I have no idea why I'm replying to youtube comments but here goes. Liz Fraser was chosen specifically because of her singing style. For those unfamiliar with her previous work (Cocteau Twins), dream-pop bands often had fairly subdued vocals.
And I'm sure that this particular track is especially difficult for her to sing given that it was recorded days after receiving news that a close friend had died.
The person who commented on the Dr. House intro.. that's because it is. lol. The person who said it's fake, lol. Why is it fake? Because the video is a little bit earlier than the sound? You can see the drummer playing parts of the cymbals that clearly do not sound like the original song. And to the person who crits that she can't sing.. Live performances aren't as important with singing as the recording. The little imperfections in a live show offer the reminder that they're still humans.
Musicians are Magicians. I wonder if Presidents & Prime ministers chillout or have a right knees up behind closed doors, I could just see David Camron doing a Mr Beam lol...
@NicolasDezillio que poca idea tienes.... Es la cantante de los cocteau twins. Esta canción fue concebida para ser cantada asi... A ver si te informas un poco antes de mostrarte orgulloso de tu propia ignorancia...
@ManDeLBaumMuZiK bueeeeeee che, no se sientan ofendidos, no era para tanto, solo que esperaba que el tema explote y me dejo a medio camino, pero es cierto, me fui de boca. Saludos!
Agreed on all accounts. Stimulating and fundamental shift in perception and time. And yes the vocals needed a boost. The reverb and delay is fabulous! but drowns out what is meant to be heard.. Otherwise, a beautiful composition ;-)
fantastic ....after treasure though it was alittle bit samey...ivo on his dx7..simon on strumdiddly D dum...robin wondering why there was three other strings on his geetar...and liz....a genius singer. if there was a monkey pluckin his hamstrings shed write a melody...where did the original bass player go? and why?
ELIZABETH FRASER THE COCTEAU TWINS VOICE The groupe was a phenomenon. Not necessarily the kind that plays to stadiums or fills MTV's timeslots or even sells millions of records. Rather, the kind that quietly causes a fundamental shift in perception, exerting a seminal influence that is universally felt if not always seen. the art form, thankfully, will last forever.
@shugalluful she sounds like her voice is tired or sick with a cold. its very difficult for a singer to sing over and over on concerts. thats why only very few are able to sing very well on concerts while others lip sync
@shugalluful ....i have to do with music...the mic hast to much reverb...thats why she can`t put full boost in the voice...the rest mix of instruments is o.k. but the voice ...wrong seetings costs 50% expression of the voice...but great song... ; )
@shugalluful I agree. I think the mix could have been much better, especially at a venue with the kind of prestige that actually has a professional camera crew.

@Liriks In a recording, you have the opportunity of redoing a part over and over again until it's perfect.. can't do that live.
