I have to disagree with Robin Guthrie. The Cocteau Twin's music became completely unbearable to me after their early batch of albums. I adore this single, and Garlands is one of my all time favorite recordings.
@skinnymexicanbuddha Yeah, and Simon Raymonde said "It's our worst album by a mile". I may be viewed as a heretic by a large mass of CT fans, but I agree with him. Although a good concept per se, it sounds a bit unfinished to me. All the songs are well conceived but leave a lot to be desired as well. Too repetitive, programmed drum sequence is extremely dated (mid-'80s) and too simple, not too much of progressions within songs. Compared to Head Over Heels, Vicorialand, Blue Bell Knoll, it loses.
back in 89 90 was the first time I heard this album after treasure had already came out so I thought I would go back to see what they were doing back in the day...................and I was reading a book at the same time so of course whenever I hear this song.........the hand of a woman by diana brown.. fiction goody goody gum drops
My favourite Cocteau Twins song and the very first I heard from them in 1983 on Radio Luxembourg. At the time I thought the sounded a bit like Siouxsie & The Banshees, which is a big compliment in my opinion.
I've always loved the Andalusian bass line in this tune... Lord Jesus, I first heard this over 25 years ago. I still love it, even though it's considered rather uncharacteristic of the Twins.
one of my faves, probably cuz of nostalgy too as a part of it all, but really a BIG great song, to look for if one doesn't have anything else than the albums.
Remarquable video pour ce remarquable morceau! Thanks for this awesome creation, hope you will get similar inspiration for some songs of the Garland LP as well.
One of my favorite early Cocteau Twins songs I absolutely love the part at 25 when that bass comes in. This version is a little bit different than the one on Lullabies to Violane I notice. Thanks for the post Lopes!
un vero capolavoro

Nice imagery.
This was once my favorite songs when I was young... (This version, also)...
If i am not mistaken,... is that video clip montage,
incorporating a silhouette of Morrissey onstage, dancing ;)?...

@Crijevo I agree. Alan Rankine of the Associates produced the EP (which is a VERY good thing in my opinion)

I consider this clip the best video
posted here, made by a fan of CT.
(Well, I also like the Pandora - live video.)
Good job.
It fits perfectly well.
I watch it over and over again.

I love this song, and the sometimes maligned EP it's taken from. It's like the Cocteau's go to Andalucía on holiday.

It makes want to dance right now.
Ps: This version is awesome.

This version is from the EP(12") and I guess the one on Lullabies to Violane is the single(7") version. The CD single has both versions.
