One of the most innovative post-punkbands of the 1980s, Cocteau Twinsbuilt a sound based on woozy atmospherics and singer Elizabeth Fraser's utterly unmatchable vocals, most of which featured lyrics of made-up words, words plucked at random from the dictionary, and her native gaelic, which varied strongly in pitch in minimal times, drawing comparison with acclaimed singer Maria Callas. Forming in 1980, their first release was Garlandsin 1982 on 4AD Records, which was received well. Founding member Will Heggie left the group in 1983, prior to the release of their second full-length, Head Over Heels, which was also received well. In 1983, the two remaining members, Fraser and Robin Guthrie, were part of the first album recorded by This Mortal Coil, a supergroup put together by , head of 4AD Records. The pair had a hit with a cover of Tim Buckley's .

Rilkean Heart Lyrics
Cocteau Twins
Rilkean heart, I looked for you to give me transcendent experiences
To transport me out of self and aloneness and alienation
Into a sense of oneness and connection ecstatic and magical
I became a junkie for it
I came looking for the next high
And Im sorry Ive been putting the search on the wrong place
I understand that youre confused, feeling overwhelmed
Well thats a feeling state from then, the reality
With cleaning up my emotional life and getting in touch with myself
Im beginning to ground myself in my own sense of being as an entity
One entity on the planet,
Becoming truly self reliant
And become connected with something beyond me
That is where I have to go
Im so sorry Ive been putting the search on the wrong place
Youre lost and dont know what to do
But thats not all of you
Thats your reality today
And that is all okay
I understand that youre confused, feeling overwhelmed
Well thats a feeling state from then, the reality
Rilkean heart
Youre lost and dont know what to do
But its not all of you
Thats your reality today
And now its all okay
I understand that youre confused, feeling overwhelmed
Well thats a feeling state from then, the reality
Rilkean heart
I looked for you to give me transcendent experiences
To transport me out of self and aloneness sent alienation
Into a sense of oneness and connection, ecstatic and magical
I became a junkie for it
I come looking for the next high and Im sorry Ive been putting the search
On the wrong place
I understand that youre confused, feeling overwhelmed
Well loves a feeling straight from then, the reality
Growing up, my emotion of loving and
Getting in touch with myself and Im getting (different from twinlights)
To be proud of myself and my own sense of healing
As connected to an entity of the planet
Look Im truly self-reliant
Ive become connected with something beyond me
And that is where I have to go
Im so sorry Ive been putting the search on the wrong place
Im lost I dont know what to do
Its not all on you
Thats the reality today
Right now its gone
I understand that youre confused
Feeling overwhelmed
Well thats a feeling straight from then
The reality
