@AlicejustMay I'm happy that you are happy. (now there's a Hallmark line waiting to happen!)

@Bukowski A good one, though. Well for Hallmark...

@AlicejustMay Can you ever hear what they're singing? I've been listening to them for ages (well, among other things) and I think they must be singing in tongues, or something :) Lovely though.

@alisonsghost Elizabeth Fraser never really wrote lyrics as such - she used her voice more like an instrument than to deliver decipherable words; coming up with nonsense phrases that just 'sounded right'. But as you say, it sounds like singing in tongues; ethereally lovely. :)

Wonderful. Elizabeth Fraser has the most gorgeous voice. Who needs lyrics when her voice sounds so gorgeous. Great song title as well.

@AlicejustMay That's very interesting. I really have been trying hard to make out words so it's a big relief too :).@AndyWilkinson I usually love song words but with her you're right. Was she the one who sang on 'Teardrop' for Massive Attack?

I heard an interview with David Bowie where he said he wrote down words/lines then cut them up and reassembled them into songs...Although I'd be surprised if this was true of everything he wrote. Seems a similar way of working somehow....

@alisonsghost Yes - wasn't sure if it was Tracy Thorn, so just Wiki'd it. Apparently Madonna was very keen to sing on it!

@alisonsghost More like the artist Tom Phillips, I always thought (having dabbled in art as a student etc) - there was a terrific documentary about Bowie in the 70s recring Young Americans, I tihnk, where he was perpetually high on coke and talked about the cut-up lines... ironic if you think about it :)

@AlicejustMay Really??? Madonna I mean. I was an art student, but there are a lot of us where I live. Very funny about the cut-up lines :)

@AlicejustMay I just looked it up - glad Madonna didn't do it. I was very pleased when I finally worked out what that song meant.
