Cocteau Twins is magic made by witches. It will never happen again. That's fine. This exists.

[pablo51874]

a beautiful beautiful song......no others words can descibe this piece of art

[shum65]

@pablo51874 Hi there dear friend, it sure is a beautiful song :))

[narcoreflux1]

Shum, it was an interesting show. My party and I managed to get close to the stage, and there were drunken frat-boys there. They'd wandered in to the wrong place (This was Liberty Lunch, in early '90s Austin.) Liz asked that they be taken away. They were, and the show began.

[shum65]

@narcoreflux1 Wow sounds like an amazing time u all had,

Thank goodness those drunks were removed, though I suspect

if they had heard the band they would have loved them to :)

[narcoreflux1]

So nice to read responses from wonderful, real people who do not use expletives to deride other music. Yes, Cocteau Twins are wonderful. Aaaahhhhhhh. Thank you all. Btw, I haven't heard them live in about 20 years, and that was in Austin, TX. I miss them.

[shum65]

@narcoreflux1 Hi there I always find it difficult to put into words

my feelings and thoughts for their music, how wonderful that

you saw them live 20 years ago, what a treasure :-[)

[95TheDeftOne]

bellissima

[shum65]

[Peppepoppldoppl]

[posypity]

my southseasiren is ashore, but elizabeth is still my original. its the way

she plays with the sounds, like a child in a winter wonderland, that i love

best, but it was equally robin's musical arrangements that got me hooked

also. Mr. hundredpercentperfectperfectom­an.

[shum65]

@posypity Liz is certainly our heavenly siren, your right,

once heard your hooked for life my friend X ;)

[slmorganwalker]

A big thank you to 4AD. Sponsors of a great and varied chunk of my memorabilia.

[shum65]

@slmorganwalker Hi there, me to my friend, 4AD are an amazing label :)

[dazmalski]

Cocteau twins are very personal. It won't work for everybody and that's the point. This is subjectivity at it's most exclusive - this is a private club.

[shum65]

@dazmalski Well said my friend..!! :)

[z1rakz1gal]

@shum65 here here, good show what, my good man- entirely correct you are! (apologies if female..the line says man).

[klopedokle]

7 ppl just don't know anything about quality, originality, good music..

[himanshuthegaur]

Years ago when youtube was just a couple of years old, I was reading Alistair McLean's Where Eagles Dare - great book - and one of the characters used to whistle 'Lorelei'. I searched for that Lorelei (Ella Fitzgerald) and found this too, and have been in love with it ever since. God bless youtube, and everyone in this great band!

[shum65]

@himanshuthegaur Hi there, great comments my friend, just love all

Cocteau Twins fans, they are such amazing people as to are the band :))

[Anynameoriginal]

Cocteau Twins were all over the place in sound yet always unique, this perhaps was my favorite C.T. moment. This song is just perfect.

[dogscatselephants]

I remember hearing this on a black music radio station back in the states in 1985. only heard it once sandwiched between midnight star and jeffrey osborne. never heard it again.

[shum65]

@dogscatselephants Hi there, wow you were so lucky to hear this over

the radio my friend, dont think I ever heard more than one of their songs

over the airwaves, except for the brilliant John Peel show..

Good to hear from you buddy :-))

[lucillaPax69]

My lovely italian friends, where are u? I mean...nobody knows the great voice of Beth Fraiser? What a pity! E' strepitosaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­a! Bye bye :-)))

[shum65]

@lucillaPax69 Hi there, haha great comments my friend...!!!! :))

[shum65]

@XblackandamberX Hi there, lol, hey it wont be long now..!!! :)

[IcyScythe]

the bass is so amazing. The singing too of course bu tthe bass on this song is one of my favorites from all the bass lines on cocteau twin's songs.

[shum65]

@IcyScythe Agreed its a brilliant bass, plus fab drums too,and all

brought majestically together with those vocals from Liz..

Great to hear from you my friend :))

[XenoType008]

this song is like the flood gates being blown open with an unstoppable purging of emotions.

[shum65]

@XenoType008 Well said my friend :)

[superorangeish]

I'm speechless. I think it was in' 84, and this came over the air on a local college radio station.You know how it looks when they get "beamed-up", on Star Trek? That's how my entire being felt. That may have been thee one and only time I've actually heard Lorelei , on the radio?!? Talk about "srtiking a chord"! This song desrves to be Worshiped.Bow to Lorelei,the Goddess!!!This song is and, at the time it came out, BEYOND cool,and will be FOREVER!Listening to this tune is RELIGOUS

[shum65]

@superorangeish Hi there great to hear from you my friend, thats such

an amazing feeling you described on hearing "Lorelei" on college radio,

Dont think I ever heard it played on radio at all, a tragedy indeed,

I like it... bow down to the Goddess Lorelei..cool :)

[shum65]

[tHickman95]

@superorangeish 'I felt like how it looks to be beamed up'.

Nothing short of beautiful, my friend.

[zombieAndy1979]

@superorangeish The last time I heard this awesome track on the radio was when radio 1 played decent music. It was the John Peel show in about 2004 I think and Robert Smith stood in for John Peel. He Played this track and it brought back a few fond memories ! Such an awesome song, Elizabeth Fraser's voice is just enchanting.

[lombardo63]

absolutely love the Cocteau Twins and the videos complement the music well. Had the playlist on all afternoon which has made studying tax bearable

[shum65]

@lombardo63 Hi there, great comments my friend, glad your enjoying the

heavenly CTs music, hope its all going well with that tax study.. :)

[TheSpudwrenchgirl]

i just love this song

[shum65]

@TheSpudwrenchgirl Me to my friend, just luv those vocals & that beat :)

[alecamarin]

amOOOOOOOOOOO... pra escutar muito alto!!!

[shum65]

@alecamarin Hi there, good to hear from you my friend... :)

[mmm4ch1n3]

the visuals in this video are great

[shum65]

@mmm4ch1n3 Why thank you my friend, glad you enjoyed it..!! :)

[MunkeyPuzzled]

Woke up in a Cocteau mood today. I think Treasure was probably their most unique album; for me, it stands alone out of their discography. AND I was so happy that the first page of comments didn't have any 'lyric transcriptions'. For fecks sake, I wish people would leave their divining skills for albums where Liz really WAS singing (mostly) in English. Treasure is perfect because it can only be experienced in moods, textures and colors: art that you can ascribe your own meaning to.

[MunkeyPuzzled]

oops, sorry! Sometimes I edit things to the point that they disappear. I'll be back. And thank you for the compliment :)

[shum65]

@MunkeyPuzzled Hi there, you should have left ure comments, they were really good,

I agree with you, we all take our own personal thoughts and feelings from each of the

bands amazing songs, they and especially Liz left the door open for us to do just that :)

[47404740]

U of F (Fla) Fall 1984 - dAMN ~ GOOD!

[shum65]

@47404740 Love The Fall, awesome band my friend... :)

[Randori]

Five people need serious help.

[shum65]

@Randori Ha-ha.maybe they were just for my video, not this awesome song. :D

Glad you enjoyed it my friend, classic song,classic album.. :))

[Randori]

@shum65 Indeed, I named my last daughter after this song.

[shum65]

@Randori Awesome name, luv it.... :))

[860anthony]

everyone on this page is right. the album :treasure" is one of the best albums ever made. melodically speaking it's a masterpiece.

[shum65]

@860anthony Cheers my friend, Treasure sure is a masterpiece..!!! :)

[busterabcat]

Treasure - the entire album - is JUST PURE MUSICAL NIRVANA......everything about it just elevates the listener to another plane, another dimension, one filled with sheer orgiastic bliss......and you just don't ever want to come down from it.  One fix of this record is never enough. One thousand fixes is never enough. Probably the greatest album of 1984 along with Ocean Rain by the Bunnymen......

[shum65]

@busterabcat So good to hear not only your love, but enthusiasm for their music,

it can be difficult to put into words the feelings their music conjures in us, but you

do it so well my friend, thats so true,Treasure is an iconic album without doubt..

Many thanks busterabcat. :))

[norbertocastro]

Sublime e subliminar...

[shum65]

@wmcappy Ha-ha sounds like ure having a ball my friend, keep on dancing lol !!

Neither can I, dance that is :D

[vurogj]

Everyone, even if they've never heard of them, has one CT song that is aural perfection, that makes their soul chime like crystal under dawn light. This is mine.

[shum65]

@vurogj Well said my friend, and what a great choice of song. :)

[robi2000]

[shum65]

@kingSpork1 Thanks my friend, glad you enjoyed this amazing track. :)

[shygazer]

Someone said it's like a baby food commercial. Well if there was a baby born from this song they named it shoegaze because this is where it all got started.

[Andreasleon27]

this is their best song i think

[shum65]

@Andreasleon27 Hi there, glad you enjoyed this amazing song my friend. :)

[TsunadesBoobs]

They're speaking English, people. :o Pay attention.

[lablabgrogro]

Music works so much well than Google translate (La musique marche bien mieux que Google Traduction) ;-) Hello and bonjour to shum65 and Zeneau.

[shum65]

@lablabgrogro Hi there my friend, or should I say Bonjour, great to hear from you,

Never used the Google Translator, sounds like fun, enjoy your weekend.  :)

[Blogdoovian]

No death but there is a little toe-sucking.

[shum65]

@Blogdoovian Ha-ha yup we all enjoy a bit of toe sucking from time 2 time.... :)

[zeneau]

j'aime pas spécialement ce genre de music,mais lors de mon service militaire tous les matins à 5H c'était la musique militaire oblige.alors un gar de ma chambre avez un poste et cette album de cocteau twins.tous les jours de bon matin lol

je pense que j'aurai apprécié n'importe qu'elle autre musique.

mais à présent plus de 10 ans aprés ma découverte de cocteau twins je trouve que c'est exelent.

[shum65]

@zeneau Hi there, sorry I dont understand what you have kindly written, but I'm

sure your a big Cocteau Twins fan, and enjoy their amazing music my friend,

its really great to hear from you zeneau. :)

[zeneau]

@shum65 traducteur

i say,

i like not specially this kind(genre) of music, but during my military service every morning at 5 am it was the military music oblige.alors a gar of my room(chamber) have a post and this album of cocteau twins.tous in daytime early in the morning lol

I think that I shall have estimated(appreciated) import only she(it) the other music.

But? At the moment more than 10 aprés years my discovery of cocteau twins I find that it is exelent.

merci beaucoup pour le clip

[shum65]

@zeneau Many thanks for explaining your earlier comments my friend, this track and

others from their brilliant album "Treasure" must bring back lots of good memories for you,

How good to have been able to listen to the Cocteau's music early in the mornings whilst

doing your military service, it must have really helped the days go by my friend..

Nice to hear from you zeneau, Merci beaucoup.. :)

[pumkinpie5]

[stars7803]

O yes great song by them. I have this on vinyl :D

[Sardu2011]

The Twins are simply one the greatest bands to have ever existed, so many gems to choose from where do you start? You will never come across such brilliance and beauty ever again. A one off and we should all feel privileged to have had the chance to experience this amazing music. Perfect.

[shum65]

@Sardu2011 And perfectly said my friend...!!!! :)

[metrakos]

i love this track for all time

[shum65]

@metrakos Hi there, me too my friend, good to hear from you. ;)

[lightlittlebrownboy]

The middle of the song always catches me off guard- its a very synchronous portion with the lyrics and the simple drum beat melding together to form something very interesting. Still love this whole album though.

[shum65]

@lightlittlebrownboy Hi there,your so right it is an amazing song, with

an awesome beat, really glad you enjoyed it my friend, ;)

[beltron1000]
