Happy Valentines Day everyone. Bringing back the tradition of Red Heart Holiday and my last sessions purely focusing on Kate Bush, this whole set is a slue of lovely remixes of my all time favorite band "The Cocteau Twins". Much like my past stories on why I loved this band so much, it generally always revolved around my sisters.
Growing up younger than them, I saw their world blossom before mine. Mesmerized, I watched this foreign concept of love and heartache and all the traffic accidents of teenage bliss transform in front of my eyes. While for the most part I couldn't understand half the things that were going on, I remember I couldn't wait to be as crazy in love like they were, those many years ago, back out in the suburbs of Atlanta.
One day I was was being driven by my sister to middle school, and she was crying over someone she loved. She mentioned that "no matter how bad I feel, The Cocteau Twins make me feel better"... and with that I was hooked. I viewed them as an 'break in case of emergency' kit for the broken heart... and so thats why I love this band more than anything.. whether my heart is complete or not.
So this Valentines Day is all about The Cocteau Twins and the various bootleg / professional / and amateur renderings of the band that I love with all my heart.
