  • I'd say its 49/51 on the genius side.

  • @whitebootsify At least lol :)

  • LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ♥

  • @Bbeiix2Geiish Hi there, I love this track to my friend :))

  • @shum65 Héhé, that's good :D ♥

  • this songs always leaves me with goosebumps of pleasure and trepidation at the same time. Great effort on the video too.

  • @agadigby Hi there, goosebumps is so right my friend :)

    Many thanks for your kind comments about my video, much-

    appreciated :-[)

  • Anyone else have the sense that part of what gives this selection its haunting appeal is the vaguely harpsichord-like use of the keyboard? I imagine entering the parlor of a 17th century Flemish household where I find a pair of young women rehearsing, one singing, the other at the keys.

  • @filagenoir Hi there, so agree about the harpsichord-like section,

    it really adds that period dreamlike feel to this classic, thanks for

    your comments my friend :-))

  • For me, this was the "other" song on the Heaven or Las Vegas album. It was hidden, mysterious and heart touching. One of the saddest passages begins at 2:18 and continues to the end.

  • @trippletear Hi my friend, your right its a touching and moving song,

    and always gives me goosebumps, truly beautiful :-))

  • Amazing audio quality. Cheers uploader.

  • @Bhuja333 Many thanks my friend, glad you enjoyed this-

    amazing song, good to hear from you Bhuja333 :-))

  • halfthis halfthat. from the folkyflip side of heaven i thought. am wandering

    the halls of internet like an ungarlandedghost with ectoplasmimages

    frozen in dustyfullstops, feeling half like a clownfifty remembering

    faint echoes of former reactions. has the fiftyfiftyclown circus left?

  • @posypity Hi there great comments my friend..!!! :)

  • My fave song of theirs, especially the ending refrain!

  • @paprika82 Its a great song choice my friend, always give me those

    all important goosebumps..classic  ;))

  • Long live The Cocteau Twins. Unmistakable uniqueness. This is going to be tricky for a youtube comment but....my little male brain perceives The Cocteau Twins as a musical representation of the female. When I close my eyes and listen to The Cocteau Twins I long to be united in a solitary quest for freedom and beauty with the other half of my species...the half that is not as concerned with war and competition but rather love and life.

  • @TheEggdogg Sounds good to me my friend, I love how their music makes

    us all look inwards to our own thoughts and feelings, thats true talent. :))

  • @TheEggdogg Well said.

    

  • yes, i agree, i think the music is a sort of female energy (the yang), and i think Guthrie wanted to work with that femaleness in his music--even though he as straight, and even dated liz. there are also parallels to this in Dave Stewart/Annie lennox, or take, Burt Bacharach who lived wriing for different female voices, like Dionne warwick. Truly music that startles and really DOES take you to another world. A womb with a view!

  • Song of a rare beauty even for Cocteau Twins.

    And rare in the sense that it expresses anxiety and in a dynamic tempo.

  • @musclexboy Hi there, thats a well spotted point my friend, this song has an

    upbeat tempo, whilst the song has that angst tragedy, tinged with anxiety feel.

    All done with amazing tenderness by both the guys & Liz with her dreamy vocals.

    Great to hear from you musclexboy :)

  • @shum65 The angst and held back emotion seems to conclude at the end of the song as if she's reaching out to others. It still makes me bite my lip to stop from crying while listening.. I need to reach out to others as well.. we all have voices that must be heard

  • @strokesfan1107 Hi there,their music makes me very emotional also,

    Its true we do all need to reach out, and so have a voice to be heard..!!!

    Great comments my friend, ure a true CT fan..!!!! :)

  • @shum65 Hey, we all have you to thank for posting. It's weird though, this song has been haunting me all week!

  • @strokesfan1107 Hi there, what a great haunting my friend,  :))

    Always gives me goosebumps this amazing song, dreamy..!!!

  • one of my favorites from heaven or las vegas. thanks.

  • @cherubicnerd Hi there, your very welcome my friend, glad you enjoyed

    this amazing song, hope your having a great day.. :)

  • esta cancion me hace sentir de la ptmr amor y odio mezclados, demasiado buena, intensa, suave a la vez...

  • @isobel001 Hi there, great to hear from you my friend, just love this dreamy song to,

    Many thanks for your comments. :)

  • Pleasantly surprised to hear this track on a MOS Chillout Annual 2002 Australian edition, great to see that quality music like this has no use by date unlike the dime a chime tripe that gets peddled nowadays which is well rotten before it even hits the shelves. It is an original UHT (Ultra hear treated) great!! Sorry for the food puns...was hungry when I wrote this

  • @grummreaper Hope ya had a good meal afterwards..ha-ha..

    Wow this was included on a chill-out Annual, cool.. so right m8 that quality never has

    a use-by-date...they just get better with age,...!!!

  • @shum65 As it happens Pizza was on the menu! :D. Many thanks also for taking time out in posting quality content so that guys like me can take time out listening to it.

  • @grummreaper No problem m8, its always a pleasure posting such amazing music,

    Look out tomorrow 4 my new vid to the CTs "Summerhead" hope U'll enjoy it...

    Did ya save me some pizze? lol... ;D

  • @grummreaper yeah I mixed that compilation for Ministry of Sound, was happy to be able to include a favourite track or two from the 80's of mine :) this is why you'll find things like The Beloved and other angelic tracks on the Chillout Sessions compilations in Australia

  • @markdynamix nice work mate and thanks!....listened the hell out of it when I first got it....made the hour commute to work on the train much easier. I was reading up on anthropology of all things at the time and the brain appreciated the quality audio distraction!

  • Maybe their best, along with Heaven or Las Vegas and some of the 'color songs'! What tonal beauty. Slightly haunting, so full of expectations and experience and soft determination.

  • @lightlyone I like how the Cocteau's music makes us all feel and think so intensely...!!

    Good to hear from you lightlyone...cool name 2.. :)

  • @harbring Got ya m8...!!

  • @harbring Hi there, great description my friend, its like a train journey of emotions, your so right......

  • Unbelievable track. It's like love and hate rolled together and put into 3 glorious minutes. No one else could write a track like this. Great video as well!

  • @jedzdead Hi there, your so right my friend, no one else could have done this track...

    they cram so much emotion and experience into every second......

    Glad you enjoyed my humble video also, much appreciate your kind words jedzdead...!!!

    Have a great weekend........ :)

  • @BobbyJenkins Your so right my friend,,,Lizs vocals are delicious here......!!! :))

  • @shum65 Absolutely. I only just first heard this song last night and I think I've listened to it 100 times already. It's the way the vocal melody rises in the first verse. It just gets right under your skin. In a good way. Ooooo. Liz Fraser is certainly something.

    Hey..never look back....!!!

    Great to hear from you 00EYESoo....

  • I love the 'chorus' of this song. Perfectly arranged.

  • Hi their alex, its a beautiful song isn't it..

    I so agree with you, its perfectly arranged..

    Great choice my friend....!!!

  • Did you know that the cheeky monkey that is Prince nicked the instrumental for his Martika 'Love, thy will be done' single?

  • Hi Captain, Nah,I didn't know that mate...

    Ain't he a cheeky fella..tut-tut..!!

    Not heard that for ages come to think of it..

  • Thanks for the insight.

    Cocteau Twins should sue.

  • Ha-ha..yeah,good point Joseph.....!!

    Alas WARNER MUSIC GROUP,own most

    of the rights to the Cocteau Twins music.

    Simon Raymonde himself told me that.

  • Quite clearly the best track off Heaven or Las Vegas.

  • Hi NorrisGeez...good choice mate....

    Its a beautifully moving track for sure....!!!

  • The whole album is out of this world, but this song, these keyboards combined with the voice... Don't have words to describe it. Other worlds are opening to me, like I was starting with listening to ambient music. Just - ...

  • It's not easy to make any one song the best song because one begins, at that point, to compare emotions. The emotions are a spectrum. So it's like trying to say that red is better than blue. You are right in a sense--this is perhaps the most subtle, most intricate and emotionally complex on the album. I am a composer and musician, and i was almost ashamed that i could not see the beauty at first. I was grooving to the energy-songs. Different friends kept pointing out this piece.

  • Oh good memories! I may have to listen to this one a few times.  Thanks, Shum!

  • Cheers mate, your very welcome.....!!!

    Brilliant track ain't it... glad its brought ya all

    those good memories again too...

    Keep on listening Steve....

    And thanks for your comments mate...

  • A truly amazing song! Brilliant! Long-live C.T... I do miss 'em, though... "the best of the best!" "Here's to you"... Oh, such an elegant band, "C.T."!!!!!

  • Cheers mate..like you,I to really miss em,

    Hey, its great to meet another big fan...

    Maybe one day they,ll get back together.?

    I,ve talked to Simon,and hes really cool..

    and very helpful to, with my videos...

    I agree with you mate, Oh,such an elegant

    band indeed....!!!

  • Hi mate..Thats something I noticed early

    on in my video making,that their were very

    few Cocteau,s videos on youtube..!!

    Well now I,ve done about 108 videos just for them,accept for those that youtube -

    have removed that is...!!

    I,m really pleased you enjoyed the video,

    and what top song choice mate..!!

    Thanks thuggin83..!!

  • hi. i know it's been two years that you posted, but i wanted to say, well--first, that i think the reason they didn't release or promote this track is because it's was literally too ambient--too out-of-this-world, for the masses to even stop and try understand it. // U mentioned the urge to set this to visuals, and because i everyone's enthusiasm i want to set this piece to wine glasses. I am creating the first glass-orchestra comprised of nothing but dozens of pitched wine glasses.

  • @MontoyaMatrix Hi there, many thanks for your comments,

    sorry for taking so long to reply, comments soon build up,

    I agree about many of their songs being maybe to ambient for todays

    rather one track charts, they always were original and did their own

    thing, for me thats just how it should be, I love the sound of your

    Glass-Orchestra, hope you upload some videos my friend :)

  • Hi EricStiven, great comments mate!!!

    Long Live The Cocteau Twins!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks for that Eric, good to hear from you!

  • hwschildt is one spion...

  • Thanks yence1,

    Its great to hear from you,my friend!!!

  • Super cool job, shum! I'm watching it again, to see what I may have missed, while blissed out on the beat. I really love this song (among my top 5 CT tracks), & it's sometimes forgotten funkier Step-Child, Watchlar. They sound great together, one after the other, on infinite repeat. Oh, I probably said it somewhere before, but as much as I like the song, I never took to the name. I find clowns frightening, and 'though I realize it's just a title, I'd rather they chose 50-50 Harlequin...

  • That's got a ring to it 50-50 Harlequin!

    But I know what your saying bobby!

    Be careful not to fall over anything whilst

    blissing-out on the beat! its so easily done!

    And wow! what a mess all over the floor.

    As always bobby,ya gave me a good laugh!

    Thanks for your top comments matey!!!

  • Thanks FuzzDrone! your so right,the vocals are
