#FastSong 51: Feathers-Oars-Blades by Cocteau Twins. Spitting out oar blades late on a Tuesday.

 

It’s okay to throw in some retro tonight right?  It’s late and I had a long day and I really, really don’t feel like thinking.  That’s why I plugged in this classic track by Cocteau Twins.  I felt somewhat cheated and betrayed however when I realized that the lyrics were in fact real words and not gibberish like on their massive cult hit album Treasure, which I am positive gave birth to Cirque du Soleil btw.  Thankfully, I can’t make any sense out of these so I am hugely relieved.

Fire it up.  I love that 80s alt rock sound.  So Bowie inspired… but sounds a lot like Siouxsie, Echo and the Bunnymen, even The Smiths.  Enjoy what is left of this magnificent, bewildering Tuesday.  Tell me how yours was enlightening and offered a clear path to tomorrow.

(Well f*** me I just googled the lyrics to Ivo and the words actually exist.  I thought they were just making up sounds.  Now my day really is messed up).

Buy it on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify.
