[BayviewFinch]

Garlands is such a great album, perhaps their best.

[shum65]

@BayviewFinch Its certainly my fave album by them, its so dark

and raw, both musically and vocally, filled with atmosphere...

Many thanks for your comments BayviewFinch.......!!!!

[SenualVampire]

...'Things from the forest die here, but I don't ...Die forest things are offered here, but I'm not'...

This was about five or six years before the term 'Goth' was even thought of, they had a big influence on me, and music in general, no one had their dark and melancholic sound.

[shum65]

@SenualVampire Hi their, your so right my friend, just love all their

early "Garlands" era, so dark and atmospheric, look out for my video

to their early single "Perhaps Some Other Aeon" on Sunday.....

[zombiecinema]

Gosh, so many memories, Garlands, Blue Bell Knoll, best band ever (equaling DCD lol), so many ancient names from this time & so many random souvenirs : Wake, Nocturne, X-mal, 16 days, Rococo, Brendan, Bela Lugosi ... Thx Shum

[shum65]

@toto1er Hi mate, your so right, so many happy memories listening to all these

classic CT songs...some of the actual Cocteau Twins often watch these videos

and read our comments, its great to know, that they realize just how important

they and their awesome music is to the fans....and always will be....

And not forgetting the kids of the band members also, esspecially Will Heggie and his fab family who often look-in......!!!!

Good to hear from ya toto1er.....

[toto1er]

@shum65 Thx to you Shum. Seen them 3 times in Paris, the last one at the Olympia was astonishing, wish i could live again this very moment for 16 days ...

[toto1er]

@shum65 Filmed no, recorded yes ... :)

[shum65]

@toto1er Cheers my friend......

[shum65]

I just love all the "Garlands" songs....!!

Their quite scary and raw,yet so delicate and moving....theirs a dark fragile nature within them all, just like us I guess....

Cheers mate...!!!

[ifthereareangels]

Love the Garlands album..glad I kept all my vinyl records, cos I've got lots of their albums..can't beat a bit of vinyl !!

[shum65]

You certainly cant beat a bit of vinyl mate.!!

I,ve got all my original albums too...theirs

so much more to look at, and the sound is

much fuller and richer....

Garlands sounds so brilliant on vinyl too,

I,ve just heard from Will Heggie, one of the geniuses of the "Garlands" album...

Hes a really great bloke, and very helpful,

Thanx for your comments mate, always a

treat meeting other Cocteau fans....!!!

[ifthereareangels]

Just been flicking through some of your other vids. It's good that you take the time to reply to peoples comments, hardly any one else does. Keep up the good work.

Might just have to get some of my vinyl out now ..!!!

[shum65]

Cheers my friend..Its so great that people

take the time to comment, so the least I

can do is reply to them...

Nice that you noticed my friend.....!!!

Ha-ha,Yeah, get that vinyl out......

[epocaliptos]

This song is stuck in my head for, like, 20 years.

I'm a fan but sometimes while singing I catch myself changing the lyrics in "This room is full of zombies but I'm not" or "This boy is carrot pie here but I'm not". :)

Anyway, thanks for posting this.

[shum65]

Hi mate..thats the fun and magic with the

Cocteau Twins...you make the words up

to what you think they sound like....

Liz was awesome with the pure emotion

in her vocals, words just weren't needed..

You gave me a good laugh my friend..

love your lyrics to this classic track...

"This Boy is carrot Pie".he-he..!!!

Great hearing from ya mate.......

[epocaliptos]

I'm glad I gave you a good laugh.

And I'm glad there's a lot of Cocteau fans and all those great song are now available. I remember times when I was so frustrated of listening Cocteau Twins on all chewed up tapes on my lousy tape recorder and that was all that I had.

BTW, you have a great channel.

Greetings from Croatia!

[shum65]

Hi my friend...your right, its so great to be

able to talk to Cocteau fans from all over

the world....I remember those cassettes

and how they would get caught-up.....

amazing music...

Croatia my friend......!!!!

after "Blind Dumb Deaf".....

Many thanx to Will Heggie....!!!

[tinkerkor]

[Celestialhost]

"Things from the forest are offered here, but I'm not, dead forest things are offered here, but I'm not..." So bleak.

This is my favorite Cocteau Twins song.

[shum65]

Hi mate...amazing track this your so right,

I love-it....yeah bleak,and  menacing...!!

But what awesome Lyrics...and that vocal

backed with such brilliant music.....!!!

A great choice Celestial.....!!!

[LTMPLDA]

It's -5 degrees here in France now, all covered with snow. I am looking through the window, everything is cold and quite, the trees are waiting for life to come back. And this marvelous song sounds like a perfect winter song.

Merry Xmas, Shum65 !

[shum65]

Hi mate...its -3 degs here,and snowing 2

[SWTinFLA]

Great; thanks for doing these. CT never did any original videos during this time, did they? Anyway, I like how you've combined concert footage with other imagery - very true to the spirit.

[shum65]

Hi SWTinFLA..glad you enjoyed the video

early days,theirs a full live version of the

awesome "Wax And Wane"from way back then,its fab to see Will their too..

Big thanx for your ace comments mate.!!

[benjamindepazc]

Exellent song from garlands, don´t forget ¨HEARSAY PLEASE¨ please!!!!....Estaré atento a que subas el video. Thanks.

[shum65]

Hi my friend... Glad your enjoying this truly

awesome track from the "Garlands" LP.

I,ve done "Hearsay Please" but alas,it was

blocked some months back by Warner...!!

And its impossible to upload the song,

I,ve looked for another live version of it,

but haven't come across it yet...

Cheers benjamin.....!!!

[ordepone]

I've listened to every CT album... To me Garlands is the best. So cold.

[shum65]

Cheers mate..Garlands is my fave too..

its so dark and atmospheric....

Liz's voice..those guitars...classy classic.!

[orenatz]

At list you keep the fire burning my friend. But live garlands performance would be interesting to watch.. id like to see how liz look and sound when she tremble her voice live.. thats her trademark on the garlands songs.

[shum65]

Cheers mate...yeah..her voice was much

harder back then..I too loved the rawness

and that iconic tremble she did..!!

I perfected that tremble myself...he-he..!!

When I sing their songs,I just have to let

rip at the end of the words.......

[orenatz]

i ment LIVE footage of course..

[orenatz]

Shum hi! How come there isnt a proper clip of any Garlands song on Youtube, or maybe there is..?

[shum65]

Hi my friend.. Not sure but I think their are

a few live versions from the Garlands era,

Somewhere theirs a live Garlands,and a

Blind Dumb Deaf. and a couple more...

but they may have been removed since,

with all this copyright stuff..!! I even think

in one of my videos from the Garlands LP

I used a clip of them back then..??

Cheers mate...

[hamusicanoladob]

I love this song, I love this album, I love CT...

[shum65]

Cheers my friend...its a classic track..

from that iconic first album by the CTs..

Good to meet other fans of this amazing

band....!!!

"things from the forest die here but i don't..dead forest things are offered here but i'm not.."

[shum65]

Sorry to take so long replying jojo808!!

You sound like a true fan mate!!

[milkandkisses78]

ooh dark and kinda punky, love it. I think I heard Liz say, "....and she's always numb..."

the video really works with the song for while it has a dark edge to it it still glistens as all CT music does.

[shum65]

I can tell your a true Cocteau's fan my friend

with the passion that you talk about them,-

and describe the moods and feelings of their

awesome sound!!

Thanks so much milkandkisses78,for your brill

[desertshore]

i like their earlier, punky stuff, like "Garlands." it has am almost early-Cure guitar fuzziness to it. VERY atmospheric vid as well....

[shum65]

Great comment mate!! thanks for that!!

Glad you like the vid !!

[synch08]

shum65 I love the posts keep up the good work! I always thought one of the coolest things about the Cocteau Twins was they didn't have a drummer. Its all about the combo of Liz and Robin. Garlands is a great start with this band!

[shum65]

Thanks mate!! your right, they always use-to

use a drum machine,great contrast in sounds,

with lizs vocals,and the swirling guitars,then

the hard hitting of the drum machine.

[menchulica]

like very much the atmosphera you create.

[shum65]

Thanks friend!! really pleased you liked it!!

[johnchiwilson]

spinetinglingly good. what sweet memories are made of this... pure magickal musical. great video shum.

[shum65]

Thanks friend!! What memories indeed!! such a

debut album "Garlands" filled with such raw

and amazing songs!!!!!!.
