I don’t really know how I come to have this… I guess I bought it in 2022? Anyway, this is subtitled “Responses to The Moon and The Melodies”, which is an album I quite like. It’s by Cocteau Twins with Harold Budd, but not titled that way, because that would have led to higher sales, I mean, a loss of integrity or something.
It’s not an album I listen to a lot… let’s see what Emacs says:
Played 10 times (first 2007-02-25; last 2025-03-31)
I’ve only listened to it ten times since I ripped it in 1999, which is as far back as my data goes. But I put it on now while reading this thin book.
And I guess I assumed that this would be full of, er, more fan-based texts?
But it’s pretty good! I liked all the texts, but perhaps particularly the above…
… and this one…
… and somehow snooker balls with butterflies makes sense…
And this text could actually be the lyrics to one of the songs for all I know.
OK, this has inspired me to put the entire Cocteau Twins catalogue on.
