The Cocteau Twins were the enigmatic band’s enigmatic band. You can listen to all of their recorded output without wanting to know what Elizabeth Fraser is singing. Which is interesting because when you discover what they are, you truly appreciate its power and versatility. This song is about Fraser’s pregnancy and childbirth, and it, and the album it was pulled from ‘Heaven Or Las Vegas’ marked a departure in songwriting for Fraser, inasmuch as she began using more concrete lyrics, as opposed to the more abstract approach she’d adopted before. Lovely stuff.
