Imagine writing and recording this song, then deciding it's not good enough to be anything other than a B-side. That's when you know your band has achieved near perfection.
@dread true How about " Train In Vain " being uncredited on " London Calling " ? I had that Clash 7" Capital Radio with I Fought The Law on it. For a time , they really were " The Only Band That Matters "
@mamaziha I just never could stop crying I was under cover working for the Clandestine Division 5/ I found these Dudes away for 21 years, based in Bangkok, I put cartels away for violent snuff movies torturing children sick Western very dangerous now they are in Bang Kwang prison and the evidence I throw away the key, I cried for years what we dealt with,DIVISION 5 Child protections unit, Organised Crime military unit Lopburi Thailand set up by the Royal Thai Military Police 1999
The first time I heard this song, I was stunned. I'd watch The Lonely Bones because of this song. I kept it in my mind so, when I gave the life to my daughter, I named her Alice. A shinny and sparkling little girl, a very emotive and fragile little girl, a complex little girl, like the voice of Elizabeth Fraser.
@@michaelcraig9449 the movie is based on a book. It's about a girl victim of a perverted murderer. We follow her spirit and the rest of her family. The topic is sad but it's made with lot of grace and decency. It's about grief and reconstruction after a death.
Been listening to Cocteau twins/Mrs. Fraser now for 40 yrs .... She always Serenades me to sleep, with headphones on....... People come up to me and have said, ' who's voice is this??? It's heaven.....'. In 1983, we were freaks..... Today they wish they experience what we did....
would anyone please mention the actual TITLE of it, instead of just calling it "this film" or "this movie"? honestly, I'm curious to find out, but it seems nobody actually said it neither at the description nor the comments!

I used to rewind the credits to this movie over and over just to cry and listen to this... how depressing is that? ... actually, not at all. Letting out emotion is the most beautiful thing on this planet. stay healthy minded friends!!!!!!!
I did the same thing. I cried heavy sobs of sorrow mixed with the peerless joy from knowing that I was experiencing the beauty of being human by experiencing genuine profound emotion. Elizabeth Fraser is undeniably the "voice of God". We are so fortunate to have known her during our lifetime. She opened a path leading into my darkness as well as my Light. Which is her gift to those of us fortunate enough to be able to realize how special she is because, only by becoming one with our deepest blackest emotions, are we able to know the greatest love, joy and happiness! So beautiful!
Yes, you must embrace your emotions. If you keep them balled up inside, they get all twisted up and manifest completely wrong. Most people that go wrong do so through repression, whether it be themselves or someone else forcing them.
Diane Ashcroft-RedfernDear Diane, I am 46 and at 45 I started noticing that the life long work I've been doing on myself, to fix my own brokenness, is finally starting to come to fruition! There has been, more than one occasion, where I have found myself crying; not because I was still broken, but because it took me 45 years to become unbroken! At 45 I found myself crying at the fact that I was finally reacting in a healthy manner to some of life's unpleasant and unhappy surprises! Then, quite curiously, while still in the midst of crying, I found myself suddenly laughing! Laughing at the thrill of recognizing the difference! I'm writing a book that tells all of the intimate details of my childhood and how my alcoholic, diabetic (type 1) mother broke me. She died when I was 21, and I have been in therapy ever since. I just had my regular Wednesday therapy appointment this afternoon, and it helped me, just as it always does, on my continued journey to become a better, healthier and happy person. I owe my good fortune of self love and compassion to the Cocteau Twins and 20+ years of therapy! You are never too old to become a better, happy and healthy person! You can do it too, Diane! My book is called, How to Bring a Blush to the Snow. I named it after the Cocteau Twins song, and each chapter of my story is titled with a fitting Cocteau Twins song. I did this as a way to honor them. My mother's name is Carolyn so I have, of course, titled an early chapter, "Carolyn's Fingers". It is so apropos, since my mother was in a fire when I was four years old, which burned away most of her right arm, but left her delicate fingers untouched. Diane, perhaps you will find my true story of deep childhood brokenness to be of some help to you, on your own journey of self healing and compassion. My email is platinumfiresong (at) gmail (dot) com and if you would like to read my story, I would love to give you a copy, when it is finished. It's true, that I am writing my story to help myself, but more than anything, my desire is to help others, who have also known deep suffering, in that dark painful place. The hell in which I spent most of my life, never truly living, just barely surviving. If I can ease someone else's pain, I will have truly lived a complete life! Sincerely, Elizabeth

+Iwona K Just saw it for the first time just now ....... life changing. I've known this song for years and thought the same of this song. Seeing the two together.... wow.
@@christopherecatalano they will have a lasting legacy. I bought their albums in the mid eighties. not for everyone, but young people will still discover them.
It is extremely harkening and magical. It is almost as if someone went back to an age forgotten by time, where sirens sing out to the oceans and nymphs glide through enchanted forests. An inexplicably beautiful song.
The Cocteau Twins are my favourite band, and Elizabeth Fraser is my favourite singer. Watching them perform live in Köln in 1990 was one of my life's best moments. Saoirse Ronan is not bad either.
i know this movie was "silly" at times. but i won't hide the fact that it touched me very much. this video alone made me cry. superb acting from saoirse, just perfect
@@brosef5033The hate isn't towards the movie itself. Moreover, the book and what happened with it because due to the book. The wrong guy got accused, and the real killer got away because this was based on true events. And the book swade public opinion.
@Bigfoot I hear ya - the film had an ethereal quality about it which, imho, beautifully offset the horror that befell Susie Salmon - will give the book a look 📚
This is one of those movies that I have to emotionally prepare myself to rewatch, but I love it and keep feeling like I can fix the ending to make it happy. This song is so beautiful.
OK, so professional critics didn't love the film... but many film goers did - me included. Saoirse Ronan was superb as Susie.. I always knew she was going to be huge in the acting world, after watching her in Atonement and ICNBYW. What a talent!!!
I can't explain the feelings this song evokes in me. I feel kinda depressed and melancholic, it makes me really, really sad after I watched the movie. But I just can't stop listening to it because it's such beautiful and magical... I'm in a very sad mood because of the song but I like this mood somehow... Idk this is weird
One of Peter Jackson's best films... forget what people say about its comparison to the book... its an absolutely belting film... sad and dream like but brilliant.... watch it
I'm in love with this movie and this strange and beautiful song. Something about it just draws me to it and it gives me this like deep feeling. It's hard to explain.
Ce morceau est à l'image de Cocteau Twins, magnifique et intemporel. J'ai eu la chance de les voir en Bretagne, il y a 20 ans environ mais cela reste avant tout un groupe à écouter au calme, en contemplant un paysage, la mer. Un bonheur musical.
I really don't care about the film so much as the way this song just goes so well with the imagery. It's like each, although created independently of each other, they were made for each other and they're destiny was to find each other some day.
I know your comment is 4 years old. Hopefully you are doing well. Your post was very fitting. The song and the video were like soul mates. Created independently but meant to be together. So fitting.
Making hairs stand on end these acoustic variations feel like oscillating musical notes pouring strait through my soul as if crosses through heavens gates. Undoubtedly a perfect fit for that very articulately haunting yet beautiful movie.
there's no official video for this song...Alice appeared firstly in Bertolucci's movie called "Stealing Beauty" where Liv Tyler is crying while the song is played.
The first time I heard this song, was in the Lovely bones by Peter Jackson. Now I can't get it out of my head. The voices and singing are beautiful, and it fits in with the book and film and makes it even more emotional.
Reading the comments, I must say that this movie is as beautiful as sad, I can't understand how a horrible topic in a movie (or the book) can be such a beautiful piece of art, you simply can't feel that sadness while reading it/watching the movie, I mean, Peter Jackson did magic while making this movie, It's hard for me to explain this...
Marli Netflix removed it for a while but it is back, I absolutely adore this movie but my grandmother doesn’t because she doesn’t want to think that there are people like that who get away with the murder...
Esta canção transcende as imagens do filme, é como se eu me sentisse na visão da personagem, morta e em um lugar distante do plano material. É um misto de paz com melancolia, difícil de compreender.
alice was a Cocteau twins b side as such it never appeared on milk and kisses the Cocteau twins never sold out with b sides from albums they were always new songs the b sides were all amazing as well sometimes better than what was on the album so its unfair to call them b sides, just fantastic music we will never see the likes of the Cocteau twins again so original and unique you will not listen to anything better.
I still can not believe that i live in world and time when i able to hear this. Cocteau Twins bring so much to me, i am happy that i am the one who really felt it from inside, this feels better than any other thing, even its say about death
One of the reasons I still listen to this song, other than it's ethereal beauty, is that not only is my town the one that they spoke of in the book, but that I almost became a victim to a predator while walking the cornfield in my town, Norristown, Pa.
I loved this movie, and I don't get all of the hate. It was gorgeously filmed, sweet, funny and heartbreaking. The book was even more so. I think people tend to compare everything Peter Jackson does to the LOTR trilogy, which is unfair.
I didn't know Peter Jackson was involved with the Lovely Bones! I guess in certain cases ignorance truly is bliss. But I will always hold this movie in my heart of hearts because it is about that which is the essence of all hearts and all souls... This movie is about LOVE! The parents love for their children. I was an uncherished child and I am filled with the bitter sweet joy of being able to recognize the most beautiful unconditional love of family, only because I forever longed for the love my Mother never had for me. But now I know real love and am overflowing with unconditional love for all who need it the most. My ability to love is triumphant! I read the book The Lovely Bones by Alice Seibold years before the movie came out and it immediately became one of my favorites. The movie was a sincere honor to the book. I think they are both outstanding in their own rights! I'm so glad I found such beauty in this often unpleasant world. The Lovely Bones (book and movie) is unmatched and can never be done better. Peter Jackson deserves only praise. Thank you for letting me know that I need to thank him! Cheers!
+Elizabeth Polucha Your comment made me cry lol. I understood what you meant. My mother is a selfish, self centered person. She abused me and my younger sister, but luckily I had my grandmother to fill that void. My younger sister however, had only our great aunt who died from cancer when we were little, and my mother's sister who was an alcoholic prostitute. She is, and has been an unloved person her whole life. And is a very bitter person who is very afraid to be alone. I feel so guilty sometimes because I had someone to love me whereas she had my mother who is incapable f love, and the misguided efforts of an elderly, but beautiful women. And a women who was incapable of loving herself, but had the potential to be a good mother. Very, very sad. But such is life I suppose :) I am so glad you are so well adjusted and so beautiful :) I hope the universe showers you with love and happiness :)
Destiny Webb, thank you for your comment. What you wrote to me about the universe showering me with love and happiness made me cry because I have always felt I didn't deserve those things because I was never given them by anyone. My grand parents passed away when I was very little and no one took me away from my mother so I was forced to endure over 18 years of abuse and her constant brain washing. She told me everyday that I was never wanted, that she wished I was never born, that I was worth nothing, and no one would ever want me or love me. She told me that I was ugly and stupid and the only reason I was born was to take care of her. She was an alcoholic diabetic (type 1) and was in the hospital nearly once a week. She died when I was 21 and after she died I felt that I no longer served a purpose in this world. That was 24 years ago and I'm still suffering from what she did to me at times. Even now I have a boyfriend who one moment tells me he loves me, then the next says he doesn't care about me and I should leave. I only have love for him. I can't turn off my love like a light switch. My love is forever and I know I will always love him no matter what but it still hurts a lot to feel completely unloved. I'm working on a book about my childhood abuse which has been one of the most difficult things I have ever done. It hurts so much to put down on paper the truth of my past but just to be able to connect with someone else, (like you and your sister), who has also been in that dark unloved place, makes the pain of remembering so very worth it. Thank you for reminding me of what is really important and that my reason for being and my true path in this life is to tell my story and give hope to those who are still scared and suffering in their dark place. I've always told myself to never give up and you have given me renewed hope at a time when I was feeling that dark place creeping in around me. I will never forget your kind inspiring words and I wish the universe showers you with love and happiness as well! In earnest, Elizabeth
Elizabeth Polucha Thank you so much Elizabeth, you are truly a beautiful soul. And I hope one day karma returns what you deserve :) I truly believe those who are kind, and think of others will be rewarded in kind. I hope that comes soon for you, you deserve better. I understand that when you blame yourself and believe hurtful words, you will never forget them. But I hope you truly realize one day that you are not what your mother thought of you, but so much more than she could realize because she was damaged. And she saw in you someone or something she did not possess or was not capable of becoming, and was ashamed. I hope you never lose your insatiable love, but I truly wish for you the love that you give to be returned. From kindred soul to kindred, I wish for you fulfillment. I am so very glad that we connected with each other and both found some inspiration in the other :) I wish for you to find contentment and solace, truly :) Destiny :)
Fazia tempo que não ouvia essa musica, ela é linda, fazia parte da trilha sonora do filme beleza roubada, foi muito tempo há tempos minha lista de músicas 😍
The song that represents an escape from reality at its finest is, once again, the reminder that deep down there is no escape from the reality we all share and are subject to.
I gotta see this! Then again, anything that drops a Cocteau Twins track inside of it needs to be experienced. My favourite abstract ethereal band (and so much more) for all time.
Hearing this song brings back memories of the good old days when I would roam around browsing through second-hand record stores in order to find stuff just like this: B-sides to sold-out singles that seemingly no one's ever heard of. Way before record labels would shovel out "B-sides and rarities" box sets for every other band at ridiculous prices... well, and also way before you would just simply hit up amazon or iTunes and just type in a song's name - which however isn't the worst thing when it comes to music that would otherwise be friggin hard to find.
The first time i heard of this movie, I thought nothing of it. After watching it...i think it really fucked me up, especially cuz of this song. There's just something about it, its so weary and odd, but at the same so emotional and cathartic. I rewatched after 5 years, and i still feel the same way. I think this song is just 'too' real. This movie was 'too' real to handle, and ngl, the 1st time i watched The Lovely Bones, it frightened me. This song made me scared for my life... Such as underrated movie!
As someone who hasn't seen the movie I get to evaluate this music and video on it's own merit, and it is mesmerising and beautiful. Video is deep, but you have to know the symbolism.
Imagine writing and recording this song, then deciding it's not good enough to be anything other than a B-side. That's when you know your band has achieved near perfection.
In the 10CD box it has its own place... brilliant!
ME TOO!!!!
The Smiths " How Soon Is Now " & XTC " Dear God " we're both initially B-sides.
@dread true How about " Train In Vain " being uncredited on " London Calling " ? I had that Clash 7" Capital Radio with I Fought The Law on it. For a time , they really were " The Only Band That Matters "
Don't know what you mean by B-side. CT, or their record company, had this thing about releasing the same songs on a variety of collections.
This I feel is a bittersweet tribute to all the victims of kidnapping and murders out there. Rip all of you

Cocteau Twins is the best. ALL of their songs are otherwordly, this is a fine example💖
None of their songs make sense
YESSSSS I love every single one of their songs broooo
Cocteau Twins are a band.
I love how the rest of civilisation has finally caught up with the Cocteau Twins. It took a long , long time though
They still dont know
Thankfully, nobody ever caught on in a way that ruined them. Their legacy: perfect, undiluted, beautifully original music.❤️❤️❤️

One of the last songs made by the fabulous Cocteau Twins. One of their saddest ones too. Almost if they knew the end was near. Mesmerising stuff.
Just Me See I got a different feeling. This feels very dreamy and filled with memories.

I literaly couldint speak for 2 hours after watching this movie...truly a masterpeec.but damn...
this whole movie is like a dream
Ema Emily maybe just a little bit of both...
It's a strong reminder of a lifetime flashing across memories before reaching the point of death and seeing love on the other side.
And the dream is where you must belong.

JANUARY 2020.. STILL
A M A Z I N G 💙
Yeah! One of the most amazing films, almost a poetry and the song is like God love impressed of her voices, i love the film and i love the track!
@@Harder4everz TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU 💎
Fuck yess 🥰
Yep
Si si, June - 2020
this song gives me chills but it's sooo attracting for some reason. like it's so melodic.
It's good music, genuine. That's the effect it causes in a sensitive human.
this and mortal coil's song to the siren were such perfect choices for this moving film
"The Lovely Bones", as sad as it was, was visually beautiful poetry . . .
@Bigfoot I have not ... I would imagine that it's even darker and more beautiful than the film ...
@Bigfoot I hear ya - the film had an ethereal quality about it which, imho, beautifully offset the horror that befell Susie Salmon - will give the book a look 📚
I cried for 6 hours after the movie ended . It really got into my head
This is one of those movies that I have to emotionally prepare myself to rewatch, but I love it and keep feeling like I can fix the ending to make it happy. This song is so beautiful.
OK, so professional critics didn't love the film... but many film goers did - me included. Saoirse Ronan was superb as Susie.. I always knew she was going to be huge in the acting world, after watching her in Atonement and ICNBYW. What a talent!!!
Meh. I don't think it's a very good movie but I enjoyed it.
f you don't understand why its a bad film, go read the book. The first 45 minutes are brilliant, then, it jumps the tracks.
She was also good in the city of ember😂
Professional critics are usually disconnected with the audience.
little women
What a absolute beautiful film... Peter Jackson is a brilliant director... He made the JRR Tolkien book into 3 of the greatest films ever made...
This makes me cry
I can't explain the feelings this song evokes in me. I feel kinda depressed and melancholic, it makes me really, really sad after I watched the movie. But I just can't stop listening to it because it's such beautiful and magical... I'm in a very sad mood because of the song but I like this mood somehow... Idk this is weird
I just noticed how weird but beautiful Saoirse's eyes are
Eyes of an Angel...-^^
Lol how are they weird. They look fine
Oh, yeah. Saoirsie is not from our planet!
I know!! Her eyes are so gorgeous and they look unreal lol
One of Peter Jackson's best films... forget what people say about its comparison to the book... its an absolutely belting film... sad and dream like but brilliant.... watch it
Her voice is so hauntingly beautiful... probably my favorite singer out there ♡♡♡
Elizabeth Fraser is the queen angel.
She's Lurline, the fairy queen of Oz.Read "WICKED" by Gregory MacGuire.
I am from Russia and I fall in love in her voice!!!
Agreed
The best female voice
@@marcosusmelj8631 I suggest you to listen to Bel Canto, a group from Norway, and of course Dead can dance.
This Film is so underrated!
I'm in love with this movie and this strange and beautiful song. Something about it just draws me to it and it gives me this like deep feeling. It's hard to explain.
this movie and song are amazing
Definitely cried at this scene.
I always loved how warm and dreamy the scenes felt with their colors. So vivid and bright
Ce morceau est à l'image de Cocteau Twins, magnifique et intemporel. J'ai eu la chance de les voir en Bretagne, il y a 20 ans environ mais cela reste avant tout un groupe à écouter au calme, en contemplant un paysage, la mer. Un bonheur musical.
Listening in bed with my beloved cat. He's purring as am I. CT forever. I love them so much...think I'm obsessed and have been for 40 years now.
Nikki, can I jump in bed? Alice, Alice …
@@nonprofitgirl lol!
I really don't care about the film so much as the way this song just goes so well with the imagery. It's like each, although created independently of each other, they were made for each other and they're destiny was to find each other some day.
I know your comment is 4 years old. Hopefully you are doing well. Your post was very fitting. The song and the video were like soul mates. Created independently but meant to be together. So fitting.
Making hairs stand on end these acoustic variations feel like oscillating musical notes pouring strait through my soul as if crosses through heavens gates. Undoubtedly a perfect fit for that very articulately haunting yet beautiful movie.
this lady's voice is nuts
Esse filme me marcou profundamente 😩😩😩
there's no official video for this song...Alice appeared firstly in Bertolucci's movie called "Stealing Beauty" where Liv Tyler is crying while the song is played.
musicaeternal That movie actually brought me here 😂
Right, you can hear Liz singing the name of a character from "Stealing Beauty" - Niccoló Donati - at the beginning of the song.
Stealing Beauty…my favorite movie
The first time I heard this song, was in the Lovely bones by Peter Jackson. Now I can't get it out of my head. The voices and singing are beautiful, and it fits in with the book and film and makes it even more emotional.
Reading the comments, I must say that this movie is as beautiful as sad, I can't understand how a horrible topic in a movie (or the book) can be such a beautiful piece of art, you simply can't feel that sadness while reading it/watching the movie, I mean, Peter Jackson did magic while making this movie, It's hard for me to explain this...
The first time I heard this song I was 15, in “Stealing Beauty”, a magnificent film, nostalgic and timeless. I cannot get over this song ever after
Yes, me too - 15, the 90s ❤
I picked this movie from my recommended list on Netflix. Little did I know the feel-trip I was in for.
The book does the same thing
Marli Netflix removed it for a while but it is back, I absolutely adore this movie but my grandmother doesn’t because she doesn’t want to think that there are people like that who get away with the murder...
Nexflix remove again, I cant found the movie
Netflix doesnt have it anymore cuz it's an HBO property I think?
genuinly one of the most beautiful songs I know
Uma grande amiga, Maria Aparecida Marchi, me apresentou a banda. Hoje vejo o quanto são ricas as músicas e o vocal maravilhoso.
Esta canção transcende as imagens do filme, é como se eu me sentisse na visão da personagem, morta e em um lugar distante do plano material. É um misto de paz com melancolia, difícil de compreender.
Tenho a mesma sensação. Esse filme mexe muito com meu emocional 😭
Faz 4 dias que eu voltei a assistir.
Que filme foda.
História triste.
Concordo com vc , quanto a está canção.
A canção é pouco com relação a história do filme.
História triste...muito triste!
Sou mãee, vcs que são tomem conta de suas filhas.
Existem vagabundos por aí.
alice was a Cocteau twins b side as such it never appeared on milk and kisses the Cocteau twins never sold out with b sides from albums they were always new songs the b sides were all amazing as well sometimes better than what was on the album so its unfair to call them b sides, just fantastic music we will never see the likes of the Cocteau twins again so original and unique you will not listen to anything better.
I still dream for the Green album.
it was an old song
I heard it before then when it was on stealing beauty I looked for the japanese import which had 'alice' as one of the trax
Cocteau twins is brilliant!
whoever put this together.. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much with the highest gratitude.
+Anthony Redd Its from the film 'The Lovely Bones' by director Peter Jackson.
The otherworldly images suit this otherworldly song.
Liz's vocals are heavenly. I'm transported to a better place instantly. Beautiful
soundseeker63 They're all from a movie called The Lovely Bones if you didn't already know :)
Gorgeous song. Heartbreaking film. x
I so addicted to your angelic voices
this movie, the book that inspired it, are so sad and brilliant... I cried a lot with them both
This is like morphine to a exhausted soul...
I’m not exhausted wtf
🖤
If this does not make you feel goose bumps nothing will Beautiful out of this world music. Liz is a Goddess.
linda musica, alguem ouvindo em 2021 ai ?
the lovely bones was a great movie.
This song was used in the movie Stealing Beauty years before its use in The Lovely Bones.
This movie looks incredible. Definitely give it a watch
Most emotional song i ever heard...depressing and wonderful at the same time, cuts are mixed together... a strange perception of death, like a dream
Absolument magnifique sur de pures émotions vertigineusement nobles ! Merci !
Movie was so amazing. But the book was even better. I am glad I got to see the movie first and see how different they were. Both were amazing!
The heart wrenching loneliness depicted by the music and the imagery shatters me.
HER VOICE ...
resonates so deep into every fiber of my soul!
If you have not, listen to Tear Drop from Massive Attack, Liz sings on that one.
And she was dating Jeff Buckley ! Imagine their child.
The most beautiful you ever Heard isn't?
happy 10 year birthday to this video!!!
Thank you !
I still can not believe that i live in world and time when i able to hear this. Cocteau Twins bring so much to me, i am happy that i am the one who really felt it from inside, this feels better than any other thing, even its say about death
Just saw the movie. Very impressive and very well acted by excellent actors.
Thrilling and spiritual. Supported by the right music.
The end of this movie is so, so sad.
So sad :(
Nunca vi o filme...mas sou fã dos twins desde 1988, desde do "vegas" album ... Eles e os dead can dance sao do melhor.
One of the reasons I still listen to this song, other than it's ethereal beauty, is that not only is my town the one that they spoke of in the book, but that I almost became a victim to a predator while walking the cornfield in my town, Norristown, Pa.
I loved this movie, and I don't get all of the hate. It was gorgeously filmed, sweet, funny and heartbreaking. The book was even more so. I think people tend to compare everything Peter Jackson does to the LOTR trilogy, which is unfair.
I didn't know Peter Jackson was involved with the Lovely Bones! I guess in certain cases ignorance truly is bliss. But I will always hold this movie in my heart of hearts because it is about that which is the essence of all hearts and all souls... This movie is about LOVE! The parents love for their children. I was an uncherished child and I am filled with the bitter sweet joy of being able to recognize the most beautiful unconditional love of family, only because I forever longed for the love my Mother never had for me. But now I know real love and am overflowing with unconditional love for all who need it the most. My ability to love is triumphant!
I read the book The Lovely Bones by Alice Seibold years before the movie came out and it immediately became one of my favorites. The movie was a sincere honor to the book. I think they are both outstanding in their own rights! I'm so glad I found such beauty in this often unpleasant world. The Lovely Bones (book and movie) is unmatched and can never be done better. Peter Jackson deserves only praise. Thank you for letting me know that I need to thank him!
Cheers!
+Elizabeth Polucha Your comment made me cry lol. I understood what you meant. My mother is a selfish, self centered person. She abused me and my younger sister, but luckily I had my grandmother to fill that void. My younger sister however, had only our great aunt who died from cancer when we were little, and my mother's sister who was an alcoholic prostitute. She is, and has been an unloved person her whole life. And is a very bitter person who is very afraid to be alone. I feel so guilty sometimes because I had someone to love me whereas she had my mother who is incapable f love, and the misguided efforts of an elderly, but beautiful women. And a women who was incapable of loving herself, but had the potential to be a good mother. Very, very sad. But such is life I suppose :) I am so glad you are so well adjusted and so beautiful :) I hope the universe showers you with love and happiness :)
Destiny Webb, thank you for your comment. What you wrote to me about the universe showering me with love and happiness made me cry because I have always felt I didn't deserve those things because I was never given them by anyone. My grand parents passed away when I was very little and no one took me away from my mother so I was forced to endure over 18 years of abuse and her constant brain washing. She told me everyday that I was never wanted, that she wished I was never born, that I was worth nothing, and no one would ever want me or love me. She told me that I was ugly and stupid and the only reason I was born was to take care of her. She was an alcoholic diabetic (type 1) and was in the hospital nearly once a week. She died when I was 21 and after she died I felt that I no longer served a purpose in this world. That was 24 years ago and I'm still suffering from what she did to me at times. Even now I have a boyfriend who one moment tells me he loves me, then the next says he doesn't care about me and I should leave. I only have love for him. I can't turn off my love like a light switch. My love is forever and I know I will always love him no matter what but it still hurts a lot to feel completely unloved. I'm working on a book about my childhood abuse which has been one of the most difficult things I have ever done. It hurts so much to put down on paper the truth of my past but just to be able to connect with someone else, (like you and your sister), who has also been in that dark unloved place, makes the pain of remembering so very worth it. Thank you for reminding me of what is really important and that my reason for being and my true path in this life is to tell my story and give hope to those who are still scared and suffering in their dark place. I've always told myself to never give up and you have given me renewed hope at a time when I was feeling that dark place creeping in around me. I will never forget your kind inspiring words and I wish the universe showers you with love and happiness as well!
In earnest,
Elizabeth
Elizabeth Polucha Thank you so much Elizabeth, you are truly a beautiful soul. And I hope one day karma returns what you deserve :) I truly believe those who are kind, and think of others will be rewarded in kind. I hope that comes soon for you, you deserve better. I understand that when you blame yourself and believe hurtful words, you will never forget them. But I hope you truly realize one day that you are not what your mother thought of you, but so much more than she could realize because she was damaged. And she saw in you someone or something she did not possess or was not capable of becoming, and was ashamed. I hope you never lose your insatiable love, but I truly wish for you the love that you give to be returned. From kindred soul to kindred, I wish for you fulfillment. I am so very glad that we connected with each other and both found some inspiration in the other :) I wish for you to find contentment and solace, truly :)
Destiny :)
f you don't understand why its a bad film, go read the book. The first 45 minutes are brilliant, then, it jumps the tracks.
2020 and still listening to it ❤️
the lovely bones is one of my favorite movies!!
I love that movie. The lovely bones is one of my favorites
this movie is the one of the most emotional movies ive ever seen..
Wow! I love the effects in this film clip! Really LOVE Elizabeth Fraser's singing!!! Divine!!
Fazia tempo que não ouvia essa musica, ela é linda, fazia parte da trilha sonora do filme beleza roubada, foi muito tempo há tempos minha lista de músicas 😍
beautiful movie, exceptional track!
Capolavoro assoluto di musica e immagini.
The song that represents an escape from reality at its finest is, once again, the reminder that deep down there is no escape from the reality we all share and are subject to.
I gotta see this! Then again, anything that drops a Cocteau Twins track inside of it needs to be experienced. My favourite abstract ethereal band (and so much more) for all time.
Liz Fraser....ANGELO....,35 ANNI CHE ASCOLTO COCTEAU TWINS E IL CUIRE VIBRA .
Hearing this song brings back memories of the good old days when I would roam around browsing through second-hand record stores in order to find stuff just like this: B-sides to sold-out singles that seemingly no one's ever heard of.
Way before record labels would shovel out "B-sides and rarities" box sets for every other band at ridiculous prices... well, and also way before you would just simply hit up amazon or iTunes and just type in a song's name - which however isn't the worst thing when it comes to music that would otherwise be friggin hard to find.
Simply stunning
Linda música! Linda voz !
Peter Jackson is one of the best director we have ! Alice is also great in Stealing Beauty by Bernardo Bertolucci
One of the most Beautiful videos, with the most beautiful music.
The first time i heard of this movie, I thought nothing of it. After watching it...i think it really fucked me up, especially cuz of this song. There's just something about it, its so weary and odd, but at the same so emotional and cathartic. I rewatched after 5 years, and i still feel the same way. I think this song is just 'too' real. This movie was 'too' real to handle, and ngl, the 1st time i watched The Lovely Bones, it frightened me. This song made me scared for my life...
Such as underrated movie!
Well said brother
Their voices are so angelic, ominous, brooding, and pure. I’ve been listening to this for months now UwU
Check out Victorialand by them
Not their, Her voice, is one person
It's Elizabeth Fraser
@@devonripley7862 Ahh, thank you! I totally thought I was listening to twins singing lol
@@devonripley7862 they can refer to one person though
It’s just one voice;) But you are right other than that !!
As someone who hasn't seen the movie I get to evaluate this music and video on it's own merit, and it is mesmerising and beautiful. Video is deep, but you have to know the symbolism.
Amo está canción, la película son una obra maestra 😭😭
J ai eu tous leurs albums voix magnifique et magique 🦄
Just so hauntingly beautiful!
Liz’s voice is just perfect for this song!😍
Liz's vocal range is wild, those low notes make my heart drop
I miss the comfort and the melancholy of being a kid.
I'm pretty sure we all do. :(
Cocteau Twins my favorite group on the 4AD label always rated them shame they split marvelous outfit👍🏿😻👁👀
The first time I saw this movie and listened to Cocteau Twins ... I cried.
This song is so sad, imagine if lost in this strange world .... leaving my loved ones, all things weird and scary, alone ...
