pain, :-))

[cmarcallen]

Hmm, never heard this before. I don't think it's bad per se, I just don't like the idea of it.

[shum65]

@cmarcallen Fair point my friend, but I really like their version :)

[futuristfood]

@cmarcallen me niether,. ew.

[killerbacteria1]

Some bands just shouldn't do xmas songs~

[shum65]

@killerbacteria1 Lol I know what you mean, nice version tho :)

[futuristfood]

@killerbacteria1 exactly.

[JarrefanErPenombra]

Merry Xmas everybody :)

[shum65]

@JarrefanErPenombra U to my friend :))

[milltown420]

Love love love this. My favorite version of this song ever. I listen to this every year...THANK YOU for the upload and glorious video.

[shum65]

@milltown420 Hi there, many thanx my friend, Happy Chrimbo :))

[bazza2610]

@mscococrosie If indeed you actually do have ears, may i suggest you get them syringed, it's free on the NHS you know!

[chubiduwa]

lovely version of my favourite Christmas song!

[mscocorosie]

This is terrible. I'd rather be dead than finish the video.

[shum65]

@mscocorosie Hi there, sorry you didnt enjoy this cover mscocorosie,

Thanks for your comments my friend, :)

[mscocorosie]

@shum65

Aside from not liking the cover I do, totally appreciate people who upload rare music and stuff. No insult to the uploader and thanks for contributing to the youtube music archives.

[futuristfood]

@mscocorosie exactly...

[bunnyzero0]

This is wonderfully woozy! Fantastic.

[shum65]

@bunnyzero0 Hi there glad you enjoyed this dreamy cover :)

[lilclerk]

Does anyone know if there was a simpler version? With just the vocals and bells in the background? That's how I remember it, but I may have been making that up.

[shum65]

@lilclerk Hi there, Ive only heard this version, but maybe you

heard a live version? it could be possible, try looking on Google

Search, something may show, or even try looking on a site

called mp3ify.com, hope you find what your looking for :)

[thatvinguy]

@lilclerk I think you are right. The first time I heard this song, I seem to recall a much simpler arrangement.

[lilclerk]

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR YEARS. I never thought I'd find it, you have no idea how happy I am, haha.

[shum65]

@lilclerk Yay thats so good to hear my friend, glad you finally

found this amazing version by the Cocteau Twins, you made me

happy also ;-)) good to hear from you !!!

Snowy bliss! I'm drenched from being out in a chilly rain this evening. Just a few degrees colder, and we'd be snowed in like in some of your shots. Oh well, winter's just a few days away, and maybe we'll actually have one this year. If not, I'll just keep playing your vid, shum, and imagine I'm walking through it, too!

[shum65]

Hi bobbs,Its been raining here 2 today,but its

still quite cold! so fingers crossed for the

big day!!

We had snow last year? Well,I wedged cotton-

wool around the garden,but it looked really

good,most effective!!(Until it blew away!)

Thanks bobbs!! Merry Christmas!!
