This is a masterpiece, made more effective by the fact that most of their songs are indecipherable. And here we are with the most insightful and straightforward stuff I’ve ever heard in a song about relationships
Intimacy is when we're in the same place At the same time Dealing honestly with how we feel, And who we really are That's what grown-ups do That is mature thinking
"I just have to know how to be in the process Of creating things in a better way And it hurts but it's a lie that I can't handle it I still have a world of me-ness to fulfill I still have a life, and it's a rich one even with mourning Even with grief and sadness I still care about this planet I am still connected to nature and to my dreams for myself"
My ex-boyfriend couldn't stand them. He thought she sang like she was yodeling. He didn't like Dolores O'Riordan either. When I told him I liked Siouxsie Sioux, he scoffed that she seemed like someone who didn't go to the toilet. I eventually got him to like her. I mean, this was a guy who listened to They Might Be Giants and Weezer with his friends.
I think back to 1985 or 1986 when I found the Pink Opaque at a record store and bought it because the cover so intrigued me...and I fell in love with the Cocteau Twins and in particular Liz's unearthly voices. That feeling never ever fades..I just appreciate her more and more as the years go by...
Liz Fraser is the best singer in the world. I can imagine her in the 1700's, singing for royalty. One of those people that folks would travel hundreds of miles to see sing.
i miss pretty much everything before 1990 compared to what there is now. i pity the kids these days with the shite they seem happy listening to, they have no idea at all what they have missed
LOVE THIS SONG! and one of the few where liz is singing words and not glossolalia. The best band in the worlld in my opinion and i have been a fan for about 25 years. saw them twice in new orleans and both times was floored that rhey actually sund as good or better live. liz shines in the live versions where she works her voice harder with no tracking. All true artists!
This song is pure beauty, and the lyrics flawless... that's exactly the process of dealing with the loneliness when you realize you don't need anyone else to hold on to but the ones that are already there for you.
Love love love.. her Thanks, Massive Attack Thanks, Hope Sandoval Thanks, Bert Jansch R.I.P. You lead me to again where the waters run deep... Cheers from Minneapolis, Jon
This is so beautiful....so timeless....Frazier is the most expressive , most provacative vocalist i've ever heard....in my humble estimation...amongst modern contemporary vocalists, she has no peer. She makes me feel everytime i hear. Robin Guthrie an utter genius for crafting and orchestrating this sound as well. Then as now , he is a hero for his fearlessness.
This isn't a break up song Is finishing an old relationship that can work Learning the stars and the alignment Of your true soul mate That's all And even if it doesent work out you still have ME
I loved it. Such a beautiful voice makes me believe that there is a paradise somewhere. Maybe sometimes we touched or saw it but only later we were able to realize it. Thanks a lot for posting
well what can i say an absolute masterpiece ,shes singing like an angel thanks for posting it really is wonderfull ,the best band of all time without a shadow of doubt.
Whether because of the word "family" and what that reminds us of, or just her vocal performance, I always hear "internal struggle" in the song's coda Very "I must go on/I can't go on/I go on".
Simply one of the greatest bands ever.. this is sung so angelic that only Robin can do. Their sound is like no other and if there is a heaven Cocteau Twins will be up there singing with the saints.
Sólo tengo que saber cómo estar en el proceso De crear cosas de una mejor manera Y me duele, pero es una mentira que no puede manejar Todavía tengo un mundo de mí para cumplir Todavía tengo una vida, y es muy rica, incluso con el luto Incluso con el dolor y la tristeza Todavía me preocupo por este planeta Sigo conectada a la naturaleza y amis sueños para mí Tengo a mis amigos, mi familia. Me tengo a mi misma Aún me tengo a mí.
this was the first song where she wanted the words to be clear. she felt embarassed about her lyrics so she made them difficult to understand. thr message seems to be " you don't own me!!"
This is a masterpiece, made more effective by the fact that most of their songs are indecipherable. And here we are with the most insightful and straightforward stuff I’ve ever heard in a song about relationships
Intimacy is when we're in the same place
At the same time
Dealing honestly with how we feel,
And who we really are
That's what grown-ups do
That is mature thinking
There is no doubt in my mind that Elizabeth Fraser has, in all of human history, past, present or future, the loveliest voice.
...loveliest voices.
ive never been in a relationship yet reading the lyrics still brought me to tears
As endgames go, this is the bravest song she ever wrote and sung.... heartbreaking.
"I just have to know how to be in the process
Of creating things in a better way
And it hurts but it's a lie that I can't handle it
I still have a world of me-ness to fulfill
I still have a life, and it's a rich one even with mourning
Even with grief and sadness
I still care about this planet
I am still connected to nature and to my dreams for myself"
Thanks, I’m crying. I love her so much.
dont forget simon. hes actually a genius writing and on piano.
How does any human being not love this woman, this band?

Yes.. Same here Jeff!
I’ll bet most fans remember the moment they first experienced Cocteau Twins: mine was in med school, 1988🤩
also why I bought milk n kisses, many moons later
yes was about 20
わたしも同じです。わたしの場合は1987年にTreasureを買ってからずっとです。
she has the most beautiful voice of all time
My God - can't get any better than this. What passion. I tear up every time I hear this. Sad but so beautiful.
Most empowering break-up song ever.
Twinflame song
...and also a (re)connection
Yess life
Death reincarnation
Really tender ballad. No words exist in any spoken language to describe this music properly. Really tender performance.
Liz Fraser is the best singer in the world. I can imagine her in the 1700's, singing for royalty. One of those people that folks would travel hundreds of miles to see sing.
What a stunning masterpiece 🌻
one of my favorite from them, this really touches strings of my soul and I think that Milk and Kisses is underrated from people
Intimacy is when youre in the same place at the same time ♡
cocteautwinned I totally understand now.
cocteautwinned dealing honestly with how you feel and who you really are.
❤
There are no words to describe how beautiful and touching is this song also live. Liz...Cocteau Twins, i miss you so much!
i miss pretty much everything before 1990 compared to what there is now. i pity the kids these days with the shite they seem happy listening to, they have no idea at all what they have missed
this song always makes me cry.
This was my divorce song. :(
me too.
classic Elegant Scottish Fairey Melodies. Of the Highest Order
Terrible that they broke up..they were evolving...loved to witness and hear it. My favorite band, ever.
There was a time, where real artist appear on main stream TV, and many people appreciated them, god old days! thanks for sharing.
LOVE THIS SONG! and one of the few where liz is singing words and not glossolalia. The best band in the worlld in my opinion and i have been a fan for about 25 years. saw them twice in new orleans and both times was floored that rhey actually sund as good or better live. liz shines in the live versions where she works her voice harder with no tracking. All true artists!
I love the way the instruments all fade away to leave only Liz's voice and the beat.
Shannmeister so happy I found you
cocteautwinned And I likewise you. :)

it pains me that we will never experience another band & voice of cocteau twins and elizabeth fraser in lifetimes to come
Most beautiful song ever❤
Devastating and beautiful. Just love this. Cocteau Twins forever
This song is pure beauty, and the lyrics flawless... that's exactly the process of dealing with the loneliness when you realize you don't need anyone else to hold on to but the ones that are already there for you.
One of those timeless bands....... I've adored through the aeons....
what a voice, she lifts my heart way up there. thanks so much for this moment, it means a lot.
i love this band. i saw them in the late 80's, LA. favorite cocteau twins album: Victoria Land, with Treasure a close second.
Wow, what a voice. Gorgeous.
Aaaaaand back once more....
Love love love.. her
Thanks, Massive Attack
Thanks, Hope Sandoval

fess04 Lisa Gerrard is another person who I feel is completely unique in Dead Can Dance
Only 91 likes? Out of 9,777 views? People must have gotten mesmerized and just simply kept hitting replay... Beautiful.
This isn't a break up song
Is finishing an old relationship that can work
Learning the stars and the alignment
Of your true soul mate
That's all
And even if it doesent work out you still have ME
Yes.
Surely it's music for alltime.
this is a beautiful perfomance :')
her voice is magnificent(L)
Heartbreaking
Esta canción es una absoluta belleza. Una obra de arte.
beyond perfect
Pure heaven ... so sensual & heart-breaking 🥰🙏
I loved it. Such a beautiful voice makes me believe that there is a paradise somewhere. Maybe sometimes we touched or saw it but only later we were able to realize it. Thanks a lot for posting

Agin, like Rilkean Heart, one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
It is the masterpeace of what the singing is.

Happy birthday Liz. You’re such an amazing and beautiful person for sharing your art with us. ❤
Of this,I will never tire....

Shivering and crying, and I'm not quietly the kind of guy that cries just like that !
this is the one band that makes me feel like a little girl screaming for the Beatles when i see them.
Она божественна, голос ангела!
Simply one of the greatest bands ever.. this is sung so angelic that only Robin can do. Their sound is like no other and if there is a heaven Cocteau Twins will be up there singing with the saints.
Intimacy is when we're in the same place at the same time, dealing honestly with how we feel, and who we really are...
we were very lucky to have been around for the music part. now its just television.
So happy that happened. We are blessed.
Great Fraser!
God i miss the Cocteau Twins ! 🥹😭
Such a beautiful song.
Beautiful girl with a beautiful voice!
tears on my face :'(
I love CT, love Elizabeth Fraser, love this song. so grateful you uploaded this video! thank you.
simply beautiful
Angelic
The Best Love Song Ever!!
Sólo tengo que saber cómo estar en el proceso
De crear cosas de una mejor manera
Y me duele, pero es una mentira que no puede manejar
Todavía tengo un mundo de mí para cumplir
Todavía tengo una vida, y es muy rica, incluso con el luto
Incluso con el dolor y la tristeza
Todavía me preocupo por este planeta
Sigo conectada a la naturaleza y amis sueños para mí
Tengo a mis amigos, mi familia.
Me tengo a mi misma
Aún me tengo a mí.
ioi

Simply...on a most song in my life
If you still have this VHS it would be amazing if you could reupload in HD. Such an utterly beautiful performance.
let's be gratefull we have it at all. i'm not sure how long these old Cocteau vids will be around
Extraordinária performance. Que saudade
everytime i hear that voice it gives me shivers and i like it!♥
Beauty in it's purest.
This melody is from Suzanne by Leonard Cohen: She brings me tea and oranges, that come all the way from China...
Excellent version
Has a whiff of Charles Aznavour's She in the melody.
@ytcarol I almost forgot myself. She has the most amazing vibrato. My god I wish she would do her solo album.
The Cocteau Twins need to come back for a 4k performance. Then the journey will be complete. X
LIFE !! Thanks Elizabeth
wonderful the best band of all time for me
PERFECT !
Great song great band great times .
so beautiful
Una pieza espectacularrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
i cant help but be in love
Love it 🥰 since is was 17
Peace
What a great tune!
oh my god, thank you so much for uploading this jewel!!!
Just beautiful
this was the first song where she wanted the words to be clear. she felt embarassed about her lyrics so she made them difficult to understand. thr message seems to be "
you don't own me!!"
May be so. After 30 yrs its not ... important ... wish all the best
+Stevan Djukic Er, Amelia can't have listened to Four Calendar Cafe lately
once upon a time... MTV played video-music like this one.... is a urban legend?????? ;) (ah, i love CT)
