The year was 1994...when Mtv played good music. I was 15 and got hooked on those new sounds. Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead etc... What an era.
Don’t like trip hop except these bands had something about them that moved me.
John Kilrain Blackstone we lived in paradise and did not know it...
i was 21 - good times
Was flcl out around that time? Sorry too lazy to check myself
This song was hardly played on MTV Europe. Only its follow up
No one else makes music like this. Massive Attack is a true gem

Nicolette has one of the most unique voices in all of music.
Her voice is exquisite
Her voice reminds of Eartha Kitt.
one of the most influential eras of modern music. the birth of trip hop.
You wish...

what?
@@Wilantonjakov "..."Blue Lines" introduce un nuovo genere musicale, inizialmente chiamato "Bristol sound" ed etichettato in seguito come "trip hop", etichetta che i Massive Attack NON hanno mai gradito..." ("Massive Attack" on Italian Wikipedia).

Tricky’s Maxinquaye♥️
After 30 years I still feel goose bumps all over my body.
still manages to be both spiritual and sensual, light and deep simultaneously. imho their most underrated track!
YES!
Hell yes
My favourite track...for all the reasons you mentioned
Massive Attack is pure gold.
Massive Attack always found some of the most beautiful singers
Tricky ain't that beautiful.
@@antoniobolgnameyerwe3844 I'm talking about voice
@@arancienne LOL yeah I was just joking.
beautiful on the hideous way
Lmmfao
My second favourite Massive Attack song, after Unfinished Sympathy. Still sounds amazing.
Sounds as fresh now as it did 21 years ago. Those strings are so sexy.
21 YEARS AGO ??????!!!! NO WAY.... Wow, I am LATE!!!!!
this is awesome and im turning 20 in one week
[Verse 1: Nicolette]
I try to believe what I feel these days
It makes life much easier for me
It's hard to decide what is real these days
When things look so dizzy to me
[Verse 2]
I already know my children's children's faces
Voices that I've heard before
There's always more
There's always more
[Hook]
Wondering leaving the sea behind
To my home which everybody owns
Wondering, wondering
Where we can do what we please
Wondering
[Verse 3]
I feel like a thousand years have passed
I'm younger than I used to be
I feel like the world is my home at last
I know everyone that I meet
[Verse 4]
Somewhere in the music I can hear the bells
I heard a thousand years before
There's always more
There's always more
[Hook 2]
Wondering is this there all there is
Since I was since I began to be
Wondering, wandering
Where we can do what we please
Wondering
is it wondering, or wandering? it feels like some places should be wandering.
Wandering not wondering
@@Rcdvst808 These lyrics are from a site, I posted them so I can sing along when I'm sad.
Spiritual🙏
Massive attack has many songs that you can call popular but Sly is kinda underrated I think. This song responds in my soul. Every time while I listening to this I get very emotional (but among people I'm always cold as ice whenever its possible) and think about beauty, harmony, all that stuff. That mood, vibe, sound... Everything made just perfect. I wish it could last longer every time, ehh...
you gotta love trip hop. all these years later and doesn't sound aged at all. at least to my ears. in a perfect world this sound would dominate the charts.
Totally agree with you
3:46 till the end - my fav part, always have goosebumps since first listening
love this, orchestra is amazing

this track will never die
This song and promo video have aged exceptionally well.
+SoulStylistJukeBox Damn i've been reading that promo as porno, i really need to check my eyes.
so did i. then i thought, well she is cute and all that, but... lolski
SoulStylistJukeBox lol good things always age well :)
@@VonGutta you should see my package!
@@jaimhaas5170 shoe me your package :D
Massive Attack music is always tasteful. A delicacy to the ears.
I am coming from the future to say that "you are goddamn right"!
3:39 That second bridge is dope asf.
This is a masterpiece
An example of why the late 90s were so much more elegant than today.. Fashion, music... everything.
Yeah man frosted tips are classy as fuck
Correction: Mid to late 90s/very early 2Ks ;-)
Couldn't agree more with you!!!!
I reckon popular cultural capital got cashed in after 9/11
I for one am Happy that we don't have to deal with the 90s anymore
Way way beyond what most humans understood at this time! I am sooo greatful to Massive Attack and my beloved friends introduced me to them! Thank You!
U should stop doing tarot bc when you base the manners that u treat people on a card game you are not treating them as they deserve
for me this song is about the perception that your soul has been here before...feelings of an old soul and a mind more sensitive to the chaos and more aware of intuition and the realm of the unseen spiritual ...I also was reminded of the diffrences and similarities of culture religion and oppression psychology versus psychic ability etcetera
the lyrics say it all ;) :)
I personally think it's about the detachment from nature, critical view of expectation of always wanting more and a dizziness of the robotic, chaotic, bland, banal, monochrome tones of urban society.
This song makes me feel nostalgic over something I've never even touched before.
Same
Wow - the music, Nicolette's beautiful voice plus the stunning images... what a trip! 😌
I have loved and listened to massive attack music for more than 20 years; and it will stay like that!
Now I would like to know from you how many people around the world will continue to hear these miracles in 2024, and from where?
I hope to see MA next Tour…maybe in my city-Berlin ❤
Blue Lines (1991) -> Protection (1994) -> Mezzanine (1998) -> 100th Window (2003) -> Heligoland (2010)
Yeah, they need to make another official Album. It's been long over due.
I don't listen much to trip hop but this is brilliant. Always been a fan of Massive Attack, esp the first three albums.
Can we get this in HIGHER RESOLUTION ????? Common guys, I love you.
Yeah
Please 😢
This still my song in 2024🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
one of my favorite Massive Attack songs
You come across real jewels in music every so often. This is great
Greatest Massive song..so far..
Takes me back...
As to be so, SLY and wonder the Earth free, doing as you please, serving God within in his Chi.
in 1995 I played this song for 6 months straight before I could play anything else
+maha77 this song is from 95 wow that s amazing
+Decio Manhica 1994
+Andrea Sollai thanks man
+maha77 it's really not that good
+maha77 With which instrument?
massiveattack will always do it for me deff one of my favourite's ever
One of their most underrated singles by faaar!!! The strings, Nicolette, harmony, chorus, simply one of their best songs!!!
i spent an evening watching all the massive Attack video clips... i am amazed how rich, beautifully scenographed they are. Each is a complex story. I haven't seen anything like that for a very long time. Made me very nostalgic too. I remember I was finishing high school when my best friend bring me their CD
INCREDIBLE Album !!! Years after, still genius !!
I love the mysterious atmosphere they put in their music. Nicolette adds a beautiful touch with her voice.
I heard this song in my dream the other night. Woke up singing it. ❤️ Massive.
lol same
2021 - still a masterpiece !!! Brilliant vibes and perfect vocals
This song and this video are just so amazingly hypnotic that I find myself coming back to this song time and time again
Wow... almost 30 years have passed since I first heard this & it still sounds as beautiful, intriguing & intense as the first day. The whole album is a masterpiece.
Simply one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen. Unforgettable.
That ending is suitable for this tremendous song
This video and the song have something of mystical...rare beauty
Wow....this is perfection ... work of art..
la mejor canción de la década de los noventas
Love that echo in her voice
Nicolette is an amazing and underappreciated artist.
20 years from now this will still be amazing.
Remember attending the Armani show with this music at high volume.
musica y arte combinadas, excelencia
What a masterpiece
It feels when you listen to the music of Massive Attack through the years, the meaning becomes deeper and deeper. Seeing you live was already the most beautiful trip. The water, the start of creation, the creatures belong to the one Ocean. Life is like being an avatar choosing a new body everytime you die in this game. Keep on wandering through these levels.. until.. we become 1 again with the 0cean.
Love Her Voice

'Wandering leaving the sea behind, to my home which everybody owns' The sensitive balance between letting go and holding on while concentrating the mind on the present moment. All about perception of life, your surroundings...
Todo lo de Massive attack es puro arte
amen bro
My God, what a voice!!!
U said it Tricky , Portishead and Massive Attack !
Uno de mis videos favoritos de siempre.....
Increible la musica de Massive Attack!!!
Los ví en Barcelona en directo y quedé impactado....Increibles Dj´s con musicos en directos y diferentes cantantes... Sonaba INCREIBLE en Live!!! BRAVO!!!
I do not listen much trip hop but this tune is just so hypnotic : has no aged.
The first time I heard this track on MTV, I was instantly hooked. I was glued to the set hoping it would come on again later in the day to record it on (video) tape, and to my greatest delight it did! A few days later, I bought the album. Sly is always on my playlist (as much as the rest of the album). It's a track that i can never get enough of. Pure brilliance!!
I love Massive Attack. The best of the best in its category.
One of my favourite.
The most deep meaning lirics I've ever heard.
We all One.
Agree
This brings back so many memories of the past when things were more different pure and simple without any second thoughts and without any serious problems sometimes I wish I could turn back time to live exactly the same things without changing anything........
I heard this song when I was a 12 year-old boy , and now I'm 23, still remember the feeling that just so hard to describe. So amazing.
Robert was so handsome here. 😍
This was and remains amazing on many levels. Much love and respect
Reminds me of the time when I was a kid - I was kinda in a trance when I first heard this; the visuals of people walking in the street carrying flower pots or whatever giving out smoke in different colours blurring your vision seemed surreal, so inexplicably captivating like I was on a high. And it still rocks today.
those are thuribles, the censers suspended from chains and swung down the isles of church used to burn incense.
@@pabloplato Oh, Ok. Thanks man. Can relate now. Saw something similar inna Behemoth video.
une music qui transcende les ondes un de meilleur groupe idendite unique...20 ans d ecoute le temps passe vite
Several years of searching for music that suits my tastes perfectly, which apparently changes year after year, after year and so on. I ran into a wonderful genre known as Trip Hop. I've also come to realize that the voice of a well versed and sophisticated African woman is probably one of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard. It's practically hypnotizing.
I wish there were more women like this.
Before I listened to music to suit my personality, kind of like a status thing. Since I've grown up, I now listen to music that I connect with and enjoy. This is some of the greatest music I've ever heard, and Massive Attack has recently become my latest favorite band.
Thank you for your music. It's become my normal day to day theme and my most cherished possession.
One of my favourite clips EVER!!!!
Amazing Music from Massive Attack!!
Saw them Live at Barcelona and It was AMAZING!!!
Great Dj´s and live musicians giving it ALL.... Would Love to repeat that Experience!!!
ARTISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There's always more...very deep music
She's do damn soothing.
In the movie of my Life this would be the Themesong
This song brought the „trip“ into „hop“.
Real art, fuck yeah!
Timeless classic. 🌜 Majestic piece of music.
3:46 my fave part of a song I love so, so much, I now see as a way one walks through life with the concept of the Mandela Effect in mind, depicted by the patterns in the background, which are the nature of the ME visualised, when left unmaintained.
The vocals on this always remind me of Skye Edwards lead singer with Morcheeba. it has that same easy vibe and the strings are awesome and compliment the beat so well.
That vibrato is addicting
Needs HD version
keep dreaming... a 21 years old video isn't going to be in HD nowadays ;)
For 1994 this is the best quality you are going to get. Unless you digitally remaster both the audio and video.
The audio will be ok but forget it for the video. 480i... unless it was shot on film.
Always have and will love it 2019
Just so lovely
My absolute favorite Massive Attack song of all time..
Mind-blowing, to say the least... Love it.
Such a beautiful song and voice. What a great piece of art
such vintage massive attack....one of my all time favs.
dread, this songs is trully from the soul wish they would play more songs like this on local radio
This song will never grow old.. and bigups to Nicolette luvs!
INCREDIBLE.
Every tune is so Haunting. Love it
Loving this so much I’m getting goosebumps ❤️
Great song, great album
One of the best songs of all time, try not to listen to it too much now.... Goose bumps everytime...
This song is about old age, when oblivion sets in and getting ready to depart.
This group is my life. Best 90s group ever. Their 2000s and 2010s is great. But man their 90s stuff were the shit. The group is legendary.
Sent shivers down my spine, listening to this one again. great tune.
