65 yo. Contemplating a combined angiogram/ angioplasty/stent. Needed some melancholia to release the rarely seen man-tears. This song and others. Sobbed for two hours. And again now after successful procedure and its transformative effect. Don’t let Tories steal your NHS. Carpe.

I could hear Cocteau Twins in 1991, in Brazil, on the day I went, the device that made the effects broke. Without it the shakes up, Elizabeth Fraser, just started to do the effects, right there, live, while the audience sang ecstatically. I was there, the one meter that little "giant" singer. Unforgettable.

I have been musing upon this song for the past week. I (like many others I suspect) thought it was written and performed by This Mortal Coil. Imagine my delight as the fog lifted and I saw and heard(!) Tim Buckley's performance of his song on tele back in 1968. I have since come to the conclusion that Liz Frazer is the siren sung of, singing her belated, but never too late, side of the story. Tim's side is beautifully human: doubtful, joyous, singular, in thrall. In a nutshell, I can't split them - his sublime anguish, her lonely response.
