Official video of Massive Attack performing Unfinished Sympathy from the album Blue Lines. - เพลง
Age 17 in 1991 I was totally captured by the video and the sound. About to leave foster care as soon as I turned 18 to go it alone as a young adult into the unknown big wide world to live independently. Every lonely but strong purposeful stride Shara took as she walked those streets to the bitter sweet happy sad sound was symbolic of me at that time. It moved me back then and still moves me when I hear it today age 50. Still navigating through the streets of life. But then again, aren't we all.
Amen to that!!
I rilly, rilly hope that things turned out well for you.
You seem to have some grace and dignity for someone who went through the foster-"care" system.
How beautiful this is! Let God be with you!
I miss ya Kris haha
in 2024 as in 1991. The more things change, the more they stay the same...
She's going to bump into Richard Ashcroft walking the other way.
:-D
🤣🤣🤣
😁😁😁
🤣😂🤣😂
haha Excellent. She'd kick his ass.
MTV, no mobile phones, no internet, only passion, joy and love for music. Oh, how I miss the 90s... greetings to everyone from Poland, wherever you are, my thoughts are with you, thanks to this masterpiece created by Massive Attack. God bless You all.
Rowniez pozdrawiam😊😊
100% agree (from Denmark) 🤘🏼
Love this song
Pzdr. 😎
Pozdrawiam z Wielkopolski 😊
What a privilege to have been 20 when this was out, no internet, no mobiles no social media just music like this as the soundtrack to growing up in realtime without a screen in your face
This piece is made for THE MOMENT
My children cannot believe these songs like this are at least 30 years old. They sound timeless.
👨👩👧👦
Unlike most of the crap that was out in the 90s with it.
@@kyachdistent1301 ча]+
Timeless and still fresh !!! And also classique! Much better than the comparison betw. the 50s to the 80s or betw. the 60s to the 90s of course.
But what scares me more... THAT IT IS at least 30 yrs ago now, when i just turned to a young adult. Where did time go? But glad for THAT experience...
You just have to replace the old 80s cars with new ones with the PC...it could easily be a NEW song😆!!!
@@kyachdistent1301 Absolute nonsense
In my humble opinion, the most beautiful piece of popular music in the last 30 years. It somehow manages to be cold, warm, mechanic and human at the same time. The brilliance of this song is that it combined the tradition of soul music with what was then an amazingly forward-looking style of music without sounding like a gimmick or a cliché. The beat, the samples, the scratching, the strings, Shara Nelson's voice, that heartbreaking vocal and the production... Everything here is about subtlety, balance and everything fitting together at the right time. And it's truly heartbreaking that Shara Nelson didn't have the career she deserved when you know she co-wrote this masterpiece.
Tl;dr: "I really like this song. It's my favourite."
you're perfectly right
it was my father yea. sometimes he rambles =/ right now though my ear is free as he is out returning video tapes
Groundbreaking and fantastic, agreed. The most beautiful since 1986 , hmmm that needs a discussion. I'll throw in Seal's debut album and 'Walking Wounded' for a start.
"Like a soul without a mind in a body without a heart I'm missing every part"
One of the greatest song ever
The movie sliver bought me here, sliver 1992
correct
And greatest video too..
Along with their other song Teardrop ❤
April 2024, and this will always be one of THE Classic tracks of All Time 😊😊
It’s 2024 and this is still one of the greatest songs ever
Indeed
💯 Bristol vibes everlasting !
Especially with all the complelety unnecessary conflict going on in the world.
Just a magic sound .. a pominon.
Grrrrrr, tis true. x Kinky Afro tho.
Its 2020 and this is still one of the coolest tracks ever produced
it is 2020 and massive attack will be same in 1999 2014 2020 does not matter. Must be new old classic :D
@@oskars_l agreed
watch her name? do you know?
gms77777 And the coolest video
100%
21 years old today,what a timeless classic. Can’t believe I’m probably going to look back at this comment at 50. So proud of how far I’ve came
I was 21 when this song came out and I'm now 54. There was NOTHING like it when it came out, and it hit just like it does now.... a special groove that can't be duplicated.
The strings, the bells, the light, the walking, the people in her orbit. MASSIVE!
ATTACK ❤
And those people in her orbit include the three members of Massive Attack - Robert Del Naja, Andrew Vowles and Grant Marshall
0:43 Grant Marshall appears in a burgundy bomber jacket, looking in a shop window. As Shara Nelson passes he turns to follow her with a young child in blue denim, turning left down the side street in the background at 2:18, just as Robert Del Naja appears in a long green coat, standing by the telephone. As Shara passes the shop door RDN turns to follow her, then at 3:17 Andrew Vowles appears in a long dark coat, pushing a trolley, with both remaining in the background until the camera pans forward at 4:12
the WHOLE lot with a hard coore system belting out this chooon you sure can feel it belieeve!! {{{ __MASSSIIIIVE ATTTACK ACKKK ACKK-)))
It's like Natalie merchant in Carnival.
It's 2021 and this is still one of the greatest songs ever
Right.
And the video too, that single cut with all those perspective changes...
Great stuff.
Yes
100%
Always will be!
One of the many reasons why this is a classic is that no other song has ever sounded remotely like it: the strings, the beat, the lyrics, the scratching and weird percussion sounds, but, most of all, Shara Nelson's unique vocals.
For me, it brings back memories of things that never happened.
Well said
Also, it has no bass.
Zoro 7 destiny
this is the absolute perfect description of that song
I was born 92, heard this song thru my childhood and it always felt so familiar, so warm
I cannot even describe it
That last sentence! 👌🏾
My brain has never left 90's dimension, every time I hear timeless classics from the 90's I am transported back in time/home. 💞👌😊👍
Same cuz, same...
Same,me too
Bro i thought i was the only one who felt this
GREAT, SCOTT!!
@loolove it laugh I have been ntil
One of the most atmospheric haunting songs ever produced , Shara Nelson's voice is fantastic
RIP Dan Kneece. The Steadicam operator for this music video. Dan explaining how he shot this: "This shot was done in the early 90's, long before Segways, with an Arri III, a 3 to 1 Cooke lens (heavy), a 400ft mag, I made it through 6 takes before I was totally exhausted and could do no more.." A legend, a light-hearted and compassionate man has left us forever.
This filmclip always will remind me of my only holiday in the USA.
To be fair, I was a kid. From a naive Aussie family in '98. Now that I realise some of the areas we went to because, why not?. Didn't even have Travellors insurance. Really hope it was some Crips who "found" my Duty Free Winfield Blues.
LA and Mexico. Had a blast, us crazy Aussies. And everyone was chill in the US and Mexico. NO ONE gave us hustle.
Drank Jungle Juice with my brother in Tijuana.... And the worm turned us both....
Stay Safe.
Thanks for sharing and lifting someone else up. Such an ethereal, moving song. It is really cool hearing about your friend behind the scenes.
Thanks for this info! Brings some more depth to the feeling of it after reading that. Such an iconic piece of film he made.
@@user-vu9ys5wm7d very well said. Thanks. Have a great day.
Hadn't realized his Passing until now... One of my favourite cinematic Videos that I still want to walk that route that He created in '92...R.I.P.
This was the entrance music for my grandmas funeral yesterday, she was 86 and this was one of her all time favourites as well as one of mine❤️ RIP X
real tears she must have been wonderful sorry for your loss
j
Kat Leonard one of your grandma's favorites? high 5 to her!!
Love 2 Gran Xx
Chilled grandma 🖒and ur self
Wow! Isn't it great when your elders love the tunes you do! Must've been a powerful moment, words fail me but the music says so much .....X
Cant believe this from 91!...32 years old now. Especially for electronic music from that era, its remarkable that it hasnt aged at all!
The magic of the internet has given youngsters the chance to appreciate the magnificent music us oldies loved, too. 💯🙏🙏👏 The horrors of the world can be escaped and we can come together for 4 minutes of bliss. 💚🙏
This song is a monument in the history of music.
Yes!!
I went to College right down the street form the video shoot.. Otis Parsons School Of Design, Los Angeles. Good Times!
well that's just an opinion....that happens to be 100% true!!!
Yup. 'Lightning-in-a-bottle.'
Radio 1 used to do a top 100 voted hits of all time on a bank holiday Monday (might still do, I'm too old to listen or care) and one year this was number 1, quite out of the blue. Felt like the planets had aligned or something, this beat songs like Bohemian Rhapsody.
As a 21 year old this was simply mind blowing, now 52 it’s still my all time favourite song and possibly one of the greatest tunes of all time, it’s timeless. “Welcome to the greatest era of music my friends”
Mate, I had to have a little sit down when I realised I'd bought this is 1991...
You're 51 and your online handle is Mike Hunt? nice
@@richarddutchholland4780 Nothing funny about Michael Hunt. Mike Hunt however sounds like "my c-word". Arguably also not funny, but a 52 (sorry, the 51 was a typo) year old man having that childisch of a nickname is hilarious to me.
well said !!!!
Im 52, too, bro. Know it since it came out like you.
Both of us have been somewhere in this world in the early 90s, listening to it. And now we met here, listening again. Isnt that crazy?
I have found this to be the most peaceful song ever, not the saddest. It releases withheld emotions, especially live, but puts you at peace with yourself, and the demons you're dealing with from within.
It kind of makes you feel enough just as you are while listening to
Totally. She’s neutral with her processed pain.
Man, the song, the sound, the vibration, the melody... Sad, but makes me alive
One of the greatest songs ever. It's now decades old, but still timeless. A masterpiece.
masterpiece? Hahahahahaha
Yeah u read right.a masterpeice.unless of course your deaf
Absolutely. A true classic.
i wouldn't go that far but it's pretty good.@@hawk2million
this a masterpiece? hilarious..@@D33J3nk1
I’m 900 years old, and this is the greatest song of all time.
Well done on reaching yr 900th, what's your secret??
Cant disagree, I mean, this is Gods theme tune
I just turned 220. I doubt the youth of today will ever make anything like this unless Highlander learns to mix.
😂😂👍🍻
@@celticfrost3250 hey, hello Ace!
This is peak MTV. One of the greatest music videos ever created, containing one of the standout tracks of the 90's.
This song felt like a kind of revelation when it came out.
Love this sing, I'm 72 years old, good music knows no limits.
Im 60 and i agree.for ever.
I am 69 and Dan we are lucky that we lived through some of the most beautiful music ever. This track is a great example.
I wish you the longest live to enjoy as much music as you can
@@BorlockShaman Thanks Dado very kind thought and I hope you do as well !!
Im 40 and love it too
November 2021, and this still sounds out of this world, absolute tune
Ja man
Agreed
Absolutely with u. A Masterpiece full of energy to over help u stay strong I. This times. Peace ND U ity we need... Live without freedom is a body without heart.....
I always listen to it 🙌
This song will never age. Fact!
One of the best songs ever made. It's so unique, there's nothing like it! Big fan of Massive Attack.
Ain’t that the truth!😁❤❤❤
Reminds me of Moby TBH.
I get where you're coming from@@SanguineMalcontent
I never comment on nothing but there's times when you gotta speak up. One of the best tunes of that era makes you feel like there's more to music than we know 😊
The 90's were truly taking music into its limits, Massive Attack and Trip-Hop in general was a great example to this with the birth of the Bristol sound. Just a real hype to get into a new century overall, As to cite a comment i once read on an Aphex Twin song.
Its somethn magical
@@october1820 I was out in Bristol in the late 90s....great times and the music that was coming out of there....another level....Portishead etc etc
My God this still gives me chills.
Yes🥶🥶🥶
Indeed 👣❤️⚕️❄️🌊🔉
Me too since the first time I heard it. Sends a chill up my spine everytime.
Me too 😢
Total goosebumps!
Unfinished Sympathy has the distinction of being a handful of songs that never age. Brilliantly original and forever memorable. Excellence on another level from Massive Attack.
Thank you very much 😊
This song has heart, soul, but most of all Integrity.
❤ Appena l'ha trasmesso la Radio Capital , che si fa sentire dei brani degli anni 60,/70 /80 /90 tra anche questo brano.
Bellissima melodia , con la voce unica .
This song is a masterpiece, period. Already more than 30 years old and still so powerful, this is unbelievable. Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it, no matter where I am or what I do. Thank you Massive Attack 🙏
😍
VERY SAMEEE🙌🔥
Makes me cry
Just quietly, where the hell did those more than 30 years ago?
This is one of those that takes me back to that time. This is a recurring theme with my comments, but I’d give anything to be back there
Oh hell yeah! So so good!
Before the world lost the plot... one of the greatest!
Much of the world is better now, but this time was good because people minder their own fucking business and we enjoyed the world as it was without seeking validation from social media
If you're still listening to this masterpiece, you have a good taste in music. 💞👌😊👍
😂
My fav t-shirt from maybe 1997. Martin place. Red eye records.
I love it😊
Listening to it right now at 3.15 am. Never get tired of listening to this. Every time is as good as the first time I heard it.
Thanks
It's like wine, It gets better and better as time passes by.
Especially when most of tje new wines taste like shit.
like a circle jerk, if you will
Yeah it does. It really does.
haha
There is more talent that went into this production than the entire life of some modern day recording artists.
Some say...
She still walks to this day.
Some say she always will.
@@P14ylists Same.
Its not a song,
it’s a memory, a feeling, a trip down memory lane. And it’s all good. Everything fits..
I will always love this song, will always play this song, on very possible occasion. Because it should be played. Always. Period
What a beautiful way to describe this masterpiece .
i understand exactly what you mean. Such a great song and symphony ! Listen Sky and sand from Paul Kalbrenner, maybe you know this song. It is not the same tempo at all, but kind of same feelings for me.
Very well said my friend.
Beautiful. Well said
💯
I am 61 years old + a few months ............... and this my favourite track of all time.
It's a wonderful classic! I'm 19 and it's one of my favorite songs of all time for a few years now since I've discovered it. It's such a great track, it's still fresh and still will be when I'll be older. It's beautiful how it's able to connect so many people from many backgrounds, so many generations....
I'm even older and it just stays with me. Love it!
Pete Robbins I’m 59 it never loses it punch, love it. It’s our era
Your the best.xx
40 years old ... pure luv this song!!!!
1990 baby!
Had this on single cassette in my Walkman.
Timeless classic 🎶✨️
I'm obsessed with this song.
This is one of those rare tracks that everyone loves, no matter their taste in music
You're right. I'm from Poland, Europe. Firtst time I heard her long time ago and she's still in my head. What a master peace :) And I mean like 15 yers ago!!

Wherever you are, whoever you are, whatever is your problem or your pain: May this song show you the path & guide you to the light.
So beautiful your coment
True
Merveilleusement bien dit!
Depends on where the light leads you.
Gracias amigo
Still for me the Greatest British song of all time.Magnificent
British music rules
This video is so underrated. Look at all the subliminal messages in the background. Stands up today in 2024
One of the best songs ever created. Still sounds amazing today, as it did in 1991.
It put me on to trip hop recently I’m a fan now I’m so happy
@@KingstonTheArtist Trip hop didn't exist when this was made. But check out A Monk and Canatella.
I bet she never had any idea she was creating an absolute anthem when making this, just beautiful
Exactly
Her performance is amazing, but it was Massive Attack that created the song
Will Malone's skyscraping string arrangement is equally important.
@@phineasgage8252 and she wrote the lyrics so your points kinda moot
Master-piece! 30years old now
They don’t make music like this anymore. Different level and so much of a vibe - forever lasting x
2024. timeless!
One of the greatest songs of all time.
I'm crying. So fitting. Timeless.
This song created an entirely new genre of music.
The part where she sing "how can we have a day whitout a night" remind me of this period which unfortunately represents the night but which sooner or later will pass and then become day again
Than listen to philladelphia by bruce springstin
Watch 'CoronaComa' by 'Sly Toe Hand' I think it may interest you.
excellent jimmy!!!
sax so fabulous sonng!!!
This was my mums favourite song, I can still hear whacking the speakers to full and singing her beautiful little heart out! Sadly lost her at the young. Age of 52
😥so sad for your loss
She had great taste. Condolences, friend
You have my heart for your loss. Keep your head up.
sorry for your loss x
Your mum has got her speakers louder in heaven still playing this song RIP to your beautiful mum so sad I'm sorry you lost her so young ❤😢
The legless dude on the skateboard in the background really just makes the song hit even harder.
Simply one of the best tunes ever released. There's something so soulful about it and wbatever the string instrument is (violin?) Just builds and adds an urgency to the song. If you could identify exactly what makes this timeless and bottle it you would be a billionaire. Just beautiful.
This track very cleverly captures such soaring, vulnerable heights of emotion due to the string's key in F major, which was a favourite amongst classical composers, such as Bach. A very intelligent production, which will never lose it's timeless appeal due to its diverse influences that span hip hop, soul, classical and electronica. It really touches deep into the soul of all who behold its achingly-beautiful majesty. A modern masterpiece.
Mahler Karajan, you know it?
Óh Man...
Wow... way off the mark... this is ostensibly in minor.... d minor.... not even close to G major... also: nothing indicates that JSBach liked or used G major more than any other key... as for other classical composers..... Beethoven certainly favoured Eb major, this is well known and documented. Mozart used D major a lot, G major is coming in at 6th place....
@@thehappypimp Correct, Just plinked it out. Dminor. You can jam a dminor 6th chord with it. Didn't know that's what it was till I looked it up. Overated work too IMHO. Give me Wayne County any day th-cam.com/video/LJYnSMk9seE/w-d-xo.html
Do you like huey Lewis and the news ?
The human race is worth saving when you realise we can make music like this
The truth brother.
Hammer - Kommentar
No it isn't and we can't make music like this. One decent song a decade is not the forgiving card, not least when the 80s made one wow song a week generally!
What does this song do for all the animals we steal from, torture and kill? Humans suck!
Underrated comment ❤
Never gets old. One of the most memory evoking tunes ever produced. If it doesn't take you back to teh time you first heard it then nothing will.
I’m 63, and this is my first time.
Some how it just transports me to how I felt and lived back in 1992, nostalgic vibes and wish I could be transported back to those times and stay there.❤
Me too xx
I'm starting to think this is the finest song ever written
Def in the conversation ❤
You are in good company.
Gotta be one of if it isn't number one
This or streets of Philadelphia
@@kevjdm1986 thats one of also 👌
that moment when you realize that you are 56 years old and have still not heard a better tune than this, still so fucking epic..
Yes because it reminds you of your youth
Yeah.
jaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Only 56 ?? You bloody youngster - 64 here, and still liking.
check out Black - Wonderful Life and thank me later :) ;) :D
My children love this album. Big thanks Massive Attack.
This sound, this beat, vocals… simply magic. Period.
I worked in a pub in Clifton, summer of '91, and had this playing when Tricky came in. He had a half of Guiness, then nodded over and said "Like the music man" as he left.
What is the chance of that happening ... to savour ... with half a pint of guiness.
I went to one of Tricky’s live shows around the time of his first solo album and it was really good
Nigel Legg
He's quite a character.
You should have put run DMC on the juke box … it’s tricky! :-)
I'd have had john Smith's myself, but each to their own
One of my all time favourites, it never gets outdated to me.
I think it's because of strings. They give it that orchestral feel! Also one of my favourites!
Ezra Rubenstein Yup, Will Malone's finest moment.
Epic tunes, for everyone to taste and feel. Can you still?
heavysmoker yees
muito bom
Back when we had real music by real artists.
The strings, piano, beat & vocals is incredible
This song never fails to give me goosebumps
Scarlett Russell maybe your just having withdrawal symptoms from the heroin
Bernard Quatermass
Why this reply to a good comment from Scarlett?
It was a joke about the goosebumps that heroin addicts experience not a great joke admittedly but I'm glad I could clear this up for you
Scarlett Russell As a younger Adolescent, that first that first Beat and the Melody gave me scary chills.
Scarlett Russell Me too. It's in my top three goosebump pieces of music along with 'Gimme Shelter' by the Sisters of Mercy, and Handl's 'Sarabande'.
pure escapism with this song. close your eyes and move with it.
Totally takes you to a different place IMO What a track.
True. Funny, how dramatic tempo at the end was popular in the 1990s.
I just could not convey that message to myself
Lesley Mollan I did, walked straight into the wardrobe
I was 1 years old when this was released, now aged 33 I can appreciate what a classic this is!
Black women and house music ❤
It is still a masterpiece. How it sounds, my God...
Forever one of my absolute top fave music pieces ever written. Soulful, beautiful, cold, warm, everything all wrapped into one song.
Possibly the greatest song ever made.
Yeah do u ever thought an indian could hear it and too im a south indian
Its a 90's doesn't it
It will never not be a masterpiece... :-)
1991, when I flew high on the crazy and brave wings of youth and didn't know I was happy
💚💚💚
We all are like this, we only know what we have untill we lose it, sad but it's how us people work, never happy, always wanting something you haven't got.
Amen to that!
I always knew I was happy and not with any “artificiality”. The Late 80’s and all the 90’s were crucial. I feel bad for kids finding their way in this era. It’s an absolute mess.
Ooooo so well said.. the Wall was just down, Europe was still a cool project, Americans came to Prague to party and live as poets, war seemed a thing from the past, we'd hitchhike to everywhere with nothing tracking us, the world was raving, and not in our worst acid trips could we forsee the gruesome cocktail of 9/11, endless wars, phones and other digital prisons, financial meltdowns and mass vaxxinations.. we had no idea how lucky we were
It always gave me comfort when watching this video while being in a toxic home full of damage. Thank u Massive Attack for this gift❤
Hope you are living in a better environment now! :)
Music, still a masterpiece 32 years later.. and the video too... in one piece, no cut !!! so nice.. 👍👍💪
Released 30 years ago today. Evergreen.
¿What ????¿

30 years before that was 1961, which was only 16 years after WWII

Amazing song! 30 years old... Pfff...! One of my favorite songs ever. 😌
I'm 45 yrs old , I was raving/ partying since the tender age of 15 with my older brother and I can honestly say this has to be the finest song I've ever listened to
Same age, same experience. I remember hunting down the dj to find out who it was. It's such a haunting, beautiful song.
I'm 45 too and also partying in the 90s with this song. And then, The Matrix came out.. Massive Attack, Rob Dougan.. those songs got the same/special vibes.
Dude! Massive Attack, Chemical Brothers, Underworld, Daft Punk...the mid 90s was it. Even when you were a nerdy Midwest boy, haha!
Music For ALL SOULS YEAHHH!!!!
Same ♥️
Perfection when I was 13; perfection when I am 43. I know I will come back in 20 years and write perfection again.

Jajajaja jajajajaja jajajaja 😅😂😅😂
Very good. My other favorite.
No

Soon to be Blink 182 from What's My Age Again.
This song helped me through rough times in 1991. I would walk down the the street with my walkman on and this blasting. It freaking blew my mind.....you have to feel this song. It's ironic how 25 years later I'm back listening to it for different reasons...
❤same
Now 31 years old. Time flies. It's still and will always be timeless
31 YEARS after this track was released...and it still gives me goosies all over!
It’s a new year (2024) and I cannot stop listening.
That intro when the drums kick in is spine chilling...
Unfinished Sympathy" is a song by the English trip hop group Massive Attack. It was released on 11 February 1991 under the temporary group name Massive.[1] The song was written by the three band members Robert "3D" Del Naja, Andrew "Mushroom" Vowles and Grant "Daddy G" Marshall, the song's vocalist Shara Nelson and the group's co-producer Jonathan "Jonny Dollar" Sharp. It was released on 11 February 1991 as the second single from the band's first album, Blue Lines (1991), on the band's Wild Bunch label distributed by Circa Records.[2] The name "Massive" was used to avoid a radio ban, as the track's release coincided with the Gulf War. Produced by Massive Attack and Dollar, the song incorporates various musical elements into its arrangement, including vocal and percussion samples, drum programming and string orchestration by the arranger Wil Malone
@@Expara80 I dont have the bulb of knowledge, thanks for the information, I just wanted to let people here too to know the history of this song, being bad doesn't offer anything, I'm not an idiot
One take, the whole video. Every Massive Attack video has very high level of sophistication, skill and triggers emotions.
I loved being a silly 20 year old interviewing them when I understood we would all find them amazing. i'm still little but I'm glad we know this together!!!
Legendary.
I was 15 years old when this hit was released and i still play it every once in awhile.

Must be something in the water in Bristol. Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, and Roni Size all hail from there
🙌🙌🙌 x
💥
10 years before them , Bristol was home of the most raw punk bands at the time : Disorder , Chaos UK and Amebix. Something in the water , I will buy that :)
Will Gregory is also from Bristol: he created "Goldfrapp" with Alison Goldfrapp.
Was working down bristol last year water is defo funky tasting compare to where i am in the westmidlands yours is full of white chulk and limestone ours is smells like the swimming baths chemicaly as fuck
I love the mood of the clip. Love the band members loaf around. Love the blunt honesty of streets. And the song is still so emotional.
I adore this song. It seems to always send a shiver up my spine to this very day. Will be another one for my list of songs before I am returned to dust.
The British have produced some great bands for such a small island ... absolute masterpiece.
To right we do .
The British produced the most amazing bands in the world.

Used to watch MTV for hours just for this song and its video to be played. 👌🏽
Let’s take a moment to appreciate just how good the production in this song is.
I've been appreciating it since 1991. Quite literally thirty years 🙇🏻♂️ Without doubt the best track I have ever heard. I want this played at my funeral. Peace out my brothers and sisters, much love.
Real music with real words and real sounds. What's that!!
Once in a generation a song is produced and written an absolute masterpiece
It rips your heart out just long enough to plainly see how beautiful life is
One of the best songs, I've ever heard in my life, really.
