Video Description (Here below is my description of this video, in which the external links I provide actually work. For some reason, RUclips is stopping them from working in the video description box above.) • Unofficial Music Video • Hotel Babylon, 1996 • Standard Volume Level This performance is from an episode of Hotel Babylon, a 1996 British late night music programme hosted by Dani Behr and made by LWT for the ITV network's ITV Night Time strand. I have not been able to find out what date this episode was aired, but it was definitely some time in 1996. I have used two different source videos to create this video: one for the footage and another for the audio. The source video I have used for the footage is here: ruclips.net/video/x67_UCv95LQ/видео.html That was the best-quality upload of this performance I could find online. The video picture had been horizontally stretched so that everything appears too wide, so I have used special software to unstretch it. I have also cropped the edges of the video picture, just enough to clean them up. I have also adjusted the colours, reducing their intensity. The source video was slightly out-of-sync, with the picture running slightly late compared to the sound, so I have fixed that. That source video ends very suddenly before the music has come to an end, so I have used another source video for the audio, and it can be found here: ruclips.net/video/x67_UCv95LQ/видео.html This song was written by the Cocteau Twins (Elizabeth Fraser, Robin Guthrie and Simon Raymonde). The original studio version was produced by the Cocteau Twins, and was released in 1996. According to Wikipedia, the single reached No. 29 in Scotland and No. 34 in the UK. Also according to Wikipedia, the album that track was taken from, "Milk & Kisses" (1996), reached No. 17 in the UK, No. 24 in Scotland, No. 48 in Belgium, No. 53 in Canada, No. 64 in Australia, and No. 99 in the USA, and did not chart in New Zealand or Sweden. No other territories are mentioned. I have also made a high-quality upload of the official music video for the single version of the song, and it can be seen here: Cocteau Twins : "Tishbite" (1996) • Official Music Video • HQ Audio ruclips.net/video/afCBbTOG0J8/видео.html Unfortunately that video has been blocked in the USA by the footage copyright owner. For more information on this song, see these pages: en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=Tishbite+(song)&title=Special%3ASearch&ns0=1 www.discogs.com/master/16237-Cocteau-Twins-Tishbite In my music video uploads, I normally include optional subtitles for the lyrics and provide a transcript of the lyrics, but I do not attempt to do this when it comes to songs by the Cocteau Twins. There is no official presentation of the lyrics, and the transcripts found on lyrics websites are clearly very inaccurate. They all seem to be in English, but I do not consider the actual lyrics to be in English or any other established language. I currently have one other video featuring the Cocteau Twins, and it's this: Cocteau Twins : "Cico Buff" (1988) • Official Music Video • HQ Audio ruclips.net/video/--CW1iY2_34/видео.html
