Delish! In the '80s, I had nearly the entire 4AD catalog, on vinyl!

Yess love her. Her voice is a solo heavenly choir. I had no idea she dated Jeff Buckley and made music with him. According to some she was pissed that this song was released because it was an unfinished, very intimate song that they made just before he died, but I'm glad it was released (sorry Elizabeth). It's too beautiful to be hidden from the world forever.

I like Sinead O’Connor’s “song to the siren.” Good trippy song for her.

Liz Fraser, Harriet Wheeler and Tracey Thorn are the three absolute goddesses of this kind of dream pop.

Emily Gilmore has said that her daughter Lorelai was conceived after a Cocteau Twins concert at the Hollywood Bowl, she named her daughter after the song.
