Winning Submission #1 Know who you are at every age:
I adore this song for it's honesty and clarity. A confessional about the worst aspect of abuse. Not the pain or the memory, but how we trap ourselves from healing... become the chroniclers of our continuing shame. And that sometimes we must force our own breakdown to breakout of it. Nope, no butterflies or athol-brose here. A intimate account of emotional failure and devaluing ourselves down to nothing. I'm proud of Liz for this one. A process not many would sing about, much less write about.

Winning Submission #2 Evangeline:
One of my most beloved things about the Cocteau Twins is their evolution. Each step of evolution created something fresh and original. With this evolution the butterfly was Evangeline. I can remember the exact time and place my friends and I first heard it. I can still see the expression on their faces. These memories are precious to me.

Winning Submission #3 Pur:
Pur is what we heard when we met, what we saw falling in love, what we felt saying," I do". It's what we tasted when we divorced. Ever now and again, when I hear that song come over my ipod, It brings it back for a moment but I always let it go.
