Blue Bell Knoll is an album forged of genius. I adore it.

I believe this is one of only a handful of songs to ever exist that should never end

I can't control my tears - I just lost my Mom at 97 years old. I've never really liked people posting things like "they must play this song at my funeral." This song is a bit more playful and shiny and upbeat, but it's wistful, too, and that evokes the sadness in me. So..... I'm going to say it, flat-out: "Please play this song at my funeral!"

There isn't another band that even comes close to the Cocteau Twins. This is their best track in my opinion.

This is what Heaven sounds like. Simply beautiful. They may not be together any more but they have left a legacy of music that can heal all pain and suffering

Actually. This song will always be one of the most beautiful things in the world. Just beautiful.

I think the people from this time would be amazed by the Cocteau Twins

This makes me cry and laugh simultaneously.

Few songs can recall the exquisite emotions of being young, the being not thinking, the hope not fear, the joy not pain. Few songs do, and in my life this has been the greatest.

For me, right now, this song is one of the most beautiful things in the world.

I don’t know the lyrics nor do I want to find out what she’s singing about, but it’s still somehow one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Magic of the Cocteau Twins❤️

This song is simply magesterial.

Beautiful beyond words.

I love the Cocteau Twins. Always have. So original, creative and timeless. Their music takes me to a place no other band can.

Music to elevate your soul. Simply magnificent.

one of my all time fave songs of theirs

Most wonderful singers were created on earth. Elizabeth Fraser was made in heaven.

Blue Bell Knoll was such a special gift. I was at the right place at the right time!!!!

This song by the Cocteau Twins is a gift; I love how the spirit of the video compliments the mood of the music so exquisitely.

If Heaven had a band it would be Cocteau Twins. ❤

Fantastic song. Amazing video

This song is pure magic💛

Every time I listened this, it returned me to my childhood:summer and snow days were like a magic and always thinks it will be forever:young alive happy healthy parents and you in a circle of a huge love&happiness of them...Always cryings to listened this...Greetings to all CT fans from Russia!!!

Favorite song from this, my favorite album by CT, the Blue Bell Knoll.

Her voice is a dream I need to float upon forever💜

❤️❤️❤️❤️beautiful

The best music video ever.

Amazing song: totally unique, ethereal, melodic content of the heavens, and an absolutely stunning vocal performance that is perhaps Liz's best. Par excellence x10

When I listen to this the memory of very ancient worlds arises Worlds where Evil did not yet exist

Best voice ever! Mon cœur fait boum boum! Toucher le sublime, l'absolu! Pure joy!

I saw them in Chicago in 1989. I didn't bother to find out much about the group - I assumed "twins" there must have been 2 woman singers. Wow was I surprised when Elizabeth Fraser sang by herself. And then watching 4 guitarists, 1 bass, a drummer and keyboardist play what they did, I was transported to another time, another dimension. I floated home that winter night oblivious to the cold and wind. I was speechless for a few days afterwords. Never saw anything like it then or ever since.

After hundreds of listens I swear I still get goosebumps.

the person who made this video is a genius

When I listen to this song...I melt into BLISS,so beautiful is the sound of the Cocteau twins

If I had to pick my favourite Cocteau twins song a very hard decision seeing as they have many brilliant songs I'd have to say this would be no.1

30 years later, I still have the same goosebumps and emotions, although it is sadly a tad more depressing thinking of my early years and mistakes made.

Worth some tears!

I always loved this song. It is one of the Cocteau Twins' best. This is wonderful film footage also, especially the 1893 White City.

This could be the official video of this wonderful song. Pretty images and an amazing work! Congratulations.

This song for me evokes the rapture of falling in love.

How is it that this song brings me to tears on every listen since it was released?

Let’s give it up for the nostalgic video!! Wow!! What a life folks lived so long ago!! Amazingly, it really wasn’t that long ago😳!

This is so beautiful, ineffable.

Closest sound of heaven on this plane. Yes😇.

Why did I EVER stop listening to Cocteau Twins???

Probably my favorite song!

The sound of love

I chose K O R F B as my funeral music 30+ years ago because of it's sensation as a uplifting rising spiral of movement. I was once told the first couple lines of lyric which I have deliberately forgotten. I don't need verbal meaning it's an emotional meaning that I connect with. This song has added positive quality to my life and offers hope drawn from beauty. I am thankful that I can freely access it. Thank you C T

Literally gives me goosebumps

Love this Pop, avant-gardism. The electronic, guitar-based effects that accompany Frazer's voice in the chorus are superb and very original. You can also detect the use of a "Flanger", that works superbly. Frazer's vocal melodies are ethereal and moving. Indeed, this is a painting in both words and sound. Beautiful and quizzical in equal measure....

This song has a beautiful nostalgic feeling... Even though I didn't know them when I was a kid.. I feel like back to my carefree childhood, it has to be a sunny warm afternoon, playing around in the grass chasing butterflies and dragonflies.. And I knew when I go back home, everything is gonna be alright..

This evokes sadness in me, but in a beautiful way (?)

I have been a fan since 92, I love all music but this is , hands down, most original and less duplicated... no one can the talent of the musicians and the producers out way any fakes

Such a great video. It is amazing in depicting elusive state of the happiness of those people from the past

When I was in my early teens I used to *love* singing along and harmonizing with Elizabeth's weird melodies. Then I got older and my voice dropped an octave and a half. I went from Michael Jackson to Johnny Cash within a year. These days I can only whistle the melody lines. (But now I sometimes sing along with Simon's brilliant bass-lines instead...)

On this montage of films, Papinta, The Flame Dancer, Carolyn Hipple Holpin, who was the most famous film dancer and the first to be filmed by the Lumiere Brothers in Paris, then the film colorized, Frame by Frame, begins on this film on about the 2:14 time. Papinta is the performer that suspended large amounts of silk fabrics to form the shapes of flowers of other forms of nature. Papinta. The Flame Dancer.

Nostalgic and magical for starters. Love this song, it's so original❤

A spiritual bliss for me

A brilliant tune...top ten.......

The band of the bands from my younger days.. 56 now, but I have them on my airpods 😉

Masterpiece!

Sometimes there is a beautiful piece of art and music that coincide...well, this is it

This should have been released as a single.

peace and love that ' s what i feel when i listen this musical work. i love cocteau twins

I was lucky enough to see them four times

Elizabeth the best .❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Im standing here I said love you listen May love get here when you answer I thought he'd known loving before He's so mean to her If only had he hold on He'd be along sided with you so guarded (He didn't offer you heaven he offered you love He holded me out x2) Ive been here here with more than he asked from her And Ive got What you needed for Your heart He gave me love he hit me he loved you You know He didn't offer you heaven he offered you love - etcetc -ad nauseam! Bless you Miss Elizabeth because I loved that latin phrase too from the moment I read it & it was the first I learned (not at school just well y"know by reading much stuff)

Classic tune ❤️ classic video

i love this video, haha, i find joy in watching people enjoying life :D

voice. of. god.

Music perfect in the rythm, this back vocal step a step in 0:52 , 0:53 (oh oh oh oh -chorus ) and more sequences of track music, this make a perfection this band with presence of amazing voice of Liz Fraser, never more other band

The vid is reminiscent of the wonderful creations put together by Filmfinders (the researcher/archivists of yore) for the Old Grey Whistle Test. Many thanks! You've made a 'young' man feel very 'old'.

I was introduced to this Glorious band The Cocteau Twins in 1986 while at a Record Store in the Mall visiting this Girl Named Melanie whom I had a terrible crush on and ironically looked just like Kate Bush.well we were talking about Amazing female Singers, then she put this Vinyl on the turntable Called this Mortal Coil which I had never heard before, then there was Song that Really grabbed me then I said Melanie what is that song called, she replied do you like it? Oh I gotta buy this I said. She Said that is Song To the Siren.Whos that Voice? She said that's Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins. And then from that day I was a permanent fan of them ever since then.There is Nothing on the planet that Creates Gems of Music like they do. Her voice is Mesmerizing! They are the perfect Anthem to which it stands. Beautiful, Magical, It's the perfect lullaby that evokes so many emotions and no matter where you are on the planet, you will always remember them when you hear it.its branded into my soul Forever like Melanie, whom I will definitely Never ever forget because She brought them to me and I am forever greatful for that day in 1986.

Love..Love...Did I say...love!!!!

Blue Bell Knoll: Used to wear that LP out on my radio show on kusf. great memories.

Beautiful. Love.

Great band , great work salutes for Chile comrade !

Hey Mel Angcaya thanks for introducing to this wonderful music.norfolk va. 1989 usnavy.Hey bartender I'll take another.....

I'm standing here I said 'Love, you'd listen, uh hunh?' May love get here when you answer I thought he'd known loving before He's so mean to her If only had he held on He'd be along side with you so guarded He didn't love me back He holded me out He didn't love me back He didn't love me back I've been here Here with more than he asked from her And I have got what you needed for your heart He gave me love He hit me He loved you, you know He didn't love me back He holded me out He didn't love me back He didn't love me back

Cocteau e sua melodia que remete à uma atmosfera lúdica e a voz de Liz nos deixa flutuando num espaço tempo inexistente. Viajo mesmo

Wonderful visual montage! Bravo!

En mi humilde opinión, la voz más dulce que ha tenido el rock.

Guessing that everyone in the video has passed? Thanks for the visual moment you left us!!

GOT TO BE UP THERE AS ONE OF THEIR FINEST PRODUCTON A1

First heard this on an episode of Baywatch. The song was brand new at the time 92ish

Liz gives me life

Nesse tempo não tinha internet e nem celular... impressionada como eles se divertiam

Masterpiece.... It's all!

Great video! I always felt the Cocteau Twins music has a timelessness to it. 2:53 I suspect a lot of girls danced to this song like this in their bedrooms.

They should play this song to celebrate my past life 😇🥰

I first heard this song a trip to Ghana I took in college. It will always remind me of the mandarin and pink saturated sunsets. I had never felt so welcomed to a foreign country before. That is a part of the world I never knew I’d make it to. I was thinking about someone back home for the entirety of that trip, hoping they’d still be there when i got back.

For those who don’t know the music of the Cocteau Twins - catch up! we’ll wait and welcome you

stupendo video, i miei complimenti :-)

It is quite a beautiful song, and this fact cannot be denied. My heart just aches for it.

I read an article claiming Liz Frazer was possessed by an ancient and very powerful, Sumerian GODDESS known as Inanna, Ishtar, Aphrodite, Venus and more. A goddess of sex, war and passion. It could explain the unmatched quality of their work. So good it's frightening.

What is more difficult? Translating the lyrics or classifying a genre for this masterpiece???

here i am....with more than you asked me for...well ive got what you need...for your ???...heart!

Thank you lizabith

Miss you, Dave 🍀
