That's delightful. Very rare for a Cocteau Twins cover to work, C.Duncan did a good one a couple of years ago too. Hannah Peel, I like your style. P.s. I've loved the Cocteaus for 32 years so overrule the haters.
Too know the Cocteaux' is to love them, even more .....!!!! (Thanks K.K.) After 40+ years of super-fandom, I've been extremely fortunate to own the Cocteau Twins movie script, I edited for the bands close friend Leesa Beals (a.k.a. mmmender), who had heard every detail of their most inner thoughts and experiences, then wrote them down. Leesa was responsible for making the Cocteaux' first website, organized the yearly "CocteauFest", created their first "Cocteau Twins Forum" where the band members would show-up and speak, and she even acted as their impromptu secretary. Elizabeth had spoken about the abuse she suffered from, as a child, then spoke of the "real reasons' " for Elizabeth's singing was the result of a psychological trauma, something later she explained in a magazine article after the Four Calendar Café album was released. She calls it her "descriptive disorder", but basically she has given the entire story hidden in plain sight, if you can understand the lyrics. I've listened to them for so long, that I can hear Elizabeth's vocals as clearly as your all reading this, but it took a while. Leesa was a wonderful person, whom we lost due to cancer. The members of original "Cocteau Forum" decided to decipher all the lyrics of the Cocteau Twins songs, but this was back in the early 90's when the internet was still figuring itself out, but all 37 forum members listened and wrote out the lyrics through email. We all had jobs and a life to live, so it took us years to build and assemble each line of text, but people always think it would have been easier to simply ask Elizabeth herself for the lyrics; however, to do so was a big, big "No-No" since Elizabeth has never revealed her lyrics, preferring everyone to use their own lyrics. For herself to reveal the lyrics, was to expose herself in an intimate way, even more than any biography could do, and for Elizabeth she arranged her lyrics to express her personal catharsis. Singing her thoughts gave herself the sense of relief from pent-up frustration and anxiety. Robin and Simon both admit they still have their own personal take on the wording of different songs, but I'm not immune to this affect either. I may know the real lyrics, but I too have my own wording as well. Just for all the hater's out there, we decided to take the real lyrics and vowed to never release them out to the public, because we worked extremely hard and the public only wants instant gratification. The Cocteau Twins are a puzzle-box, as well as a music-box enshrouded with veils of mystic and secrets untold. Elizabeth definitely does go through the all the uploads, remakes, mixes, and tribute videos as a little peek into "ourselves". She likes to read the comments, so please refrain from the temptation to insult other people with snye, sarcastic, and sardonic remarks. Real Cocteau Twins fans don't try to hurt each other, plus it upsets Elizabeth. The truth behind "Sugar Hiccup" is Elizabeth was taking care of a friends baby for the day, so this was a day of celebration having a trip to the park and buy a balloon and tied to the babys wrist, but a day to discover the mysteries of these moments. Elizabeth notices all the little things we ordinarily dismiss, like when a baby first begins to eat solid food, it's almost always Cheerios on the high-chair top. They also have poor balance, so the they'll "tumble" and "fall", but their breath is still so new and sweet. People have no idea that this little ballad wasn't initially for Lucy Bell Guthrie Fraser, but this song definitely became "the song" for her to sing to Lucy, almost five years later, after "Sugar Hiccup(s)" initial release. This song became that motherly seed, planted deeply within her soul and, if, a woman who can create songs about a spider's-web, with "Pearly Dewdrops Drop" also detailing the simmering colors in those same dewdrops exploding a universal explosion in the "Spangled Maker" ― Then writing a lullaby is nothing, but pure elation's bliss. Hannah Peel has recreated "Sugar Hiccup" and I don't mind it, as long as people somehow transform the music, with their own spin. Peel accomplishes this beautifully, and she gives an even more delicate and more fragile distinction to "Sugar Hiccup" than what was originally delivered by Elizabeth. It's been a while since Robin released another Cocteau Twins tribute album, but I've submitted a much cleaner version of this song to Simon (linked below, if "GTG5570" doesn't mind it....?). When other's attempt to copy Elizabeth Fraser - Verbatim - Then that's not a tribute; but rather, a very poor copy and nobody has, or, ever will accomplish that feat. Peel's version offers the listener a particular music-box charm, people normally associate with “Sugar Hiccup”, even if, the original doesn't feature that particular stylistic measure ― It's perfectly set-up for this particular waxing. Adding the bass-cello and string accompaniment's is a brilliant idea and I've heard live symphonic versions of Cocteau Twins songs and they translate with absolute beauty. Watching Hannah I'm curious about the punch-card instrument used to achieve the music-box effect. As always is the case with Cocteau Twins fan's, there remains a contention over the lyrics themselves. While Hannah addresses this headline issue with gusto and a clear decision between a phrasing “Sugar Hiccup on Cheerio's” and her friends interpretation of “Sugar Hiccup on She Reels”: I can confidently assure Hannah and others, they are both indeed correct, however there is absolutely no sexual connotation involved. People need to remember that Elizabeth Fraser views 'words', vastly different than the rest of the population. Too Elizabeth, a 'words' power is not in the literal definition themselves, but in her ability to perform vocal origami, which is unparalleled and under many circumstances she's agonized over the correct usage and pronunciation; primarily, due to her ability to add compound meaning. It is annoying there is so much background noise, which is why I'm not big on live performances by anyone, because Hyperacusis is problem I must to live with, but I do hear everything. Aside from my own practice, I'll do music reviews and sometimes guide or give advice to Audio Engineers who might have difficulty in isolating sound issues on recordings. Please, don't undersell this song Hannah's accomplished here, because it takes real guts to sing infront of people, muchless take other people's unnecessarily hurtful jabs and snye remarks. If people don't like a particular TV channel, do you insult and throw rocks at your TV - Or - Do you simply switch the channel .....??? Because of Leesa Beals passing, Elizabeth withdrew her permissions to create a movie. She had implicit trust in Leesa to honor and develop the storyline without creating debate or misleading people into believing everything in their career was about clouds and butterflies, which was very far from the truth. I offered to give back the edited script, but Robin said "Just keep it, but never reveal it to the public" and I'd never do anything to hurt or upset any of the members to my favorite band. They've all been apart of my life and Elizabeth's difficulty with Psychogenic Dysphonia, had caused myself to study Psychology and eventually become a Physician in Psychiatric Medicine. I've dedicated my life to helping "at-risk" and potentially "suicidal" teens, using a form of music therapy. I've been offered thousands for some of the rarest Cocteau Twins memorabilia, but it's not for sale and the mentioned movie script is locked away in a bank vault; however, a I am allowed to give out some little stories and anecdotal testaments for the curious fan, regarding the origins of particular songs that are spread out all over TH-cam. How Elizabeth thinks is a mystery unto itself, but it's the reason why Kan Mikami declared her voice as, "The Voice of God". We are all the voice of God, but all to often we abuse our power. I'm very glad, if, you have read this two page read, but if you did, then many congratulations' ― Your a true blue Cocteau Twins fan ......!!!! A huge thank you to "GTG5570" for hosting this live performance on TH-cam, it's very inviting and always a pleasure to hear other musicians' create and develop new music, instead of simply trying to copying the original. As promised a link to the clean version of "Sugar Hiccup" th-cam.com/video/VNa7myKtxsw/w-d-xo.html
Wow... I was so prepared to absolutely detest this before I'd even heard it... but it was utterly enchanting, performed by artists who obviously love the original as much as anyone, and brave enough to do their own version. I absolutely loved it! I can't imagine what it took to punch all those holes in the paper strip! And you can actually sing! Thank you for doing this! That's a 24 carat, weapons grade 'Like' from a lifelong Cocteaus fan! BTW... for the handful of small minded dislikers... go away. You obviously haven't understood this, or the Cocteau Twins, and therefore your opinion is worthless and invalid.
Cocteau Twins fanatics are notoriously difficult to please; but, after 40+ years of superfandom, I've witnessed it all and from almost every perspective. First of all, Elizabeth is all too often honored by the different tributes other musicians make, but she definitely does review these video's and "Sugar Hiccup" is definitely one of her favorite songs, that she wrote for some very special reasons. Nevertheless, the Cocteau Twins have an audience that doesn't appreciate to give, muchless enjoy snye sarcastic comments and retorts. Elizabeth is a very sensitive person, who respects everyone's opinion. It's bad behavior, but just remember that Elizabeth does read these comments, so don't say anything you'd actually regret to say in front of herself. Thanks
hi ma'am. can i request a song for a sick friend. she has cancer. she loves cocteau twins' bluebeard. can you sing it for her. thank you so much. keep inspiring.
Really didn't like this. The guitars have virtually disappeared and the singing lacks potency. The original is ethereal and subtley visceral. This is a lullaby, of sorts... Too soporific...
@@robhaunui3343 Aye my comment was 3 years ago. I have since heard maybe 3 -5 artists do versions that I thought were somewhere between not too bad and quite good. Ashen are definitely up there as is "When Mamma was Moth" by trance to the sun and I quite like this too: th-cam.com/video/YtBXZXenLvw/w-d-xo.html
As a Cocteau Twins fan of nearly 40 years, all I can say is this. Ethereally stunning. Thank you.
if i ever have a child this will definitely be his/her lullaby song. This group totally nailed the song in their own way, it's beatiful!
I had read that this was a lullaby Liz wrote for her baby so Hannah definitely understood the song.
I'm 51 years old. Listened to them when everyone else was listening to mainstream pop. Beautiful well done.💗
This song is mainstream pop, this one and From the flagstones, had they been on Polydor like Siouxsie, these would have been top 20 hits.
Very nice and minimalistic. Liz, Robin and Simon must have certainly been glad and happy for this.
Hannah, you have understood this song and re-presented it beautifully!
It's a perfect melodic Cocteau Songs... Great voice... beautiful instrumental. Thank you!
That's delightful. Very rare for a Cocteau Twins cover to work, C.Duncan did a good one a couple of years ago too. Hannah Peel, I like your style. P.s. I've loved the Cocteaus for 32 years so overrule the haters.
Thank you. Inspired, respectful and brand new. You both compliment the song so well and breathe new life into this classic. Beautiful. Thank you!
Don't know what haterade last person drinking but this is absolutely beautiful. Great job Hannah. I'm sure Liz would and does approve.
Beautiful
This is the brilliance that the Cocteau Twins inspires :)
Im a big Cocteaus fan and I liked this version. !

The inflections you've added are absolutely beautiful
Absolutely beautiful.
You absolutely have a beautiful stage presence as well.
Great job.
this is so beautiful!! thank you for making such a sweet sounding version of this already so sweet song- i love the sound of the paper roll box.
Beautiful 🥰
I absolutely love your version, Thanks👌💜
Lovely and unique.
beautiful
Cocteau Twins cover versions are kinda rare tbh ....probably cos no-one has the talent (or b*lls) to cover them! So props for that 🥰
Absolutely beautiful, I’m in tears here!
Loved it, strange and beautiful

I'm crying it 's so beautiful
Is this the kid of John Peel?
Great name for a festival. Fabulous cover.
Hauntingly beautiful
It’s like a mother singing this to her child at peace.
That was amaaaazing.
Mesmerizing. Fantastic interpretation of a most excellent tune!
Love the lullaby take on the song :)
Amazing!!
Good one - if played at 1.25x speed.
and try 1.5x
it's even better
You’re right, omg I’ve played mines in 1.75x speed
Love this!
Wonderful thank-you so much
That was lovely x
Oh my fucking god, I didn't know how much I needed this
Thank you.
Do Love ZZ Tears
gracias por este bello y creativo cover.
Clever.
It plays the paper rolls. She makes her own.
Beautiful.
adorable
Love it!
I luv her
Thanks you for showing your love :-)
It's about how much love is surviving for Liz

Very Nice free version of this song. I love the box :D
Bless you
Nicely done.
Lordy lordy wordy wordy
Nice :-)
hi ma'am. can i request a song for a sick friend. she has cancer. she loves cocteau twins' bluebeard. can you sing it for her. thank you so much. keep inspiring.

Great
I'm sat here with tears in my eyes. Thank you.
Not just me then!
um no thank you

I'm absolutely with you! And where's the drums??? The original sounds magical, aquatic, dreamy... This version has just no sense.
@@kendrazoezelda5285 Couldn't agree more! 😊
it's for Lucy Belle, a music box.
making cocteau twins cover like that is pure hipsterish
crap. people should leave cocteaus material alone - not heard a good one yet
This is at least tolerable,but yeah,Cocteaus aren't really to be matched by anyone ever
Yah, There are some keep trying I made a playlist of ones I like. i like donimo that is chilean cover band.
Surely you jest? This is fabulous ...if only for attempting to recite the mystical lyrics and on that crazy contraption.
Then you really need to listen to a duo called Ashen Ringlets,I can guarantee you'll change your mind after hearing them.

For reals - Just admire and listen to Liz - PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!!! - I'm serious, maybe in the shower alone and stuff, cool, but yeah - - Don't!
Terrible.
That instrument she's playing must have taken years to master.
There's always one douche...
