[@chrislj2005]

23 April 1991,I was walking by the Teatro Opera in Buenos Aires and I see the posters advertising the show for Cocteau Twins. I hadn´t ever heard anything of their stuff; all I knew was that they were a band of the 8o´s and British and darkish and dense and unlike any other.But I didn´t know just how much.I hung around the city centre until show time and bought a ticket.I was amazed to see a full house.Amazed that they had no drummer and was mesmerized by Guthrie´s sound and Elizabeth´s voice. Matter of fact, a guy kept on shouting to her "I love you Elizabeth!". And just as it had started,that massive wall of sound ended. They left without any encores and I was swiftly out in the street once more, walking zombie like back home.One of those shows you never forget.

[@simonedovale8702]

saw this wonderful show in Brazil during the same tour. Met Elisabeth at the press conference, what an angel

[@tullulah5294]

[@yorguenaut4499]

This has to be -without a doubt- one of the most incredible songs ever created. The calming effect it has is amazing. The power of Liz on the lyrics is from another world, and the beat is unbeliavable. I will forever enjoy this piece.

[@DFMACK]

It really has stood up.

[@franckaveline7345]

The beat sounds like a heartbeat ! That's why the "calming effect" is powerfull.

[@p.r.5421]

you're absolutely right. No more to add

[@SmollCannolli]

She had stated it’s a song reflecting about her failing relationship with Jeff Buckley. She was recording it when he went missing.

[@keithwillb5691]

Elizabeth, rightly, gets praised for her mesmerising voice, but never for her beautiful melodies. The melody in ‘Teardrop’ is so memorable. Go have a listen to the instrumental version. It’s just isn’t anywhere near as good.

[@stevemcgrath9299]

Probably one of the best and utterly mesmerising voices ever.

[@phlypped]

I believe you are correct

[@timacann]

I truest believe she’s from another planet

[@rogerwalters9557]

Elizabeth is a perfect match for Massive Attack. Such a cool collaboration.

[@ChristinaMaria]

I heard this song first when I was 11 years old and it hit me in the heart. I’m now about to have a baby and have been through a lot in my pregnancy and listening to this song again has made me connect with the baby inside me in a way I have no words for. I just started singing along with her and something happened spiritually here today. Thank you so much for this beautiful other worldly song 🙏🏼

[@kevinmacgregor5831]

birth is a true miracle .. music is the strongest creator of emotion ... your child will not fail to embrace your emotion ..

[@billida]

I saw them 6 or 7 times back in the day. Best was the Paris Zenith for 4 calendar cafe. I didn’t get to see Kate so I’m happy with Liz !

[@alunepps4272]

I saw her with the twins in 80s and attack in 90s. Rare creature she is

[@keithwillb5691]

I love that Elizabeth is so immersed in the song in the outro, you can’t take your eyes off her. I’m guessing that’s what Robin Guthrie saw when he asked her to join the Cocteau Twins on that fateful night, 40 years ago, when he spotted her dancing, on her own, in that club in Grangemouth. Pure bliss.

Not quite true. One person, Mushroom, wanted her to do the vocal. The other two wanted Liz . Madonna was sad not to get it but also, didn't Liz Fraser write the lyrics. It was shortly after her partner had died.

[@Oddworld2024]

My god she sounded even better then on the album... and the higher key change was also nice.
