[katelynkolb]

This gives me the chills...

[fhthbvisjfhfjkf]

[90eyehategod]

perfect song for lay in the grass and give a fuck of everything..

[19Dfuck]

[beatrixme]

Oh, man!!!! That was my fav CT song!!!!! These guitars!!! and her voice!!!!! Divine, angelic voice..... Cocteau Twins, my first LOVE!

[soniday4444]

esta cancion es genial. que por cierto fue parte del soundtrack de misteryuos skin mas geniallllll

[josedoespiritosanto]

a musica do cocteau twins, é etérea, minimalista, com ela voce fecha os olhos e conversa com Deus, por onde andará Elizabeth Fraser?

[filmlover88]

@Aoshy1225 the song you're looking for is "Drive Blind" by Ride

[sanfranciscojim1]

the Demon Angels begin to sing......

[Aoshy1225]

Does anyone know that song that was playing when Neil had the headphones in his ears laying on Wendys couch in NY?

[eumemyselfandi]

You' ll be always remembered as the First... the last... and the always!...

Since 1982!... Forever Cocteau Twins!...

From Portugal

[stevemassey1969]

some of you guys talk the biggest load of shit.............for those of us who where around in the day when these guys were doing there stuff..all you can really say is there were in a league of their own and produced some amazing music..............

[900blueberry]

This music and style reminds me of being in love.

[iandoyle69]

@900blueberry my god loved them since 1983 , could never describe how they make me feel then and now.. you did it thats the perfect description..

[nnicholss]

can u say heaven? if there is one i hope this is what u hear when u get there...dreamy,melodic,nothing but good....

[divamachina]

How can ANY fuckhead put Justin Bieber and the Cocteau Twins in the same sentence...Loser ass bubble gum pop vomit...If you listen to Justin Bieber you have NO business listening to the Cocteau Twins...

[09prizefighter09]

have a jazzmaster just need a boss chrous ensemble and slight analog delay..born 85 man it rocked back then

[BobbyEnergy]

Man im excited!! wanna know why boys and girls?? cause this song will go on my ipod..and i will walk along the beach..and stare at all the beautiful girls that pass me bye..the birds that soar over my head..and i will watch as the sun sinks into the sea...

[Psychedelic925]

Dedicated to Never Ending Christine



[gullwingtrucks]

when ever I watch this video I feel like I am trapped and for some reason I keep looping different parts of it.. for all of the different parts and sounds and her face and eye's...the guitars and piano wrap around like next stop outter space.

[dotte2008]

Odlot.

CC słucham praktycznie wyłącznie na słuchawkach, leżąc już w łóżku. Odrywam się wówczas od ciała i podróżuję po różnych wymiarach.

[chris7772002]

@dotte2008 Pełna zgodność :)

[sinistrobaum]

uma das baladas mais encantadoras,ternas e preciosas dos anos 80.sempre que a ouço,sinto uma sensaçao de bem-estar.

[doxielov]

every song ever written by this band is just beautiful. I WISH it was the 80's again, because most of what is on the radio nowadays is rubbish.

[purplevolcano]

@doxielov - I never thought I would miss the 80s but there are so many reasons why I do now. At least CTs will be with me forever

[spcsalas138]

...wonderful

[ariellevonglitz]

such a pretty song and I love that guitar...wonderful!

[brillianttrash]

Leave it the 1980's and one long Sunday night watching MTV's 120 Minutes... Love this track all these decades later. Such a classic gem!

[SanFranciscoJames]

this song has been my favorite for quite a while now.......maybe a few years.....it's got a happy feel to it....

[petermurphreak]

A fucking MIND-GASM is what this ETHERAL song certainly feels like!!!...

[deephousedummy]

I'm on cloud 10 right now, 

[redflare221]

This song is so beautiful, it makes the hair on my neck bristle.

[deephousedummy]

this is sooo beautiful. I love it thank you.

[deephousedummy]

Fein Funnel Fresh aches

[deephousedummy]

[tedy41]

nieziemskie!!!!

[virgofemme5]

The first time I heard this song it was like a life changing moment.

[teargarden]

Best band to ever!

[simonfergus1]

what year was this released in?

[GARIJPUNQ]

@simonfergus1 ..from the 4AD rec's V/A comp 'lonely is an eyesore',from 1987.

[kenjryker]

@simonfergus1 1985 - Only included on 4AD label Compilation, "Lonely is an Eyesore" with other acts from the label

[BlackWidow805]

Amazing. Fucking amazing.

[tjgurl222]

their best song

[NigerianRocker]

Mysterious Skin brought me Here

[laendeavor]

Every emotion at once.

Bliss~

[televisedvision]

i never get sick of brilliance. 

[markkinrade]

Creative perfection...

[soniday4444]

bellizimaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa y donde estan los latinos

[thedesiresymposium]

Fame. Strung out. Fresh eggs. I need a boyfriend. Kate freaks out. Don't fall. But it's the eye I got, and I freak out, fresh eggs, I need a boyfriend. Dave freaks out. Don't fall. But it's the eye I got and uh... A new transistor for ten, I knew a Jew shoe. A new transistor for ten, I knew a Jew shoe smells out. Well all the fame - MELLOW OUT MELLOW OUT - now now now.

[JuNkCriSiS]

@thedesiresymposium hahaha nice!

[melinagraves]

My personal CT favorite :)

[mranere]

Love Is An Eyesore was and is the most important album I ever listened to. This one collection got me forever hooked on the Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Clan of Xymox and Dif Juz. If you have never listened to the whole thing multiple times in a row, your life is not complete. I've seen Cocteau Twins and DCD in concert and they were both, in every sense of the word, amazing.

I miss them so damn much.

[Sunflower0122Z]

Can you get this on dvd now?

[shuniena]

this makes me cry from happiness and sadness at the same time...

[surfingnerf]

AAAAHHHH......like a breath of fresh air!

[Thegreenroomgroup]

this is what headphones were made for, $200 DJ cans walk down the city streets insulated from the sounds of the city, your soundtrack to life.

[arrisfilms]

I took my earphones out and hear Justin Bieber in the background amazing how you can be in heaven one minute then next you wana puke.

[curtiscrush]

@arrisfilms the more you people talk about justin beiber the more powerful he becomes. just enjoy the cocteau twins....PLEASE !

[stars7803]

@curtiscrush YES PLEASE stop talking about that pop sell out. He has NOTHING I mean NOTHING to do with CT!!!!!!!!!! enuff said

[wixy20071]

@arrisfilms so....

[OldFury]

@arrisfilms who the hell is this Justin Bieber guy people keep talking about?

[61emerald]

@arrisfilms haha priceless!!!

[arrisfilms]

@arrisfilms I regret mentioning Justin Bieber he's not worth it.

[mijo7]

La musica de CT me ha servido durante mas de 20 años para celebrar (como hoy) o cuando la angustia de la soledad ronda por los rincones de mi cuarto. Thanks a lot for posting this.

[jukkasaint]

voices of goddess from heaven..

weird to understand if not british.

But with fashinating and hypnotic touch - amazing again from UK,like Toyah,Siouxsie..

Rainy land and unemployment pushed great bands/artists in 80´s..

[tube1aka1valve]

@jukkasaint Maybe we are due for some great music again, it seems the conditions may lead that way, and I'm seeing people dressed that way again.

[RoofLight00]

it was a track on a 'sounds' music weekly giveaway 7 inch. Still got mine! rar.

[DYKEPALS]

eargasm

[5DeadlyRecords]

What record is this off of?

I also wish more of their vids had this type of look/feel to them. Good cross of the granular w. the impressionistic

[rociopatricia]

seguro q esta no??? ... me enkanta !!!

[japablaz]

this song is very addictive

[mekosilvar]

@foisonnant.. yesssssss when I saw then (twice) I cry'd like a baby that just wet his pant's after hearing the music so many times and then when you actually see them and hear it in person... my good I was actually shaking....and when you see her in video's it's the real deal..she laugh's and everything but there's really something else going on there...like in this video... look at her eye's...she get's really spooky.

[ants4rocket]

My other favorite song by C.T. -This was never released as a single was it? -Anyone? Just in a 4AD compilation if I'm not mistaken.

[jjskitten]

i wish i could get lost in listening to them forever and ever and ever, they were beyond wonderful

[GottariPrince]

What foisonnat is saying sort of happened to me with them. CT came into my life at about the same time I first read 'The Mists of Avalon.' I never saw them, but I think of Liz as one of the priestesses of Avalon'; transforming our lives with the power of her voice alone. I feel as though the mists on the barge are clearing, and I am entrering anohter realm, long forgotten. She is one of the fairy-people, and she takes me to another place--Thanks Liz, and Cocteau Twins for enhancinging my life.

[ectowle]

Cocteau Twins as well as This Mortal Coil bring to mind what LUSH("GALA"//"SPOOKY"//"SPLIT"­//"LOVELIFE//CIAO[1986-1996"])­ will be creating soon thereafter or already doing so.

[VidGirl88]

I remember hearing their songs when I was a kid, and then I heard 'The Sirens Song' used in The Lovely Bones- and WOW. So emotional already from the movie, the song just clenched it. So glad I found them again. TY for posting^^

[seventeenboi]

love this!

[Helmethec]

The world could use another Cocteau Twins album

[antoine1561]

Mew sounds like this. Long life for the Fraser´s music!!!

[remywood81]

Once I watch this I can't stop. I have to watch it several times.

[kaari1]

REALLY Nice song!. Check out the song "YOU" by INOUWEE if you like this.

[RonHo420]

Stunning in its potent uniquness, I love CT's later work

[hammertoejoe]

It's just the magic of Raymonde, Guthrie and Frasier together

[zacharia644]

WOW! The "Lovely heaviness" of this beautiful song is so cathartic for so many of us! Cheers to the tremendous talent & sound of The Cocteau Twins on this one & all their other gems!  'nuff said, methinks. . . Oh, one more thought.. . as their sound remains remarkable over the decades. . . . "Oh my God, Just Beautiful & Comforting! " Thanks for the post! -

[ConejoZing]

"lyrics" seem different almost every time. This time "are you just the SUMMER duo tone smooth she?" "Are you just the Summer duo tone through she smooths out?"

[lazord1991]

@ConejoZing Wow, poetry!

[timothymorton303]

Terrifying gentleness. Hair raising sparklecore.

[WickIDwarrior]

I've seen Cocteau Twins live three times. Anyway, Liz is very gracious. She actually smiled a lot. Back in 1996, Milk N Kisses was the hightlight of that year for me. I can understand that bands break up... it's just that they not so much created songs but rather a soundtrack for life. You can take their songs to mean whatever you want it to mean... it's hers, but it will always be with us. We need Cocteau Twins to help us take a second to reflect on the universe around us.

[munchie944]

@WickIDwarrior seen them at least 10 times and I will tell you...there will NEVER be a band as outstanding as the Cocteau Twins. There is no discussion here about ANYTHING!! they were a band that kicked the #%^ out of every radio friendly band that has ever existed and it's a shame that no one ever heard of them...but hey...artists are onlt seen as great when their dead.....

[echoes1982]

unicaaaaaaaaaa!

[celticsoulboy]

Very lovely...used to keep this video on my PC at work for a bit of inspiration... don't know what it means but I dont care...beautiful...

[MrGajka6]

Czasem,słuchając C.T. myślę,że warto było się urodzić,pomimo problemów i gówna tego świata...warto było,żeby poczuć się aniołem na tej ziemi.Dzięki ich muzyce,która uniosła mnie 20 lat tem i ,wciąż mnie unosi i będzie mnie unosić do końca moich dni...

[Trishkea]

@MrGajka6 Wzruszyłam się czytając Twój wpis. . Mam wrażenie ,ze moje życie zatoczyło koło. Słuchałam CT przez 10 lat non stop i nie była mi potrzebna inna muzyka. Później zawaliłam sobie ściany innymi płytami, ale dziś już nie wiem po co. Wracam do głosu Liz i wiem , że to coś więcej. To jak głos z mojego prawdziwego domu , do którego kiedyś wrócę. Ty też:) Dziękuję

[MrGajka6]

@Trishkea Dzięki wielkie,C.T.to zagadka.Nigdy,żadna piosenka nie znudziła mi się,choć pierwszy raz usłyszałam ich w 1986r.Może to dlatego,że nie maglowali ich w radio,nie są gwiazdorami i mogłam dozować ich muzykę w miarę własnych potrzeb.A zaczęło się od śp.wytwórni 4AD.Liz dorównuje głosem tylko Lisa Gerard,ale ona uległa sławie.Muzyka C.T.jest czysta,nieskalana,cudowna i potrafi "uskrzydlać",co nam grawitantom jest takie potrzebne!Pozdrawiam

[lallorona67]

El dia que me muera espero que este nublado,mucha, lluvia y frio y ojala ojala que este escuchando a CT de otra manera no podria morir enpaz. Si alguien me garantiza que muerta podira escuchar su misica y la de sioux creanme que con ganas moriria, pues no hay voz mas angelicas y puras que las de estas bellas mujeres. Gracias por darme vida y fuerza. Mientras tanto gozare la vida por muy dificil que sea eveces. Gracias, merci, thanks, arigato. :-) :-) ;-)

[TennderPoisson]

This song will never die

[moonpower17]

elizabeth is great as always, but on this particular song i am more moved by robin's guitar work. it has to have one of the most beautiful openings to a song ive heard

[watergrass5150]

beautiful rhythm guitar work.

[romansrkala]

beautifullllll

[TennderPoisson]

Ohhh no... oh yes yes YESSS ! ;)

[coolcarlz]

does anyone know what album this song is on

[1con0clast]

@coolcarlz it was originally released on a 4AD record titled Lonely Is An Eyesore and was later reissued on a CD titled Cocteau Twins Singles Collection EP

[NoMoreColors]

it was used for the movie mysterious skin?

[coolcarlz]

yeah, in the scene when neil is on the subway. in my opinion, that movie has the best soundtrack. not only cocteau twins, but slowdive, ride, all great bands

[mekosilvar]

very emotional video....... the guitars and the piano and her vocal's are ......

[totalfit7]

viva anos 80, musica maravilhosa! obrigado youtube...

[Crimsonphilosophy]

oh man the 80's sound like everything was recorded in a giant cave

[moonpower17]

@Crimsonphilosophy just the way i like it

[MrNightOwl88]

@Crimsonphilosophy

hahahahahahaha, god that is SOOOOO true....classic comment!.

[mounterie]

@Crimsonphilosophy that is what we call reverb

[mounterie]

@Crimsonphilosophy

[sapatilhasanjo]

@Crimsonphilosophy these guys were out of this world!!!! Cocteau twins for ever!!!!

[MrHunkydory69]

everything now sounds like it is recorded in a giant shit pipe

[djuri0612]

@Crimsonphilosophy UNDERSTOOD.

[penneyfour]

@Crimsonphilosophy

My wife calls it fish tank music... but I swim in the tank.

[MrHunkydory69]

Away and fuck off back to your cave then

[XxTraBenxX]

Such a great song. They were so amazing. I just wish they could settle what happened and get back out there. That would never happen though :(

[gab3334]

True masters of their craft with the seemingly exact precision of swooning melodies or dark textures...Some say the same about a well established painter whose imprint corners every museum or harbor side amateur who perfectly captures the sunset. God's beauty in its many shades and tones. I am grateful to have seen it or in this case, heard it. And everytime I return to the sounds, its like the first time. Bravo cocteau!

[mekosilvar]

FRESH EGG'S.. to stick's of butter...now NOW .. I see a little sugar a dose of boat milk..more FRESH EGG'S....yeah that's what I thought too..and then you just get lost in those guitar's...this is the main reason why I'll pretty much buy anything solo robin put's out on his own because of the guitar's are unlike any you here....

[jazzhandstothesky]

I always thought she was listing cake ingredients...

cake, flour, fresh eggs...

[tuturura]

hahaha....i bet she is... 

;P

[sightsound7]

This was the very first thing I had ever seen of Cocteau Twins and Elizabeth Fraser when I used to collect compilations to discover new music. I scored the VHS Lonely Is An Eyesore at ZIA RECORDS in Phoenix, AZ. The music I discovered on that VHS was the groundbreaking change in my creativity forever.

[ajhoncantara]

As I always said and still say. "Elizabeth Fraser channels the music of the spheres". She is a gift that deserves our eternal gratitude.

[ignacioromeros]

Veramente meravigliosi.......

[toddzilla1794]

y cant they come back!

we need them!

[INITIALSJE]

This song was from the 4AD album and video (compilation) "Loney Is An Eye Sore"

from 1987. It's always good introduction for obscure and interesting music. This song in particular takes me back.

[PositiveLastAction]

@INITIALSJE me too. A glorious era for music. "Lonely is an Eyesore" was a great sampler ...especially this track, This Mortal Coil and Clan of Xymox.

[INITIALSJE]

Yeah, I pretty much like all of it.

[andreaneilcmc]

Little Bird.

[castrojeriz33]

you know it sounds like French to me somehow...anyone else gets that?

[IssytOrange]

There may well be french in there somewhere. Liz used to collect words from all sources, modern or classic language, fantasy fiction, words that sprung from the pages were copied down. She had whole bookcases of words she used. Commited to memory all of them. Genius/Angel indeed.

[radiohead322]

@castrojeriz33 wow. it isn't french? Lol. i just discovered this person today...but sounds pretty good to me.

[castrojeriz33]

It's acatually sung in English! Amazing, huh? You seem to have a similar taste in music with me.

[patricarne]

jansjoh, u like to delate comments.

[vazmedeiros]

Há certas coisas que nos são inexplicáveis...mas ouvir este tema é dar brilho aquilo que "nós" entendemos por estranho ;)

[synch08]

And Liz Fraser.... beauty unparalleled from the voice of an angel.

[synch08]

Robin Guthrie creates some of the most gorgeous instrumentals such as this one it has a way of tugging at your emotions leaving you speechless. That beginning I could listen to forever endlessly I feel like Im walking on air. The Cocteau Twins in so many of their songs have a way of making the listener explore the possibilities of listening. I've only took the first step I feel like through each passing listen...a new revelation

[VIC4SALE]

dejen de molestar la intession de la cansion. love it for what it is.

[xuk85]

uma das minhas canções preferidas...ela é tao inventiva, tao envolvente....me dá até nostalgia....ela foi usada num filme famoso ae numa cena eqto um epersonagem andava de trem tocava essa musica...inesquecivel!

[foisonnant]

One of their very best. Saw them in 1990. I'll always remember Liz Fraser, She was dressed in grey, like a teacher in 19th century. Short woman, wiithout any trace of glamour. When she sung, suddendly a magical forest popped in the room. She was a fairy, an atomic bomb, the whole galaxy, the most beautiful creature in the whole universe. Just breathtaking. I was a newborn, I was a thousand years old, CT were reaching places in my heart, in my soul, in my body, places I was not aware of.

[055697]

lol. nice words but a little pretentious

[Nothingnness]

@foisonnant

am feeling the same too

relieved that i knw them in my 20s...else part of my life...wudnt be complete

[mondovila]

@foisonnant we share the same beautiful memory :)

[mykep28]

@foisonnant Great description! It's good to see music still affects people in this way.

[26526252]

@foisonnant and it's totally not corny to talk like this about CT! i agree wih you absolutely

[mr82769]

Thanks a bunch

[mr82769]

Do you have an album name for this song? Or maybe they just spit out good albums all over and I should listen to them all? :)

[cauldron999]

To: @mr82769

I don't think that this was released on an album.

I have it in a 10 disc box set of singles.

[mr82769]

Thats a bit overkill for someone who only recently found them :) Thanks though.

[ChrisMurrough]

yeah, I think practically everything I've heard from them is worth a listen. It says on the 'Lonely is an eyesore' video that all tunes were recorded especially for the compilation except 'frontier' (or fwunteer in Elmer Fudd language) by dead can dance.

[bigbigman3]

losing is good!

[iandoyle69]

i remember being in a house waiting for a tv to be delivered and in the house was no furniture as yet just a small cassete to play this on i played over over again allday..i still love this song ..

[BrianHunt69]

I saw live, here in São Paulo....199...

Fantastic ! They are perfect !

it´s so ... I dont knoe... abolute fantastic !

[HeartnSoul99]

Hi from Paris,

Yeah this song may be the best synonym of happiness, joy , and get ready for paradise, how cool it is...thanks ! (plus it is a not often played song )

[industrialnyleon]

Hi from Krasnystaw, in fucking country-Poland, Cocteau Twins is beatiful

[suurferoo]

bonita cancion parece robert smiht y la cantante de siouxie

[elektr0bi]

might be the best track off Lonely Is An Eyesore

[snakeshiet]

next to hot doggie

[elektr0bi]

...and to No Motion !

[sweetkat85]

this song just sounds like love

[HarryHunston]

hahaha well said

[skycreativedesign]

linda, linda, linda, linda..................

[PROJECTOAZULjjgg]

Old great times...that will never come again...the 80/90 music...the best ever!...hugs

[ayorioka2]

Puta música linda. Te dá paz.

Peace everybody.
