You know how they say if you are scared of spiders touch one or scared of flying then get in plane etc? I haven't been able to listen to this band the past few months because of heartbreak and I am so afraid of the pain in the tears. So here I am listening without collapsing but remembering though. 25 years ago my boyfriend was getting a haircut at his boyfriends salon. They were the music playing and he was impressed that I not only knew of but fucking loved loved loved every note, as he did. A few months later we were living in NYC together at 21 beginning the adventure when this EP was released with "Otherness". We sat in our share high as fuck listening high volume over and over all the time. Neighbors knocking not to complain but to inquire. Arguing about lyrics, getting goose bumps, sharing feelings, singing or trying to, and laughing alot but crying some. I didn't realize until after April 4th last year when He died unexpectedly how much memory every melody held. Leaving this comment is part of therapy now, I guess, because so many of these songs can be pretty overwhelming but I think need them. Appreciate who you love now and love more. Realize the soundtrack to your life could someday be all there is left.
In the liner notes to “Milk & Kisses,” Elizabeth Fraser partially dedicates the album to her friend Jeff Buckley. “Love and a thousandfold rose to Buckley, my Rilkean-hearted friend.", she says. Jeff Buckley drowned during a spontaneous evening swim in the Mississippi River so, it's a song about loss. I hope the song, although pretty overwhelming now, will got you through this difficult situation and ease your pain in the long run. May you rememeber your own Rilkean-hearted friend with love and only love.
Thank you for sharing this ... i have SOOOO many Memories all wrapped around Cocteau Twins too... i was just thinking about all of them today.. and came to listen again.. and found your story... i think there should be a mini-Vid-e-booklet of stories connected to C-twins music... i bet there are many.. i have many... thank you.. your words Touched me.
I hope you're doing well Michael. My boyfriend passed away five years ago. He never introduced me to this amazing band, but he did introduce me to other great bands like this. I wish me and him couldve shared a coffee and had a smoke to this song. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Love more....Thanks for sharing, michael. I hope you are feeling better and that you appreciate every moment you have with those you love. I can't imagine losing someone that close to me. Appreciate the time you had together.
It's so beautiful to hear her voice clear in the front without all the effects. While I love the soft reverb and delay on her vocals in most of their albums, it's always nice to hear it so cleanly like this.
''I still care about this planet I am still connected to nature and to my dreams for myself I have my friends, my family I have myself I still have me'' ...
"well i'm still a junkie for it... it takes me out of my aloneness, but this relationship, cannot sustain itself" at this stage of my life, this line just feels as true as an arrow... straight to the fucking heart.
I don't agree, it's not sad, it's soft, maybe melancholic, romantic, introspective, a different approach, a different mood, perspective, treatment of the tune. IMHO. I appreciate much those 4 alternative versions.
Cocteau Twins produced a body of work that IMHO developed and improved as each release was issued - Elizabeth's voice is there for you and the rest of us to hear forever till we pass. Many brilliant voices were never able to produce the body of work that she was able to - and we must be grateful for the magic she, Guthrie and Raymonde chose to bless us with.
Shit, you gotta not scare me like that! I had to look her up just to make sure she was still alive. So on that last one, gee she sounded a lot like Kate Bush.
@@andreaneilcmc, your words ring true, but it saddens me deeply that a talent this remarkable would choose to remove their gift from a world that so desperately needs it.
Rilkean heart I looked for you To give me transcendent experiences To transport me out of self and aloneness And alienation into a sense of One-ness and connection ecstatic and magical I became a junkie for it I came looking for the next high And I'm sorry I've been putting the search on the wrong place I understand that you're confused Feeling overwhelmed Well that's a feeling state from then The reality, with cleaning up my emotion of life And I'm getting in touch with myself I'm beginning to ground myself In my own sense of being as an entity One entity on the planet Becoming truly self-reliant and become connected With something beyond me That is where I have to go I'm so sorry I've been putting the search on the wrong place You're lost and don't know what to do But that's not all of you That's your reality today And that is all okay I understand that you're confused, Feeling overwhelmed Well that's a feeling state from then The reality You're lost and don't know what to do But it's not all of you That's the reality today And now it's all okay I understand that you're confused, Feeling overwhelmed Well that's a feeling state from then The reality Rilkean heart...
I've just discovered their music but have resisted the last EP and album because I'm busy delving into what I assumed was their 'peak period' but this is sublime...
Anybody who thinks her voice can't be as good as it sounds because it's digitally enhanced needs only to listen to this stripped down recording to see through that myth.
Or see her live. We were so nervous the first time seeing them at Massey Hall in Toronto, the whole conversation at the bar across the street before the concert was is she real or Memorex (80's after all). A huge sigh of relief from the first song: real. Though the drummer was a tape machine, which made for some amusing moments between songs. Seen her three times with CT and once (last concert before COVID) with Massive Attack. Though the one CT concert during her 'barking dolphin' phase when she was dating Jeff Buckley was a bit weird, she brings always kills it.
@@dougross8790 I saw the Cocteau Twins live twice, in 1991 and 1994. I never got to see Liz live doing anything else, though. She is still my favorite singer ever after all these years.
I used to be like that but after a few listens of Heaven and Las Vegas and their later albums in the right mood and they become truly magical just like Treasure and Blue Bell Knoll are
I hated this when it came out. CT without their distinctive wall of sound just didnt sound right. Sounds better to me now though not as good as the original versions, especially Pink Orange Red.

''I still care about this planet
I am still connected to nature and to my dreams for myself
I have my friends, my family
I have myself
I still have me''
...
but i still don't have you, love.. so i feel empty
Yes. Your self awareness.
These songs are hiding on Spotify in the Lullabies To Violaine Vol.2 compilation. The last 4 on disc 1
I have just discovered my new favorite band.
ditto AF
@@persononinternet2 you guys rock
Better late than never 🥰🤗
I said that very thing in the early 80's. It's a long sweet trip.
Great!!!Happy birthday to you!.Bon voyage !!
"well i'm still a junkie for it... it takes me out of my aloneness, but this relationship, cannot sustain itself" at this stage of my life, this line just feels as true as an arrow... straight to the fucking heart.
Rilkean heart is so pure... my heart is full of love..
The sadness in these 4 tracks is palpable - it feels like they all know the end is nigh!!
I don't agree, it's not sad, it's soft, maybe melancholic, romantic, introspective, a different approach, a different mood, perspective, treatment of the tune. IMHO. I appreciate much those 4 alternative versions.
The world is a much sadder place without Elizabth Fraser's voice.

@@ajhoncantara she's got an EP coming out June 18th!
@@sampedro9316 Seriously?!?
Pink Orange Red ... sublime
i discovered them because i really apreciate the cranberries. my father told me about this band and that dolores liked it too. and I'm loving it
Rilkean heart I looked for you
To give me transcendent experiences
To transport me out of self and aloneness
And alienation into a sense of
One-ness and connection ecstatic and magical
I became a junkie for it
I came looking for the next high
And I'm sorry
I've been putting the search on the wrong place
I understand that you're confused
Feeling overwhelmed
Well that's a feeling state from then
The reality, with cleaning up my emotion of life
And I'm getting in touch with myself
I'm beginning to ground myself
In my own sense of being as an entity
One entity on the planet
Becoming truly self-reliant and become connected
With something beyond me
That is where I have to go
I'm so sorry
I've been putting the search on the wrong place
You're lost and don't know what to do
But that's not all of you
That's your reality today
And that is all okay
I understand that you're confused,
Feeling overwhelmed
Well that's a feeling state from then
The reality
You're lost and don't know what to do
But it's not all of you
That's the reality today
And now it's all okay
I understand that you're confused,
Feeling overwhelmed
Well that's a feeling state from then
The reality
Rilkean heart...
The beauty of this EP makes my eyes wet. All these magnificient songs are even more beautiful "naked". Cocteau twins at its best.
IMHO best ep. After Echoes & Dynamine
I've just discovered their music but have resisted the last EP and album because I'm busy delving into what I assumed was their 'peak period' but this is sublime...
This is yet one more reason why UA-cam is great. This is amazing music I may have missed without it being here to enjoy. Beautiful tracks! 😎👍
same! I've discovered a lot of beautiful music via youtube, as well as a lot of nice people!
wow......... why haven't I heard these versions before !!?
FOR FURE WHEN I BECOME A MOTHER IM GONNA MAKE MY BABY LISTEN TO THIS FOR SUREEEE
They are so nice to play for naptime both my babies loved it 🥰
I never knew about this beautiful thing; Cocteau Twins music. Thank you, internet, a lovely gift.
breaks my heart
Quel Bonheur, quelle Joie de l'écouter ....

Sublimes canciones para cubrir el llanto y el dolor con gran amor ❤ Gracias! Elizabeth Fraser
Siempre vivirás en tus canciones.
Tão lindo, veio no momento certo 😊💓🙏
me resulta difícil y a la vez tan emocionante escucharlos. es arduo toparse con los sentimientos más puros.
I adore her!!
This version of Half Gifts just cuts through and should have been on the album.
Love it
pink orange red. gorgeous
"A mood of dust" is quite possibly the saddest lyric ever written!
No auto-tune required, kiddies.
Grateful
Amazing versions! A pity it's not in Spotify...
It is! They’re on the Lullabies To Violaine Vol.2 compilation
Lo mejor de cocteau twins es la único que me ayudado en mi adolescencia y ahora que tengo 40 años a sobrevivir con el dolor de la muerte de mi hijo
no te conozco, pero te mando un abrazo grande fabiola ❤︎
Blackthght gracias una abrazo
Un día te reencontrarás con tu hijo y será hermoso.
A mí también me ha ayudado con la muerte de mi papá y de mi hermano, te mando un abrazo grandísimo
La música abraza. No dejes nunca de escuchar. Que las melodías le den paz a tu corazón.
As I like to say, "Celine who? Beyoncé who?" Etc. Etc. Etc.
I love you
❤❤❤❤❤
Calme et langoureux ,ouaiiiîis
I can't be much arsed wi' their stuff after Blue Bell Knoll, but that's an incredible version of Pink Orange Red !
man you crazy, Four Calander Cafe has many amazing and sad songs on them, but to each his own!
I used to be like that but after a few listens of Heaven and Las Vegas and their later albums in the right mood and they become truly magical just like Treasure and Blue Bell Knoll are
Thanks! It's a great album to listen e make love. Lov' 4 all!
