Cocteau twins - Loves Easy Tears

[winterstellar]

This and Pearly drops drop are two of the most beautiful songs ever written, sung and "shoegazed": )

[storie2012]

To me and many friends they are

[sharona4608]

awesome!!!

[winterstellar]

The guitar gives me goose-bumps! And takes me back to the 80's straight!: )

[winterstellar]

She was the best singer among the"shoe-gazer" bands of the 80s, that's obvious! And their songs were incredible too! I want to go back to the 80s now!

[Zagnut103]

Genius...pure genius

[mezzaloona]

music for making love and resting in your lover's arms

[Amishitman]

[Amishitman]

top music

[puacino2]

Cocteau Twins rulez!

[bufon63]

Breathtaking vocals. How beautiful Liz looks. What an artist she was. Out on her own.

[elysian1111]

love it. probably some of the most beautiful emotional blissfully transcendent music ever created. 

[Quepedoporquenoentra]

I bet they are included into God's iPod!

[krlozerrera]

PROBABLY THE MOST UNDERATED BAND OF ALL-TIMES,HER CRYSTAL ANGEL VOICE TOUCHES THE MOST INNER PART OF MY SOUL¡¡¡¡¡

[adreamworld]

welcome to heaven ! this is angel's voice

[esellori]

Elisabeth's vocals speak for themselves as usual,but I love the delay/echo effect on the guitar,and that same old reliable bass doing it's thing.

[mrbufon]

esta música parece de otro mundo

[royb1001]

Just ethereal heaven!

[AyahuaskaPop]

Yo adoro todo lo de CT...

[frankkubb]

simply BEAUTIFUL

LIGHT YEARS ahead of their time.....FLAWLESS!

Thank You for this gift [post] ;D

[schreipe]

who could explain the constant state of eternal enlightment by sharing this song:

only this song can:) that tune, the melody, endless memories over love overdose

[schreipe]

words cannot compare to it

[schreipe]

classic paramusical oversphere

enlightet eternities of one love

makes me crazy like tearsof the

unknowing

[aleabanto]

o.o

[PTheodore33]

This song takes me away to enchantment. As I get older, I tend to cling to this kind of music from that time period. Liz was the Queen of my musical universe for so many years. God bless her!

[DYKEPALS]

liz is such a beautiful human being

[JMR83]

I can never understand a thing she sings about but that's not the point. It's the dreamy ambience and souns that makes them special.

[satellitegeo]

she aint from England

shes born and bread in Grangmouth Scotland Liz Frazer & so was Robin Guthrie

its only Simon Raymonde thats born in London i think..

[FallopianY0UTUBE]

After all that i've heard, all the great songs i've heard from different bands. I can say, with certainty, that Cocteau Twins is my favorite band.

[visioncommission]

nice LOVE your name-that is classic haha

[taddyd1]

THE QUEEN OF ENGLISH ALTERNATIVE ROCK-- there is no one like Liz Fraser; a true original. this song is EPIC & FEROCIOUS! ALL HAIL THE QUEEN...

[Hirsute63]

Scottish...

[tbah00]

There wasn't much coke being used back in these days, right!?!

[DYKEPALS]

stupid and irrelevant question.  piss off

[esellori]

The guitar is great,and Elisabeth's voice can only be matched by a small group of people.

Especially on "song of the siren".

As for the lyrics,she's multi-lingual,and not only mixes languages in the same song,but says she just makes alot of it up as she goes,whether it makes sense or not.

So alot of it is jibberish,but it goes well with the music.

Rappers do the same thing,she was just years ahead of the times.

She's truly amazing,and I'd love the pleasure of meeting her.

[cordawg1]

Great music, but lighten up people. She has stated that she often does not know what the words mean, nor does she want to know. It is good music, but it is different to each person. She is an artist with a great voice singing words she does not always understand. Some of you take it way to seriously.

[RainPoetry]

Although all their work is so brilliant, there is something so untouchable about this track. It's as near perfection as I've heard.

[Howardfh]

Oh joyful goodly much to earfold after all timegone. Wonderload!!

Never could work out which was my fave CT track. This one? Pur?? Ooze Out And Away Onehow?? Love them for ever and ever.

Much heartly xxx

[fabysofy]

magnifico.

simplemente genial

I love Cocteau Twins

I love Liz Fraser

she´s so great and unique artist

[SexyAICfan87]

What nationality are the Cocteau Twins...?

[ucmac]

They're Scottish.

[fabysofy]

Escoceces

;-)

[hume12345]

this song is impossibly beautiful.

[RainPoetry]

@hume12345 well said.

[PinkFluffies]

this song is so raw. i will always love this band.

[frankyoualot08]

So agreed. Saw them live in KC, early 90's. No concert like it. Chills for 2 hours. Far more going on here than music; obvious by what it evokes in all of us. Enjoy them.

[Webconomist]

Stunning as ever, years later. They know how to compose a simple yet complex sound...

[mysputniktv]

Best group forever, mi special award for you Liz !!

[patcharisma]

When that single came out we - really - listened to it over & over & over, a thousand times till the vinyl got even!

I still think it's their greatest song and surely one of the biggest out in the 80's. Nice to find it here at the end! pat (Switzerland)

[PistolPete1965]

why are we not funding this!

[happerbolic]

Nothing says I love you more than:

4ad-dot-com-slash-releases-sla­sh-treasure

had cassettes of them dating back through the 80's / 90's, but for a ingenious band such as CT had to go digital as well (sounds better and get different variations too)

Will Heggie's (CT) early band - Lowlife did some really phenomenal stuff as well - Nothing beats CT, though.

Wikiped Lowlife_(band)

I don't think post's go through w/ links, so...

[karziflora]

How sublime, dark & angelic at the same time.....

[lemonkooler]

perfectly said

[NeutronZapper]

3:00  wow the eyes!

[adreamworld]

Probably the VERY best song of CT....this band ...a legend....if only could turnb back time

[vazjam]

How to choose the Very best? Saw them lots, back in the day...

This? Possibly, very possibly my fave too...or would it be Cherry Coloured Funk? Or Flagstones? or...or...or...

Nope...can't decide...have to listen to all of them again...and again ... and !!! xx

[loveseasytears]

Oh my fav!

Finally a clean version.

Thank you for posting!

♥

[kristianjoneid]

liz fraser was amazing her voice just does it for me sheer brilliance xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxx

[imagineryboy]

The twins and the cure - the soundtrack to my life. Elizabeth makes me take a deep breath. Robert reads my mind.

[pianohbc]

have you heard her sing song to the siren- look up yt This mortal coil- song to the siren - her early brilliance again

[Zyga310]

Te czasy , ta muzyka , Ci ludzie już się ne powtórzą . Cocteau Twins the best.

[eccentricblonde]

One of my 2 favorites groups of all times (the Cure is the other) both have an ability to plunge deep into my being and bring me to another sense of existence

[Antigodsgod]

Yes.

[stephenp1968]

Same here. Both are my favorite bands as well. We have good taste.

[BrethynDa]

They were way too clever in an age that favored idiocy!

[bobbysevensevenseven]

Good point, but I think idiocy is favored more now than it ever was in the 80's.

[rgm1984]

Good music is lost in the sea of idiocy.

Cocteau Twins is my life raft.

[RealLifeMikeP]

could be a spell or a hex

[DYKEPALS]

why arent these people the most famous musicians of the 1980s?

[World2008rain]

good question... too many supremely amazing bands don't get the credit they deserve it's quite sad.

[DYKEPALS]

true... but i have a feeling these folks may be famous years from now. at least known and respected. like after artists die and suddenly become known.

[decoreh]

the world need cult bands, man

then you be happy when you realize how extense is the music

[Kallisteezie]

the world still isn't ready

[davemja]

Yes! I always thought that too ... hard to believe their music making began almost 30 years ago. I think one of the most influential bands ever.

[FaceInTheRain]

So very very true.

[marky123456789098765]

yeah so true, found you fucker!!!!

[morrigange]

@DYKEPALS aren't they?

[HarryPotter87]

@DYKEPALS By famous, they were liked by fans of old-skool goth, punk, and alternative music. But, yeah, they were famous throughout the alternative and underground market.

[silviapais]

but they are. :-)))

[DYKEPALS]

saffdssfsad

[svy70]

If I were Robin, I'd love her...forever...

[reieto]

"i love you. why don't you love me too? why don't you? Please, please, please." 2:50-3:30 (repeated once). Although Liz is hiding her words in the beginning of the video, deliberately changing the pronunciation as she does in Carolyn's Fingers. Sad, but it must be tough to have the subject of most of your sad songs playing guitar next to you. "Oh, Robin.."

[pur69]

When will you folk give up on thinking you know what she's singing? Your interpretations are vague approximations which don't have any relation to the real thing! Go & read what Liz has to say herself!

[reieto]

what liz says about what´s she´s singing depends on what year the interview was made. there´s an audio recording of her discussing the lyrics to "whales tales", but what you´re most likely referring to is her famous coverups to her lyrics, when she said they were about "coping" with robin.

[pur69]

Yeah, she may talk about what she's singing! Nothing about the words she uses, though! Or how she transforms them!

[reieto]

actually, in the interview re: whales tales the interviewers ask her to speak the lyrics twice and she does. it's weird and strange. she said that she got them from a book and she doesn't want to know what they mean.

[donimo04]

Nunca había escuchado algo igual, es lo mejor en musica! es totalmente una recreacion de sensaciones.

[lettherebeme]

Came across them purely by accident as a supporting band at the Hammersmith Odeon 85 I reckon. I was completely blown away.

The approach seemed so simple and the music seemed so full of mystery and beauty.

Shall never forget them,glad there are others out there who feel the same.

[pur69]

This is sooo much better then the other video of this song here on Youtube! But I want to know if she mimed! Looks to me like she's singing live and meaning every indecipherable word!!!

[kenrubes]

it's definitely the studio track, pur69.

[craigisrex]

where...O...where did all that time go? takes me back so far, so fast...

[halation777]

I forgot how much I LOVE this song!!

[BrethynDa]

Thanks for posting this... my favorite Cocteau Twins song. Been looking for it on CD here in the US, and can't find it anywhere. Anyone have any suggestions?

[PebblesMintstone]

It can be found on the Lullabies to Violaine compilation, released a little over a year ago. I think ebay might have a few copies.

[kenrubes]

you posted a better version.....good work!!

Arguably one of their best tunes.

[splf]

the melodies these guys created behind such wild sounds conveyed so much meaning. Amazing, thank you.

[pur69]

I bought this on 12" vinyl in 1986, knew there was a video but never saw it until 2005! My all-time faveourite Cocteaus EP's. I lose myself in that wall of sound & vocals towards the end!!! Pure magic created by mere mortals!

[orangevideo]

Oh Liz.........this started it all for me.....timeless.....Robin Guthrie's guitar washes and her vocals......80's had sonic art in the name of 4 A.D. bands.

[kenrubes]

It's the same with me. This tune is what got me into them in the first place. It was a pretty amazing experience to first discover them. Things have never been quite the same, since.

[BajorRon]

One of my personal favourites of the Cocteaus! Thanks for this!
