Cocteau Twins - Smile

[whitebootsify]

After a day shopaholicking I love to get home to a track like this.

Its then I get away from all the blah, blah, blah.

[shum65]

@whitebootsify Hi there, glad you enjoyed this lovely track, :)

It does make you feel like smiling, did you buy something nice?

good to hear from you my friend :-)

[whitebootsify]

@shum65 Yer, you make me smile. I bought me into a

nice new website and tings, it seems :)

[flaxlawna]

Hi, you make me smile at the moment {currently sober} thank you

for being my confidente during my days of captivity. I get connection

problems but I find I can get to the videos easier if I saunter through

your channel so I guess I'm becoming an accidental stalker somewhat.

I loved the bit about the 'stupid dongle thing'. I call it a magic stick, the

one I'm reduced too. What also makes me smile is my own stupidity.

For ages I was saying i loved Tiny Dynamite.theni wastypingin

[shum65]

@flaxlawna Hi there my friend, Im glad I make you smile :)))

Im honoured to be your confident, you make a very nice stalker.

My lifes one big dongle lol, its funny but I,m always pronouncing

song titles totally wrong,but thats all part of the joy of the CTs.

Great to hear from you flaxlawna ;-))

games-misser-gigglers gaggle-a-glux some-a-smiles in a songcloud.

[shum65]

@posypity We all need to SMILE :)

[posypity]

@shum65 SMILE? Does that stand for:

Some Momentous Imagination Like Elizabeth's?

[shum65]

@posypity lol no idea, maybe Liz was just happy at the time :)

S M I L E !! ;-D

[flaxlawna]

:)

[shum65]

@flaxlawna ;-))

[laendeavor]

the sound of falling in love

[shum65]

@laendeavor Sure is my friend :-))

[posypity]

lush were borrowing the cocteaus equipment at the time and

i thought that lush returned the compliment with this one.

[shum65]

@posypity Haha, its a really uplifting and many say healing track

this one, yeah Lush are a cool band my friend, :-))

[martinepeiffer]

extremely beautyful.well,it has been a while...just lovely,xxxmartine

[shum65]

@martinepeiffer Hiya my friend really great to hear from you again,

Hope all is good with you, I tried replying to your other kind comments

but youtube just wouldnt let me for some reason, best wishes to you Xx :)

[777blueray]

absolutely amazing,listening to the Cocteau twins takes to a higher realm!!well done shum65!!

[shum65]

@777blueray Your so right my friend, and this song always makes me

feel like smiling, glad you enjoyed it my friend ;-))) xx

[ichigatsujohn]

Probably one of the best Cocteau Twins ever - the bass line is gorgeous, the chord changes so artistically complex, vocals shifting between moods like poetry, just pure genius.

[shum65]

@ichigatsujohn Hi there, thats so true my friend, its such a complex track,

yet sounds so simple, not so to actually play and sing, poetry is so right..!!!

and pure Genius without doubt, great comments my friend.!!! ;D

[RoofLight00]

'Alice' and 'Ice Pulse'  are the one's though, they seemed to have all the best tracks on b sides.

[shum65]

@RoofLight00 Hi there,they sure have classic b-sides such as this gem, I love all

of their b-sides, many should have been huge hits in their own rights, good to hear

from you my friend. :D

[MsMagicalCat]

Thanks Shum..haven't said hello to you for ages,funny my best friend sent me this one ..take care my friend Sophie W :)))) big smile to you too

[shum65]

@MsMagicalCat Hi there Sophie W, good to hear from you again, hope

all is well with you, thats so cool your friend sent you this lovely song..!!!

Sending a big smile back at ya my friend. ;))))

[tubellarbells]

This should have been on the album as well. One of their best songs ever. 6 thumbs up.

[shum65]

@tubellarbells Hi there, it sure is an amazing track my friend, like so many of their b-sides

it should have been a massive hit, and most certainly have been on an album. :)

Many thanks for those 6 thumbs up tubellarbells..!!!

[twins8956]

this always reminds me of driving home from london to hereford there music kept me sane from all the driving i do , being a travelling salesman and staying away all week it was the only thing from stopping me going mad ,there music always relaxes me ,im sure shum she sings " in scotland and escosse " in this whatever it sounds so wonderful what a b side again another great video from a legend.

[shum65]

@twins8956 Whoop, what a fab opportunity doing all that driving ti listen to the CTs,

Hope you sang along and practiced the famous Liz warble? your right their music does

help to keep us all from going mad, they always made such amazing b-sides.

Many thanks for your brilliant comments about my videos my friend, Wow how kind..!!!

Hey enjoy your weekend twins8956. :))

[sanfranciscojim1]

Its a little gem,that always makes me feel better, glad it given us both a

perfect SMILEY start to the weekend buddy... :))

[alela62]

jeez. raymonde's basslines on this track are out of this world. dude was so under-rated. a real king of melody he was.. much missed.

[shum65]

@alela62 Thats so true Raymonde's work within the band has so often been underrated,

He was a major player for sure, many thanks my friend...!!!

[JK9756]

One of their best, happiest, most moving songs - I listen to this often on the way to work, it makes me smile and starts my day off on a wonderful high note. :-)

[shum65]

@JK9756 Hi there, Ure so right, it does make you smile listening 2 this little gem... :)

[stericnz]

I was first introduced to Cocteau Twins many years ago. I think they are the only "sound" that has truly "struck a chord" with me.  They are the voices of angels!

[shum65]

@stericnz Thats so true, once you hear them, you never forget, and your hooked-

for life...but what a drug...!!!

[dammitpea]

This song is the sonic embodiment of joy.

[shum65]

@dammitpea So right my friend, it just makes you feel like smiling.. :)

[vladimirkapralov]

[shum65]

@vladimirkapralov Hi there my friend, your so right, a smile can make all the difference,

and make that grey sky seem blue...great hearing from you dear friend.... :)

[vladimirkapralov]

@shum65 reply 4 U above :ok.smile&peace&love&health.ve­ry-very positive light airy 'gulp'

[shum65]

@vladimirkapralov Many thanks my friend.....!! :))

[tornjaj]

nice song, feels kind of kaleidoscopic, swirling around and angular. and it sounds like she's saying "shoe-shine over me" in the chorus. :D

[shum65]

@tornjaj Hi there, yeah its a really happy and cheerful track this one,

She may well be singing "Shoe-Shine Over me" ha-ha, its always fun

trying to guess what Liz is singing, great to hear from you my friend..!!!

[jmking3]

@tornjaj Wonderful music . Liz Fraser, where is that solo album? We've waited far to long now!!

[shum65]

@jmking3 I agree my friend, maybe in 2011.??

[AyahuaskaPop]

Es grandiosa!. CT es lo mas cercano a lo celestial

[Rakrator]

What has this song that every time I listen to it, it raises my spirit?............ that would be, more or less, the idea, in english.

[shum65]

Hi mate..thanks for translating..thats very

kind of you..!!

Like you,this song always makes me feel

good inside..like so much of their music.

I guess its yet another gift they gave us..

to lift the spirit with their songs..

Great to hear again from you my friend.!!

You speak English very well...

[smartin108]

This is a great CT groove. Thanks for posting!

[shum65]

Hi mate,good to hear from ya...!!

Fab track isn't it...I love it too...

I,m glad you enjoyed it my friend..!!

Thanx smartin....!!!

[jbauer72]

God, I love this song. It's up there with Mizake the Mizan. Seriously wish I found lyrics that kind of made sense for this song, though I'm usually satisfied to believe Liz is simply singing from her soul. I've read some lyrics that she's singing about a "Damion," but it doesn't make sense to me.

Thanks so much for putting this on here with fanastic visuals.

[shum65]

Cheers jbauer72..love this song too, pity its not heard more often,it really makes ya feel good, gives you a big lift when things are bad... I too never know what the words are to so many of their songs,but that just gives a big sense of magic and mystery to them for me, as you say, the soul from the voice just floods out into ya..!! Cheers mate,thanx for your top comments Glad you enjoyed the video too..!!

[KuntreeRetardScandal]

shum.. you have ALL of the good one's...................... it's so nutz...the way the their music really sends a jolt of the past through you....even more so when you forgot about some songs like this one.... I WAS NUTS FOR THE COCTEAU TWINS .. IN A REALLY doubtful way.. like saying your not sick then you pass out..

[shum65]

Cheers Kuntree..Glad your enjoying the

experience that is the Cocteau Twins....!!

Your so right about their music bringing

all those memories flooding back...

They created an amazing world of music,

for us all to visit...

Great hearing from ya mate...!!

[omipalone2007]

Love it!! Have everything of theirs I have been able to find.... Just awesome!!!

[shum65]

Hi mate..you've amazing musical taste.!!

Hi mate...I totally agree with you...!!!

[bobbysevensevenseven]

Ah, another great M & K B-Side. 12 years have past since then, and I'm still in withdrawal, but these vids help for a quick fix. Anyway, I'd sure love to hear LIz' voice, and maybe see her smile on something new, like that perpetually forthcoming solo release. I haven't given up hope.

[shum65]

Thanks mate!!I know what you mean, I,m glad

These vids/songs are helping your withdrawals

Liz will surely be back!(As Arnie once said!)

Don't give up my friend!!!

[yukadrd]
