lorelei/cocteau twins

[IcyScythe]

I love that thing she does at 0:53

[IcyScythe]

so is this trip hop like massive attack or something else?

[fredilexi]

@IcyScythe - you could say that. cocteau twins were a major part of the 80's, so, they were probably the inspiration for all that came after.

[mzbfromthebay]

@fredilexi the cocteau twins are much more than some triphop act like massive attack. listen and educate yourself mr!!!!!

[fanacloche]

J'ADORE cette musique!!!

[SegoleneMarie]

i love this song even though it's older than i am, but i have to admit the lyrics are kind of whoa especially the line "put your toes in my mouth, well make love, and we can go" thats some kinky stuff, but her voice is amazing, so it doesn't really matter lol

[iceybleu]

timeless beauty...

[fogcat1]

hey, thank's a million for posting this, great tune, nice video.

[spleenteam]

Simple. Pure. Magic. Words are really not enough to describe the majestic beauty of this song - I want it playing when I die.

[sandiegorandolph]

Can't look out, can't look in

Can't kiss right

Get yourself get right

Lift up your toes, in my mouth

We'll make love and we can go. and we can go.

[sandwichsteen]

This is one of the best songs ever.

[catnip4fb]

thank you for this...

[kozlonaut]

Superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr



[HondaDoraeMon]

yah, though the image doesn't match, i like to take this to attach on my fb

the image is quite sickening

no matter what i'm impressed with the sound quality

the others are of bad sound quality

dont worry, we can not have it in both way

thx for uploading this

[killerbacteria1]

HELP I am just melting with all these great songs--whatever happened to originality, oh yeh-that never was popular on the radio, except for college stations

[saraaarhus]

fredilexi: i think it's a lovely idea with the kaleidoscope experiment : )

[seriously0001]

Liz Fraser is great, good audio. I 'll never undestand the reason why to make this "personal video" with idiot collages and kaleidoscope.

[fredilexi]

Sorry to disappoint you serious0001! This was my very first attempt of playing with transitions. I agree it's not a great production and it's not worthy of the song. Forgive me! fredilexi

[ShemTheSham]

@fredilexi - I agree, but have to say the effect of high contrast black & white on the flowers looks pretty damn good, should experiment with that.

[BahmanG]

@fredilexi I like your video very much!

[sidDkid87]

@fredilexi don't take seriously0001 too seriously - i thought this video went perfectly with this great tune! excellent work!

[birdhaldol]

@fredilexi chill, you are ok. i'd like to see some strippers. it is a great song. its nice to see her sing. i was 16 when she married me. she can take more acid than is humanly possible. seriously0001 is a lesbian

[curtiscrush]

@fredilexi ....dont be so fast to apologize friend. no video is worthy of the twins if it isnt done by the band themselves. however, this is a nice interpretation. i happen to like it....so there ! lol

[cosmicrider287]

@fredilexi i think this video works very well.

i visualised it automically when i felt like playing this gorgeous song again.

[jammybin2]

@seriously0001 I'd ratehr they make a black screen video than no video at all, why hate? :c

[seriously0001]

@jammybin2

No hate, at all.

We all have our likes and dislikes. I'm not crazy for slide and kaleidoscopic patterns. BTW this song is magical... I just close my eyes and thank for sharing it.

[guypoop]

@seriously0001 Keep your rude opinions to yourself you poop. I actually think this is and interesting video, even if it wasn't they can make the video if they god damn please.

[seriously0001]

@guypoop listen to me, hellokitty: I wrote _my_opinion_ as far your girlfriend's personal video interpretation of this great song. Comments are open, I don't need your approval nor I'm looking for anyone. Apparently you seem to be the only one around here in search of flames and nothing else. But you surely know Cocteau Twins and E. Fraser works, isn't? No, they weren't emo.

Don't kick up. If you want to flame, then meet me in alt.flame. Bye

[mistersleeepy]

Cool song to dance to. By the way there was a wonderful band named Lorelei on slumberland records and fans of 'the twins' might like them.

[Triodus09]

Beautiful Music for Beautiful People

[riverseaoceanx]

Beautiful comment...

[francaudthierry]

transandant de pureté de par sa voix et sa musique

[skitsopaa]

the first song i heard from cocteaus. bloody brilliant

[Morthund]

perhaps their most typical or representative song? fuckit, I dunno, an audio-induced orgasm is what it is..

[kingofhome23]

Treasure was the first cocteau's album I ever owned. Haven't listened to it in years but going to order online. Still brilliant

[libvalance]

another cocteau great is " orange appled " or something like that lol great tune look it up

[STRAP8DOWN]

second part of lirycs

And we can go

And we can go

We're covered by the sacred fire

But when you cut me, you cut me to the bone

[JESSICAGOOL]

Strap, you kill a bit my fantasy. For me Liz Fraser'voice was like a musical instrument. Despite I understand a bit English, I always refused to understand words of Cocteau cause it kills the magical of sounds !

[fredilexi]

Yeah, for me their songs can be what you want them to be according to your own mood...

[harshgriev]

agree

brilliant!!!!

[lindario36]

My fav song of all time. This is truly incredible. J'adore!

[jeancocha]

OMG !! I didn't have listen to this since 20 years !! So magic !! Reminds me the old good times of new Wave ... Hi from France !

[ambientkitty]

this song is phenomenal!

[marvelind]

and then some

[nikneempje]

Brilliant song. Takes me back to the good 'ol times when real music was made.

[strangelittlegirl27]

I love them and her voice!..<3 Cocteau twins

[karmenpg]

WOW! I actually had this back in the day. GREAT to hear it again. God I've missed them! Yep...goosebump music!!!

[bazzsyx]

That fkn guitar.....SENSATIONAL!

[wetherholtz]

inconmensurable

[JESSICAGOOL]

dont worry they got true credit by their public !

[tytyskayya]

-Fantastic...Marvelous...

-Extrañamente etereo...El Corazón goza con el Tema...

-Die Liebe kann trotz nur Zuhörens dem zusammengefasst werden

[exhortation]

Best track by a country mile from "Treasure". Stunning!

[fzkny]

Cocteau is unique. Nothing like it before they existed or afterwards!

[intayayk]

o my god

[RomualdoMental]

berri gud guatch dis pippol it is rilli asombrus

saluds from uruguay, romualdo

[gusgorilla76]

Wow! I was looking for another song called "Lorelei" and found this instead. What a discovery! (Was this the inspiration for 808 State's "Europa"?)

[tommysonar]

Just bloody lovely!!

[astroman287]

pure bliss.makes my day,thanks a lot.

[elykarla10]

Lindo sempre adorei cocteau!

[rivethead134]

shoegazeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Sanitars]

without without without a doubt

[valtwin]

The drum beat is so simple, yet so infectious!!! It makes me think, "Damn, why didn't I come up with that!!" Cocteau Twins rule!!!

[AmericanOriginals]

Watch "Marilyn's Treasure" on my channel!

[latingem]

guys guys! one of the quirks of this band was that her language was all made up! it was all mumbo jumbo, snippets of this and that, that was such an amazing thing, so trippy and creative. that's why the lyrics were never printed! everyone could make of the songs whatever they wanted!

[mxbehmsLorelei]

sooooo hot!! I love it!

[1con0clast]

Listen to the bass during the bridge, it's trippy. It's hard to hear here though.

[fatcatbuzz]

I like how she uses breathing as a vocal technique in this song. It's makes the song even more amazing and original.

[Qbertube]

Approximate lyrics:

Get off the car,Kick his chain, Kick his pride

Get him soaked hit run

Lift up your toes, In my mouth

And we can make love

And we can go(x5)

[1con0clast]

Those aren't the official lyrics, those are just someone's take on what the words sound like. It's obvious that those aren't official lyrics as they make no sense.

[jbriandavies]

You make me laugh. I make up my own lyrics too. From what I heard she does too, which is why they were never printed on the 4AD label.

[mxbsLorelei]

..makes sense to me; don't think i kicked his pride, but the rest......oh, hell yes!!!! And it was sooooooooooooooooooo good...

[bachuskz]

someone can make a translation thanks from ignorant france

[1con0clast]

"someone can make a translation thanks from ignorant france"

Well, no one really knows what she is saying.

[Maxiekiz]

This song was my FAVOURITE when I was a teen - so much so that I always promised myself that I'd name a daughter after it. I now have a 3 year-old named Lorelei!

[toxict35]

@Maxiekiz

That's just cool. : )

[orianagrc]

whats she saying isnt half as relevant as how she is saying it

[mauvetys]

Nice vid and great tune!

The mythic Lorelei...

[jbriandavies]

I love to fall asleep to Cocteau or Mazzy Star or Bell Canto or Clan Of Xymox. I love old 4AD groups.

[fatcatbuzz]

Definately where Miki from Lush got her vocal style from. This would be a good band to copy. I want to get a drum machine now.

[samwexman]

i wish i knew what she was saying, but i simply can't.

[fredilexi]

it can be whatever you want it to be. think of it as a work of art, you decide what it means...x

[pur69]

I can't agree more strongly with that sentiment, fredilexi!

[astralhed]

perfect visuals for this very celestial song! great job on the video, 5 stars!!!

[kltkyle]

Programmed or live, this song has some of the best drum beats ever! Simple, yet so infectious!!!!

[glimmerwitch]

I've died and gone to heaven,

A perfect moment time and again...

Wow, how this song makes me feel has nothing to do with being mortal.

[ayazyam]

So right.

[fatcatbuzz]

All good music does that. Songs like this make you know that music is one of the most important things in this world. It takes away the evils and cares in this world if just for a moment. I guess you could say music like this is heavenly.

[poolsidenyc]

This is my CTwins jammy. Check it on a good system sometime.

[lapislazuline]

splendidly lovely in every way!

[nameofthepen]

What a find, Lapis!

Thanks for the share. Loved it. :)

[lapislazuline]

[sublimityeternal]

[deduero]

This just brings back so many memories, I just love how some songs just do that to me!! Ofcourse, this is a good one, and puts me in a good frame of mind as well! Thanks for posting!!!!!!!!!! ; D

[TONDELEON]

Great song, great vocals! I just love it!!!

[lallorona67]

My sound track of my love life with you R.C. Te amo y te amare hasta que me muera te lo jure.Sufro por no tenerte en mis brazos y en mi vida.Pase lo que pase con mi vida nunca te olvidare te extrano tanto que duele. Escuchando a CT siempre me hace recordarte aun mas y solo puedo llorar sola. Cuidate mucho te deseo lo mejor te amare siempre no lo olvides. CA ;-)

[mgk1064]

The absolute best 4AD could offer and they're fabulous!!!

[louping111]

HA..ca me rappel trop de bon souvenir!!tu te rappel valerie 7 chanson..les annees 80 mais meilleur annees...snif snif!!nostalgie kan tu nous tien....

[LustfulMind]

[canley1]

Penny bicycles indeed Ms Fraser!!

[amerthil]

[santoshasong]

hey, nice video by the way : )

[ImahGoer]

Wow, this song brings back so many memories. A friend introduced me to the Cocteau Twins music and this was the first song I heard......over twenty years ago.

[lakeakero]

This song seems to capture that excitement of being a kid again and waking up on a sunny morning with the whole of the summer holidays ahead of you.Yahhhhoooooooooo!

[ajagsfairy]

lovely great job.

[animaestra]

carino

[ahantabarzin]

To all those posting Cocteau Twins, thank you so much. Bless these artists, they have a way of filling even the darkest moments with clarity and joy.

[nevers6]

one of my favorite songs ever...

[DramaBaby1234]

Man, this song is so damn trippy. I love it!

[hollowmenrule]

the first time i heard this i felt like crying, the best songs by the cocteaus always make me so happy i could wrap my arms around myself AND cry from sorrow and joy (and no i'm not a wussy, i'm an artist(musician)

[musetteanddrums1970]

covered by the sacred fire...cut me to, cut me to the bone...i know its a cliche, but liz is definitely transcendental...She takes me to a place not on this plane...makes me cry every time, tears of pure joy.

[decoreh]

im not agree.enya its just a badcoverversion of all thesse music.cocteau twins its pure dream pop,shogaze mixed with dark totaly diferent

[sheepandgreen]

i love ct

[tomsega]

I often describe them as 'The Smiths meets Enya'.

Loving persephone right now

[durden461]

So true!

[ABCRE2]

Beautiful. Sounds Like An SP1200 Drum lick in here im guessing.

[1con0clast]

Love the bass during the "bridge"

[1con0clast]

I love the bass during the bridge on this song, it's trippy

[snoopdaniel]

This song is f'ing awesome!

[yankeleh]

I wish my parents had listened to Cocteau Twins when I was little. I would have been buying their albums years ago instead of just now at 22.

Great song.

[decoreh]

yeah girl.but its beautyfull too found music by your own.tellme¿wich was your feleeng when you listen this by first time¿.Good comment ive felt like that alot of times.you know i have few time of know this band,and i found peace not only in their music,also on their fans.,thanks

[yankeleh]

You're right. Discovering music on your own is rewarding.

First time I heard this, I felt relaxed. It's a very chill, peaceful song.

[gore2006]

I'm an 18yr old boy and i love this song! :)

[leothar]

Me too. XD

[docterjoy]

I'm 14 and I love the Cocteau twins, I listened to them with my dad when I was little and now I really like them.

[1FunMom3]

Ah, the memories!!!! All my kids heard this group while in the womb, and all my kids love this group still through today!

[penesexualanonadado]

[penesexualanonadado]

deseo pedir perdon x mis comentarios anteriores era solo una broma XD ella tiene una grandiosa voz

[Punorss]

This song reminds me why I stopped Listening to the crap in the charts many many moons ago.

[Squeaky1423]

Enchanting and ethereal, wonderful, magical stuff indeed, take me to another world!

[theclaret]

A great way to describe this song Squeaky.

Close your eyes and forget about today, tomorrow and yesterday.

[kedkid]

ridiculously beautiful.

[brusio]

fantastic song, singed from heaven or another place that we don't know.

But she does.

[Pohjoiskarjalainen]

Damn! Somebody tabbed my coffee again! Nah, nice video, seriously. This is one of the only CT songs I don't "get" though, somehow.

[skinnymexicanbuddha]

i have a feeling that liz's solo album will be comprised of all the duets she's done since separating from cocteau twins, such as with massive attack, craig armstrong, yann tiersen and god knows who else.

[toulonvar]

How much do the Cocteau's mean to me? Well I called my daughter Lorelei, after my favorite song!! Thanks freilexi

[gldmj55]

trippy song, the entire "treasure" album is money

[RAGEJJ]

Echo pavlik77. My mum died a few months ago, she was the only one out of my huge family who got the Cocteaus, and loved flowers! Cheers again, all the best to fellow music lovers x

[Bajsboegen]

love this song, i gotta buy the album

[sakindza]

They are beyond common reality, magical...

[tangent5000]

Everything this group does is good.

[nico792006]

This song makes me think of when i was dating the then govener of Illinois and then taking the

money he would give me to addition to paying my bills going and getting all messed up on drugs with my boyfriend..

[Isil1972]

I saw the Cocteau Twins in 1991 at Tulane University in New Orleans blasted out of my mind on hallucinogens....it changed my life. This song started off with a light display simulating a wave of water breaking onto the crowd...it was awesome.

[pavlik77]

I'm always struck dumb by the beauty of Liz's voice. It is a heavenly sound. Thanks everyone for posting the Coctaus and sharing the wonderful experience from their music with us!!!

[inphanta]

This track always reminds me of Christmas

[apublicsectorpension]

I am going to sing this at key stage 2 parents assembly infront of my daughter dolores

[fredilexi]

How did your singing at the parents assembly go?

[apublicsectorpension]

I chickened out and sang "will you come to the mission" & "combine harvester my lord" instead. Dolores was not happy.....

[Punorss]

it's a mind blower! When I first saw them play this live I went home and put my guitar in the bin because I knew that this song was perfection and no one would ever match it.

[tksawyer515]

I hear this, and I'm back in my old college apartment swaying my loneliness away. I'm glad another generation gets to experience the beauty.

[mazzafrenchy]

I named my daughter Lorelei Elizabeth in feb 1985 after falling in love with this track !

[lunadepiratas]

Sorry....the was " 1988 "

[lunadepiratas]

Yo creci con C.T. en Mza. ARG. la primera vez que los escuche fue en 1888 ..a pesar de todo este tiempo , siguen despertando el mismo sentimiento al escucharlos ....No doub..the best band ever.!!!

[leepacoindustries]

im going to cocteaufest in NYC next week! great video. you should make a cocteaus video with insects in it. it would be creepy beautiful.

[fredilexi]

Lucky you! Thanks for your comments lee. I do have some footage of ants...I might try and make one with that, thanks for the suggestion. x

[nicolaus33]

God, I discovered the CT only one year ago, and now I am deeply lost in their strange world. I love them. CT was the favorite band of Robert Smith...

[atram696]

piekne!!!Ahhh...stare dobre piekne nieprzespane noce...

[tommybass40]

A piece of art.

[galia20]

beautiful

[yadakyra]

Thanks a lot! Still knew the song in my head, but had forgotten the title. So glad to find it here!

[gzzdotcom]

So good ! I can listen to this all day

[MK2zody]

luv this band, allan from liverpool. EVERTON FC .
