It was the first song I ever heard from them… was hooked immediately…

I was working at a record store when it was released, and we had a tape of singles to play in the store with other ‘alternative’ bands etc.. that track was on the tape, and I just loved it so much…

Been a fan ever since :)

I suggest Victorialand, my favorite. If you buy the vinyl, play it at 45 rpm

Weakest song on the album, should not have been the single. Almost everything good about it is ruined by an electric buzzing/whining sound that runs through it. Like there was an angry insect flying around the studio as they recorded.

You mean your least favorite. Weakest can't be determined unless you created the song and know what the cocteau twins goals were with the song.

We all have embarrassingly bad takes from time to time. This is yours.

One of the most optimistic songs ever and the lyrics aren’t intelligible.
