can you get the lyrics on the interweb? What i loved most about cocteaus was making up my own shit. lyrics cus we didnt have a single iota what liz was going on about,it just sounded right
At precisely 3:13 , on this vid., Liz is laughing , and the cat feels soooooo good, being scratched under it's chin.That is how great Cocteau Twins makes me feel, x100.I had a cat that looked just like that,"Scratches", and I often say, he was my brother, he just happend to be a cat.Cocteau Twins music is Love ,in the form of sound.Absorb it whenever you listen.This is one of their strongest tunes, to me.Huge, epic and important ,bordering on religious.Listen, out in the World for max. effect.
Still the best female vocalist ever in my mind. And she is Scottish. Saw her years ago in the old Glasgow Pavilion. Loved the oncore,they just rewinded the drum machine and played the first 3 songs again. Fantastic stuff.

I first saw this on 'the tube' (UK TV Program) and was spellbound from that minute onward - Great dreamy vocals from Liz and sublime dreamy backing - I would reccomend 'Victorialand' for anyone who is not familiar with the Cocteaus!!!
This is my favorite work by her. I want to say its her best work, but admittedly I have not heard all of it, so I can't say that just yet, but if there's an apex to this apex I'd be humbly shocked.
Her voice does a beautiful dance in this song. She ascends a staircase and then twirls on a pedastal all with beautiful grace.
This is their best song and this version of it here (on this webpage) is its best version. Thank you for sharing this version. I can't believe they don't have this version on their MySpace page. It's so wrong! The production is too polished in the other version. The music sounds too heavy for her vocals. In the version you hear here, it's perfect. The light touch production enables us to hear the beautiful vocals better.
To the person that said there is plenty of good modern music around: I agree. Problem is you have to dig through huge piles of crap to get to the good stuff. Aren't you glad anyone with a computer can make music now?
When will people know that there are NO ACTUAL LYRICS in most of their songs that can't seem to be understood? It clearly says that they're doing mouth music. The lyrics that are found in the internet are just vocables (so you can sing along to it even though the lyrics are meaningless)... Look it up. ffffs
@Adeldee But the Band had always said that Liz Fraser rarely sings in gibberish and that the songs that people think that are meaningless are actually real english words, but Liz just stretched the grammar of the words so they can fit to a song and Liz always said in interviews that some Songs are written in complicated, obscure, and unknown foreign languages from foreign language dictionaries that she couldn't and don't understand.
@Mr1991ladarius Hey. I never said I was right or anything... But it is true that she has sung in that style but not everyone can know what the truth really is. Hrmh... I'm just a human and nothing more.
if you knew this song, back in the day, and listening to it now doesn't bring a tear to your eye, you just may be an alien.Don't over think it, just listen and make it your own,sound over lyrics. Beauty is beauty, remember this was just a thought at one time. To realize it and create this sound is pure Art.
I lived through the "classic alternative eighties" and yes music was great back then, but there is some great music now. The Angelic Process I had only heard of a half a year ago and they're already in my top ten. There's also: Porcupine Tree Air Formation Ulrich Schnauss A Place To Bury Strangers White Lies Antony and the Johnsons Asobi Seksu Butterfly Explosion Glasvegas Malory Hammock M83 Paper Route Secret Machines Popular music is always going to be bland and "safe" as it's always been.
How Could anyone DISLIKE this. I accept and respect they do, but are they perhaps Tone Deaf, Gangster tough guys without emotion. Please someone that dislikes explain your reasoning
@scumgod13 Gangster tough guys? If you're referring to rap, I listen to hood shit. Like bottom of the barrel stuff. Very much emotion and unmatched writing talent goes into that genre in fact. At the same time, this is a wonderful song. I like how the artist does not actually use words, hoping to convey something outside of words.
@scumgod13 I love the Cocteau Twins, but I think the only main reason why some People dislike it is because they simply don't understand the lyrics (if there are any lyrics in the song). I don't think I could blame the People for the dislike because the Cocteau Twins are very David Lynch-ish because their Music, although very relaxing and ethereal, it's also very complicated because of Liz's Lyrics or lack thereof.
@Mr1991ladarius You don't think you can blame people for not liking music because it's too complicated and there aren't easily identifiable lyrics? I can. People who need simply music or dumbed down lyrics are fools. Lazy and simpleminded's nothing to be proud of. Mainstream music today might suck a lot less if great bands like the Cocteau Twins, bands from the past and the present, were celebrated for what gifts they do give, not how they fail to be simple enough or accessible enough.
The Pink Opaque album is in my top ten favorites from the 80's. This song was so beautiful that I didn't care that I had no idea what she was saying, I sang along anyway. This song is pure magic.
This song was, is, will ever be the most mysterious travel. When will you be back Elizabeth? We miss you so much. Thank you for opening up so many unexpected doors in the blackness of my soul.
what a brilliant and beautiful song! Kinda seems like they had to get Liz drunk in here own house to agree to do this video...JK, Simon & Robin's crazy haircuts give it even more special meaning to me. I Love it !!!
@44virus exactly! c.t's give you that euphoric feeling all by themselves. A glass of wine in the hot bath blasting them ( especially 4 cal cafe or treasure) is the most amazing feeling ever. I never get sick of them, she is the most talented lady i have ever heard of!
A friend of mine actually suggested that I get high to this music. I told her, I don't need drugs to enjoy something that's already is perfect and makes me happy. Thanks for uploading this song!
@the44virus Certainly you're right, but let me tell you, one day, by mistake, I tried weed, and played Four Calendar Café... OMG...!!! Specially OIL OF ANGELS...!!! I'm not gonna say it's better just because you're high, but it could let you appreciate it in a very different way. Like if you are part of the song, and all the sounds are surrounding you, I don't know. If you could imagine something PERFECT turns even better... then... o_O Of course, the choice is always yours. U_U Best Regards!
@photojohne absolutely. my wife and i were just talking about this perennial quality of their music... they have been the favourite band of us both for some twenty years going now. nice to see someone else feels the same way. i remember the first time i ever heard them -- blue bell knoll on cassette in 1989... i just was so moved...
My heart blossoms with the peace of eternal love when I listen to the tranquility and majesty that the holy Cocteau Twins bring forth through their everlasting religious music! Thank you forever and ever! Muah!
Your words are true and from the heart I concur 1000%. Ms.Fraser has,without doubt, THE most perfect voice. She sings fom her soul, and she passes that onto us mortals. To have whitnessed this ANGEL sing live will be with me always. If you have not heard her sing the Song TAKE ME WITH YOU- words by Alan Rickman, you must find this song on Youtube, and be completely enveloped by HER voice. Simply put...Perfection !!!!!!.
Always a TRUE fan of the Cocteau Twins and Ms.Fraser.
@Limmey69 Would you believe they didn't won anything but a stupid grammy? But... who cares about it... all the prizes on earth wouldn't be enough to say them: THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH.... Liz's voice really embraces your soul... Robin and Raymond ads the very depth of the voyague...
I'm glad I got to hear this before I died. It has enriched my life. This is one of the first of their songs I'd heard and it's still my favorite (this version specifically). Her voice actually dances in this song. Can you see it? I can. I have.
AT LAST !!!!! I have heard from someone who really,truly feels what I feel, and knows what this GODESS is all about. She is without doubt the most talented,perfect singer ever to grace this earth. I salute you for your comments.
@YourFriendWayne The imagery of dance is evoked also to me. I visualize her dancing softly then twirling during the chorus (which I choose to rename "repeated apex" or perhaps less clumsily "peak". This is my favorite production (that I've heard) of my favorite Cocteau Twins song. Kudos to performers (especially to vocalist) and thank you evermuch for my repeated enjoyment of this work.
I wish they were still around. They are doing good separately but seven so. They were one of those bands that music need to remain different and original. They still would of been good after this much time. They are still good after this much time.
in 1820 a man named fredrick osloft one day he was working in his lab until a ghost came by and killed him the next morning fredrick was nowhere to be seen 100 years later two boys went in the lab as a dare the boys where never seen again where aparently murdered now that u have read this comment tonight when u go to sleep the two boys and fredrick will come and murder you but you can stop this by posting this comment on 5 other videos by? midnight im sorry i relly hate these things
From "Echoes in a Shallow Bay"....it's called "Melonella" Although there are so many others, it's hard to really say that I have one favorite. What's yours?
This one but also Spangle Maker. Odd too that when I hear these two pieces I have to stop what I'm doing and dance. No matter when, no matter where. People just have to accept I'm being appropriated by God for a few minutes.
And, I'm happy to say, I'm 60 and this music still makes me cry.
This song is everything that still is beautiful in this troubled world. I always think of my wonderful girlfriend Fiona, who is everything to me whenever I play this.
As this song fades in at the beginning it always reminds me of a beautiful, warm summer day. That's a nice thought right now as I sit here encased in the ice and snow of Montreal. Happy New Year Aieque, and thank you.
Cocteau is just a weird spelling of cacatua right? Like the bird? Twin cacatuas? Or were they just directly referring to the French novelist in some way that doesn't make sense but sounds cool?
Damn I missed this music. Takes me back to some great times. Thanks Cocteau Twins bringing this ethereal sound. And I agree "Wax & Wane" need that track.
@Jerdna3 Exactly. There are many bands out there making music very similar to this to this day, which says something about dreampop/shoegaze. Last.fm and other sites are great tools for finding them.
@Naroon201 That's because the Cocteau Twins more or less invented shoegazing. They are one of the most influential bands ever IMHO. I have nearly every album plus most of the singles on CD and vinyl.
@Jerdna3 I think what a lot of people really mean is that in the day and age when this music was released, it was pretty easily accessible. It wasnt very difficult to find.. I mean, hell, it was on MTV... Now, you have to sift through so much mass produced, regurgitated, mediocre shit to actually find good music. If a band isn't remaking old crap, trying to meld two forms of music that don't belong, or trying to start some revolution just to do it, it se

@YourFriendWayne The imagery of dance is evoked also to me. I visualize her dancing softly then twirling during the chorus (which I choose to rename "repeated apex" or perhaps less clumsily "peak". This is my favorite production (that I've heard) of my favorite Cocteau Twins song. Kudos to performers (especially to vocalist) and thank you evermuch for my repeated enjoyment of this work.

Enya once said in a interview that she was influenced by Cocteau Twins, but was more influenced by Liz Fraser's singing style.

I wish they were still around. They are doing good separately but seven so. They were one of those bands that music need to remain different and original. They still would of been good after this much time. They are still good after this much time.

From "Echoes in a Shallow Bay"....it's called "Melonella" Although there are so many others, it's hard to really say that I have one favorite. What's yours?

This one but also Spangle Maker. Odd too that when I hear these two pieces I have to stop what I'm doing and dance. No matter when, no matter where. People just have to accept I'm being appropriated by God for a few minutes.
And, I'm happy to say, I'm 60 and this music still makes me cry.

This song is everything that still is beautiful in this troubled world. I always think of my wonderful girlfriend Fiona, who is everything to me whenever I play this.

As this song fades in at the beginning it always reminds me of a beautiful, warm summer day. That's a nice thought right now as I sit here encased in the ice and snow of Montreal. Happy New Year Aieque, and thank you.

A great Cocteaus song (the B-side to this-Kookebura is fantastic too) It's a shame the sound quality is a bit dodgy

Cocteau is just a weird spelling of cacatua right? Like the bird? Twin cacatuas? Or were they just directly referring to the French novelist in some way that doesn't make sense but sounds cool?

@LeeChoonWah I hate this attitude, every old music video I watch the highest rated comment is "there's no good music anymore"
There's plenty of good modern music around. You just need to look harder and broaden your horizons.
Not to end on a downer. This is a beautiful track.

@Jerdna3 Exactly. There are many bands out there making music very similar to this to this day, which says something about dreampop/shoegaze. Last.fm and other sites are great tools for finding them.

@Naroon201 I know, I have a last.fm, its the same as my youtube account name.
Jerdna3 1 year ago
@Naroon201 That's because the Cocteau Twins more or less invented shoegazing. They are one of the most influential bands ever IMHO. I have nearly every album plus most of the singles on CD and vinyl.
keith904A 1 year ago
@Jerdna3 I think what a lot of people really mean is that in the day and age when this music was released, it was pretty easily accessible. It wasnt very difficult to find.. I mean, hell, it was on MTV... Now, you have to sift through so much mass produced, regurgitated, mediocre shit to actually find good music. If a band isn't remaking old crap, trying to meld two forms of music that don't belong, or trying to start some revolution just to do it, it se
