Cocteau twins have stopped me from suicide... they are my spiritual angels.

Liz Fraser's voice is so grounding and cathartic. One of the best bands to ever exist. I swear🖤

[sonial]

When you have one of the best voices ever, and you make her go playback

[Runner]

It’s 2023 and this music is still mesmerizing.

[talkingmudcrab]

You've never ever been as high as Robin Guthrie.

[headtrip]

37 years on and it remains as mesmerizing as the first time my ears heard the Cocteau Twins.
Wonderful & Timeless.

I first overheard this whilst staying at a friend’s in Bradford in 1984. Hungover in the morning and heard from somewhere else in the house, I thought This is the music I’ve been waiting for all my life. And so it’s turned out to be. When all of us listening to this are dead, CT music will carry on and still have relevance. It’s pretty special.

Elizabeth Fraser is a national treasure

[spensert]

Probably the clearest closeup of ELizabeth singing out there. Wow!

[terebi]

I can't help but love her "beat myself with my fists" dance style... that's the real folk blues right there

[jessicamyers]

Everything about their music and artistry is just so captivating! So so lucky to have found them, definitely my new favorite band.

[Northseacrashes]

I thought I had seen every TV performance they had ever done, so this is a real treat! It's a shame they're miming, and Liz has decided she's not gonna mime every single part of the song, but it's so wonderful to see. They will always be my favourite band, no other has come close.

[kumadog]

I can replay this song forever, it feels so warm her voice is so mesmerizing

[Tommy-grez]

The good ole days. Hard to believe it's been 35 years. Still sounds amazing. Always will..

[theimplicitorderyoutube]

I love her restrained anger.... you can just FEEL IT in this "performance'.

[GizmoBeach]

While I was graduating H.S. w/ teens in thrall to Thriller, Quiet Riot, and Van Halen (in the US) *this* band in particular was reinventing paradise’s soundtrack. I never looked back.

[lupodelupis]

This is my favourite song on the masterpiece that is still "Head Over Heels".

[danielsantana]

i was 16 ( now 39) working at applebees of all places and one of my old coworker got me into this band he knew i was punk emo kid that loved the smiths and knew i would like this he was wrong i love it

[diggerthegroundhog]

I don't know what made my heart melt faster, Liz's eyes or her voice.

[worldprojector]

Liz and Robin are to me the epitome of artistic genius. Grateful to appreciate them in this life.
