[shum65]

@NancyVK085 Hi there, glad you enjoyed this dreamy track :))

[posypity]

no wonder elizabeth left the band when she sang this wonder

and it wasn't the a-side to the single.

[shum65]

@posypity They sure did always have classy b-sides, sometimes

they were better then the a-sides lol, now thats class haha :)

[posypity]

@shum65 talking of class, sounds like she sings in this:

night on a shoreline

knickerbockerglory

[shum65]

@posypity Lol, not had a Knickerbockerglory in years haha :)

[shum65]

@posypity They sure did always have classy b-sides, sometimes

they were better then the a-sides lol, now thats class haha :)

[shum65]

@robson5333 Hi there, glad you enjoyed this dreamy song my friend, :)

[Billlyanalogies]

This is such a unique song, it's one that doesn't put you in a bad or good mood, like some drifted dream song. I don't know whether to be afraid or happy or sad.. either way its beautiful.

[shum65]

@Billlyanalogies Hi there, I agree it is like a dream song, beautiful is the perfect description...

Good to hear from you Billyanalogies :)

[shum65]

@ritchiepeyton As ya now know mate, yep, done that one, twice I think..

I did a shorter version too...

[ritchiepeyton]

You do the best Cocteau Twins uploads here, shum65 and for them I am very greatful because I've loved them from the very first hearing of Lullabies way back in the '80s. I've accepted and enjoyed their changes too, from the raw and raucous Lullabies and Garlands right through their transitions in later work to this very day. Thank you, friend person of excellence.

[shum65]

@ritchiepeyton Hi their ritchie, your very kind my friend,

your so right about how the band changed and developed

in their sound over the years, and went on to influence a whole

generation of bands, I too love the early rawness upto their dreamy-

shoegaze classics, its so good to meet another devoted fan m8....!!!

Many thanks for all your brilliant comments.....keep on listening my friend.

[12Heidica]

I want to die to this song....

The most amazing voice ever!

[shum65]

@12Heidica Your so right, its hauntingly beautiful for sure....

and brought to a bigger audience thanks to the Lovely Bones movie.

Thanks my friend, glad your enjoying the Cocteaus music too..!!

[animagigirl]

i had heard it for first time in my new wave epoques..

its so lovely..

[shum65]

back in 1996, I,m so pleased your enjoying this hauntingly beautiful song fabbianfp,

Its good to hear from you my friend, thanks for your comments...

[fabbianfp]

@shum65 frazier was in my country some years ago..

i hope to see them singing soon when i go to europe..

i love amelia too,it reminds me of my epoques of new wave..

[shum65]

@fabbianfp Hi my friend, that would be so cool seeing Liz Fraser

in concert, have you heard her newest single from last year called

"Moses". I like "Amelia" also, its just like listening to a chant, an amazing song.

Great to hear from you fabbianfp.......

[88poppies]

Elizabeth Fraser's voice gives me the chills

[shum65]

@88poppies Me too my friend, Lizs vocals are otherworldly.......!!!

[yotc11]

bhaaaa, this is kinda freaky, listening to the song and thinking about the lovely bones story at the same time in a dark place!!!! I better go to sleep now!!! I mean, the ladies voice in this song is really good and it suited well in the lovely bones trailer where all colourful places (the inbetween) appears!!!!

[shum65]

@yotc11 Hi Their, It sure has that haunting quality about it thats for sure my friend

The Cocteau Twins early tracks from their "Garlands" album is much more dark,

and slightly gothic in sound, check them out...

Thanks yotc11, good to hear from ya....!!!

I've been obsessed with song for a while now. I wasn't alive in the eighties, but I love the music.

[shum65]

Hi mate,its great to hear that your enjoying

music from the 80s, I was lucky enough to

be their when it all happened,and I,m still

Its been great that "Alice" has been used in big budget films recently, exposing the

Cocteau's music to a bigger audience..

Keep on enjoying them my friend...!!!!

[shum65]

Hi my friend.thats cool about it being used

in "Alice In Wonderland" also....!!

I agree,its really great when these classic songs are used in high profile films...

It brings these songs to a wider audience

that otherwise wouldn't have heard them.

[kyrabeauregard]

why can't i get this song on itunes?

[shum65]

Hi mate..not sure why you cant get it on

itunes..have you not tried to download it

from another site, its over 14yrs old now,

but it should be on The Lovely Bones film

track also, sorry I cant help ya more...

Let me know how you get on....!!

Good Luck....

[rv112xy]

The song isn't able to buy anywhere for download. As CD it's the same. But now, I'm about to get a CD Album where "Alice" is inside. Don't know, if the song already has a copyright. Otherwise I could send it to you, if I've got him.

[shum65]

Hi my friend, thats very kind of you, I think

it was kyrabeauregard who's been trying

to find this song on itunes....

I,ve already got it on CD luckily.....

Many thanx for your help my friend.....!!!

[PurpleXxDollxx]

[TheVasilisas]

@Mrcheesemitten

Dude, no one is talking to you.

[kathylove2]

I LOVE THIS SONG!

I saw The Lovely Bones.

It was pretty good (:

[shum65]

songs too,theirs lots like this one....

Flock of Soul,and Eperdu.....

I,ve not seen Lovely Bones yet. I,m glad U

enjoyed it my friend....!!

[phase866]

A truly magnificent piece of music. The Cocteau Twins never cease to amaze me. Her voice is amazing, almost ethereal-like.

[shum65]

Hi phase...your so right my friend, over the

years,the Cocteau Twins have covered so many differing musical styles, and done

with such ease and style, and they always

touch your heart and soul......

Ethereal-like..is a perfect comparison....!!!

[phase866]

I first discovered this song via 'The Lovely Bones' trailer, and I knew I had to hear it as soon as I heard a part of it.

When I think of this song...I imagine an endless river with a light violet sky and the moon almost halfway into the sky =]

[TheVasilisas]

Hey, can I ask you something?

[shum65]

Hi TheVasilisas....its not rude is it.?..haha

Ask away my friend....

[TheVasilisas]

Wait, are you phase866?????

[phase866]

uh.. yes I am lol..

[TheVasilisas]

Uh, I'm a little confused....

Do you have two accounts???

phase866 && shum65

[phase866]

No, when you replied to Shum I also got a notification because we were replying to eachother.

[TheVasilisas]

OH!!! LOL!!!!! I knew that!!!

Well, do you mind if I ask you the question then?

[phase866]

XD lmao

sure go ahead ^^

[TheVasilisas]

Do you remember the comment you posted? The one where you said

"When I think of this song...I imagine an endless river with a light violet sky and the moon almost halfway into the sky =]" ???

[phase866]

mhm I remember =]

[TheVasilisas]

Well, do you mind if I use it.....?

[phase866]

of course not! lol. Why wouldn't you be able to use it : ]

[TheVasilisas]

Well, you see, my friend is writing her second book and she while she's writing it she wanted to listen to this song. And she liked what you said and so she asked me to ask you to see if you'd let her use it. She liked what you said. Really. =)

[phase866]

She's writing a book!? thats amazing, whats it called =D

[TheVasilisas]

LOL. I don't know yet. She's concentrating on writing it first. ;)

But she wanted to know if you'd let her use what you said, if it's alright with you of course. =)

[phase866]

oh lol. well its cool, words aren't my property.

[TheVasilisas]

Oh, well, thank you.

[phase866]

You're welcome~

Whats she writing about anyways?

[TheVasilisas]

She's, uh, writing about vampires and werewolfes.

No, not like Twilight.

[phase866]

ohh. Matches the song.

[TheVasilisas]

Yeah. And thier's a part where the main character is with the enemy (Just think Romeo and Juielt!) and they have a nice night together and she wanted to use this song and what you said.

[phase866]

That's the perfect scene for this!

[TheVasilisas]

LOL. Yeah, that's waht she thought! Uhh, BTW, what's your name again?

[phase866]

Alan lol

I never got yours xD

[TheVasilisas]

Your a guy???

I'm Princess Vasilisa Demitria Azrael Belikov.

[phase866]

Indeed I am.

Princess!? you are a princess?

[TheVasilisas]

@phase866

Princess? Where'd you get that from? LOL. My BIRTH name is PRINCESS Vasilisa Demitria Azrael Belikov, if thats what you mean.

::))))

[phase866]

Haha yea the princess part kinda got me there...

So your parents named you Princess?

[TheVasilisas]

@phase866

Yeah, they did. Princess Vasilisa Demitria Azrael Belikov. My twins name is Dimitri Vasilny Abaddon Belikov.

[shum65]

Voodoo Magic..???

[InnerRise]

Hey. Get your camera out the water. The video is all messed up.

[shum65]

Hi mate...Its actually behind bubbled glass in our front door, very effective as a

watery type illusion... the idea is for a sort

of dream-like feeling....

But what a beautiful song my friend....!!!

[Mr007Music]

Just saw "Stealing Beauty" again, with much wine, and the song figures nicely there too............can't believe it was originally a B side!

[shum65]

Hi 007...like the sound of that wine mate.!!

Not seen "Stealing Beauty" for ages...

Yeah, this was believe it or not a B-Side...

but what a classy B-Side indeed...!!!

Happy New Year 007.....!!!

[Mr007Music]

Hey Shum, you should check the movie again, very nice "coming of age" story, as you know, set in Tuscany, so the wine accompniament is fundamental! You're clearly a major guru of the Cocteaus - I first heard them in '83 at uni, and that Christmas was all Cocteaus and The Smiths in John Peels festive 50! They've been a part of my life ever since, for those special moments of chill and contemplation. Happy New New Year to you too mate!

[shum65]

Hi mate, yeah,I first heard them in 83 to..

live on a programme called "The Tube"

Sounds like that 83 crimbo was brilliant,

with all that classy music playing....!!!

John Peel was so brill to the Cocteau's....

RIP John.....!!!!

Its great hearing from ya mate, best to ya

for the New Year....!!!

Keep listening my friend.....

[Mr007Music]

You know Shum, I didn't know JP had died - bloody hell - anyway, alternative to the last, he died in Peru! A true guru of music, and discoverer of all things new..........before we had the internet! The passing of an era..........and now I feel old.........

[blackredcrow]
