NAME THAT COCTEAUNE! - For Thursday, February 19, 2026

Difficulty Level - Easy

THE RULES:

1. I listen to a Cocteau Twins song
2. I attempt to transcribe the lyrics WITHOUT ANY AID OF LINER NOTES OR LYRICS WEBSITES (foolish....I know)
3. You reply with your guess as to what the song is.
4. Multiple guesses are allowed! HOWEVER, if a multiple guesser gets the correct answer within the same minute as another Redditor who has yet to guess, the Redditor guessing the song on their first guess WINS. If multiple Redditors who have already lobbed guesses get the correct answer within the same minute time stamp on my notifications, the Redditor I'm notified of first wins.
5. The winner gets….honestly…nothing. Except bragging rights, a celebratory GIF, and a link to the song of the day.

[NOTE: Any lyrics I perceive that either name a good portion of the song title or is just the song title in whole will be blocked out with *CENSORED*. Text shown in italics wrapped in parentheses are just my snarky asides, usually about my shitty hearing.]

*HITS NEXT ON PLAYLIST*

Today's track is gonna be a mellow one. And I'm cautiously optimistic that even before I don the earbuds that this has intelligible lyrics. However, whether I actually hear them is a whole other matter.

-------------------------------

Say say sorry o to to you

Feel distorted serve such research

We have as such that makes the sky falling

(sorry...this doesn't make much sense but this is what I hear)

Got much feeling I deny

I won't heal and miss a cry

I guess grief sorrow won't go I won't heal 'til I let it go

CHORUS

We're lost reeling a-guh-nye-ee (some weird pronunciation of agonize?!)

I won't heel unless I feel eye-ee-ee eye-ee

One verse, one chorus, should be enough of a clue. I will post a clue if there are no correct answers by 3PM.

As always, I look forward to your guesses and snark.
