I used to play this SO LOUD in my kick ass stereo at 3am totally pissed dancing around my living room in London. In the morning, late morning, I would ask my kindly elderly widowed neighbour if she was disturbed by the loud music and she always said “no darling you just have fun”. She was sweet.
I’m 60 years old and I’ve got to say this is one of my favourite songs which is saying something considering how good the music was in the 1960’s and ‘70’s.
On holiday in kephalonia with my 13 year old daughter. I’ve got my iPad & speakers. She said “ dad can you play this?” Glory box. Portishead. I’m so Fuking proud!!!!!
Exactly the same age as you_ and the memories this brings back of that time in my life really just starting out after leaving my teens. Beth Gibbons voice so haunting
@Rob Roy Reminds me of when they mentioned in an interview they tried to do a colaberation with David Bowie and his response was along the lines of "but you guys are shit".
I am forever a 16 year old boy in love with Beth. Holding that cigarette, delivering some of the best our culture will ever have to offer. This song is so timeless and sultry. I have no shame singing it as a guy. I do quite frequently.
Listening to Portishead live is an emotional experience… Beth has class, mystique and swag. Remember late nights listening to this with a buzz in the dark with lit candles. Just a vibe that’s hard to beat
Portishead haven't in actual fact split up. They did a Ukraine benefit gig at Bristol 02 academy only couple of years ago. I missed it dammit! And are rumoured to have been working on some new stuff?
1994, I was 21. doing all of the things young people do at university and nobody snapping or selfies, you could be a discoverer of who you are without the whole damn social media sticking it's large nose in.......happy days
God damn, I saw Portishead on my 18th birthday, back in 1998 and I was candy flipping which made it even better! Beth Gibbins performance was SO intense, her eyes connected with every person in that audience. At the end of the show she jumped down in front of the stage and shook hands/exchanged hugs with everyone in the front row, including me! Set a bloody high bar for other vocalists to meet after seeing her :)
She reminds me of Janice Joplin so much, with the smoking of the cigarette and singing from the soul and still sounding amazing. Definitely my top 3 female voices of all time.
I'm a metal head from gate. HOWEVER this type of music, Portishead, Bjork, Massive Attack, etc put me on a different plane. I'm so in love with the feelings that come with this sound. Most who know me just don't understand. I think they think I'm going crazy.
I was introduced to Portishead over the course of an "affair" with a girl/young lady who was already spoken for, when this album first came out. I think of street lights through the blinds, scratches, bite marks. I come back to this music... ... life is strange.
@@louisefinley5929 Happy?! Wow... Uh... Yes and no. Recently crushed in a divorce; lost everything after 20 years of trying - kids, home, all my possessions, loyal dog and all, busted flat, now middle aged and alone, with the end just over the horizon. On the other hand, since my "wife" found a new source for narcissistic supply, I'm finally free after 20 years of loveless misery. Feels like I've stopped hitting myself in the head with a hammer. Now, mostly at my job, I'm finding joy and laughter with people I hardly even know. On my own, I'm finding contentment in peace and solitude. ha ha... I bet you're sorry you asked. Happy?! Holy @#^&... Whoever you are, I hope you're living on the bright side of life. Cheers
Man, her voice does so much wonderful emotional play on this song. Then there's that grotty guitar sound. IMO with that niche added burning cigarette its the perfect overall lost and desolation cocktail lounge vibe ... Who hasn't been there before ..
I assumed it was a joint, not a tobacco cigarette. Personally, its no big deal either way, but it does change the "vibe". I mean, lonely and desperate, or DESPERATE?!?
@@squirlmy I'm betting 100 it's a cigarette! Just curious though,if it doesn't matter to you whether it's a joint or a tobacco cigarette then which vibe is "lonely and desperate" and which is just "desperate" in your opinion?
Im a 50 year old Englishman, living in Demark for the last 25 years...This song kills me. The best performance ever. God it goes to the heart. Thank you portishead.
Maria McLaughlin My sis inlaw left one of their cd's at the house as soon as I heard her I was hooked....Fast forward found this live wow it just makes me love it twice as much.....she's awesome...the band also!!!!!
I’m old af, in my mind at least. Crazy how music sticks with us throughout the years. Happy for my time so far and what’s to come. Praise my lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
I was in pub bands in the early 80s and I hated all that smoke. Wasn't much of a punk rocker was I? This was one of my bands with me singing. th-cam.com/video/ShuQKA8qNK8/w-d-xo.html
Yeah it's a bar that is what a bar should be like. Smoking out of hospitals ok fine but bars? You can't even smoke on bar patios most places anymore and that's outside. I did not actually spend much time in bars but I think it's ridiculous anyway.
thank you,we are losing our culture and so many are just going along with it i know alot of people that cant even afford a pint now and never use pubs anymore and we used to live in the chelsea and the red lion in easton bristol!last of the real grinding punk,metal,dub,drum n bass ,tekno venues in britain! tom waits hits all them deep notes with the help of cigarettes and whiskey!you stay positive xx
I love this song so much. I listened to it right when is was out and hope there will still be some kind nurses in the hopefully far future that will play it for me when I am old.
Freaking genius at work here. Portishead was just incredible. Beth being surprisingly audience engaged here. Very Billie Holiday phrasing at the opening few lines, great groove, what's not like? Compare this to most of what passes as innovative pop/rock in 2020 and the comparison is pretty stark. We were lucky to have been alive when music like this was conceived , recorded and performed.
I didn’t really understand the lyrics when this album came out in the 90’s (I was a teenager). I revisited it again in my 20’s and it spoke to me. Revisited again in the 30’s and i understood it and it made me sad. Now in my 40’s, it’s beautifully nostalgic. ‘96 bleeker street, NYC
I'm so tired of playing Playing with this bow and arrow Gonna give my heart away Leave it to the other girls to play For I've been a temptress too long Just... Give me a reason to love you Give me a reason to be a woman I just wanna be a woman From this time, unchained We're all looking at a different picture Through this new frame of mind A thousand flowers could bloom Move over and give us some room, yeah Give me a reason to love you Give me a reason to be a woman I just want to be a woman So don't you stop being a man Just take a little look From our side when you can Sow a little tenderness No matter if you cry Give me a reason to love you Give me a reason to be a woman I just want to be a woman It's all I wanna be, is all a woman For this is the beginning Of forever and ever It's time to move over It's all I want to be I'm so tired of playing Playing with this bow and arrow Gonna give my heart away Leave it to the other girls to play For I've been a temptress too long Just... Give me a reason to love you Give me a reason to be...
90er Jahre war meine beste Zeit viele Drogen nur Partys ich bin dann schnell auf den Drogen hängen geblieben fast 30 Jahre lang,jetzt bin ich seit 6 Jahren Clean und noch am Leben und dafür bin ich dankbar...
My most fav sensual song ever🔥💜 don't understand why I've only discovered this live version just now 🔥🔥🔥🔥as a woman this song ROCKS 💜💜💜 Sensual beyond words
There is nothing better than hearing a song that you love live and its as easily as good as the studio produced version!! She sounds bloody incredible live!
superbe ! ce morceau restera intemporel jusqu'au bout....
5 ปีที่แล้ว +16
Shit! Never seen anybody singing like this in my whole life! The way she uses the voice, it puts all the heart and soul in it! It makes your guts move and feel...
1998, 21 yrs old, working as a waiter, one of my co-workers a tall lady asked me to borrow Portishead cd. I gave it to her. 23 years later she is still coming to my mind from times to times.
Gives me some wonderful flashbacks to a youth full of sorrows and joys, an absolutely eminent number performed sublimely and with a nerve that brings tears to my eyes. My deepest respect to Beth Gibbons and the rest of this fantastic band. 😘🙏🏼
Beth's intensity and spectacular vocals are amazing to say the least. She is the best vocalist in a very long time who cares about her performance, (little of that around anymore) and making music a true art form. I've been captivated by her since the first record.
As a Chinese girl who got to see their live at 18 years old, I almost fainted at the first line by the unimaginable energy field it brought to me. The safe guard lit up his torch to check if I was alright. I was just too overwhelmed by everything I was experiencing in their music.
After too many years I have just played this and it was like finding an old friend, loved it then, treasuring it once again. A true masterpiece. Haunting....
The most underrated British band ever. So fucking good, tight band and maybe the best British female vocalist of all time, definitely the best front woman. Big up Portishead!!!
Marko Fahrenheit Perhaps we both enjoy the same music?! My friends always tell me to go into Music journalism. Nah, I'd rather not. I'm just a fan of good music.
If you are still listening to this is 2024 I love you

Listen to it everyday what a song 52 and still chilling to this day
Love you too :D
Yo también te quiero 🖤
Love them since the beginning!

That's so awesome, thanks for sharing that little story from your life!!
God, I really hope I'm this kind of old lady. 🖤
If you're under the age of 30 and listening to this, then my hat is off to you. Music really was this good in the '90's
I am 14 and I can't tell how much do I love this music. Glory Box and the other 33 Portishead songs are wonderfully beautiful!
@@szmblanka Nice to hear intelligence, even in adults it is rare.
Alex Park Thank you!
The best.
That's right🤐🖤🥰🙏😎🌘
We literally lived through 90s with music like this. I miss it
I don’t miss any of it….I own it
yeah..and stupid 'dance' music and even more stupid techno
why would you miss it when you've literally just watched a live performance of it? Do people forget you can relisten to music or something?
I’m 60 years old and I’ve got to say this is one of my favourite songs which is saying something considering how good the music was in the 1960’s and ‘70’s.
This is good but since the 70s there are at least 1000 better songs..😅
Right, and this one of them. Shhh and listen

She said “ dad can you play this?”
Glory box. Portishead.
I’m so Fuking proud!!!!!
Good Dad. Must be very proud :)
2021... We made it and this song is still as fucking cool as it was when I heard it in 1994 when I was 22.
Exactly the same age as you_ and the memories this brings back of that time in my life really just starting out after leaving my teens. Beth Gibbons voice so haunting
me too
Best album of all time
@@degenererad Best album of ALL TIME?... Ehhh, I wouldn't go that far.. Lol.
Bloody hell. I was 32, and it's still cool AF.
It's hard to believe it's a live recording, vocals and band outstanding.
OLD SCHOOL
Recorded through the desk I guess. Fantastic work ;-}
@@simonfenn3791 Yes, very well mixed
No it's not.
C'est tellement beau !!!!!!
74 and hearing this for the first time! - wow! The wonders of youtube to throw this into a Florence&TM selection.
I know what you mean. I just heard about trip hop 2 yrs. ago. Try Sneaker pimps-6 Underground.
Have a listen to Massive Attack’s Mezzanine. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
I'm 75 and played it to death when it was released, still fecking awesome now
So underrated so amazing so beautiful what a great band
you know a bands good when they sound even better live
Yes -- or when they do an acoustic set.
Both of these are ways to separate "pop stars" & "rock stars"
from *MUSICIANS.*
@Rob Roy Reminds me of when they mentioned in an interview they tried to do a colaberation with David Bowie and his response was along the lines of "but you guys are shit".
Yes i agree and a lot of prog bands sounds better in live
no ! they were the best....
@@johnwaters7328 Young David Jones was pretty shit too.
2020...who's still listening? I am :) This is a sultry, lurid performance and I love it.
I'm totally with you!
Yeah, it's pretty dope
i'm here! still loving Portishead
Still listening? LOL, I just discovered them!
Love it!
@@kennethhaas3807 Never too late to discover a such good song
She is somehow able to look like she's having fun while also conveying the loneliness and hopelessness of the song. Genius.
Her vocal style was once described as sounding like she was always approaching the point of climax!

I am forever a 16 year old boy in love with Beth. Holding that cigarette, delivering some of the best our culture will ever have to offer.
This song is so timeless and sultry. I have no shame singing it as a guy. I do quite frequently.
I bet shes hard work....not even a cup of tea
She is playing in Copenhagen "soon" .. and you bet your ass I've got a ticket
That hit hard
Listening to Portishead live is an emotional experience… Beth has class, mystique and swag. Remember late nights listening to this with a buzz in the dark with lit candles. Just a vibe that’s hard to beat
What a great song, I love it! I put it into my "Shellshocked Radio - Recommendations" List: th-cam.com/video/I4IGV5s8E84/w-d-xo.html Very well done!
Me too, I remember late nights listening to this with a buzz lightyear in the dark with lit candles.
THIS EXACTLY.
o m lord old lady in her 60s sez who is this
tell it girl
The dynamics of this song are astounding. Utterly crushing and devastating one minute; intimate, delicate and so vulnerable the next. Incredible.
Thats why people like nirvana.
Luxo do luxo ao lixo de manhã, depois de uma madrugada intensa.
This song never gets old. I could listen to it over and over.
So could I Lisa Orange feel the love!
beautiful song.
Me too. Its addictive!
Portishead is timeless... All of their music
Lisa Ortega i do countless times
Every single guitar rock addict who says they hate electric music that I've ever met absolutely loves this original outstanding outfit
This song is a masterpiece and that haunting voice is eternal ❤
Wish I met a woman like her x
Absolute Classic. If you ain't heard it, you ain't lived? YET.
It breaks my heart that there will never be music like this ever again. But I'm simultaneously thankful to have been alive for it.
Me too😢
Portishead haven't in actual fact split up. They did a Ukraine benefit gig at Bristol 02 academy only couple of years ago. I missed it dammit! And are rumoured to have been working on some new stuff?
We can only hope. Thank you Mike.@@mikeb7379
We from the 70's agree.
There will be.
Watching and listening to this perfection is one of the rare moments in life where you feel like you're in the right place at the right time.
If you remember this Masterpiece song you are not old you are high quality vintage. 💞👌😊👍
They sound so good live!!! I'm blown away by their performance. She's so bad ass!!
go look at the Jools Holland performance. Epically fucking great
Passion is pouring from her soul into mine every time I listen to this song. So fkn good.
Beth gibbons stunning vocals and the raw guitar is a match made in heaven.
1994, I was 21. doing all of the things young people do at university and nobody snapping or selfies, you could be a discoverer of who you are without the whole damn social media sticking it's large nose in.......happy days
different times..better times
God damn, I saw Portishead on my 18th birthday, back in 1998 and I was candy flipping which made it even better!

What an 18th Birthday treat ❤💙
The 90's man....I miss them.....
Insane how her voice opens up when she sings the chorus.
Of course we're listening in 2022!
Music like this doesn't age, it stays as fresh & relevant as the day it came out 😉
This is a masterpiece
🫡💙🏴
It is indeed ❤
She reminds me of Janice Joplin so much, with the smoking of the cigarette and singing from the soul and still sounding amazing. Definitely my top 3 female voices of all time.
No Sparkly backing dancers, no smoke, no lasers, just talent.
Hell yeaaahhh! Internet crushed talents like these... Beth is amazing and needs only a cigarret to melt my body...

How about if I m 70 and love this band
i love this song
I was introduced to Portishead over the course of an "affair" with a girl/young lady who was already spoken for, when this album first came out.

A love song for the pandemic, this whole Portishead album is a lifestyle.
One of maybe 3 albums ever i can listen to without skipping a song
It's a shame they only released three albums. We can use more Portishead!
Yes, a livestyle that no more exists. :(
Absolutely love this one. Sensual, lonely, longing. Gets me emotional every time
Such a tune....timeless.....4eva
Man, her voice does so much wonderful emotional play on this song. Then there's that grotty guitar sound. IMO with that niche added burning cigarette its the perfect overall lost and desolation cocktail lounge vibe ... Who hasn't been there before ..

It's crazy how timeless their music is. I can listen to Portishead all damn day on repeat.

Through this new frame of mind

Move over and give us some room, yeah
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just want to be a woman
So don't you stop being a man
Just take a little look
From our side when you can
Sow a little tenderness
No matter if you cry
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just want to be a woman
It's all I wanna be, is all a woman
For this is the beginning
Of forever and ever
It's time to move over
It's all I want to be
I'm so tired of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long

This is the sexiest song ever
The smoking ruins it
without the smoking, the song would never created.
What are y'all talking about? The smoking makes it even more hot. And as she's gotten older she's hotter than ever.
So hot!
Very hot. Especially when she tells the crowd "the weather is fuckin' shite".

I'm still listening to this in 2022! REAL MUSIC!
❤ this song is so touching...
Her voice speek in my heart...
So perfect
