Some of their older stuff sounds more atmospheric, haunting and dark with more bass or something. I like the far away vocals. I don't know what is said, but maybe that's the point. lol. The song takes you somewhere into the past. Thanks for upload.
The video brings out a possible 'theme' of the song, namely an attempt to put into music what happens in the mind and soul when love strikes, uninvited.
+Mark Vitulano It was that mantra repeated by Elizabeth Fraser over and over when I was a teenager "Heaven On This Very Earth Seems Impossible Not to Share It all" which deeply effected me!
@sweatyballox Ciao Bello! I hope my friend that people aren't offended, but I simply cannot allow this to go unsaid! As a young man in the mid 1980s when I first heard this track, I was so struck by the main "Mantra" that Elizabeth Fraser introduces in this piece "Heaven On This Very Earth.....Seems Impossible Not To Share It all"! Later I would embrace Christ and the "Gospels" and come to realize that it was the "Beatitudes" from Christs' "Sermon On The Mount" that I had Been hearing! Blaine
Found these lyrics: Ruby is brow-beaten You'd feel danger there Ruby is brow-beaten You'd feel danger there However you are When you're split in half Tinderbox of heart Left a shell is all Ruby is brow-beaten You'd feel danger there Not quick with your feet But you ran for the edge So bloody and blunt Your big crystal eyes However you are When you're splitting in half Tinderbox of a heart Left a shell that is all Ruby is brow-beaten You'd feel danger there
They are beaten You'd feel danger there Through the edged are beaten You'd feel danger there How heavy you are on this faded hatch Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all How heavy you are on this faded hatch Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all... Bleed in your fate's ground through the edge It's so bloody and blunt of big crystal eyes How heavy you are; it's fading your hatch Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all...
yeah everybody seems to have their own interpretation...the minds tendency to create a familiar language relationship when it simply cannot understand (same as our tendency to anthropomorphize animals and machines). There are no mysterious lyrics, only singing raw and inventive in it's highest form, as for meaning or lack of, only the singer/writer knows. The day I stopped anal-izing music was the day I began to truly enjoy it
Cocteau twins have always been my little secret dream world...and I'm happy with that...
Gives me chills everytime. It’s like when you’re asleep and you hear a beautiful ghost call to you to come into the woods.
When has a ghost actually woken you up and called you into the woods to know what it feels like?

The song that woke me up from a deep sleep, whilst at a friend’s house. This song will always have a special place in my heart ♥️
the sound of a fairy calling you from the woods
...in the night.
Blows me away every time.
I wish there was more music with atmosphere like this、just so beautiful to listen to。
when I hear this song I feel like I was in a rituall. Amazing band
Best sex of my life happened to this song and album.
Love this comment; magical/inspiring.
Припев просто рвёт душу каждый раз 😢♥️

I see your face on this big screen now Mr.Sweatyballox
For some reason I’m just reminded of blade runner and Akira
Great track.
Great stuff
Found these lyrics:
Ruby is brow-beaten
You'd feel danger there
Ruby is brow-beaten
You'd feel danger there
However you are
When you're split in half
Tinderbox of heart
Left a shell is all
Ruby is brow-beaten
You'd feel danger there
Not quick with your feet
But you ran for the edge
So bloody and blunt
Your big crystal eyes
However you are
When you're splitting in half
Tinderbox of a heart
Left a shell that is all
Ruby is brow-beaten
You'd feel danger there
They are beaten
You'd feel danger there
Through the edged are beaten
You'd feel danger there
How heavy you are on this faded hatch
Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all
How heavy you are on this faded hatch
Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all...
Bleed in your fate's ground through the edge
It's so bloody and blunt of big crystal eyes
How heavy you are; it's fading your hatch
Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all...
Amazing song 👌👌👌. They just don’t make music like this nowadays
The voice of Beauty...
Magnificent
How heavy you are there’s fear inyour eyes
Tinderbox of a heart and the shell is off
gut
Greetings from Russia ❤️

Music (for the heart)

downallyourstreets the good thing is that the meaning in words changes and visceral stiff stays put
