The Song of The Day Thread

[shells]

ny fav song right now at this moment is i wear your ring...might change tomorrow but I love it right now
what was yours today?

[mmmender]

UPS!!!!!!!!

[shells]

Today it's Squeeze Wax!!!!! I hate hate hate the economy but at least I have Squeeze wax to pull me out of it temporarily...listening to this makes me thing what I always said about liz's singing......I can hear so much anger int eh so called "happy" songs...I have a connection, a deep connection, lol

love to you all and I would not wish what I am going through at this moment to anyone

[César]

Hi there! My favourite cocteau twin song is "Pur". I love it. Bya

[Emu]

Pur is nice if you've got kids (hiya to Lucybelle) but since I don't have any it's a mediocre song for me. I much prefer the lush "Serpentskirt."

Emu

[Scott]

Today it is Bluebeard, yesterday it was Suckling the mender, the day before that it was Theft and Wandering around Lost...there was a day not so long ago it was I wear your ring.

[stephanae]

Fifty-fifty Clown.. and Tishbite

[stephanae]

Fifty-fifty Clown.. and Tishbite

[spanglemaker]

today it is I wear your ring and mizake the mizan

[Foreverburls]

My two current favorite songs are, "Melonella" and "Love's Easy Tears".....it's been so long since i've listened to these great songs.

[David Thomas]

Hello everyone--- Today I pulled out "Lullabies", so it would be "It's All But An Ark(Lark)"!!!!

[at_every_age]

Today it is Summerhead!

[Scott]

That's cool, I was just really into Summerhead yesterday too...The mixing is just brilliant and the singing is top notch of course.

[curetwins]

'my truth'

[bedalov]

dear heart for some reason?

[Chaz]

Today and forever always "Crushed"

[shells/spanglemaker]

Today it is definately Evangeline.......

[Mortal Coil]

Heaven or Las Vegas, but thats today...

MC

[spanglemaker/shells]

Amazing how there are sooooo may cocteau twins songs but mu subconscience works silently and finds exactly what I want...for instance today I was feeling a little lonely and I knew I wanted to listen to ct but had no idea which one....I saw that song and I just doubled clicked...it started and I knew that that was exactly the song I was thinking about: Eggs and their Shells....so that is my fav song for today

[jamie]

For the last few week it was I WEAR YOUR RING

BUT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I just today downloaded for the first time ICE PULSE

WHAT A WICKED SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CATCHY EERIE HAPPY SPOOOKY FUCKING BRILLIANT!!!!

[shells/spanglemaker]

Today out of about 600 cocteau songs on file my truth jumped out at me. late night listening. This morning it was something else...but the whole sentence "you can work through the pain and enjoy your pleasures" caught me in the gut and took my breath away......Thanks again Liz, Robin and Simon..thought I should say that one more time


Shells/spanglemaker
cheers everyone
xx

[John Anderson]

I spent part of my rent money ona beautiful emerald green high polish performance Ibanez acoustic guitar...lol. i know I messed up..but I deservea fucking break...wonder where I'll be living with my new snazzy guitar...lol viva la musica!!!
shells

[Scott]

One of the Jeff Buckley songs that ended up growing on me alot was 'Dream Brother'...what a tune...
and ah yes..to buy a guitar...put it off for so long...

[Phil Lawton]

I heard Buckley attempted to sing "Underwater" too, but I may have misunderstood the statement.

[spanglemaker/shells]

Phil,...."you amaze me...you have another kind of freshness.."

[Torreadorre]

Mud & Dark. Once I figured who it was about I just loved it infiately more.
'Echo fell in love with the Handsome Narcissus...........'

How often do you guys Listen to Song for the Siren?
I dont over play it but EVERYTIME I do Im still Overwhelmed.

[spanglemaker/shells]

lazy calm today..wonderful song to do breathing exercises to...

[Phil Lawton]

Shells

Thank you, I'm flattered (I think).

Torreadorre

Check out The Czars' version of "Song To The Siren". Spookier than TMC's.

[john anderson]

actually not the twins exactly
TMC Another Day
"I loved you a long time ago aaa o"
john

[shells]

Today it is Ice pulse......you can't heal what you can't feel....

[Aloysius]

Today my soul's song is "millimillenary"...
For the milleniums
that will enjoy
the cocteau twins legacy...


Tomorrow: This Love... it's simply Liz with her ethereal world falling over my lonely heart...

[Scott]

I saw a live version of Millimillenary which I really loved. Her voice was softer but still quite interesting. I think the recording was from ~85...
today I am quite enjoying Shallow then Halo

[shells]

Today it has got to be Iceblink Luck

[Scott]

High Monkey Monk, yeah phil I eat up all those yummy quarter tones too, but a mere quarter tone doesn't begin to describe the versatile beauty of this singing....

[Victoria]

I love "Millimillenary", too.
Scott, I love CT lives performances, too.
I have an old video tape with CT "Live in Toronto, 1990"...
I love "Live in Paris, 1997", too. I have this recording in a cromo tape... In my country (Chile), "Live in Paris" was programing for an alternative's music radio... Is one of my treasures... the bis of "seekers who are lovers" is incredible...!!! They play "Song to the siren"... In this track, Liz's Voice sound whit a passion that makes cry...
Also a friend who aren't a CT fan (he likes metal music) was exciting for this... (a cup of tears fallen from his eyes when he listen to this track)...
Well, I love the version of "Pink Orange Red" from "Live in London , 1986") and from "Live in Toronto"... Ther first sound with much more sadness...

If somebody whants interchange CT material, contact me at my mail...
And sorry for my english' s redaction... I hope you understood me...

Kisses for Shells...

[beetles&eggs]

Lately it's been "sugar hiccup".

[zed]

donimo is really stuck in my head right now..and calfskin smack sets me off also..most of head over heels right now.

[ScottL]

Heh, that's cool! I was just listening to Treasure today(been a few weeks..long time) and thinking a bit about Donimo in fact, I love the guitar tone in that song, among other things....Amelia stuck around in my head a bit too...
But my fav ATM is Suckling the Mender..that song has some surreal dreamy effect on me...as some fuzzy place in my distant memories...something timeless about it(as with CT in general...but esp. so for me here)....this song is just taking me somewhere else...

[mmmender]

But my fav ATM is Suckling the Mender..that song has some surreal dreamy effect on me...as some fuzzy place in my distant memories...something timeless about it(as with CT in general...but esp. so for me here)....this song is just taking me somewhere else...

yup! damn straight!!!;)

they don't call me mmmender fer nothin'!

[spanglemaker]

Today it is the interview...the nine minute interview.....could fall asleep to it. Does anyone here remember laying your head on your mother's bossom while she was chatting away with her closest freind and you fell asleep in her arms? THAT'S what it feels like for me......


if only

*sigh*

[mmmender]

today it's watchlar

[zed]

today...i'd have to say "song to the siren."

watched the vid also.

in my opinion, for what it's worth, i feel it's Robin and Elizabeth's
first really GREAT collaboration.

it's as cold and bleak as the highlands in december,
and hot as molten roses.

Liz is nothing short of devastating.

tim buckley fan from waaay back.;)


gonna go get me book on j.m.waterhouse.

before i .........

[zed]

hhmmmm....

so far today....

toss-up between Mizak the Mizan or From the Flagstones.

Mizak..is all feelings..Flagstones is all vision...

for me at least.

objects in the rear veiw mirror, are real fucking close.


you see 'em too?

[spanglemaker]

for the longest time my favorite song was mizake the mizan.....

when i was a teenager i always thought of this one phrase that i could clearly hear liz say.........the fucking song is in spanish/portuguese/french...

i get it now. mizake the mizan= make the man.....peddle for drugs

there is one line where she says "esta enfermedad tan grande"
which means in sorrowful tone....this great sickness. it is like talking of something in a shameful way. can't explain it all that well as spanish is so very colorful compared to english.

my g/f is portuguese/irish and she was listening to the song on headphones and she said "this whole song is in portuguese(sp?)"
"was she a junkie a long time ago?" so I subjected her to listening to the song over and over. she says that some of the song is also in french which liz speaks fluently...if you have ever heard her on fuel's butterfly knife you know what i mean.

Then again my g/f is the one that misquoted liz as singing "sitting on a penis tree" lol on holv instead of "singing from the famous street" or something like that....

anyway, my favorite song for today is spanglemaker....it has always been in the top ten for me.

love to you all


spanglemaker
speckledspark(g/f)

[ScottL]

today I'm drowing in Moon and The Melodies(yes the album as I've been listening to it straight through serveral times this weekend...what a bother it must end so soon).

While I can't split out the mood from the whole album at the moment, 'She Will Destroy You' seems the most emotional part of the mood, while 'Memory Gongs'and 'Wy Do You Love Me' are the surreal timeless parts that make me feel like I'm not where I'm sitting.

[zed]

:cool:

today....Pur.

"i'm not afraid of your anger".

sigh.
whatta line.
so simple...so truely devestating.

love the begining..then POW!

beautiful.

[dynamine]

this would have to be "TOUCH UPON TOUCH" just can't get
enough of it.

[zed]

:confused:

shit whata day....

it's a toss up,

between Lorelei...
and "gasp" a none CT song.....sorry!
tie me up and beat me with rolled FCC posters.

bill nelson, ...the invisable man and the unforgetable girl.

got 'em both circleing in my head.
helluva mix..lemme tell ya.

[dynamine]

today is "millimillenary"

enough said.

[dynamine]

today would be:


"TINDERBOX (OF A HEART)"

[spanglemaker]

wax and wane........

[zed]

....the envelpe...please,

today the winner is........



hitherto, live, disc two, bbc.


ethereal my arse.

[dynamine]

"SUCKLING THE MENDER"

[steven]

My favorite song right now is 'Alice' if only for the fact I initially hated the song, and probably only listened to no more than five times. Then a 'bout a week ago I put in the 'green' violane single, and listened to it, and now have a new respect for it. The piano work is really nice, and I like the Seefeel esque sound bit at the end. Almost like a new cocteau song for me!

S.

[curetwins]

today... a kissed out red floatboat..

though at the moment i am listening to 'split' by lush

-jeff

[zed]

hhhmmmmm.....

today, driving through the back roads of connetecut,

Z.

[TigerZ]

"Teardrop" - Massive Attack...but it's Liz Frasers' voice thats got my head spinning...

[mmmender]

i dunno what it is but tonight i've been listening to echoes in a shallow bay and i'm soooooo into great spangled fritillary - it's just kicking my ass all over the place!

just what i need - more butterflies in my belly!:)

[zed]

woke up with Tishbite running through me head...
phil...stop that!

hadta hear it... a very happy good morning song!

:D M.

[spanglemaker]

touch upon touch or spanglemakerI was questioning and doubting......I was feeling my feelings for the first time......thirty years of it, all of it.......all at the same time

[watchlar]

I'm stuck on 2 songs right now...PUR and ELLA MEGALAST...God they're purrrfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


W.

[steven]

Right now, 'hitherto.' Listened to it for first time in a long while the other night wearing headphones. I love how the guitar parts intertwine.

ROFLMAO JANA.....you are really making me smile today...thank you

W

[jana]

seriously....boston is so underrated. as well as toto.
i could go on for days...but this music is what it's all about.
another song is
welcome to the terrordome....public enemy.

thank you SO much for posting those lyrics. it means the world to me.

[spanglemaker]

strange fruit

[someotherian]

spangles,

just cos jana likes boston and toto, there's no need to call her names.... ;)

[REPLICESS]

Have to agree with randomrob,

'Love's Easy Tears' always does it for me,
and 'Those Eyes, That Mouth'/'Sigh's Smell Of Farewell' compliment it perfectly :)

The one track that never fails to exhilerate me however is 'Rococo' - the way it builds takes my breath away and has me dancing like a loon ! :D

[zed]

today, driveing.....

"from the flagstones," from the live at the beeb.


love the images it makes.

haunting song...like a memory of a song, not a real one at all.

overgrown gardens, granite stairs, reflections in rain puddles,

the feeling of deja vue......black laces stockings and high botton shoes..statues covered in ivy......

beautiful song....

Z

[watchlar]

today is an ORANGE-APPLED day!!!!!!!!

[MCocteau]

she says that some of the song is also in french which liz speaks fluently...if you have ever heard her on fuel's butterfly knife you know what i mean.

I really doubt it's Liz speaking in French at the beginning of Fuel's song! I think it's Florence Guthrie, the only person in UK to be able to speak French LOL

[watchlar]

Butterfly Knife is an absolutely perfect song...dreamy

[zed]

today: i wear your ring/fotezpolitic...they stream together
somehow. so sweet, and sad, and so bitter. an illusion of a day at best.

:confused: Zed.

[spanglemaker]

Ian, you are so right...my g/f name is Amanda and I always sing that song to her so my hat off to Jana, lol. Yes it embarrasses the hell out of her especially when we are doing the grocery shopping at a huge store. The redder she gets the louder I sing...it's a good thing.
:D

For the moment: from the flagstones has me captured

[spanglemaker]

spanglemaker all the way today...I have reidentified with the song

my mother was here last night and she was witnessing me chatting with mmmender and posting on here at the same time. She was amazed there are more "devil worshipers" lol no just kidding I'll start a new thread about this one but she said that she was amazed I was still amazed with the same music...lol

[mmmender]

....and i'll bet you finished off that bottle of red wine all by yourself, didn't you? ;)

[spanglemaker]

Actually mmmender, I was waiting for you to rejoin us but since your abandonment left us all bitter we sat around drinking coconut rum and coke. I had half a drink and I started watching Monsters Inc. and I figured out that "Boo" lookes just like me in that boob shot you've got of me...

The wine is still here if you care to join me again tonight ;)

[spanglemaker]

it's an old game my love.......

[dynamine]

it's been warm here in so.cal.,the fires and all that.
so with that my fav. song for the moment is
"SUMMERHEAD"
bye for now.

[steven]

Fall is here, and with that I listen to Victorialand quite a bit (i.e., I never listen to Victorialand in the summer, Heaven or Las Vegas is more of a summer recording, to my ears).

Current song is 'Little Spacey.'

Steven

[Marios]

Lazy calm and calfskin smack for the last few days.

[zed]

Funny.....
i've always thought of the cocteau twins as an autmnal band.
the sweet/sad season...just seems right for them....
i know not everyone feels the same as i do about this, but i've always found that victorialand really suits the blustery fall days...
a very day dreamy album.

oh, yeah...back to the thread...
todays fav....for phoebe....

Z. all dreamy like....
:cool:

[steven]

Zed, I feel the same way. I think cocteau twins as a whole fits more into fall/winter seasons, but different albums have a different seasonal feel to me.

I always think FCC, Victorialand are Fall and Winter albums.
BBK and Treasure are Fall/Spring
Head Over Heals and HLV are summery, a bit more uptempo, warm....

Steven

[laurasilver]

[QUOTE]Originally posted by steven

Funny that, cos Victorialand is all summer to me. I am listening again to the Harold Budd collaborations, but the usual faves are V'land, Treasure, and tracks-wise: Musette and Drums, Oil of Angels, My Love Paramour, Wax and Wane, Seekers Who are Lovers, Pink Orange Red, Pandora, Frou Frou Foxes in Midsummer Fires (tell that to Prince Charles!), Theft and Wandering Around Lost...

:) we love 'em all...

[REPLICESS]

I think it depends what season it was when you first heard particular albums/songs - 'Treasure' to me sounds 'Christmasy' !!! especially 'Donimo'

[RunawayBay]

Funny that, cos Victorialand is all summer to me

:) I love the fact that we all are so different in tastes, habits and feelings... the most "summerly" album for me is MILK & KISSES and it is the ONLY one CT album i listen to in the summer. I find VICTORIALAND a "collection" of christmas songs (i really can see snowflakes off my window...), and that's because i listen to it ONLY in xmas time :)

Fav CT song for the moment:
that's for me a looooooooong PEARLY-DEWDROPS' DROPS (12 inch version) period... Captured by this song!!

Lori
------------
on air now: Lush - Scarlet

[ScottL]

I see what you are saying about seasons and CT...I get those feelings varying sometimes from song to song....every now and then some music will give me a strong sense of the season...quite subjective due to my own climate(I get the hot/cold extremes here) etc...hard to divide these seasonal songs are for me...I don't listen to any CT strictly by season :)

Victorialand does seem cold weather to me, but then I first got into it in college in early spring, which meant cold drizzling dismal weather...it was a nice way to go through that, that was my first CT experience actually..
HoLV seems late-spring
Garlands seems summery, much of the BBC disc does too depending..and Loves Easy Tears...
I think BBK seems Autumnal.
Moon and Melodies takes me back to chilly november days
Twinlights makes me think of xmas
I think parts of Treasure may be a wintery, but Aloysius and Lorelie don't so much to me..

these are all quick associations...I find many songs change their character(to my ear) in an interesting way throughout the year, through diverse influences...

[zed]

Nicely said!

for the moment..well since yesterday..

hevean or las vegas....i wear your ring.


mmmmmm goood!

Z.:D

[spanglemaker]

pandora most definately today

[Hlegister]

Well...I'd have to say for now that it is "Road, River and Rail". I just love the way Liz phrases her lyrics. Whew!:rolleyes:

Bluebeard...well...let's just say it depends a great deal upon my current mood! :) 'Cause "Violaine" is not bad either...

[zed]

............seems to me, that no matter what song you pick...
it's a great song!
unless of course it's ..*ahem* "cherry colored funk".

lol!;)
zed.

[Baddy2shoos]

cherry coloured funk rules!! no matter what mmmender thinks of it lol

[mmmender]

lol, i'm saying nothing!! :rolleyes:

[steven]

Hey mmmender,

Do you like the Otherness version of Cherry or do you pretty much think all mixes and live versions are dreck too??

Steven

[zed]

steven.......if i was you, i'd get behind a lage rock or something equally robust..........really.

:eek: Z

[mmmender]

one great thing about hearing ccf live is that it allowed me a break from yelling, screaming, dancing and waving my arms! ;)

and you think i'm kidding, don't you?? LOL

[ScottL]

Gee...mmmender named the torture bit...as I was going to say that'd be the first torture technique I'd use on mmmmender...to lock her in a [padded] room with CCF on repeat...eventually she'd be reminded of the beauty in Liz's vocal(which is certainly brilliant)....nothing less would be effective as we can see here...as discussion previous has only lead to projection of male ego from female parties...and attempted insults on manliness(turned out not to be an insult ironic as that was)

Hehe...

[mmmender]

i can just see it now.........

http://www.cocteautwins.org/ccf.jpg

[Hlegister]

Thank you all for the warm welcome! You are making this a lot of fun! Now you make me wish I had found this site before!:D

[Hlegister]

Hmmmmm....

This is getting rather intriguing...

LOL

ROTFLMBO!!!;)

CCF is a bit slow on the studio version...but it's the Twins so...it is acceptable....

mmmender...any luck on the lyrics to "Road, River and Rail"?

me.

[crushed]

I rotate daily my fave CT song, but it's always one of these...:)

TODAY it's 'UPS'
TOMORROW will be either 'CRUSHED', 'THOSE EYES, THAT MOUTH', 'BLUE BELL KNOLL', or 'DIALS'

Cheers,

Christopher

[dynamine]

hooked on Mizake The Mizan right now.

[Troy]

Flagstones.....

I don't know why but I like that one alot latley.......I really dig the versions on the BBC sessions!

might always be "Heaven Or Las Vegas (edit)"...Turn it up to 11 as it fades out....

[zed]

HA! yeah..i've done that.

[Phil Lawton]

Fave song today is "Achy Breaky Heart"....oh, shit! Wrong forum!

[randomrob]

(rushing off to target to find a single of 'she thinks my tractor's sexy' for Phil)

[Phil Lawton]

Rob (and this should really be in the joke thread, but it's relevant)

A young lad becomes fixated with tractors. He has posters of different kinds plastered all over his bedroom walls. His toy boxes are overflowing with toy tractors of every size, shape and colour. He has tee-shirts with tractors on, a duvet cover with a tractor print, the whole shebang.

One day, while out walking his dog, a tractor rounds a sharp corner and, without enough room left to brake, hits the unfortunate mutt and kills it. The lad is grief-stricken at the loss of his pet and, in a rage, tears up his posters, burns his tee-shirt and duvet covers and takes a lump hammer to his toys. He vows never to have anything to do ever again with tractors.

Many years later, the young lad has grown into a young man and drops into his local bar. Peering through the cigarette-smoke haze, he sees a young girl sitting alone and apparently crying. He walks over to her and asks if he can help.

"No, it's OK, thanks," she replies. "I just can't stand being in such a smoky atmosphere. It makes my eyes stream." On hearing this, the young guy starts a long, slow inward breath, sucking all of the smoke out of the air and into his lungs. With all of the smoke now in his body, he walks to the front door of the bar and blows it all out into the street.

"Thank you!" exclaims the girl. "That was very good! How on earth did you learn how to do that?"

"Easy," says the guy. "I'm an ex-tractor fan."

[zed]

GGggoooooaaann!!!!:eek:

Squeeze Wax definitely. It's a great frame of mind. ;)

[Hlegister]

Blue Bell Knoll...I just love the pace and the melody of that song...Not to mention Elizabeth's indescribable voice inflections....Whew!!!:rolleyes:

[steven]

All of Sunburst, especially from the flagstone(rs)....

[badjumper]

Yes, From The Flagstones

tomorrow, Those Eyes, That Mouth

[oldwill]

FOR PHOEBE STILL A BABY

Most pop music goes for the guts. This is definately one for the heart. Use in moderation!:)

[Hlegister]

"Violaine"...Right now at this very moment...it has to be..."Violaine"!!! Golly :D

Oops!!! (Spell Check!!!)

Plain Tiger- that ending always knocks me out

Gee Zed...now that DOES sound good...

Yeah, I've been stuck on the whole of EiaSB EP...this is my favorite EP barnone...not counting the TD/EiaSB double EP..since choosing 4 song over 8 isn't an option :) esp when 4 of them are the same

[MCocteau]

Bluebeard...Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zed]

Thanks Scott............. it does, dosent it? oh....
this just in....add the smell of fresh rain, and in those cool sheets.....that special someone....soft ephinany time.

of course victorialand is playing.....!:) :) :)

Zed....daydreaming again.....

[superblast]

i'm really enjoying victorialand at the moment too... esp. little spacey and lazy calm. and oomingmak, and whales tails. beautiful stuff. i've listened to HOH more than usual lately. musette and drums is a favorite for the moment.

[badjumper]

Five, Ten, Fiftyfold keeps rumbling around in my head at the moment.

The whole rythem of that song trips over itself so divinely

[seanwales]

Victorialand is a big hit with my 5 year old son, so we're listening to that a lot, especially Oomingmak. He says it makes him feel happy:D

Personally, Athol-Brose is popular. I especially like that segment of the song where Liz's voice is reminiscent of bagpipes skirling away - very Highlander. I know that sounds weird, but thats what itt reminds me of.........Anyone else?

[glint]

IMO there are three songs in this world that can't equal our descriptions: "My Truth, Essence, and Harold Budd's "A Stream With Bright Fish...That's, utterly, the most I can muster...

[glint]

Okay, four songs: "The Ghost has no home" also, that bassline! These are only MO.

[glint]

Wow! Lucky kid! I only wish I had heard Victorialand when I was 5!!

In my case a simple association between a Cocteau Twins song of the day (CTSOTD) and a non CT's one.

They are still ongoing as a musical entity. I've just ordered, from their official website, 'Up The Gary', their latest offering of all Michael Jackson and Gary Glitter covers. Initial copies feature a treat for fans of The Who, a bonus track of 'There's No-One Quite Like Uncle/Uncle Ernie (Medley)'.

As I like Debussy and can do a more than passable impression of John Hurt, you may be right.

Yeah, baby! Danielle Dax! I missed her! Weirdo that she was. "Dark Adapted Eye" is just a riveting pop-goth masterpiece. Anyone remember that amazing album cover of hers where she's looking drenched and bruised and holding a big gun? Riveting.

So, where's she now? More of a visual artist who happened to make a couple of good records in the 80's-sort of thing, I suppose.
