The Cocteau twins are just the ultimate answer to the classic question of “if you could only listen to one band forever who would it be?”

It was snow everywhere suddenly and this song began to play in my car cause she reminded me of what this bands music would look like if it was a person. That trip was the last time I saw her.

She had some pretty epic moments in other projects!! Such a different sound in Teardrop. It's almost more Enya than Cocteau Twins. I love how her vocals on Treasure were the result of not enough time to write lyrics. She uses her voice like an instrument and that is where they achieved God level status. She is otherworldly.

@markbowen9084 3 жыл бұрын

I just noticed that! I've never seen them switch roles. Liz is definitely singing live and despite the deceptive reel-to-reel (which may be playing back the drum machine and synth, but it might also be a prop and the drum and synth are on MID sync) I'm pretty sure Robin and Simon are playing live as well. The guitar is not the same as the original track. Very cool!

@eboethrasher 3 жыл бұрын

That is not the only song they have done it on, and I believe it is based on who wrote what part. If Robin wrote a bass part, he would be the one to play it live, I would imagine. Live footage of another performance sure would help, lol. The live version of Millimillenary has Simon and Robin both playing guitar...

I don't think anyone knows the lyrics, if there even are any coherent ones to begin with. I think it's partially gibberish. At the very least it's for sure not "And we can go" which both the studio recording and this performance prove. _Maybe_ the backing vocal shout says that. But I think it's essentially gibblish. Sigur Ros has since done something similar and there is an apparent influence of Cocteau Twins on them.
