Also find it kind of ironic Liz ended up in a relationship with Jeff many years after this

@sprecordings i agree, greatest "cover" of all time. Torn between this or the original as my favourite, either way it is my favourite song ever and will be my funeral song. Not a huge Cocteau Twins fan tbh, I don't find anything in their back catalogue where her voice is as perfect as this, even This Mortal Coil's released version. btw You only see her eyes fully open at 2.51 as the camera fades which is almost my favourite moment in the whole clip.

Brings back memories of the 80's. Those were the days.

@fakenhamman if you can listen to this without weeping then you must be young.

@ShortisCarol Did you join YouTube just to tell me that? Hehe....But I'll be sure to remember :)

@jimaginata yep it starts Bb F Eb Gm (twice) then Bb Ab Gm Bb; Gm Bb F Eb Bb

@woodros I'm really no expert so, you're probably right, but the chords I used just seemed to work OK for me. Cheers for the info :)
-
its Bb F Eb Gm, they will fit with this
-
@jimaginata it starts with Bb
This is a timeless cover. From a musical perspective it purely reflects the power of simplicity, stripping all but a single harmony composed of the perfect voice and underlying melody. Everything in this performance fell into place and did so in a way which seems to engage emotions indescribable in comparison to those typically experienced.

If you can listen to this without getting goosebumps then you have no soul.
