My imagination has always goverend my reality through the highs and the lows, the spell never broken, which is why everytime I hear Evangeline those lyrics resonate magnificently.

Which Cocteau Twins lyrics resonate with you most particularly and why?

Fritter · Aug-8-08, 3:35 PM

It's the guitars and the voice and the bass that do it for me

Some CT songs (with actual, or imagined lyrics) can convey a sense of sadness within me--but in a good way, if you can understand me.

I think what I mean is that if I'm feeling low, certain songs can 'fit' the mood, like:

'a kissed out red floatboat' ---- when I first went through a rough patch with my wife, I changed the 'lyric' to "she didn't love me back, she holded me out...."

'summer-blink'---- "I try I am resourceful I contribute, I belong when I contribute....I don't have to be perfect, I'm accepting myself as I really am, I'm feeling love for my successes"-----could be my mantra!

'for Phoebe still a baby'----"How is it (little angel) you do (listen angel) run along and shine the world (this night angel)...............flow and feed (listen angel) feed us"......
was a song that me and the missus made love to, and sort of was our song for a while........it's also a lovely lullaby I think

It's on the album your favourite song is from

Fritter · Aug-8-08, 3:57 PM

Wierdly enough, it was the unintelligability of the lyrics that was one of the things that made me like them in the first place - the voice as another instrument coupled with exoticism. I guess why that's I started to tail off them mid-4CC. But I find most lyrics a bit cringey, me.

what, 'The moon and the melodies'?---"she will destroy you"? (in answer to Stephen's Q.)

I sure do understand.
My mind captures a fragment of a lyric, carries it away on exquisite path dictated by the melodic verve but driven by my heart, making for a deeply personal odyssey with every track, whether happy, sad or amorphous.

I wonder if thats what the band had intended when thy first set out to delight.

"Know who you are at every age". "Cry cry cry 'till you know why. I've lost myself identified."

This is the exact beauty I find i n CT. Especially For Phoebe. Sad's okay when expressed thru CT. Actually I can't think of any better way. I stop & I start again these days.

I'm coming on to an ON phase. yay.
