My best friend presented me Massive Attack, this song and so much more nearly 20 years ago. He passed away last month due to a sudden stroke at 36. The world lost the most talented, smart, passionated and lovely dude ever. Thanks, Thiago. Will always love you, dude.
Milky's I thought so, so many times, there are some drunk movements she makes that I thought it was impossible to make without having at least a little bit of a dizzyness. Wonderful performer.
When I saw this video for the first time, I cried but I paradoxically felt less alone, knowing that the suffering I was going through was something other people could relate to and were also living through at the same time as me.
i think the most painful thing is letting go of someone you love. you live with a continuous pain in your heart. every morning, every evening, you miss them..at the end of the day, you wipe your tears-regardless of what happened, you wish them the best. You pray for them every time.. .in memory of someone who loved this track... miss you!
Sadly, love is conditional and the condition? No love is absolutely equal and no heart break is absolutely mutual. One party is always left with a dark void. ♥
The end of this video brings up the many conflicting emotions of being intoxicated. That feeling of not being in control. At the same time, not caring about the realistic dangers of your surroundings but focusing just on the beauty of the night sky. Like that one moment takes away the pain of her broken heart.
Have you ever had your heart broken? You soon realise that it not only gets broken, but spat on, stamped on, scolded, frozen, stolen, given to someone you don't even know or like, then the empty gap becomes infected with misery, rots, eats away at what's left of you, & corrupts all aspects of life except escapism. You wear sadness like old leather, until one day you wake up with it still on; you never take it off, & that sadness becomes your solace; giving you the power to write songs like this.
Telling you. The depression made is a safe cave while the storm wrecks all you knew or wanted. A familiar haven closer to giving in than fighting back.
I don't know what you went through in life, but you got this right. Only pain purifies us to such a level where we see things for what they are. Hope you are well and know that you are not alone in this journey.
you just beat youself up and wallow instead of change. the train has been going this path so long, it gets hard to stop it, much less turn it the other direction, y a know?
look there is no easy way just think about other things really hard..become compulsive and obbsesive..like model building..just try to spend your money on something exopensine so you won't have money for anything else...it;s a process...then you will think like..''wow//o m hungry and yet not drunk'...please try...
Sadness, lonely, isolation, fed up with life, hide behind drink, does humanity really care, few folk really care, massive attack bring to light the reality.
Richard Scantlebury, I écho that: Bristol's finest band. Congratulations on overcoming your addiction. Remember, one day at a time - no matter how long you've been sober. Best of Luck to you.
This is one of those rare moments in life when a perfect lyric is interpreted by the perfect singer, Terry Collier's voice is just the voice for this song, the soul for this song. And then they make the perfect video for the song, so thank you. This is like a gift.
😢 C le problème de toutes les femmes qui souffre & se refugie dans l' Alcole où Autre. Malheureusement elles aggravent leur problèmes. 2 la peine pour C femmes. 😢
I love this song and the video. Ive been clean and sober for six years now but the video is still devastating. I was living alone because my marriage had fallen apart, largely because of my problems with alcohol and drugs. I met someone i loved desperately. Truly it was that once in a lifetime kind of thing. I'd never felt such love for another person like i did with her Absolutely nothing was right when she wasnt there. I hated not being with her. We were well and truly on our own little love cloud. She lived in another city so we were doing the long distance thing whereby she'd come to see me every now and then and i'd go to see her. One night she was in town and she told me she'd been unfaithful to me. It was like being stabbed in the heart. I never felt such pain and hurt as i did then. The wheels fell off. Too many nights like the one depicted in the clip. Its not nice coming to on your front lawn with no idea how you got there or waking up on a park bench miles from home with no idea how you got there. Thats just two of many examples i could give that happened over 30 odd years.. Its good to sometimes be reminded how bad things were for way too many years (i started when i was 16 and i stopped toward the end of my 40s. I have made a lot of bad decisions in my life but getting sober was not one of them. Great song, great clip
I'm so sorry, no one deserves the heart crushing pain of unfaithfulness. May your path lead to a stronger, deeper love - you deserve it. Hold your head high, you have many reasons to :)
I discovered this song a few years ago at just the right time. When I could appreciate and understand what was being shown, when I could relate to the loneliness and found it difficult to get through. It's almost like Terry is crying out to the girl in the video, massive attack is truly a gift to the world. This is one of their master pieces which I'll probably treasure to the grave. And it got me through, I promised myself I wouldn't let myself go like that. The last few seconds in the video, when the strings play that haunting tune, you could see the glimmer of hope in her eyes. Gosh what a brilliant video and masterful song.
I've watched this video dozens of times because this reflects my behaviour, and I'm scared. I'm scared of the reality of admitting how lonely I feel, how much my life has slipped while I wasn't paying attention, how much work will be involved in setting things straight, and how far I could fall if I were to not be completely sure of the decision to change. I'm scared of continuing on the same path, but I'm absolutely terrified of the idea of trying to change and failing in the process.
Trevor! It’s just life. Don’t be hard on yourself. We are all VERY flawed. Look forward, take small steps and accept that life is a ball buster but with much joy to be found. Take care, bro
Trevor - the important thing is not to delay or procrastinate, The sooner you get started and the more determined you are to set things straight, the happier you will be! Don’t be afraid of change, have fun and embrace it!
every single day (moment) counts as a new chance. It's never done. You just keep trying, in whatever your struggles and goals are. There are countless people pulling for you. Strangers, friends and family. Doubts are just thoughts you can let go of. Doubters are people you can just tune out. xx
That vision of her falling down the stairs was so haunting, the downward spiral (excuse the reference) into bleak hopelessness and despair... I've never been a drug addict (IMO alcohol is a drug), but I have dealt with an eating disorder and it shares a lot of similarities... luckily I had a supportive family and things to live for that helped my recovery but a lot of people don't.
@@mot00rzysta it means to be like me 😁 Because I feel nothing never loved anything and nothing ever loved me so I just don't care when I see stuff like this.
This is the best representation of alcoholism I’ve ever seen. -coming from an alcoholic. The image. The mannequin of success. And then this. It’s perfect. When she reaches for the bottle instead of the phone. Yep. That is 100. “I drink around people. I get drunk alone.” -Leo McGary, ‘the west wing’
This is the least representation of alcoholism, this is the bare minimum, it s like comparing a house owner with a job to a homeless person From what i see, it s just a girl having a bit of a problem drinking and trying to show it off on the street. Also, be real, not even a pro can gulb a vodka or rhum that quick unless it s water Coming from a fked up dude :/ But i like this song from person of interest
For me it was the end staring up at the stars and the drunk euphoria looking up at the stars. I got very philosophical when I got drunk alone. 3 years. Stopped because I was over it. Got old.
This song was playing when the absolute love of my life told me she was leaving me forever, like 3 days before Xmas. Havent loved since and its been years...Got drunk many times watching this video as it is burned into my brain and heart for always. Never had a problem drinking but i cut alcohol completely for 7 year now. Made a promise to a pal who died of cancer 2 months later that i would always think of him since we were drinking buddies; told him every time i wanted to drink i'd think of him and not drink at all... Sometimes i'd like to get drunk to that song again...just to vent and unwind but i dont since i promised. I miss the woman of my life and i miss my pal who was more a brother to me for 40 years. And when i see her drinking like that in the video i think i'd maybe like to destroy myself like this too. But i promised... and that promise keeps me from drinking the pain away because i never had the courage to end it all. This song to me is the musical representation of what a hole on your soul is ... I'll always love you my Evie and i miss you a lot my brother Dan. Wish you were both still in my life...
"Keiner kommt ungeboren davon." You are strong, stay strong. Even through inner promises. It sounds strange, but sometimes all your experience of bitterness, all your knowledge about that kind of constant falling, your ability to question worth and reason at the same time you are moving on - day to day - is this little spark of hope for someone else in another life but still the same world.
@@valentina47734 you have no idea of what he is talking about. respect and and learn from that for yourself and you shouldn't criticize other "natures" by simply saying what you don't know for sure but state it as truth. not everyone finds what he loses in this life. but the courage of that man is my strength tonight.
This is probably one of the best videos made from massive attack. It's sooo heartbreaking to watch her get so wasted so quickly, so incredibly sad. I do know well I did know what that feeling was like , to go to the liquor store , getting your drink, and getting home not even taking your coat off you just I just needed that first sip of beer ( the first sip was always the best) unfortunately. Then beer following wine and then vodka. Shit. The spins the f&@& awful hangovers , followed by panic attacks, followed by more trips to the liquor store. I always felt guilty going there , I was beginning to feel embarrassed the more I went. I kept drinking wine or beer, the withdrawal from no alcohol was awful and scary. I did stupid things being drunk, it wasn't always fun, it was pretty fucking Lonley( well for me) most of the times. It's been over 10 years now , I'm sober. And it's taken a lot of support and encouragement from people in my life, to help me understand to help me get better and pratice self care. Anyways love this band , beautifully made video.
I could have written that...drunk, hangover, anxiety attacks drunk hang over anxiety attacks drunk hang over anxiety attacks...stop. full stop. 10 years...
Well .. It seems so long ago that happend to me. I don't miss that feeling at all hangovers looking like shit the shakes ... Some of it was over a guy I was seeing at the time well ... Once we broke up it got worse. Life is strange isn't it? I'm better still some panic attacks its life stuff some insecurity but managing my life better yoga mantra ... Congrats on your sobriety. Best of luck to you it gets better and u start to feel and think differently appreciate the little things in this crazy life.⭐️
Jessica k. yeah i know what your saying, i watch this and unfortunately relate to it far to much, getting home from work hitting the shop on the way home a large litre bottle of whiskey will last me less then an hour, then some beers to follow, before passing out on the floor, in England its all to common, there is alot of people doing this
Какой фантастический диссонанс. И как это мудро и глубоко... Молитва текста и безнадёжный ужас видео. Сколько душевных сил и таланта было вложено... Я много лет знала только текст. Только слышала. Не видела клипа. Мало сказать потрясение. Перевернуло душу соединение слова и изображения. Спасибо создателям за мужество и мастерство
Никогда не знал текста... Но это моя одна из самых любимых композиций этой группы. Мне всегда казалось, что видеоряд очень точно передаёт смысл песни... Для меня, это печальная действительность Запада. Его безысходность...
Yes, indeed. This captures the hopelessness and loneliness of the alcoholic better than anything I've ever seen. It's always good for me to come back to before the Holidays start so I can be reminded. My
I've felt and done this exact thing. loss of control, drinking yourself into oblivion. but not as an alcoholic, as a wounded person. inside and out. it's lonely here.
Hits home soooo much , I used to pour it down the sink then go buy more to drink, the battle is intense for sure ,I thank the heaven stars to be 11 years clean and sober 💙
I always wonder how a little boy from Spanish Harlem, was so drawn to these icons from Bristol.. this is not music, this is art! Decades later as a man, we all in the struggle, we all hurting . Say less homies, Massive Attack i love y’all niccas
Woo, hoo It don't matter when you turn Gonna survive You live and learn I've been thinkin' about you, baby By the light of dawn A midnight blue, day and night I've been missing you I've been thinkin' about you, baby Almost makes me crazy Come and live with me Either way, win or lose When you're born into trouble You live the blues I've been thinkin' about you, baby See it almost makes me crazy Times, nothing's right, if you ain't here I'll give all that I have just to keep you near I wrote you a letter, I tried to make it clear That you just don't believe that I'm sincere I've been thinking about you, baby Woo, hoo, hoo Plans and schemes Hopes and fears Dreams that deny for all these years I, I've been thinkin' about you, baby Living with me, wow I've been thinkin' about you, baby Makes me wanna Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo Yeah, yeah, yeah Times, nothing's right, if you ain't here I'll give all that I have just to keep you near I wrote you a letter, darling tried to make it clear But you just don't believe that I'm sincere I've been thinkin' about you, baby I want you to live with me, wow I've been thinkin' about you, baby I want you to live with me
I'm from Bristol and have grown up with this band and struggle to pick a favourite M.A. song but love this one to bits. It's a real shame the singer, Terry Callier, died in 2012.
Rolling down the spiral staircase is that feeling when you're flat on your back and the world is spinning. Don't miss that in the years since I stopped.
I like the idea it's finally hitting rock bottom and now there's nowhere to go but up. I was lucky I had two people I haven't met in my life carry a message that got me up.
This might very well be the single most powerful music video ever made! The music is (as always with massive attack) excellent, but the video is god damn epic! Most theater movies can only dream of this level of intensity and rock solid sincereness! I salute the makers of this piece of everlasting art!
I was an alcoholic for 10 years (from when I was 14 to 24). Got worse after the Army and as I got older. Done this so many fucking times, still get drunk every once and a while. Try not to though. Just ruins everything, at least for me. Well I ruin things because I have been drinking, can't blame a liquid for my problems. Just sitting in an apartment by yourself lonely as fuck getting drunk. Always looking for a love that cannot bartered traded or sold and would always be worth far more than fame,power, and gold. Never finding it because you don't love yourself *sigh* the farther away I get from drinking the closer I feel to not being alone. Fall off the wagon now and then but just got to get back on. Love, Massive Attack. These dudes, Groove Armada, and Handsome Boy Modeling School prolly put out most of the music I listen to.
***** Yeah man. I was homeless just recently because of my alcoholism. Hell I just spent the weekend in jail because of it. Got popped stealing a bottle couple months ago, bailed on the community service and got arrested when I got pulled over. Stay strong man and I'll do the same. No matter how much you drink or how fast you run you will never get away from who you are and when you don't like yourself that is a hard thing to realize. I want to get married, have kids and shit but in order for that to happen I have to respect myself and that is impossible if I drink. We can't escape our fate brother, but we can rise to meet it if we wish and for the first time in my life I wish to. I hope you find the courage to do the same man. Just don't open that bottle brother, the small amount of happiness it will bring is fleeting and it asks for to much sorrow in return. Good luck.
Keith Turner hang in there. I fight drinking a lot. im 25 been fighting since 14 as well. I keep thinking i am fine, but i know im not, and i have "set backs" i am so full of shit.. i just notice how i become more shut off from others and my life is slipping away. I have no idea how i will get out of this. I hate it. i wish i didn't feel better when i drank, but i do. I hate hiding it from my family. i wish the best for anyone here and pray we all get thru it eventually and if not... i'll buy a round for us all. :/
Keith Turner Love Groove Armada and Massive Attack. Thank you for introducing me to Handsome Boy Modeling School! Entered it in the search listened to first song and dug the shit out of it.
This song cuts me to the core. Every single time. The video hits me in the soul. Every single time. That feeling is pure, refined twenty-four karet emotion and it makes my heart open like a sinkhole. It makes me miss every person I've ever lost in my life, and there have been a lot of them. That's art for you.
Got to admit it is a masterpiece both the music and video working in collaboration. Really pulls at the heart strings. So elequently put by Dylan Dekk.
Is the cruelest shit ever I might say, panic attacks, confusion and hopeless all at once... is till that point where u don't know if u re better alive or dead
Absolutely, depression can be terrible. I was the most happy go lucky confident person yet it nearly destroyed me. I've been through it. Thank you for this comment as so many leaving ignorant judgemental comments about the girl in the film
Life has no rule book, full stop. We stumble through it the best way we can, some better than others. End result is the same ultimately isn't it. Just hope all you beautiful souls who are struggling get a chance of happiness.
Seems like redeeming structure is the only hope, usually finding it or making it because generally it won't just happen for us. Even without relationships there'd be less of this if it weren't such a Hobbesian set and setting.
I remember being in an absolutely fkd up relationship, loving that person to the bits and dreaming of being with him, living with him. I was so heartbroken, so desperate. This song is made of tears and strongest emotions lived.
I`m not an alcoholic, but this song, this video has made me cry a lot, has made me fell so little, miserable and at the same incredibly empathetic and compassionate.
I'm 43 years old and I've properly listened to music for most of those years. This track aches in a way that I don't think I've ever heard before. Vocals, bassline, strings, drums, arrangement and production. It's just all exactly where it needs to be. Raw talent and ability is what this is. Team it with a gritty video. Boom. Only Massive Attack!

Because we're all sick in some way..the moment I gave up my life living for this world, I became free..I'm not of this world anymore..now I'm truly free =) and I regret nothing 💜💜💜 God bless
You keep living for this world, you'll always be in for constant disappointment. You live for something else greater beyond this world, beyond this life, then you'll find meaning and purpose as you look up to the stars. Happy is the person who has someone to look up at those stars with them. the material falls away; the immaterial stays
I always think the saddest part is when her phone is ringing and it could be anybody. someone she loves, a friend to help, maybe even the very person she's missing. And instead of picking up the phone that could change thangs for her.... She goes for the bottle...
Massive Attack has been my favorite Band since the first song I heard. Then the videos to their songs are so so good and with meaning. This is one of the best! I love love this song. Beautiful song with a very strong Visual message.
That feeling you get from the first sip of beer, after work, living a terrible and uneventful life. In my car after work, stopping by the booze shop, cracking the first one during afternoon commute, sometimes taking the longer way home, to have couple of them. Just breaking free of everything, the past, all the failures. That first sip, that fucking sip of thirst.
I've been getting that way through this pandemic. I drank every night before hand, but I have been drinking earlier in the day as of late. I have other issues I am going through, so that may be why. Life can be tough.
Some of us have been there With King Alcohol With Heroin With so many newer things I don’t even know them & their names ( I’m 31 years clean … some of the kids doing these things weren’t even born when I stopped doing them) This is just a.way to beat & numb a deeper trauma & pain of ours … this is a symptom of a deeper cause those of us who recover do understand that All I’m saying is … makes my hair stand up & heart beat so loud To see her like this To see me in her And then to thank my Almighty & Her Grace & of course my Rehab & AA & my sponsor & close friends ( and even the tough love of my first wife who got me sober but she’d got so badly broken up that she had to then leave ) Love this song … very close to how it was & how it’ll always be for those of us who are in it May they too find the Faith & the Grace of God to get Free You can’t do this on your own .,. There’s no such thing as Will Power …the greatest of will powers dissolves in the first drink of alcohol & melts in the first chase of smack on that foil
Blues scale played on strings, a softly distorted Rhodes and Terry's voice to tie it all together. Not to mention the powerful lyrics. Perfect melancholy.
I lost my wife to alcohol. Then took 20 years to dry out My kids said they would disown me if i kept drunking. So now i can look forward to more grandchildren Even great grandkids. Blessings
People who are deep thinking emotional types will understand this video perfectly. I can relate and would like to meet you sometime. Stay strong my friend.
I'm just coming out of DUI probation. I've never hit anyone. I realized as I sat in a class the other day, I've been hit by 3 drunk drivers...I never even thought of it this way. I've spent 25k over getting pulled over. Alcohol is not such a great thing. Not much good comes of it, especially outside the safety of your home. People really taking advantage....of slipping things in drinks. This is a powerful song. Speaks to so many people. Sad to lose people to drinking themselves to death. Or drunk driving. Lesson learned. I won't make that mistake ever again. Glad I didn't kill anyone in that condition. .
My mother was an alcoholic. A wonderful woman. A rock star with 7 kids and a family business that she worked so hard at. You have no idea. Booze crept up on her and put her and us through 15 years of hell. She did have about 6 sober years before passing at 63. She was rte very best.

This is the saddest and most beautiful videoclip ever.
The end of this video brings up the many conflicting emotions of being intoxicated. That feeling of not being in control. At the same time, not caring about the realistic dangers of your surroundings but focusing just on the beauty of the night sky. Like that one moment takes away the pain of her broken heart.

Have you ever had your heart broken? You soon realise that it not only gets broken, but spat on, stamped on, scolded, frozen, stolen, given to someone you don't even know or like, then the empty gap becomes infected with misery, rots, eats away at what's left of you, & corrupts all aspects of life except escapism. You wear sadness like old leather, until one day you wake up with it still on; you never take it off, & that sadness becomes your solace; giving you the power to write songs like this.
your words brought tears in my eyes
you hit home with this
This reply is literally a song. Pure philosophical poetry. Hope you are on the mend and your life is healing in all aspects. Be well and thrive.
Telling you. The depression made is a safe cave while the storm wrecks all you knew or wanted. A familiar haven closer to giving in than fighting back.
I don't know what you went through in life, but you got this right. Only pain purifies us to such a level where we see things for what they are. Hope you are well and know that you are not alone in this journey.
The days become weeks, weeks become months, months become years and sorrow remains your constant companion.
Yeah still same
Oh
My
you just beat youself up and wallow instead of change. the train has been going this path so long, it gets hard to stop it, much less turn it the other direction, y a know?
look there is no easy way just think about other things really hard..become compulsive and obbsesive..like model building..just try to spend your money on something exopensine so you won't have money for anything else...it;s a process...then you will think like..''wow//o m hungry and yet not drunk'...please try...
... I lost 25 years of my life for that.: constant companion. I couldn't save my mother, though...
Sadness, lonely, isolation, fed up with life, hide behind drink, does humanity really care, few folk really care, massive attack bring to light the reality.
wow ... that is so deep :(
I think it's true and very few care.
It is deep, because the problem goes deeper

Keep up the great work!! You can accomplish this.
The fall hurts. Without falling, there is no rising. As long as there was no fall
hope everything is going ok ,plenty of good days ahead of you
how did you get sober please? medicine?
C’est bien mon gars ,continue comme ça et ta vie va complètement changer ,pour le meilleur 😉🙏
I love this song and the video. Ive been clean and sober for six years now but the video is still devastating. I was living alone because my marriage had fallen apart, largely because of my problems with alcohol and drugs. I met someone i loved desperately. Truly it was that once in a lifetime kind of thing. I'd never felt such love for another person like i did with her
Absolutely nothing was right when she wasnt there. I hated not being with her. We were well and truly on our own little love cloud. She lived in another city so we were doing the long distance thing whereby she'd come to see me every now and then and i'd go to see her. One night she was in town and she told me she'd been unfaithful to me. It was like being stabbed in the heart. I never felt such pain and hurt as i did then. The wheels fell off. Too many nights like the one depicted in the clip. Its not nice coming to on your front lawn with no idea how you got there or waking up on a park bench miles from home with no idea how you got there. Thats just two of many examples i could give that happened over 30 odd years.. Its good to sometimes be reminded how bad things were for way too many years (i started when i was 16 and i stopped toward the end of my 40s. I have made a lot of bad decisions in my life but getting sober was not one of them. Great song, great clip
Good for you brother ! ✊🏼
I'm so sorry, no one deserves the heart crushing pain of unfaithfulness. May your path lead to a stronger, deeper love - you deserve it. Hold your head high, you have many reasons to :)
Never, ever drink again. It’s poison for the body but worse.. it’s poison for the mind. May you laugh a 1000 laughs in the years ahead and be content.
I discovered this song a few years ago at just the right time. When I could appreciate and understand what was being shown, when I could relate to the loneliness and found it difficult to get through. It's almost like Terry is crying out to the girl in the video, massive attack is truly a gift to the world. This is one of their master pieces which I'll probably treasure to the grave. And it got me through, I promised myself I wouldn't let myself go like that. The last few seconds in the video, when the strings play that haunting tune, you could see the glimmer of hope in her eyes. Gosh what a brilliant video and masterful song.
Your comment is really brilliant 👏
👌
I first heard this trak watching a movie I think called "hush" might not be right. But was soundtrack music to a hard hitting film. I love this song.

I've watched this video dozens of times because this reflects my behaviour, and I'm scared. I'm scared of the reality of admitting how lonely I feel, how much my life has slipped while I wasn't paying attention, how much work will be involved in setting things straight, and how far I could fall if I were to not be completely sure of the decision to change. I'm scared of continuing on the same path, but I'm absolutely terrified of the idea of trying to change and failing in the process.
Trevor! It’s just life. Don’t be hard on yourself. We are all VERY flawed. Look forward, take small steps and accept that life is a ball buster but with much joy to be found. Take care, bro
Have You read Jordan Peterson's books? Especialy Antidote for Chaos?
Trevor - the important thing is not to delay or procrastinate, The sooner you get started and the more determined you are to set things straight, the happier you will be! Don’t be afraid of change, have fun and embrace it!
hello Trevor, what you say is probably true for a lot of us ;) have trust in you, looks like you have the strenght to do a lot of things !
every single day (moment) counts as a new chance. It's never done. You just keep trying, in whatever your struggles and goals are. There are countless people pulling for you. Strangers, friends and family. Doubts are just thoughts you can let go of. Doubters are people you can just tune out. xx

That vision of her falling down the stairs was so haunting, the downward spiral (excuse the reference) into bleak hopelessness and despair... I've never been a drug addict (IMO alcohol is a drug), but I have dealt with an eating disorder and it shares a lot of similarities... luckily I had a supportive family and things to live for that helped my recovery but a lot of people don't.

This is the best representation of alcoholism I’ve ever seen. -coming from an alcoholic.
The image. The mannequin of success. And then this. It’s perfect. When she reaches for the bottle instead of the phone. Yep. That is 100.
“I drink around people. I get drunk alone.”
-Leo McGary, ‘the west wing’
Demons do exist...this they are telling you
Sometimes I lie on the phone, think is worst.
This is the least representation of alcoholism, this is the bare minimum, it s like comparing a house owner with a job to a homeless person
From what i see, it s just a girl having a bit of a problem drinking and trying to show it off on the street.
Also, be real, not even a pro can gulb a vodka or rhum that quick unless it s water
Coming from a fked up dude :/
But i like this song from person of interest
Agreed. Let's drink to it! Whiskey or a beer, that wonderful taste...
For me it was the end staring up at the stars and the drunk euphoria looking up at the stars. I got very philosophical when I got drunk alone. 3 years. Stopped because I was over it. Got old.
i cried when watching this . my close friend is struggling with drink and drugs .kids theres nothing glamorous about them
Songs like this prove that Massive Attack is one of the most under-rated bands ever.
Absolutely
They just never sell off
They're quite rated actually. Just so you know 😝
Daniel Griffith. Not under rated, appreciated by people who ho know and discovered by people who want to know.
How is almost 15 million views underrated? Shit, some of my favorite bands only have 10 thousand views.
This song was playing when the absolute love of my life told me she was leaving me forever, like 3 days before Xmas. Havent loved since and its been years...Got drunk many times watching this video as it is burned into my brain and heart for always. Never had a problem drinking but i cut alcohol completely for 7 year now. Made a promise to a pal who died of cancer 2 months later that i would always think of him since we were drinking buddies; told him every time i wanted to drink i'd think of him and not drink at all... Sometimes i'd like to get drunk to that song again...just to vent and unwind but i dont since i promised. I miss the woman of my life and i miss my pal who was more a brother to me for 40 years. And when i see her drinking like that in the video i think i'd maybe like to destroy myself like this too. But i promised... and that promise keeps me from drinking the pain away because i never had the courage to end it all. This song to me is the musical representation of what a hole on your soul is ... I'll always love you my Evie and i miss you a lot my brother Dan. Wish you were both still in my life...
Fac tisse There is so much more in life than regret and sadness. I hope you have found it by now.
"Keiner kommt ungeboren davon."
You are strong, stay strong. Even through inner promises.
It sounds strange, but sometimes all your experience of bitterness, all your knowledge about that kind of constant falling, your ability to question worth and reason at the same time you are moving on - day to day - is this little spark of hope for someone else in another life but still the same world.
Hope you’re ok
Hang in there, I hope the year was kind to you, don't give up...

Oh my god I just finished watching 'Zone of Interest' and Im stunned that Jon Glazer directed this. Brilliant musicians and a brilliant director.
This is probably one of the best videos made from massive attack. It's sooo heartbreaking to watch her get so wasted so quickly, so incredibly sad. I do know well I did know what that feeling was like , to go to the liquor store , getting your drink, and getting home not even taking your coat off you just I just needed that first sip of beer ( the first sip was always the best) unfortunately.
Then beer following wine and then vodka. Shit. The spins the f&@& awful hangovers , followed by panic attacks, followed by more trips to the liquor store. I always felt guilty going there , I was beginning to feel embarrassed the more I went. I kept drinking wine or beer, the withdrawal from no alcohol was awful and scary. I did stupid things being drunk, it wasn't always fun, it was pretty fucking Lonley( well for me) most of the times. It's been over 10 years now , I'm sober. And it's taken a lot of support and encouragement from people in my life, to help me understand to help me get better and pratice self care. Anyways love this band , beautifully made video.
I could have written that...drunk, hangover, anxiety attacks drunk hang over anxiety attacks drunk hang over anxiety attacks...stop. full stop. 10 years...
Well .. It seems so long ago that happend to me. I don't miss that feeling at all hangovers looking like shit the shakes ... Some of it was over a guy I was seeing at the time well ... Once we broke up it got worse. Life is strange isn't it?
I'm better still some panic attacks its life stuff some insecurity but managing my life better yoga mantra ...
Congrats on your sobriety. Best of luck to you it gets better and u start to feel and think differently appreciate the little things in this crazy life.⭐️
Jessica k. yeah i know what your saying, i watch this and unfortunately relate to it far to much, getting home from work hitting the shop on the way home a large litre bottle of whiskey will last me less then an hour, then some beers to follow, before passing out on the floor, in England its all to common, there is alot of people doing this
Nailed it. I love this video because it truly depicts a downward spiral of sadness
Jessica k. Love

Never once have I listened to this song without weeping. It tears my heart out. The sadness is too much to bear.
Same here. One of my favorite songs of all time.
There is solace in the music if you let it take you. 🙂
I'm from Bristol and have grown up with this band and struggle to pick a favourite M.A. song but love this one to bits. It's a real shame the singer, Terry Callier, died in 2012.
Eu não sabia disto 😭
Really! Thats ashame he sang this beautifully it has a great 70's effect to me great song!
Rolling down the spiral staircase is that feeling when you're flat on your back and the world is spinning. Don't miss that in the years since I stopped.
That was the point I got sick. Don't miss it either.
I like the idea it's finally hitting rock bottom and now there's nowhere to go but up. I was lucky I had two people I haven't met in my life carry a message that got me up.
!
This song always makes me cry. Beautiful and heartbreaking.
This might very well be the single most powerful music video ever made! The music is (as always with massive attack) excellent, but the video is god damn epic! Most theater movies can only dream of this level of intensity and rock solid sincereness! I salute the makers of this piece of everlasting art!
I was an alcoholic for 10 years (from when I was 14 to 24). Got worse after the Army and as I got older. Done this so many fucking times, still get drunk every once and a while. Try not to though. Just ruins everything, at least for me. Well I ruin things because I have been drinking, can't blame a liquid for my problems.
Just sitting in an apartment by yourself lonely as fuck getting drunk. Always looking for a love that cannot bartered traded or sold and would always be worth far more than fame,power, and gold. Never finding it because you don't love yourself *sigh* the farther away I get from drinking the closer I feel to not being alone. Fall off the wagon now and then but just got to get back on. Love, Massive Attack. These dudes, Groove Armada, and Handsome Boy Modeling School prolly put out most of the music I listen to.
*****
Yeah man. I was homeless just recently because of my alcoholism. Hell I just spent the weekend in jail because of it. Got popped stealing a bottle couple months ago, bailed on the community service and got arrested when I got pulled over. Stay strong man and I'll do the same. No matter how much you drink or how fast you run you will never get away from who you are and when you don't like yourself that is a hard thing to realize. I want to get married, have kids and shit but in order for that to happen I have to respect myself and that is impossible if I drink. We can't escape our fate brother, but we can rise to meet it if we wish and for the first time in my life I wish to. I hope you find the courage to do the same man. Just don't open that bottle brother, the small amount of happiness it will bring is fleeting and it asks for to much sorrow in return. Good luck.
Keith Turner nobody gives a shit
Keith Turner hang in there. I fight drinking a lot. im 25 been fighting since 14 as well. I keep thinking i am fine, but i know im not, and i have "set backs" i am so full of shit.. i just notice how i become more shut off from others and my life is slipping away. I have no idea how i will get out of this. I hate it. i wish i didn't feel better when i drank, but i do. I hate hiding it from my family. i wish the best for anyone here and pray we all get thru it eventually and if not... i'll buy a round for us all. :/
you'll get through it
Keith Turner Love Groove Armada and Massive Attack. Thank you for introducing me to Handsome Boy Modeling School! Entered it in the search listened to first song and dug the shit out of it.
This song cuts me to the core. Every single time. The video hits me in the soul. Every single time. That feeling is pure, refined twenty-four karet emotion and it makes my heart open like a sinkhole. It makes me miss every person I've ever lost in my life, and there have been a lot of them. That's art for you.
I agree. The video always hits home. My dad was an alcoholic and I've been almost running down his track. I am scared for my life.
Got to admit it is a masterpiece both the music and video working in collaboration. Really pulls at the heart strings. So elequently put by Dylan Dekk.

The beauty of sorrow and 'want'....perfectly captured in this story. As only Massive can do it.....
Life has no rule book, full stop. We stumble through it the best way we can, some better than others. End result is the same ultimately isn't it. Just hope all you beautiful souls who are struggling get a chance of happiness.
Seems like redeeming structure is the only hope, usually finding it or making it because generally it won't just happen for us. Even without relationships there'd be less of this if it weren't such a Hobbesian set and setting.

That feeling you get from the first sip of beer, after work, living a terrible and uneventful life. In my car after work, stopping by the booze shop, cracking the first one during afternoon commute, sometimes taking the longer way home, to have couple of them. Just breaking free of everything, the past, all the failures. That first sip, that fucking sip of thirst.
Can relate with you bro
I've been getting that way through this pandemic. I drank every night before hand, but I have been drinking earlier in the day as of late. I have other issues I am going through, so that may be why. Life can be tough.
Idk why but the string work at the end makes me teary eyed.. a bittersweet lingering emotion, with tinge of hope.
Some of us have been there
With King Alcohol
With Heroin
With so many newer things I don’t even know them & their names ( I’m 31 years clean … some of the kids doing these things weren’t even born when I stopped doing them)
This is just a.way to beat & numb a deeper trauma & pain of ours …
this is a symptom of a deeper cause
those of us who recover do understand that
All I’m saying is …
makes my hair stand up & heart beat so loud
To see her like this
To see me in her
And then to thank my Almighty & Her Grace & of course my Rehab & AA & my sponsor & close friends ( and even the tough love of my first wife who got me sober but she’d got so badly broken up that she had to then leave )
Love this song … very close to how it was & how it’ll always be for those of us who are in it
May they too find the Faith & the Grace of God to get Free
You can’t do this on your own .,. There’s no such thing as Will Power …the greatest of will powers dissolves in the first drink of alcohol & melts in the first chase of smack on that foil
Excellent music, as expected, but crushingly sad, beautiful video.
Massive Attack are amazing. Just love them.
Blues scale played on strings, a softly distorted Rhodes and Terry's voice to tie it all together. Not to mention the powerful lyrics. Perfect melancholy.
Chacun peut adapter ce morceau au drame qu'il vit. Je l'écoute à chaque fois que la douleur se réveille.
I lost my wife to alcohol.
Then took 20 years to dry out
My kids said they would disown me if i kept drunking.
So now i can look forward to more grandchildren
Even great grandkids.
Blessings
People who are deep thinking emotional types will understand this video perfectly. I can relate and would like to meet you sometime. Stay strong my friend.
So beautiful
Thanks xxx
@@yfonful my pleasure...
I love at the end showing her falling down the spiral staircase just to die. Not so subtle or poetic, they wanted everyone to understand the message
bless you
Something this special has never been repeated. Truly another place.
This song made always tears in my eyes, because I had people in my circle of relatives, who died as a result of alcoholism!
I'm just coming out of DUI probation. I've never hit anyone. I realized as I sat in a class the other day, I've been hit by 3 drunk drivers...I never even thought of it this way. I've spent 25k over getting pulled over. Alcohol is not such a great thing. Not much good comes of it, especially outside the safety of your home. People really taking advantage....of slipping things in drinks.
This is a powerful song. Speaks to so many people. Sad to lose people to drinking themselves to death. Or drunk driving. Lesson learned. I won't make that mistake ever again. Glad I didn't kill anyone in that condition. .
My mother was an alcoholic. A wonderful woman. A rock star with 7 kids and a family business that she worked so hard at. You have no idea. Booze crept up on her and put her and us through 15 years of hell. She did have about 6 sober years before passing at 63. She was rte very best.
as an alcoholic, this hit home. 6 months sober and counting.
this song helped me to stop drinking alcohol, 15 moths i am clean
Keep on going Bro ! with are with you !
I am rooting for you
Keep going trooper!
All the best from a fellow alcoholic. Sober now too after 2 times ICU.
This is so hard to watch, such a brilliant depiction of alcoholism. Certainly one of best music videos I've seen.
I think so. This video is so sad
Definitivamente, es muy duro de ver, pero es la vida real, al menos yo, me veo reflejada en su totalidad a ella, incluso en la imprudencia de salir a la calle en ese estado, y aún sigo luchando con ello... y que me llevo a esto? Siempre he sido deportista, pero mi ex marido me arrastró a sus vicios, el alcohol, y aún me cuesta dejarlo en su totalidad... que triste, parece que me veo en el video...
@@yamiletmena6969 yo me reflejo en este video, y me dieron ganas de llorar, es triste y mucha gente esta igual pero no por el vicio sino por la soledad, la vida, el mundo, el sistema !!! me duele demasiado, uno se siente solo, decepcionado , impotente, yo bebo ocasionalmente pero ultimamente me dan ganas de beber, emborracharme para no pensar, pero estoy conciente del riesgo entonces, bebo un vaso me fumo uno bien condimentado :) y busco cosas buenas positivas; NO PERMITAS QUE TE DESTRUYAN
@@angeldestradamuchas gracias!! En ocasiones viene muy bien un ánimo de gente que no conoces, por que vaya que la estoy pasando mal, sumado a la ansiedad, pero supongo que nada dura para siempre, asi que espero salir de esto pronto. Gracias
@@yamiletmena6969 nada es eterno y toma en cuenta que mucha gente "todo el mundo" carga su propio equipaje con buenas y malas cosas es a ti de tomar la disicion de como vas a llevar tu equipaje,: llorando, cantando o luchando?? yo estoy tambien muy mal es un periodo de muchas angustias y decepciones, no puedo hacer nada aparte de vivir el dia a dia lo mejor que puedo . piensa tambien en que tu tienes la suerte de muchas cosas al menos no vives en un pais de guerra, eso quiere decir que tienes muchas oportunidades. el dinero es basura no te preocupes por eso, ocupate de ser feliz de verdad!! dentro de lo que se puede. ten fe en ti se agradecida con la vida, amate y ama el mundo. yo vivo en francia soy de colombia y tu?
Coming up on 2 years sober, this video makes my skin crawl thinking about how close to reality it is. Powerful track!
