Cocteau Twins - Treasure Hiding

[posypity]

this song becomes poignant by the years as it could easily sum up

the cocteau-absence. nevertheless the song following it on the album

was the perfect way to end. i see treasure hiding as that tantalising

glimpse of fairies, that momentary glint of rainbow's gold, the faintecho

promise of ophelia resurfacing to reclaim her flowery throne.

[shum65]

@posypity Hi there, its funny but your right, I find their songs have

got more poignant as the years pass bye, I get more and more

emotional about them, even making all these videos to each song

has brought me closer both to the song,and the band, :-[)

[fanacloche]

Mac musique préférée !

[shum65]

@UnrealHelix Hi there, its always cool when I hear from someone

whose just discovered the Cocteau Twins, I,m glad you enjoyed

this amazing song, I,ve not heard the Goldfrapp track, but I,ll check-

it out my friend, great hearing from ya UnrealHelix......!!!

[UnrealHelix]

@shum65 Yeah definitely, and you really should check that song out! I'm pretty busy with my studies these days...are there any other stand out tracks I should listen to?

[UnrealHelix]

@shum65 I bought the album milk & kisses (remastered) ...listening to Eperdu :)

[shum65]

@UnrealHelix I love Eperdu, checkout my video for it my friend...

[Limmey69]

@shum65

HelloShum 65,

This is Limmey69. How are you my old Cocteau friend. Long time no speak.

There is not a day goes by that I do not listen to her ROYAL highness queen Elizabeth.She brightens even the dullest day with her perfect voice.

Please drop me a line when you have a moment, as I would like to talk some more about "The Queen"

Regards, Limmey69

[shum65]

@Limmey69 Hi there my friend, its good to hear from you again, your so right

about Liz's voice, it never fails to brighten the darkest days for me.... :))

I hope all is good with you m8, we can talk anytime my friend, that would be

really nice, take care Limmey.. !!! :))

[Newwave77rise]

HEAVEN...

[shum65]

@Newwave77rise Your so right my friend,.....!!!!

[photojohne]

Brilliant album. I think it's one of my favs. So much emotion. Liz's relationship with Robin had been over for 3 yrs. and you can hear the pain and angst in the lyrics. Supposed to be a reunion tour last year, but she can't fucking stand him and refused to work with him.

[shum65]

@photojohne Hi Their, your so right about M+K, its filled with pure

emotions, Lizs pain is brilliantly encapsulated in her vocals...

her voice is one heavenly instrument, its sad that she and Robin

find it difficult to work together, maybe one day they,ll find peace

with each other, but at least we all have their music legacy..

good to hear from you my friend..!!!

[photojohne]

@shum65  Cheers mate. Thanks for the post. :)

[shum65]

@photojohne Your very welcome my friend, glad your enjoying

the CTs awesome sounds....have a fab weekend m8.....!!!!

[hantonjavi]

I agree,milk and kisses is a masterpiece and an ideal ending for their career,the last two songs of the cd are the perfect testament,and there are more great songs like half gifts for instance

[shum65]

@hantonjavi Totally right my friend, M+K is a classic album,

filled with beauty and pain....one can only dream about that last

uncompleted album they started....lets hope.....one day maybe.?

[WickIDwarrior]

I'm a guy and I wept like a baby when I first heard this song. It still triggers strong and such vivid memories for me. I wish I could forget certain memories and all I would have left is this song.

[shum65]

@WickIDwarrior Its a beautiful song, and Liz has such a gift for

touching the heart,with her amazing vocals, she does the same

to me, bringing tears to the eyes, I hope your able to cope one day

with those painful memories my friend....take care....!!!!

[ordnajelAoneuB]

Damn "Milk & Kisses" is an awesome album. I don't understand why most of CT fans say it is the "worst CT album". Here is the master proove, a song that could killl anyone who ever had a heart. Cocteau Twins is the best band for ever and ever.

[shum65]

@ordnajelAoneuB Hi Their, your right M+K is pure magic of sound, I love this heaven

sent track, it gives me goose bumps, I guess one of so many qualities the Cocteaus

have, is a wide diverse range of music styles throughout their albums, giving us all

as fans our very own intimate favorites, I so agree the CTs are the BEST EVER...

[shum65]

Hi mate, love what your saying about this

haunting song....you word it beautifully....!!!

Its so nice to see you visiting this one my

friend on a regular basis....!!!

Keep on enjoying this my friend....

[Cotdail]

And tears down yr cheeks.

[shum65]

Hi mate, The Cocteau's sure know how to

touch the heart and soul.....

[shum65]

Hi gen, yeah,me too...just love it my friend,

Happy New Year 2 ya.....!!!

[cocteautwin75]

it is the 'INBETWEEN' she sings of!

[shum65]

Hi my friend, not sure what you mean.?

But I,m so no expert on the meanings to

the Cocteau's Brilliant songs, I,d love to

know the actually thoughts and stories that are behind each song though..

I think that can really help to get you more deeper involved in the whole experience...

Thanx cocteautwin75, good to hear from

you my friend...All the best for 2010..!!!

[karziflora]

CT's music reaches unknown places in my heart and soul.....this is like going through a spiritual trance for the first time....Divine!

great work as always Dave!

[shum65]

Hi my friend..you,ve taken the words from

my mouth, I so agree with what you say...

The Cocteaus just always touch your soul

Its good to know you feel the same mate.

Thanks for your kind comments, I,m very

pleased you enjoyed the video also...

Best Wishes to ya.....!!!

[wowbobwow37]

One of my top ten Cocteau Twins songs!! Love it!!

[shum65]

Cheers mate...Classy choice....!!!

A haunting song, vocally and musically..

and hopefully video-ally,ha-ha.!!

Like you I love-it to....!!

[Marooth]

this is reminding me vaguely of cocorosie for some reason.

[shum65]

Hi Marooth my friend.. not sure I,ve heard

cocorosie..!! but if it sounds like this song

then I must check it out....

Cheers mate...

[aigulfromrussia]

Liz....this extraordinary,genious woman in our world....

[shum65]

Ah..you speak words of wisdom my friend

good to hear from ya......!!!

[shum65]

Hi mate...great song choice..!!

Its always a pleasure to meet other fans.

Cheers for that ...

[kalungarocker]

Fabulous!!! Strange an exotic!! No words.

[shum65]

Hi kalungarocker..perfectly said mate.!!

[ikerhorseton]

Music like this is... well, there is no music like this. Is there?

[shum65]

Hi mate..I agree you just dont hear music

like this anymore,not on commercial radio

or TV...I know theirs good stuff out their,

but its not what the public wants alas...!!

Once fashions change again,lets hope

this class sound takes hold of the charts.

And all these top bands are heard again.

Cheers mate..!!

[mnkpepper]

[u2ups]

first time to see elisabeth sing was on you tube... 8D

[shum65]

Hi u2ups..The first time I saw Liz,was way

back in 1983,on a live TV programme,

called "The Tube" with the Cocteau Twins

Singing "Musette And Drums" it just blew

my mind...!!!

It can be seen here on YouTube....

[riverplate0101]

Like one of their album covers that came to life.

[shum65]

Thanks mate...thats high praise indeed.!!

Much appreciate your kind comments..

And sorry for taking so long to reply...!!

Best wishes to ya...

[lfck116]

Anyone have this but the original???

[shum65]

Hi Ifck116, I,ve only heard this version,

which is taken from the album "Milk And

Kisses" if you mean the video, as far as I,m aware,their isn't an official video to this

track...!!

[sultitanitan]

Well done again shum! I think I might try doing a Cocteau Twins fan video sometime soon as well.

[shum65]

Thanks mate,glad ya enjoyed this one..!!! Go for it my friend..!! its brill doing videos.. And gives you such a buzz,knowing it gets seen all over the world...!! And by the band members too..!! Simon Raymonde got in touch with me.. a few weeks back,offering his kind help with my problems with WARNER...!! He was brilliant...and thanked me for all the videos,and introducing new fans, to- the Cocteau Twins music..!!! So go for it my friend....!!!

[untamac]

stunning video, a real inspiration, i like to add visuals to the brilliant work of cocteau twins myself, have at least made one attempt on my own utube page, looks like you are the master :o)

[shum65]

Hi untamac,your very kind my friend!

You really should keep on with your videos,

The Cocteau Twins always inspire such passion

in their fans!

Theirs lots of others here on YouTube,who are

much better than me at video making!

Great comments untamac,thanks for that!!

[CAROPASK]

I love all CT songs, but (like Wunterberg) this one is very special for me... You make such beautiful effects in your videos. Merci Shum

[shum65]

God bless both you my friend,and Wunterberg!!

You have both touched me,by your moving words!

I,m so pleased to have come across such nice

friends from all over the world!!

Merci to you CAROPASK!!

[wunterberg]

Among all of the others CT songs, there are two that I consider as very, very special - Lazy Calm and Treasure Hiding. But, today I found the incredible experience of listening the unique harmony of Cocteau Twins enhanced by the remarkable visual experience. This is a true masterpiece! My sincere compliments to you for this remarkable videoart.

[shum65]

Your very kind indeed wunterberg!!!

Your amazing words have truly made my day!!!

Its a great honour for me to have made this

video,to such a beautiful song, which has been

made all the more special,by your enjoyment-

of my video!!

Its so great to meet other Cocteau Twins fans!

Thank you so much dear friend,for your truly

fantastic comments!!!!!

God Bless to you wunterberg!!!

I absolutely agree with davesixtysix. Your work is second to none.I can tell that you, like myself,are a true,lasting and loving fan of The Twins.When I listen to Ms.Fraser singing I am transported to a very very safe place. Her voice is,without a shadow of a doubt,the best I have ever heard in all of my 49 years

Keep up the great work man !!!!!!

[shum65]

What truly fantastic comments,dear friend!!!

I,m very humbled by your very kind words!!!

Thank you so much for that Limney69!!
