    “In a 2014 interview with The Skinny, Cocteau Twins bassist/guitarist Simon Raymonde said he wrote the song about his father's death. His dad, the arranger Ivor Raymonde, passed away while the band was recording the Heaven Or Las Vegas album. Simon's bandmates, Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie, had recently become parents to a baby girl, and much of the album reflects their joyous mood. This song stands in contrast.”
    Fraser’s voice makes this song sound like a celebration of life. All of the time I improvise by making sure it’s to wait for you is my favorite line ever.

    It’s easy to reach a point of frustration during this pandemic, and I reached that point the other night. I retreated to my room, connected my phone to my Bluetooth speaker and did a random spin of Heaven Or Las Vegas and this track came on first and blew me away. I’ve had this album for years but wasn’t in the right headspace until this song came on. I’ve played it 10x since and simply can’t get enough.

    In day
    And night to come
    And night to come
    Their little hands
    Smooth all things

    Your milk and your passion
    Lead weight for his from his old turn

    On using the stairs I
    How nested to find you

    I really don’t like early Cocteau Twins I mean there is a gem here and there, but it’s more like Souxie and the banshees...A great mark of a band is when they leave the sound of sounding like someone else and come into their own... and let me tell you the Cocteau Twins really hit their stride towards the end....
