Pitch the Baby

About Pitch the Baby

"Pitch the Baby" is the second track from dream pop band Cocteau Twins' sixth album, Heaven or Las Vegas. The song is about Cocteau Twins lead vocalist Elizabeth Fraser reflecting on her experiences with pregnancy & childbirth. The song, as with most of "Heaven Or Las Vegas", marked a departure in Elizabeth's approach to writing lyrics. Previously, she'd used nonsensical words, and words from languages she couldn't speak or understand. With 'Pitch The Baby', she'd begun to sing about more tangible & personal themes. .
