    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

      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 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"

    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...

    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 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.

    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.
