A beautiful song from Cocteau Twins! Cocteau Twins - Heaven Or Las Vegas cover: • Cocteau Twins - Heaven... recorded at Svod in 2020 vocals - / worldquiet sound - / ffaraday108
I don’t even know what to say. Having seen this band in concert A few times in the 90s, this might as well been the actual band. the Voice really blew me out of the water. Probably one of the hardest bands to cover and replicate, you guys did this to perfection.
I literally never comment on videos, but I do fall easily into Cocteau Twins video rabbit holes and came across this video. This is amazingly ridiculous. Thank you for sharing!
The Royal Society of Covers (I am sure it exists in some Kingdom ... and if not today is the day to invent it) should confer the Annual Award for Best Cover to this rendition. Really wonderful!
OMG. I have to repeat the previous comment from two years ago…. ‘ I don’t know if you realize how amazing this cover really is’. Absolute WOW! The guitar, the bass, the background music, your voice, absolutely amazing! OMG…. 💥❤️🥹
@@TheVideoLounge me too at Brixton Academy. The only thing missing here is the bit at the start of each song when that big bearded guy would lean over and tap a button on the drum machine to start it going.
This is just otherworldly and left barely able to comprehend what I’m hearing…having trouble even describing how incredible this is, it needs no explanation
I truly admire your creative courage to cover the Cocteau Twins. The abstruse vocals coupled with the emulated guitar effects of Guthrie...Well done all.
Fantastic work by both guitarists, but...the real borderline-miracle of this cover is the vocalist's transcendent performance. It's not identical, but it's flawless. You got there. So well done. Thank you. Great to hear this "live."
Not many bands would be brave enough to cover a Cocteau's song but you guys nailed it. I've loved them since 83/84and it's lovely to see the young generation keeping the flame alive. The vocals on this is absolutely tremendous.
Sublime. The shimmering guitars. The vocals. Spot on, but also your own. Absolutely blown away. What an amazing cover of an incredibly difficult song to pull off live
I was 💯 hardcore metal/punk in the 80s and my best friend was too but he had other tastes as well and when he forced me to sit and listen to the entire blue bell knoll album my musical world changed! My other friends ripped on us Soo much and it sucked but me and Gary never stopped being open minded to different genres, and to that im eternally grateful to for that gift.. and we got to see them live 2x for the four calendar cafe tour..i miss him Soo much and desperately want him to see this, he would've flipped out how amazing this is! Rip my dear friend❤️
So spot on beautiful....there is virtually nothing more righteous and honorable than giving props to Liz by means of such a faithful and lovely cover... massively awesome job, guys...
Wow...Just that...wow. I saw the Cocteaus tour this album in the late 80s & that was a seminal moment for me & you guys have done Liz & the boys massive justice with this cover. Absolutely nailed it. Dave, 52 in Manchester.
You guys did a great job. I’m a big fan of the Cocteau Twins I heard them in the 80s the music stuck in my mind and I’m very grateful that these people like you that appreciate and understand great music keep doing what you’re doing. God bless.
It’s the new year and I’m now realising blue is the warmest Color. The force of love is such that a manget has formed in my heart for the girl with the angel voice and hair of striking blue. Oh pls don’t flow so fast…
Oh you guys are fantastic, really. So young, so awesome. Never heard someone did it really so good, it makes me do something, I'll share it with my kidos so they can hear what is awesomeness!
A yeoman's effort fine musicians. As most commenters have stated, no one can cover the Cocteau Twins, impossible. But you nearly made the impossible possible.
When I saw this (never heard of these guys) I thought yeah, right, dream on. She isn't going to be able to cover oh wow, she's doing it. Good job. Those are some hard ranges.
Wow! First the chords and then your angelic and mesmerizing voice. I have chills and just subscribed and must listen to everything by you. YOU have an amazing gift. Elisabeth Fraser would be in so awe of your beauty and youthfulness.
you mean of Carolyn's Fingers or all of them? CF - absolutely! I don't think Liz ever sang this track very well live but there are a lot of stellar live CT versions on youtube, check out Orange Appled or Pandora :) or this concert is pretty amazing czcams.com/video/ijDrNshmn2c/video.html&ab_channel=CocteauBuff that all being said, yes, this cover is great!!
A lot of the later live material suffers from the turmoil Liz and Robin's personal relationship was going through at that time. The more successful they got, the more unhappy they became as a band.
You guys are incredible, the tune itself is different but true to the original and the vocals hit all those high notes perfectly. Definitely not an easy song to cover!
It’s great to know that there’s actually the younger generation that is listening to this. Great band love them I saw them Lots of times in New York and Elizabeth Fraser is not the easiest voice to do it all
Wow I freakin love this cover actually all your covers but this one surprises me didnt expect you can pull off carolyn's fingers so cool and suits your style.
I had to listen to this a few times over a month to have it kind of grow on me. The delays and reverb threw me first few times, but then I started to get it.
Great job all of you. Fantastic! I had to edit this comment because being a CT fan since 1984 I have seen a lot of covers and am really happy that more and more are doing so, that being said, I have now watched a couple of your videos and am hopefully loving that they are live recordings and not edited because it is really refreshing to hear your versions done live. They are not perfect reproductions, they are your own and I love that. Cheers
This gave me chills. It's no easy task to cover Cocteau Twins.
Chorus, reverb, delay and then some more reverb...👍🇩🇪
@@sandrabecht4489 but still good
Same
@@sandrabecht4489 and you sing like that with all those effects?
@@sandrabecht4489 if you don´t have that voice and you dpn´t know how to use it, the effects means nothing.
I admit it: I was expecting the worst. However, this cover is darn near phenomenal!
I don’t think anyone realizes how good this cover really is. Thank you for sharing it!
I do. It's stunning.
it’s exilent
Some of us know.
I do.
It is really good
This one is definitely the best Cocteau Twins cover that I've listened
It's good, but you have to listen a certain cover of "Garlands", search it...
I don’t even know what to say.
Having seen this band in concert A few times in the 90s, this might as well been the actual band. the Voice really blew me out of the water.
Probably one of the hardest bands to cover and replicate, you guys did this to perfection.
😃 THEY SURE DID, IT WAS BRILLIANT WASN'T IT 😃.
💯
I literally never comment on videos, but I do fall easily into Cocteau Twins video rabbit holes and came across this video. This is amazingly ridiculous. Thank you for sharing!
🐇 COCTEAU TWINS VIDEO RABBIT HOLES 🐰 ~
❤️ MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU SARAH FOR THIS PARTICULAR SONG & VIDEO👍
🌼 IT'S 🌸 GREAT 🌻 ISN'T 🌹 IT 🏵.
That’s so funny, I also regularly fall down the CT Rabbit Holes!

This sounds more like Cocteau Twins than the real Band sounded live :)
Depends on the periods ^^ I saw Liz singing this during the Blue Bell Knoll tour and it was out of this world.
Indeed, I saw them on the Heaven or Las Vegas tour and the whole band were phenomenal.
@@TheVideoLounge me too at Brixton Academy. The only thing missing here is the bit at the start of each song when that big bearded guy would lean over and tap a button on the drum machine to start it going.
I've often wondered, how do you cover the Cocteau Twins?
Just like this apparently, nice.
You don't need very good diction.
I've never left a comment on CZcams before, but I have tears in my eyes while doing so!
This is just otherworldly and left barely able to comprehend what I’m hearing…having trouble even describing how incredible this is, it needs no explanation
I truly admire your creative courage to cover the Cocteau Twins. The abstruse vocals coupled with the emulated guitar effects of Guthrie...Well done all.
WOW.
Very well done. The strings and voice were astounding.
And your drummer's skill at invisibility is nothing short of impressive.
I never thought anyone could do it or even have the audacity to try. Bravo, top notch cover.
Fantastic work by both guitarists, but...the real borderline-miracle of this cover is the vocalist's transcendent performance. It's not identical, but it's flawless. You got there. So well done. Thank you. Great to hear this "live."

You have achieved the impossible. Time stands still when this video plays.
Sublime. The shimmering guitars. The vocals. Spot on, but also your own. Absolutely blown away. What an amazing cover of an incredibly difficult song to pull off live
Excellent cover, well done
W O W
....Said the 50 year old Dad whom has seen them live !
Came in as a skeptic, left as a believer. Thank you for the amazing performance
WOW I was sifting through Cocteau Twins videos and stumbled upon this. I had to give it a watch. This was amazing!!!
Love this! Cocteau Twins forever!🖤
This is my favourite song and I would not have imagined anyone could have done it justice. You did a brilliant job. Amazed.
Thank you for refreshing Cocteau in this world..
This cover is on another level, MAGNIFICO!!!
Liz was scheduled to play in Chicago just prior to the COVID close.
This is really really good. I'd watch a show of yours in a heartbeat.
Very nice performance. I'm 50 and grew up with this music and I appreciate how you've interpreted it.
Amazing !
A french fan's of CT
CONGRATULATIONS
Wow....I was thinking...is it really possible to cover Liz's voice? Yes...it seems possible! Such a lovely song...well, they have so many.....
All the WOW I can give!! This is masterful!
I can't believe how good that was, WOW. Thought that song was untouchable until now. heart emoji.
Wow! Chills and tears. Wow.
I am utterly blown away by this!! Wow! Doing the CT legends justice and then some!!!
I was 💯 hardcore metal/punk in the 80s and my best friend was too but he had other tastes as well and when he forced me to sit and listen to the entire blue bell knoll album my musical world changed!

So spot on beautiful....there is virtually nothing more righteous and honorable than giving props to Liz by means of such a faithful and lovely cover... massively awesome job, guys...
No small feat to take on this song vocally, lyrically and stylistically. It was gorgeous. I can only imagine that Cocteau Twins would feel honored.
oh my lord, recorded bass and drums, 2 guitars and a beautiful voice, what else u need. Brilliant!
Amazing! Why didn’t I see this earlier! Goosebumps
I am listening to Cocteau Twins more than 3 decades, but your performance gives me goosebumps !
We had blue bell knoll on vinyl when it 1st came out. I am glad to see that you guys are not wearing shoes in the house
Valiant effort. 90% of the way there, which is more than I could say for most. Much respect.
Wow...Just that...wow.
I saw the Cocteaus tour this album in the late 80s & that was a seminal moment for me & you guys have done Liz & the boys massive justice with this cover.
Absolutely nailed it.
Dave, 52 in Manchester.
Boss, goosebumpy kind of vibe, hairs on the back of my neck, bloody brilliant.
You guys did a great job. I’m a big fan of the Cocteau Twins I heard them in the 80s the music stuck in my mind and I’m very grateful that these people like you that appreciate and understand great music keep doing what you’re doing. God bless.
Beautiful vocals and amazing guitar work!
Never thought any one could do this justice, great cover.
Amazing!!!!!!!!
Congratulations!!!!!
My Fave Band !!!!
Hi from Brazil
I can’t get enough.
It’s the new year and I’m now realising blue is the warmest Color. The force of love is such that a manget has formed in my heart for the girl with the angel voice and hair of striking blue. Oh pls don’t flow so fast…
Oh my. BRILLIANT! And as musician, I KNOW how good it feels when something this good comes into existence at your hands.
No kidding, looking forward to more covers from you guys.
That drummer is so precise with the timing of everything
Great, beautiful... I was expecting nothing.... Amazing cover...
Fantastic! You guys nailed the it. I think even Liz would approve.
That is very brave !!! And so good !
Covering Liz is a challenge in itself !
Oh you guys are fantastic, really. So young, so awesome. Never heard someone did it really so good, it makes me do something, I'll share it with my kidos so they can hear what is awesomeness!
Excellent. What a great voice; closing my eyes I could hear Liz 🤩
the guitar work on both the cocteau covers is perfect
Love your covers of the CC Twins.
Wow, I wasn't expecting this at all. I would have told you this was uncoverable, at least credibly. I was wrong. So well done.
A yeoman's effort fine musicians. As most commenters have stated, no one can cover the Cocteau Twins, impossible. But you nearly made the impossible possible.
still listening to this months later❤
Whoa...KILLED it! And those vocals...Liz, are you watching???
Holy smokes! Y’all did an incredible job on this! Chillbumps!
Very good, congratulations. Exciting the sounds, the voice. I closed my eyes and dreamed ...
thanks for all this.
Greetings and hugs from Italy
Grazie mille
Love this great cover . It has the scent of cocteaus
When I saw this (never heard of these guys) I thought yeah, right, dream on. She isn't going to be able to cover oh wow, she's doing it. Good job. Those are some hard ranges.
This old Cocteau Twins fan from the 1980s, thinks this is a lovely cover! ♥️
Wow! First the chords and then your angelic and mesmerizing voice. I have chills and just subscribed and must listen to everything by you. YOU have an amazing gift. Elisabeth Fraser would be in so awe of your beauty and youthfulness.
Can't believe I only just found this. Holy crap what a fantastic job 😳❤️
It does not get much better than that!
my expectations were low, but I gave it a click and I’m blown away by her voice.
fantastic well done
Better version than any of the live performances of the actual Cocteau Twins available on CZcams.
My fave band since 86, but yes, they can be tragic Live, Lol
Because they pitch corrected the vocals
As someone who's seen the cocteau's live I have to agree with you
you mean of Carolyn's Fingers or all of them?
CF - absolutely! I don't think Liz ever sang this track very well live
but there are a lot of stellar live CT versions on youtube, check out Orange Appled or Pandora :)
or this concert is pretty amazing czcams.com/video/ijDrNshmn2c/video.html&ab_channel=CocteauBuff
that all being said, yes, this cover is great!!
A lot of the later live material suffers from the turmoil Liz and Robin's personal relationship was going through at that time. The more successful they got, the more unhappy they became as a band.
Wooot? What an amazing voice! what an amazing cover! Top-notch indeed.
Such wonderful great potential yet original in itself. Cocteau's music lives on!
just SHOCKINGLY good cover guys
Excellent!
Unbelievable cover. Great work, the vocal is absolutely unreal. Amazing.
Wow.... Guitars, Vocals...good job!
You guys are incredible, the tune itself is different but true to the original and the vocals hit all those high notes perfectly. Definitely not an easy song to cover!
I listen to this over & over! Just as good as the original! Please tour!❤
this is perfect cover
I clicked on this expecting to be disappointed... I wasn’t. 👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌
It’s great to know that there’s actually the younger generation that is listening to this. Great band love them I saw them Lots of times in New York and Elizabeth Fraser is not the easiest voice to do it all
Very well done, this is such a pleasant surprise :)
good job !! excellent in fact
Incredible Voice, love this. I am photographer from berlin, cocteau twins are allways my inspiration
Wow I freakin love this cover actually all your covers but this one surprises me didnt expect you can pull off carolyn's fingers so cool and suits your style.
Wow!!! Well done. Always seemed impossible to me, but you nailed it. All three of you!
Pas facile de reprendre les Cocteaux Twins ! Bravo
I had to listen to this a few times over a month to have it kind of grow on me. The delays and reverb threw me first few times, but then I started to get it.
Your voice is worthy of Liz. Just floored
Great job all of you. Fantastic!
I had to edit this comment because being a CT fan since 1984 I have seen a lot of covers and am really happy that more and more are doing so, that being said, I have now watched a couple of your videos and am hopefully loving that they are live recordings and not edited because it is really refreshing to hear your versions done live. They are not perfect reproductions, they are your own and I love that. Cheers
Omg this is so good and incredibly brave to cover..
That guitar.....that freaking and hunting guitar... and obviously the voice....Good job guys...Greatings from a fan from Lima Peru.
What a beautiful voice singing a beautiful song. =)
Fantastic, give us more please.
