Carolyn's fingers - Cocteau twins

The greatest band of all time, the Cocteau Twins, with their videoclip for Carolyn's fingers (Off the album " Blue Bell Knoll ")

When he said 'You are full of love'
She fell down into this dirty mess
Some people silly like him tell us
'It's wrong to make fun of me'
Even they don't give any more
Try, try to fall
She fell down into a dirty mess
Even then they don't give
Try, try to fall
She fell down and he's so sick of it all
And of me
This part not out of her saw fit to drop
Whispers might prove it all
You're just closer to me when you fall, but you broke
This would prove it all
You just closer to me, but you broke
This would prove it all
Sleep now
You susur, try to talk
Reach out for that hand
Reach out for that hand
And even they don't give any more
Try, try to fall
Even then they don't give
Try, try to fall
You just closer to me at the fall
But you don't want
You're just closer to me
But you don't want, want my hand

I've just got into this band. what album or songs would you diehards recommend?

[justcallmejoe]

@SuperMEanderthal Blue bell knoll, Heaven or Las Vegas, Milk & Kisses, Treasure, Four Calender Cafe.

For me, those are the absolute must haves of the Cocteau Twins.

I love Garlands too, but i don't think it's for everyone.

[Bestfosho]

@justcallmejoe uuuumm! Victorialand.

[justcallmejoe]

@Bestfosho Victorialand is an extreme side of the Cocteau twins.

A different extreme from Garlands for example.

Neither are for everyone.

I'm a right old misanthrope, but this 3 minutes always makes me feel proud to be part of the human race.

[danny97garcia]

I used to go out with a girl named Carolyn. She had fingers.

[strav12]

That there is one fucking amazing voice. I'm not a lyrical kindda guy - but this is just stunning.

[everybodypoops11]

@Atlanticcmsi *highfive*

@slamfortica

Amen brother. I hate it when overwhelming beauty like this forces me to reconsider my misanthropy.

[TalkToTheBody]

Elizabeth has an incredible voice, total vocal control and one in a billion and that's not forgetting the rest of the band who are awesome musical craftsmen. I sometimes wonder why the hell we bother embarassing ourselves by entering the eurovision song contest when we have such a rich musical heritage behind us, with us and in front of us

[abib2013]

Cuando la escuchas, te dan ganas de reir y llorar a la vez. Es como el canto de un pájaro que quiere ser libre.

When you hear it, you want to laugh an cry at the same time. It is like the bird's song in a jail.

[GazzaHun1]

this song is amazing it gives you a good to be alive feeling

[Aidaagnes]

Also...... Give a listen to This Mortal Coil (CT are part of this assemble) if you haven't already.... And Dead Can Dance.....a number of good bands are on the 4ad label

[Aidaagnes]

I first saw CT in Dundee in 85 and again in 93 in Boston.....yep, best band of all time.

I have circa 4G of their material including live stuff and rarities, so if anyone's interested, contact me on Andrew.Kelly@gmail.com

[Atlanticcmsi]

I get an erection every time I hear this song. I have one now.
