"Rilkean Heart" Isolated Vocals - Cocteau Twins 1995

Isolated vocals.

“My love addiction was worse than ever. I was maniacal. Twinlights is about that man. My ‘last goodbye,’ as it were. I was too needy and he was too much of an avoidance person. Naturally.”
ELIZABETH FRASER https://cocteautwins.com/twinlights.html

Written in hommage to (but not necessarily about) the late musician Jeff Buckley who while in New York, on May 29, 1997, drowned during an evening swim, fully clothed, in the Mississippi River. His body was found on June 4.

Buckley was a fan of the poet Rainer Maria Rilke who wrote:
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”

"“May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children. Then in these swelling and ebbing currents, these deepening tides moving out, returning, I will sing you as no one ever has, streaming through widening channels into the open sea.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke
