People call it freak folk...

I'm obsessed with this song right now. Its pure magic. This is what expressing yourself through music is all about. Truly.



Argh I'm still too stupid to figure out how to make my blog wider so you can see videos and pictures better....just click it and watch it on the youtube site if you are having troubles seeing the whole thing!

Let me put music inside of you.

I want to start sharing a lot more music I love on this blog too. I listen to so much different stuff, and I'm always looking for people to share my obsession for a variety of music with.

I'll start by sharing this song,by one of my favorite bands, Cocteau Twins.


This song is off their first album, Garlands, from 1982.

The album is haunting magic, one of my favorite of theirs. The whole album is worth checking out, not just this one song. I highly suggest it <3

Their music follows me everywhere. It is like the ethereal soundtrack to my mind.


This song holds special meaning, its off the album Four-Calendar Cafe, from 1993.

This album is much different then their first album, less of dark wave/goth, but still just as ethereal and surreal.
Still just as beautiful.


Elizabeth Fraser (vocals) is such an amazing creature, putting words and sentences together in the most mystical and most of the time nonsensical of ways, and is very much glossolalia, or, speaking in tongues almost, emphasizing syllables in ways that differ from what you'd normally hear.

"part of her appeal is how she can make hard-to-interpret lyrics so emotionally gripping."

Lots more music shares to come in the future.
