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

At first I thought ... At first I thought that glossolalia, when used as lyrics on a song, was something easy to? do. But then I realized it is not so easy when you have to repeat the same sounds live over and over again!
I used to go out ... I used to go out with a girl named Carolyn. She had fingers.?
That there is one ... That there is one f**king amazing voice. I'm not a lyrical kindda guy - but this is? just stunning.

Amen brother. I hate it when overwhelming beauty like this forces me to reconsider? my misanthropy.
Elizabeth has an ... 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
Cuando la escuchas, ... 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.
this song? is ... this song? is amazing it gives you a good to be alive feeling
Also...... Give a ... 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
I first? saw CT in ... 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
I get an erection ... I get an erection every time? I hear this song. I have one now.
Heaven? or las ... Heaven? or las vegas!! Fotzepolitic best song for me!!
I have been ... I have been searching this song for about 12 years but i couldn't know? the title. Last year I heard it casually on the radio and that moment I felt my life was complete.
Aye, they are ... Aye, they are bonkers. But still? nice.
No, she is not ... No, she is not blind?
Is she? blind? Is she? blind?
Though I love? this ... Though I love? this song I still can't give it more points than to the 9 other songs of the album.

@maggsayy Your? dad ... @maggsayy Your? dad has good taste

@SuperMEanderthal ... @SuperMEanderthal Blue Bell Knoll for sure.

Blue Bell Knoll was ... Blue Bell Knoll was an awesome album, love? these guys.
Essential Cocteau ... Essential Cocteau Twins (FYI Eanderthal):
Heaven or Las Vegas
Four Calendar Cafe
Milk and? Kisses
Treasure
Victorialand
Blue Bell Knoll
. . . in that order.
I love it when ... I love it when people try to figure out? the lyrics to Cocteau Twins songs. It's impossible to figure them out because Elizabeth Fraser was a master at singing non-verbal lyrics. It's some of the most beautiful music in the world, but the lyrics are impossible to figure out - and, for me, that is what makes this band stand out from all of the rest.
@justcallmejoe Good ... @justcallmejoe Good call; Totally? agree!
