Cocteau Twins ~ Heaven Or Las Vegas ✨(4AD 1990) HQ Audio

[mar]

Strong contender for the greatest song of all time

[redbird]

There are barely any songs that can actually make me cry tears of joy. This is an exception.

[andregurov]

If this doesn't play 24/7 at the Las Vegas International Airport I don't know what the point is life is anymore.

[soniaseguz]

Imagine listening to this on the radio (quite some years ago), while still learning English, and trying to decode some words to find this song. But I eventually did it! and discovered the pure magic of Cocteau Twins.

[frankiesaenz]

Liz is impossible to decipher but whatever it is she's saying is sung with so much joy and love that it's hard not to be moved by it. Many tears of joy due to how beautiful it all is had over cocteau twins tunes.

My sister passed away a week and a half ago, and this group was one of her favorites towards the end. I have vague memories when we’d be driving and I’d hear this song come on. She (and y’all are probably sick of this joke) would call them the cock twins but loved their stuff. It’s surreal that all of that has been relegated to memories.

Idk who needs to hear this but please don’t take anyone you care in your life for granted. As terrifying as it is to accept you never know when things can be taken away.

Miss you gwen.

I met Elizabeth once and spoke with her at length, before even realizing who she was. Such a beautiful and genuine person.

Who'll ever win?
Gee, you're just so ephemeral
Go back for new
For new in vain, it failed

Singing on the famous street
I want to love me
Am I just in heaven or Las Vegas
It's so much more brighter than the sun is to me

He's a hustler
It's a role, he'll never make a suit
Hang on to this
So stay and spin and fail and fail
Who'll ever win?
Gee, you're just so ephemeral
Go back for new
For new in vain, it failed

Singing on the famous street
I want to love me
Am I just in heaven or Las Vegas
It's so much more brighter than the sun is to me
The chill must itch in my soul
That's like any old playing card
It must be why I'm thinking of Las Vegas
It's why it's more brighter than the sun is to me

Furthermore, let's blast it off
I'm dizzy so I go, another bit it off
Come fantasy, for a carnival
I'm empty before our wedding

Singing on the famous street
I want to love me
Am I just in heaven or Las Vegas
It's so much more brighter than the sun is to me
The chill must itch in my soul
That's like any old playing card
It must be why I'm thinking of Las Vegas
It's why it's more brighter than the sun is to me

Maybe there, while you was rail
I'll go in and seize your heart and be personal
I suspect I'm singing to you a tune
And still you find the beat and sing it to you soon

I saw them in concert back in 1994. It was MIND BLOWING.

[victorperez]

This song took my youth to another level. So ethereal, so full of dreamy layers, so deep and soul touching...
I'm almost 56 and I steel feel the same vibes as the first time I listened to it back in the 90's.
Thanks for sharing, greetings from Argentina

The bridges on this are quite possibly two of the most beautiful things I’ve heard

[bridietulloch]

This album has been in my playlist from 16 years old and will be on my playlist forever ❤

[gregkilminster]

I could listen to that key change at about 2.28 every day for the rest of my life and still never tire of it.

[TheStepmonkey]

This song makes me imagine a night drive around the city in the 80's💗

[IronDad-mlwq]

This right here is my college years. That opening riff is all it takes to make me sigh deeply and remember a simpler time. So beautiful.

[ericchan]

It’s songs like this that makes one love an otherwise harsh and grey place like Britain in winter

[silverheadonyx]

Liz Fraser is one of my goddesses! Saw them live twice in 1994 and 96. Pure bliss *

[morgan]

words can't explain how much I love this band

[lwrise_jeans]

I'm listening to this with tears in my eyes just the intro made me rumble from head to toe that makes me feel hope in my being after all this dark time I've been going through

[curly_wyn]

The best album of 1990. Period. And, one of the greatest ever made. Masterpiece, perfect 10/10, 5 stars! 🖤❤️💜🧡💛
