Cocteau Twins - Sugar Hiccup [RARE-1984]

Scotland | Dreampop, Ethereal (1983, "Head Over Heels")

[@233Runner]

It’s 2023 and this music is still mesmerizing.

[@sonial1839]

When you have one of the best voices ever, and you make her go playback

[@santanapylesss2407]

Liz Fraser's voice is so grounding and cathartic. One of the best bands to ever exist. I swear🖤

[@SuperChipperson]

Tis a very great song

[@santanapylesss2407]

​@TalorcMcAllanthat's amazing!!!😮🙏💜 I'm genuinely jealous. I bet seeing them live back in the day was a religious experience...I cry just listening to recordings. Lol I bet you have some amazing stories and judging by your musical taste you must be a cool person. I hope life is treating you well!

[@weeniehutjunior]

Elizabeth Fraser is a national treasure

[@EclecticoIconoclasta]

Hopefully Scotland will be independent soon and she will be one of her national treasures

[@talkingmudcrab718]

You've never ever been as high as Robin Guthrie.

[@jobeatthedrivein]

Literally why they split up innit

[@AlexM-uo9gk]

I have but didn't come up with anything close to this...

[@nc5809]

I nearly died trying.

[@johnjung-simard3234]

This song is about a horse who died.

[@stephentruthershields3615]

Cocteau twins have stopped me from suicide... they are my spiritual angels.

[@3264headtrip]

37 years on and it remains as mesmerizing as the first time my ears heard the Cocteau Twins. Wonderful & Timeless.

[@CharlesMichaelSidwell]

I could listen to her voice forever

[@beravera5824]

me too

[@simonradnedge2693]

I first overheard this whilst staying at a friend’s in Bradford in 1984. Hungover in the morning and heard from somewhere else in the house, I thought This is the music I’ve been waiting for all my life. And so it’s turned out to be. When all of us listening to this are dead, CT music will carry on and still have relevance. It’s pretty special.

[@terebi916]

I can't help but love her "beat myself with my fists" dance style... that's the real folk blues right there

Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren

[@arca-ngel]

she's insane i love it

[@Northseacrashes]

I thought I had seen every TV performance they had ever done, so this is a real treat! It's a shame they're miming, and Liz has decided she's not gonna mime every single part of the song, but it's so wonderful to see. They will always be my favourite band, no other has come close.

[@kumadog910]

I can replay this song forever, it feels so warm her voice is so mesmerizing

[@jessicamyers9557]

Everything about their music and artistry is just so captivating! So so lucky to have found them, definitely my new favorite band.

[@markjackson5665]

That’s great news! I first heard them 40 years ago on John Peel’s radio show during a snowy drive home at night. Listen to “Wax and Wane” from their Garlands album and you can imagine how it felt.

[@jessicamyers9557]

@@markjackson5665 That sounds so dreamy! I have been listening to all their music nonstop haha. So glad that we have this music, love driving to it also. It snowed where I'm at recenty and I was listening to the Victorialand album. Great stuff!

[@theimplicitorderyoutube]

I love her restrained anger.... you can just FEEL IT in this "performance'.

[@klocke5247]

You mean pissed because they made her lip sync? Probably. Notice she didn't bother half the time.

[@theimplicitorderyoutube]

@@klocke5247 Probably. 😉

[@RoddyLovely]

Yes, she is not pleasing the audience.

[@iron-gamerstv]

This is what an Angel looks like. 🥰

[@Tommy-gr2ez]

The good ole days. Hard to believe it's been 35 years. Still sounds amazing. Always will..

[@jackb2491]

[@pumasgoya]

Yup

This was my intro to the Cocteau's back in 84...still sounds magnificent

Why are they perfect

[@stevemolloy6922]

How can you not love her?

[@user-wr8qk1cm7i]

Eternal music keep on shining.

[@diggerthegroundhog8799]

I don't know what made my heart melt faster, Liz's eyes or her voice.

[@danielsantana9448]

i was 16 ( now 39) working at applebees of all places and one of my old coworker got me into this band he knew i was punk emo kid that loved the smiths and knew i would like this he was wrong i love it

[@jeffreyp1855]

Daniel, fifty years old here and I got right into the Cocteau Twins in the mid-1980s. Weirdly enough, I listened to a lot of metal as well (Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, Maiden etc.) but was obsessed with British Alt music. CT being one of my all time favorites as well as early Dead Can Dance. Lisa Gerard has a voice that rivals Fraser's in it's beauty. Two of my favorite, all time female vocalists! 🤘🏻

[@spensert4933]

that;s far from planet cocteau

[@steeny01]

@@spensert4933 I seen them live in the marquee soho London 1985 , was mesmerised, then found out liz was Scottish , love her vocals , simply the best , great collaboration on massive attacks Teardrop !! Go listen Top tune !

[@yvvngopium1875]

how was life back then

[@lupodelupis3672]

This is my favourite song on the masterpiece that is still "Head Over Heels".

[@georgievelyn714]

I love this song with all my heart

[@worldprojector7757]

Liz and Robin are to me the epitome of artistic genius. Grateful to appreciate them in this life.

[@jimplaysric]

The Cocteaus were still in their "Liz smacking herself" phase here

[@kieferrichardson8324]

I would love to hear the actual audio from this performance, and not just the studio recording :/

[@eboethrasher]

There's no audio as the guitars are not even plugged in.

[@mircograssilli1014]

I saw them live twice, 1986 and 1993. I still hope to see them once again together before to pass away.

[@reinholdschiess2096]

One of the best bands

[@klocke5247]

As you may have noticed, Frazier was lip syncing to the studio recording. That's the requirement for many of these TV shows. She didn't play along for parts of it.

[@Brokenface]

The voice and the instruments.... What a beautiful sound🥹🥹

[@bobjackson6524]

Firstly, Ive been drawn into this tune tonight from the radio earlier. Now im at the table at home, After my tea, And a cpl of ciders, After wrk, Its 11:15 pm, Satdy night, So i refer back to this deep deep perfection i heard earlier, I stumble on this vid, By all acounts is one of the best by these legends. And im.watching, And im in tears Its just so timeless, The wsy its grabbed me, And just dragged me back FORTY YEARS to when i was 8yrs old. Just learning music from.my older sis who was 14, And massivly into these, and soft cell, and the cure, and suixie.... AMIDST AN INVASION, of bboys music from the u.s... Massivly changing times then, For many, many reasons... And this tunes just draggedme back there, To feel the EXACT same feelings we had bsck then, Just afte our Dad had died, Just before my sister left, Just before everything i knew just failed, Just beford i discovered acid house on the bounce from deep electro, Fucking hell, As if life wasnt complicated enough back then in simple times, NOW LOOK AT US. 😣😣😣😣😣😣😣 God bless these times, And all that sailed in em 💖

[@Machster10]

Amazingly beautiful, dynamic and projective vocals.

[@birdduckylucky2894]

I was one when this came out 🤣 atleast a year before this I still had my wings or so I seem to firmly believe I wonder how rare that is people who are so extremely sure and make no compromise about them being angels before they ended up here like I did. I don't want to sound ironic or sound like a dreamer I just feel it all the time I always feel it I would bet you that I'm right but of course it's obvious that I would given that you already know that about me.

“THEY COME” Right at the end.

The Los Angeles Palladium ...I'm thinking 1985 -1986. So long ago it's difficult to remember the date. Drum recorder malfunctioned yet still was very cool. I was about 16 yr old.

I've no idea of the source for this clip and the Pearly... that accompanies it - somehow in all these years I've never seen them before - but they rival the Whistle Test & Amsterdam '83 clips as the most wonderful Cocteau Twins footage in existence.

[@ralphdimagiba2879]

I remember this being aired on Swedish tv to promote a 4AD night live gig in Stockholm. Also present and performed on the tv show were Modern English, Xmal Deutschland and Dead Can Dance. Sadly, all the band's performance were mimed.
