Wow has it been that long?? still can't this is 30yrs old & listening to this now definitely brings back loads of memories, this music is fabulous, breathtaking & spectacular in everyway as possible, this has been & always will be my all time favourite tune😊😉👍👍
Great songwriting creates iconic songs that never loses strength as the years passes, Angela. I consider Massive Attack to be an iconic Trip-Hop force that has created great music and their best album remains Mezzanine to me. EVERY song on that album amazing and brilliant.
4 year old me, in the kitchen making lasagna and cookies with my Mom and her girl friend Savanna on a cool summer afternoon. Spanish Yellow tinted room.This song blasting from the radio with Moby, Mazzy Star and Euro Pop hits. I'm healthy. Young and happy. Everything was beautiful. Yellow and Orange, citrus energy all around. I miss it all.
I'm very pleased for yourself, that this beautiful song has stayed with you and helped you through your tough times. This beautiful song is one of my all time favourites. People sometimes let you down, music never will ✌️.
This is the most romantic song I have ever heard and yet so simple. With no s...... lyrics. My partner and I have adopted this song as our own, we are now reunited after a separation of 50 years. We may not be fresh faced teens in the springtime of life. But we are both still as hot as ever for each other! Thank you Massive Attack.
Those strings....the way they variate their chords...from happy to sad...how it matches the verse....about unrequited love.....Chills "How can you have a day without a night?" is one of the most hauntingly desperate yet beautiful lines ever sung.
Yes, the strings and her soulful, searching voice makes it feel very operatic in the best sense, this is pretty much built like an aria even if Nelson's vocal style is a bit different. I think composers like Richard Strauss (also a master at writing for layered strings and a female voice) or Ralph Vaughan Williams, not to mention Leonard Bernstein, would clearly have "got" why this is such a powerful song.
Destroys me this track. It's just perfection the emotional response it brings, Shara's vocals are just beautiful. I'm in tears listening to it. It's that strong. Genius on every level.
Back when thus song came out I fell in love with it. I was struggling to design my next evening gown collection and had no clue where I was going to go with it. I heard this song while riding to lunch in a friends car. Instant chills then tears. I said please turn around and take me back to my studio. I designed the best evening gown collection I had ever made. Used this song for the show on loop. Best runway song ever. My all time favorite song.
I remember back in 1991 going to my favorite dance bar one Saturday night (Super Deluxe, Brisbane Valley) and the DJ at 5am played this as the last song and I ripped on to the floor alone and just moved to the beat non stop to its finish...I'll never forget it!
All these years later and will never get sick of listening to this. Still gives me the same feeling now as it did when I first heard it. Absolutely class tune.
Everything about it is so beautiful; the deep, earth shattering bass, the melodic orchestra, her emotional painful tone, the bells. It’s the perfect song. How they wrote this masterpiece is beyond me. Just wonderful.
The OG trip hop album has evolved into an all time musical masterpiece. God this thing helped get us through college in the 90s. I am 47 and it sounds as exquisite ever. Massive...
@@susisonderbar4171 I agree. can you make out what the guy is saying in the background near the end of this song? A song about being hurt and betrayed and you are sad and angry. A song about how can you be so selfish and so cruel. quite a painful song but also quite powerful. The girl keeps walking with her head up in the music video showing us that I am move on and I will never forget what you did to me. the pain she felt only made her stronger and a fighter.
My mum introduced this masterpiece to me when I was a little girl in the early 2000s. She had a CD with all of her fav songs on it from the 80s and 90s. This was one of the tracks! She’d blast it through the car stereo like we were having our own little party. I hadn’t heard this since then and now, here I am in my mid twenties listening to it all over again. Thank you, mum ❤ Fine taste in music.
Me too, unfortunately we left meaningful and creative music back in the 90's. I'm also obsessed with 'Protection', 'Goldie Timless' and Bomb the Bass Winter in July.
Met a girl 27 years ago. Fell out of touch for a few years. Met her again later. Spent a few happy years before she passed on. This song sums up all those years in between and all the years after.
Yeah, but when you consider the genius who perfectly juxtaposed that amazing percussion with both strings and piano, you get something that would bring tears to the eyes of Bach.
It's definitely my favourite. In the 90s (good times!) I used to listen to it before every school exam, chilled me out max and got me my straight As for A Levels :). A gift to the world
This takes me back to my time in Germany... man, those were some of the best years of my young life and probably the best period in time for a person to have experienced life in that beautiful country that is Germany. I wish I had a time machine!
Every time i hear this song it stops me in my tracks.Whatever im doing i just stop and listen.Its haunting,it stirs emotions,it brings back. memories.Timeless piece of music.👏
Those strings and those vocals and drums and production. Truly brilliant. And that one shot music video filmed in Los Angeles, too! Dang, 30 years ago!
Let it be unfinished until the end of times❤ Shara Nelson, the vocalist, was one of 5 writers of the song. Thanks for posting it. 🎄😄🎵🎶🎼 28 years later. Still such a beautiful chilled song
@Lisa Summers, I accidentally came across this song when I pressed the wrong button on a Jukebox many years ago whilst playing pool. The best mistake of my life. 110% Agree with you!
We absolutely had the best tunes ever. Massively classic love love it still after all these years. Brings back soooo many wicked memories of past friends. Xxxx massive love xxxx
I never knew I listened to Massive attack 30 years ago! used to hear it on the radio never knowing who it was and I got hooked to the mix of symphonic strings and the tribal beat.
This is one of my favourite songs of all time. It makes me feel joy and sadness, as I remember dancing to this at Warsaw Ballroom in Miami Beach, and so many wonderful friends that were dancing with me are no longer with us. X Thank you
Sound of my teenage years best years best decade for music this song was so unique and different for its time it was 20 years ahead of its time takes me back to great nightclubs in Newcastle & Whitley bay (North East UK) 🇬🇧
AuntieSoul34 ...Love Massive Attack! Another great song by Massive Attack is Protection with Tracey Thorn as vocalist and one of its writers. Tracey Thorn was a member of the band Everything But The Girl. 🎄🎄🎄
A perfect song, I listen this first time in an aircraft flying over Saudi Arabia in the night and saw the burning oil fields, an amazing moment in the life and believed in this moment to find somebody special!
3:01 takes me to another place .. the 90's had some of the best music .... 2020 and this beaut is as fresh as a daisy! Still puts the hairs on the back of my neck up
one of the most frustrating things about life is that there are so many other things to do in addition to playing this song. i will never have heard this enough.
I remember hearing this as a child and I have never forgotten it, ot definitely caught my emotions and feelings as a child i just didn't understand how to explain it back then.
30 years old and has aged beautifully like fine wine
Yay like us babe 😁😁😁
Wow has it been that long?? still can't this is 30yrs old & listening to this now definitely brings back loads of memories, this music is fabulous, breathtaking & spectacular in everyway as possible, this has been & always will be my all time favourite tune😊😉👍👍

Me too, one of my forever tunes ❤️
Angela... This song is a classic 100%...it never gets old
I'm listening to this in 1921, hasn't dated.

Amazing, heartwarming!!
Wow, congratulations!

Will still be fresh in 3020. What a tune eh 😉

🫠 I melt every time ! 😊
More than 32 years old and still sounds like it fell from another planet. Can’t get any more timeless than Massive Attack

I'm fall down in love with this voice... Seven one years old today.
Spring of 2024....and this song is still as fresh as a mountain daisy. 🌻
All these years later and will never get sick of listening to this. Still gives me the same feeling now as it did when I first heard it. Absolutely class tune.
27-11-2021. I'm 66 and just love this great song. I listen to it all the time. Greetings from Worcester UK
Hi!! Thankyou.. Age is knowledge!! :p
Everything about it is so beautiful; the deep, earth shattering bass, the melodic orchestra, her emotional painful tone, the bells. It’s the perfect song. How they wrote this masterpiece is beyond me. Just wonderful.
Unfinished sympathy for this song! A masterpiece.
The OG trip hop album has evolved into an all time musical masterpiece. God this thing helped get us through college in the 90s. I am 47 and it sounds as exquisite ever. Massive...
One of if not the greatest song ever written and recorded
This is one of the few songs to feel better in this ignorant and selfish world.
I know Susi has not texted this. I am Susi.

This song never ever grows old! Been listening to this track over 15 years
Legendary trip hop. Massive Attack still amazing in 2019.
good hair colour
Indeed!!
the best music always stands the test of time..I remember when this came out and I still love it.
Breakbeat
You must listen still corner, the best of trip hop too ✌🏻

One of those songs that NEVER ages, a true masterpiece. Will still be listening to this for years to come. 👌
Greatest song of the 90s. Pioneering, emotional, beautiful, gritty, captivating, transcendental art.
as a15 year old in 1990 its still surprises me how quickly time flys and how much the world has changed...
28 years later. Still such a beautiful chilled song
Timeless.
Es H I S T O R I C A ❤
Beautiful British classic. You'd have to be dead inside not to feel this.
Ain't just British it's a feeling it's us, I'm a London boy. Blessings on you all.x
It's the story of my life!!!
we will be dead inside together, then...
Haha... Well said.
A good old Irish tune 😉
i haven't been obsessed with a song like this in years - i think this is what i needed in my life right about now
Protection ❤
Me too, unfortunately we left meaningful and creative music back in the 90's. I'm also obsessed with 'Protection', 'Goldie Timless' and Bomb the Bass Winter in July.
love that feeling pure buzz.
Safe from harm,aswell.
Hope alls OK now
Those strings, into piano, what an outro, remember this being voted best tune of all time once, can’t argue with that.
Met a girl 27 years ago. Fell out of touch for a few years. Met her again later. Spent a few happy years before she passed on. This song sums up all those years in between and all the years after.
I've been there man🙏🏻
I am sorry. Seems she died much to young. You will still miss her.
This is such a beauty of a track, it's sooooo immersive
One of the best tracks to exist.. this takes you deep places
I simply can't get enough of listing to this classic song from the movie 1993 Sliver starring Sharon Stone and William Baldwin 🙂😉
Yeah, Sharon Stone 🥰😍😋🤤
The vocal, piano, strings and percussion on this are otherworldly.
The percussion on this track is next level.
Yeah, but when you consider the genius who perfectly juxtaposed that amazing percussion with both strings and piano, you get something that would bring tears to the eyes of Bach.
Possibly the greatest song ever written..
You obviously haven't heard much Mozart then. This is BRILLIANT, but hardly a "song?" You call instrumentals like this "Tracks" mate🦻
@@paulhalpin6301 Uhhh this is definitely a song buddy lol
@@clifford-jones Write me the lyrics down then, Cliff?! 😊😇🥰
@@paulhalpin6301 What? You are contradicting yourself
It's definitely my favourite. In the 90s (good times!) I used to listen to it before every school exam, chilled me out max and got me my straight As for A Levels :). A gift to the world
However many times I listen to this song I never get bored of it
This takes me back to my time in Germany... man, those were some of the best years of my young life and probably the best period in time for a person to have experienced life in that beautiful country that is Germany. I wish I had a time machine!
This track NEVER fails.
Just got the chills... I don’t know if it’s the cold weather or just the pure genius that is this song.
The sound is much better here. Who is still listening to this in nearly 2025? Resistance!!!
Every time i hear this song it stops me in my tracks.Whatever im doing i just stop and listen.Its haunting,it stirs emotions,it brings back. memories.Timeless piece of music.👏
The epotimy of Bristol music. Its lifted my mood for years and is just amazing.
Unbelievable...still edgey sound in 2018. Fell in love by a single listening. Respect.
💖✊🙏🏴
this is the paradigm of a timeless piece of music
i second that
One of the most definitive songs, from 30 years ago, unbeaten, unparalleled, just MASSIVE!!!
Those strings and those vocals and drums and production. Truly brilliant. And that one shot music video filmed in Los Angeles, too! Dang, 30 years ago!
Timeless piece,one of the most influential dance tracks ever,Massive big yourselves.thankyou.👍
This takes me directly back to my teeange era, what an amazing time to be alive, young, energetic and full of foolish optimism !
Timeless...Shara Nelson's voice is mindblowing
Let it be unfinished until the end of times❤
Shara Nelson, the vocalist, was one of 5 writers of the song. Thanks for posting it. 🎄😄🎵🎶🎼
28 years later. Still such a beautiful chilled song
Good chill out.
I love this song to the moon and back. How can you have a day without a night. Yep. How?
Andrea Mahoney
Body without a heart
Missing every part
Me too 🙂
Er... live on the North for their summer and then fly down to, and live, Antarctica for theirs. ;-)
It would make a good "cover" for this on line publishing thing.
This song is a poem carried by beautiful chords:
The curiousness of your potential kiss has got my mind and body aching .... love love
Them percussion sounds are Divine with this work of art.
This song is a masterpiece from Massive Attack. Pure vibe and class. Just amazing and spiritual.
One of the best song's I've ever heard. Absolutely fantastic song...could listen to it on repeat for hours on end.
@Lisa Summers, I accidentally came across this song when I pressed the wrong button on a Jukebox many years ago whilst playing pool. The best mistake of my life. 110% Agree with you!

I was about to type this :). Everytime I hear this song I end up crying ... and I never cry.
@@YasmineBel_ There's always that one time,dear.
3:20 goosebumps every time
This song gets in your guts and grabs it, then shakes it for about four and a half minutes. Unique feeling!
Beautiful British classic. You'd have to be dead inside not to feel this.
Still puts the hairs on the back of my neck up
A perfect song, I listen this first time in an aircraft flying over Saudi Arabia in the night and saw the burning oil fields, an amazing moment in the life and believed in this moment to find somebody special!
🇸🇦🔥🏜🏴✊
How long ago did u flew over🇸🇦in the craft to watch the oil fields at🌃and found ur new❤pal

I was flying from Dharan to Jeddah, 2 hours!

It’s more or less 10 years ago.
This song always gives me the chills its just to good everything about it is perfect.
I'M PLAYING THIS AT MY WEDDING AND I'M REQUESTING IT AT MY FUNERAL 😭🤙🏽💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Legendary trip hop. Massive Attack still amazing in 2019.

This tune is just fab! Touched my soul when I first heard it.
one of the most frustrating things about life is that there are so many other things to do in addition to playing this song.
i will never have heard this enough.
i love mainly this line: "You're the book that I have opened
And now I've got to know much more" - inspire me towards my lovely and beautiful wife :-)
💜💜💜💜💜
Beautiful, beautiful track. One of my all time favourites ❤
Best Trip Hop track EVER produced!
30 years old..."mother of mercy..."
Gosh. Still as beautiful as when I first heard it. Really wish I could go back to that moment knowing what I know now. Peace all. X
Sometimes with a song .... everything just fits to make it perfect.
This is one.
Tarde años en encontrar esta canción...
...sólo alcanzo a decir: es bellísima, todo está en su lugar: piano, voz, batería...
Almost 30 years of Unfinished Sympathy for this song.
