I was in 8th grade when this came out. Bluebeard was all over alternative radio, so I bought the whole album. I had never heard their old music, so I’d never heard anything like it. It changed my life. Absolutely fundamental to who I became as an adult. I’m a black woman. All my friends were listening to violent and sexual music. This album saved my life. ❤
The powers that be love to use music as a tool to morally degrade the youth. Always pushing drugs, violence and promiscuity. If we didn’t have a for profit prison system, I bet there would magically be a lot less violence and drug pushing in the music. And FYI the CIA did try to use music to influence the youth culture in Cuba. Iirc they threw them out.
@@Watcher4111 yeah yeah. All the cool older people said the same. But hey…how many hipsters does it take to change a light bulb? There is a light and it never goes out. (You think I haven’t heard the rest of the albums now tough nut?)
I found this album when it came out. I was in eighth grade. I’m was a black alternative kid, and couldn’t listen to the popular music of the day. This album saved my life. Hope you don’t mind my random comment. ❤
you are sooo right .... this song is absolute incredible ....it really heals me ....and gives me a bit strength for the day ....... I really love cocteau twins .
Years after this album was released, I was in New York shopping with a friend and this song was playing....every secret I kept funneled up inside me came up to my conscience and shortly after that, my life changed dramatically. Sometimes the best decisions are the ones that are made for you. And now, years after that Saturday afternoon in November in New York, I credit this song for my awakening. Music is power.
I would say that Heaven or Las Vegas Is their most accessible album. I have a feeling it's probably sold the most. And it deserves a spot in popular musical history, even though some fans might think it's too commercial.
absoluteeeee ......incredible song ......but you gave too search for it through all the lady gaga bullsjit .......these days in satanic songs ....hidden everywhere ....
Post punk, gothrock, shoegaze, poprock, dreampop, purepop, blues, jazz, ballad and film score. The Cocteau`s have covered so many styles of music and still sounded unique. I am amazed they have received very little recognition for their accomplishments. But would we have it any other way? Would worldwide acclaim have put too much pressure on them to produce mainstream music? I`m glad we have what we have from the Cocteau Twins and will always be grateful for the stunning diversity and beauty of their music.

This band is freaking underrated. And by underrated i mean it. You don’t see this in the mainstream 80s playlists or special events and they totally deserve to be in every single one.
I worked in an upscale salon in the 90’s as a nail technician and the receptionist Tanya played coceatu twins music everyday and I’ve been in love ever since
This song brings me back to the days when I was in Japan. I was looking for albums in Disk Union store in Shibuya, Tokyo and this song was playing in the background. I was so haunted at that moment. This song is very personal for me because it reminds me very special times of my life.

This song has become super significant to me after losing both my mum and best friend to cancer, with my dad's battle also impending. After losing my mum when i was 21 and still pretty dependant, I drank a lot for about three years - masking pain of course. My best friend helped me through this, and after i lost her this year I found myself numbed. I was relieved she was no longer in horrible pain and she had changed my life for the better. But I hated that I seemed to have lost my ability to cry or even feel appropriately upset. There were things that used to remind me of my mum, like the sea, that upon sight would make me cry, and these days I can barely feel it. And same with my best friend now. I felt like i was plastic, like I wasn't being real if I was able to be so calm in such an unfair situation for my best friend who lost her life so early. When I heard the lyrics to this song recently I couldn't believe the personal significance, 'I can't grieve so I won't grow'. It's incredible.
Numbness has happened to me too - after some traumas. Finally found a good therapist and I’m working on it right now. I hope you have gotten help and are okay now.
One of the first things I like to do when I click on a song is scroll through the comments looking for clues. Having known about the Cocteau Twins for the last thirty years, I am still learning more through reading your beautiful comments, thank you for making my journey through their music even more magical 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Cocteau twins is a reminder of the best years of my life … in london many many years ago … my first day as a salesman in a shop in london on camden high street … i'm french … she's from sweden … i can barely speak english … she's amazingly beautiful … i pop in the shop to start my shift and this music is playing … then i feel shivers all over my body blushing red facing her amazing beauty and thought : "what on earth is this music !!!" … since then but even more after i left london i can't sleep without some cocteau twins … her name is merrethe she was, she is & will be a friend for ever !!! I miss you Merrethe my dear friend … if only i understood what you were going trough back then … Life ……..
she is still with us thank god, she was facing hard time back then, the same happened to me afterwards, she knew what i'll be going through so this song is for her "know who you are at every age"
I used to love this song in my teens, I wasnt a teenager when this came out in fact I wasnt even alive when cocteau twins were releasing their albums. I remember this feeling of slight melancholy and sadness that filled me as i heard each of their songs. But I always found my safe place in their music whenever I was hurt or sad or upset, these days I dont listen to them as much however when I do the experience is just as amazing if not even more so than the first time I heard them. Now I dont feel a sadness if anything it gives me a deep sense of peace and contentment within myself.
I'm peruvian and I thanks god for putting CT on my spotify aleatory list. Squeeze Wax, My truth and this one are my favorites. I just feel like i dont belong my country sometimes, I mean, I LOVE PERÚ and its music, but things like CT make me want to be part of that era.
Tengo 57 y acabo de escuchar con 30 años de retraso por primera vez esta canción de 1993 a través de 97.3 radio Valentín Letelier de Valparaíso, Chile. En buena hora.
One of my all time favourite tunes. Beautiful Elizabeth Fraser's voice is cloud like it's all encompassing, it is like a cult. I was swept in by her hypnotic gift & still am to this day.
I saw them at The Brixton Academy and thought I'd gone to heaven until I then saw them at The Royal Albert Hall when I realised that Brixton was the warm up act! I took the day off work the day that Heaven or Las Vegas came out and spent the entire day driving around North London with that album on full volume!
this is the best song ever and its true for all of us truth for all of us earth playing angels until our jobs are done love all and always love yourself truth and joy
I have listened to this song since I was a little girl and I am 32 years old. My father would play this album on repeat while I was growing up. This song has helped me get through the most difficult heartbreaks I ever went through. I hope this beautiful song is relevant in someone’s life.
Cette voix ,ces YEUX et cette sensualité. Ce son reconnaissable dès la première note . Quel reconfort Cocteau Twins m'a apporté quand j'etais de kaki vêtu 🐠🦋
I spent two months in old Prague during the spring of 98’. I listened to this album every single day walking around and taking photos. Every time this album comes on I go to my happy place in Praga.
Sometimes, it's hard to know what you are, or you don't want to think about or accept what you've become, so one spends (probably) too much time thinking who they were. I know I'm always wanting to go back, sometimes all the way to the womb, but I'd settle for 1984 or so!
when I was 16 I carved a "tattoo" on the inside of my left ankle & rubbed india ink into it. it's still there & I'm so glad I did it. my 16 yr old self says, "I was here" ❤
Amazing vocalisation,harmonies,rthyms,melodies, and all backed by sublime and masterful instrumentation.Music has power to move the soul like nothing else.At times I'm in awe of talented musicians.What a gift.Although I'm aware that every man and woman is a star-understood?
I was a huge fan at the time and really looked forward to this release but I too was disappointed at first. I recognized a few gems, but it was so laid-back and slick... Now it's totally a classic, their last great work. I can never remember their song titles correctly, but that stretch on Side Two to the end is arguably the best CT trip ever. What is that, 'Essence' My Truth', 'Pur'?
@@Jhensy2012 me too, there's no way I can get the titles in my head. I think it's because they are kinda random and the lyrics are in an alien language
Just Beautful, I used this cd in my Facial Room! and was introduced to this group while practicing in class of the "Euro Institute" in Washington State some years ago. This is a never tiring lovely CD ♡
This so awesome i listened to this all over europe. It was a coming of age for me some years ago. Its still as cool as I thought it was then. only now its better.......

I love this song, especially with the high & low-voiced Liz coming together for the 2nd chorus. Your vid is kinda like that, too, with some contrasting images of barred windows & open paths; steps to climb up (or fall dow), sky & sea (aquarium?), plus "shadows" of your self at ground level. The lyrics are pensive and self-reflective, but it's neat that you mostly show an ebullient, smiling LIz. Oh, the Rorschach patterns (album art?) & disembodied dolls fit in, too.
i mustve heard this song when i was real young becasue this song feels exactly how i imagine believing in god feels. the second I heard that guitar strum I felt like I was listening to scripture, something speaking directly to my soul.
@@A_scattered_flesh i think its a stock google image actually. just try to change your pfp and if it asks if you want to use a google one use one of theirs bc i think thats where this pfp is from.
The guitar pedal “wash” puts me on the ultimate high. At least pedal “wash” is what I think it is? I don’t play guitar but I can’t describe the wonderful, ethereal sound any other way.
Hello Mr. D Just swinging by for a dose of CT. Thanx again for posting all these amazing experiences for the world to share and celebrate. Love and Light be with with you my friend -J

This song is one of many answers to lifelong existential crises
glad to know i wasn’t the only one that listened to this on repeat during an existential crisis lol
The amount of dopamine this song gives me is out of this world. You can literally heal someone with this song.
Huh fr
This song and Cico buff make my dopamine receptors explode
All of their music is like this, i feel Love in the purest

So true!! Wow what a description!! 💕
Isn't it... every time i listen to her I just want to cry or scream with joy. She moves me and I just don't care. Beautiful.
I want to hear Cocteau Twins as I die.
Me too
Something to do with wanting to hear angels before you hear angels. For me anyway.
A sound for the ages💜
Yes!!!
Which song in particular ?
Four-Calendar Cafe is just masterpiece, even dethrones Heaven or Las Vegas imo.
I would say that Heaven or Las Vegas Is their most accessible album. I have a feeling it's probably sold the most. And it deserves a spot in popular musical history, even though some fans might think it's too commercial.
dude, you are the reason my kid wanted to dress as Speaker Man last Halloween. Glad to know you like good music :) Did you ever get into DEADSY?
Yeeeesssss!!! Finally someone gets it! So many people hate on this album, but it’s indeed a masterpiece!
The last three albums , and Blue Bell Knoll for the most part, form a singular lump of gorgeousness in my head.
just got it on vinyl for the first time. wow i forgot how brilliant it is. loving it all over again.
One of the most beautiful, haunting, transcendental songs known to man

craig butler - no genre can claim this band, as they were unmatched
As hitler once said "don't be sad it's over, smile because it happened"
Thus CT is what made Ethereal Wave to exist.
The masses have no taste for quality.

amazing lyrics
I always thought it was "I'm not really mad tonight".
She was enigmatic poet and hardly anybody noticed.
I hear "discreet disorder" and "deny it" rather than just deny. I love it either way, it's just genius
This band is freaking underrated. And by underrated i mean it. You don’t see this in the mainstream 80s playlists or special events and they totally deserve to be in every single one.
No problem, it will forever be on our lists

She's like pure spirit manifesting into the material world.
This song has become super significant to me after losing both my mum and best friend to cancer, with my dad's battle also impending.
After losing my mum when i was 21 and still pretty dependant, I drank a lot for about three years - masking pain of course. My best friend helped me through this, and after i lost her this year I found myself numbed. I was relieved she was no longer in horrible pain and she had changed my life for the better.

Nancy Berbank yes yes yes to all of this!!! That lyric hits you like a brick when you read it. It’s like wow 😲
It may come later Nancy, grieving is a process that is unique to each individual
I loved your honest & truthful comment Nancy! Thanks for sharing. I recognize the emotional constipation myself.

Cocteau twins is a reminder of the best years of my life … in london many many years ago … my first day as a salesman in a shop in london on camden high street … i'm french … she's from sweden … i can barely speak english … she's amazingly beautiful … i pop in the shop to start my shift and this music is playing … then i feel shivers all over my body blushing red facing her amazing beauty and thought : "what on earth is this music !!!" … since then but even more after i left london i can't sleep without some cocteau twins … her name is merrethe she was, she is & will be a friend for ever !!! I miss you Merrethe my dear friend … if only i understood what you were going trough back then … Life ……..

she is still with us thank god, she was facing hard time back then, the same happened to me afterwards, she knew what i'll be going through so this song is for her "know who you are at every age"
Interesting! Your friend sounded/sounds very special. The Cocteau Twins blew my mind in the 80's as well. :-)

oh man.. this album is absolutely forever ear candy. brilliant
Cocteau Twins always had their own unique and original sounds. This is so mellow and languid.
i can't get over how dreamy this is.
The melody, the lyrics, the tone, the pitch everything about this song makes me crawl into myself just so i can smile

Moving and emotional. Reminds me of loss - Passing of close friends - family. Being in that null and void state. Somewhere in between....

I spent two months in old Prague during the spring of 98’. I listened to this album every single day walking around and taking photos. Every time this album comes on I go to my happy place in Praga.
Sometimes, it's hard to know what you are, or you don't want to think about or accept what you've become, so one spends (probably) too much time thinking who they were. I know I'm always wanting to go back, sometimes all the way to the womb, but I'd settle for 1984 or so!
Incredible melodic. Cocteau Twins blow my mind. I remember buying this album in 1990 from WHSmith. I was 20.
i listen to this every single day . . . one of the best tracks i ever heard! so moving and serial
when I was 16 I carved a "tattoo" on the inside of my left ankle & rubbed india ink into it. it's still there & I'm so glad I did it. my 16 yr old self says, "I was here" ❤
This is art
Just found this band at 30 wow just wow
It makes me so happy people are still discovering this incredible band for the first time!!
never too late! feel free to deep dive into their discography - i bet you won’t regret 😉

The 1st MP3 song i ever downloaded from the Netz around 1995 i guess, haha good times.

@@Jhensy2012 me too, there's no way I can get the titles in my head. I think it's because they are kinda random and the lyrics are in an alien language
Currently happening to me.
Masterpiece
Muero de amor..... Esa voz, esa música..........

It seems things are indicative to,
A distinct desire to
Observe such,
Heal such
Behave such that makes this hard for me
I'm not real and I deny, I won't heal unless I cry
I can't grieve, so I won't grow, I won't heal 'til I let it go
I'm not real and I deny, I won't heal unless I cry
It seems things are indicative to,
A distinct desire to
Observe such,
Heal such
Behave such that makes this hard for me
I'm not real and I deny, I won't heal unless I cry
I can't grieve, so I won't grow, I won't heal 'til I let it go
I can't grieve, so I won't grow, I won't heal 'til I let it go
Cry, cry, cry 'til you know why, I lost myself, identify
Cry, cry, cry 'til you know why, I lost myself, identify
I'm not real and I deny, I won't heal unless I cry
I can't grieve, so I won't grow, I won't heal 'til I let it go

Cocteau Twins - Know Who You Are At Every Age Lyrics:
It seems things are indicative to,
A distinct desire to observe such, heal such
Behave such that makes this hard for me
I'm not real and I deny, I won't heal unless I cry
I can't grieve, so I won't grow, I won't heal 'til I let it go
I'm not real and I deny, I won't heal unless I cry
It seems things are indicative to, A distinct desire to
Observe such, Heal such
Behave such that makes this hard for me
I'm not real and I deny, I won't heal unless I cry
I can't grieve, so I won't grow, I won't heal 'til I let it go
I'm not real and I deny, I won't heal unless I cry
I can't grieve, so I won't grow, I won't heal 'til I let it go
Cry, cry, cry 'til you know why, I lost myself, identify
Cry, cry, cry 'til you know why, I lost myself, identify
I'm not real and I deny, I won't heal unless I cry
I can't grieve, so I won't grow, I won't heal 'til I let it go
A master piece!
Beautiful.
Out of all their songs this one hits me the most❤
I love this song, especially with the high & low-voiced Liz coming together for the 2nd chorus. Your vid is kinda like that, too, with some contrasting images of barred windows & open paths; steps to climb up (or fall dow), sky & sea (aquarium?), plus "shadows" of your self at ground level. The lyrics are pensive and self-reflective, but it's neat that you mostly show an ebullient, smiling LIz. Oh, the Rorschach patterns (album art?) & disembodied dolls fit in, too.
If I wouldn't have read this comment I wouldn't have heard the lower octave in the 2nd chorus!! So beautiful 🦋💕🌿
i mustve heard this song when i was real young becasue this song feels exactly how i imagine believing in god feels. the second I heard that guitar strum I felt like I was listening to scripture, something speaking directly to my soul.
@@A_scattered_flesh i think its a stock google image actually. just try to change your pfp and if it asks if you want to use a google one use one of theirs bc i think thats where this pfp is from.
Whatever is born has the qualities of that time
We are all in a state of becoming 😮
I lost the love of my life this year
I hope he will heal himself and find genuine happiness in this world.
love this so much
My goosebumps just got goosebumps listening to this.
This may have been the first CT song I heard and I remember loving this album and having to get a copy ASAP
Pure brilliance
Hauntingly beautiful voice ❤️🌹🎼
love this woman and her music has soothed my soul for many years..your videos are perfectly entuned to her unique sound....blessings on youxxx
The guitar pedal “wash” puts me on the ultimate high.
At least pedal “wash” is what I think it is? I don’t play guitar but I can’t describe the wonderful, ethereal sound any other way.
Love since 30 years, bless you Elizabeth!!! Master of ... everything...
such a wise song
Same I think every Time i listen to it.
Simple. But smart.
