blew a spliff, watched portishead do this song from the front row, and then Beth walked up. reached out and shook my hand. It's one of the highlights of my life.
An album that literally changed my life when I was 18. For months I could not listen to anything else. This song still haunts me, in a good way: reminds me that even intense sadness can be turned into solace, thanks to talent and creativity
Holy shit. Mesmerizing, captivating, haunting, emotionally dramatic, draining and impactful. Best performance I've seen from Portishead where they took a song off the album and made it even better. And that's HARD AS HELL to do. In terms of emotional impact alone, this is genius. Andddddd I typed all that BEFORE I even heard Beth's last 30 seconds. My God, even better.
I almost prefer this version over the album cut… loved this band from when I first heard Dummy at 15. Portishead forever!!! None like them before, will never be another…. Finally words that made sense of some complex emotions
Fantastic version. Crazy to think this was 14 years after dummy and its been 16 years now since this perfomance. I would have been about 3 when dummy was released and about 17 here. TIME GOES QUICK. And also slow. Love Portishead 🌛🌟
I was front and dead center. Easily one of the two best shows I have ever been to. My life is now divided into Before Machine Gun & After Machine Gun. It shook my very soul.
im proud of what im listening..i mean..bands like Portishead..Massive Attack..have talented members...As we know for example..Geoff Barrow plays the Bass,drums,keyboard,Turntables,guitar..Such a talented person and he feels music..Portishead has a music with feelings.
They are like wild waves of the sea, churning up the foam of their shameful deeds. They are like wandering stars, doomed forever to blackest darkness. - Jude 1:13
20 yrs later I'm sitting here in the morning reading my Bible and come across this verse. And stand straight up realizing it's this song! It's going to be a Portishead day today. Haven't had one in quite some years.
Very enigmatic. After looking up the lyrics of several of their songs they do use a lot biblical wording. I'm not sure who writes their lyrics but many of them seem to be about torment. Even as an atheist I see the bible as an amazing bit of literature, embroidered as it is. Her humming at the end is other worldly. And I wanted to crucify who ever cut it so abruptly.
even with the bass slightly out of tune it still sounds good. i love the crazy look on her face right when the bass starts. they played this last night at the shrine in los angeles and it was phenomenal.
holy shit. sorry day of the lord and shit. but wow. I guess I haven't looked because I thought they just disappeared but thank you thank you ty for this. and all. truly.
One of my favorites of their songs.. simpler than others in a way.. but very dark and beautiful, and this version in particular is pretty fine. I have this theory that the chorus is comparing her depression to the heat death of the universe. "Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved, the darkness, the blackness, forever.." .. Look it up!
Me gustaria que el "te busque por alguna razon" se vuelva mas frecuente en nuestras vidas. Mientras las estrellas vagan sobre mi cabeza mi mente camina con ellas y si bien aqui me puedas ver yo no soy ni estoy , vivo afuera lejos de este mundo quiza en otro igual pero diferente, quiza solo en la inmensidad y frio del espacio, quieto inmobil y doloroso sentimiento rebuscado pensamiento frio encantamiento.

That's awesome man!
Lol so jealous RN
💐
Great experiance👍
WoW Amazing, I love them they re so cool…

Dude... literally A perfect circle and portishead on repeat from 18-19.. I can only listen to them now here and there
The same happened here. In 2019’s summer I only listened to Them. They have given me countless catharsis
Yeah, they were kinda heavy on the goth angle for a bit🤔
I was 15
It’s a perfect album
the last 30 seconds gets me every time...sooooooo good!!!!!!! her voice is hauntingly-beautiful
The main reason I find this song on RUclips.... the ending of this song live
Its pain. The last few seconds make me realize Im not alone in this "darkness" this pain. The darkness in betwixt stars...the darkness last forever.
@@lukie2txmes775 she also did a lot of heroin
This such a different version from the album. It amazes me that just three "instruments" can do this.
Holy shit. Mesmerizing, captivating, haunting, emotionally dramatic, draining and impactful. Best performance I've seen from Portishead where they took a song off the album and made it even better. And that's HARD AS HELL to do. In terms of emotional impact alone, this is genius. Andddddd I typed all that BEFORE I even heard Beth's last 30 seconds. My God, even better.
The soundtrack to your soul spiraling down to the abyss...haunting.
God I love this band.
There was a time when there was such beautiful music
From 3:49 Beth's voice is like that of a theremin. Wonderful!
Such a dark yet beautiful track
I almost prefer this version over the album cut… loved this band from when I first heard Dummy at 15. Portishead forever!!!
None like them before, will never be another….
Finally words that made sense of some complex emotions
Their original version is awesomeness, but for me this is truly otherworldly.
Fantastic version. Crazy to think this was 14 years after dummy and its been 16 years now since this perfomance. I would have been about 3 when dummy was released and about 17 here. TIME GOES QUICK. And also slow. Love Portishead 🌛🌟
30 people are happy and well-adjusted
When you listen to music you should feel an emotion. I did. Thanks for uploading.
Literally gave me goosebumps
I'm so amazed by the atmosphere they manage to put together with just a bass guitar, a guitar with a slide and Beth's haunting voice. Simply beautiful
this one gets to the bones,chiling and beautyfull
I almost forgot how great they actually are, especially live!
22yrs old now! still rocks!
23 years have already passed?! Man, the world's about to end if we can't get better than this!!
Lol 30 over here and I appreciate them more now
I'm about to turn 46 . We used to make with chicks drunk and high at hookie parties to this album when I was about 16 or 17
Brilliant. Simply brilliant.
gorgeous version. one of my fave songs - thank you for sharing!
listening 2017. it's too beautiful to be played out.
Stunning version. Thanks for sharing :-)
This song puts a spell on you, makes you think of your pain, it's beautiful and haunting but shouldn't be played too often. Stay in the light people
Ive being listing to this song like for 1 month really often, its just a masterfuckingpiece,
But I totally agree with you! Staying in the light!
Stay in the darkness so you notice the light easier.
I used to listen to this album over and over and over when I was living in this boarding house very weird time of my life
Thanks Jav I do appreciate this.
Simply amazing. They do great live.
I was front and dead center. Easily one of the two best shows I have ever been to. My life is now divided into Before Machine Gun & After Machine Gun. It shook my very soul.
Absolutely breathtaking

Thanks for uploading this! 🖤
thank you for upload it! I tried to find this version without all that people noise! but it was soooo difficult!!
Damn, that outro...
creepily beautiful

Beth writes all their songs
This song is about heroin addiction,
this song is about anything
Damn, the suspense in this song, her vocal sounds like it could break at any time.
this is awesome thanks for sharing this
Her voice is always strong
She has 3 voices haha. Is magic. Like bristol s músic
Appears in the dictionary under "Bleak". What an absolutely stunning performance.
@3:48 of this song and forward is how I will always hold my wandering star in my heart. Sublime. Ethereal. Visceral. REAL.
This is amazing
The blackness of darkness, forever...
This version keeps amazing me.
Madness, Sick track I🖤t 🤘🏻
even with the bass slightly out of tune it still sounds good. i love the crazy look on her face right when the bass starts. they played this last night at the shrine in los angeles and it was phenomenal.
lets call it intonation :)
Beth voice,beth eyes 😍🖤
Hey there Wandering Star. It’s dark, but you’re bright. Forever.
My favorite track but killer concept 😊
“Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.”
holy shit. sorry day of the lord and shit. but wow. I guess I haven't looked because I thought they just disappeared but thank you thank you ty for this. and all. truly.
Using needlenose plier, frigging genius, amazing
Hauntingly good performance by Beth Gibbons.
Mark Sandman once asked "Where is the cave where the wise woman went?" and she's right here since forever singing this song.
Mind blown
Amazing
tout simplement magnifique
So f'in bummed I missed them in Berkley this week. I heard their show was amazing in LA.
ART!
One of my favorites of their songs.. simpler than others in a way.. but very dark and beautiful, and this version in particular is pretty fine. I have this theory that the chorus is comparing her depression to the heat death of the universe. "Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved, the darkness, the blackness, forever.." .. Look it up!
sublime
Somehow these sounds are heard from even my deepest places
Die Frau ist einfach der Wahnsinn.
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. - Jude 1:13
awesome!!!
Wow....just wow
Shoegazing.
love it....
@JavTheGreat
Just saw them do this last night, front row, harvest festival in OZ.....wowa. Incredible.
great! more please?!
Przepiękne...
Bardzo ❤😅
This version made me cry when I saw them at the Hammerstein.
La pure beauté.
Melancholy master piece
It was like WHOA
exquisite
reminds me of pink floyds live at pompeii, great stuff
sexiest woman alive
+William Shoop sexiest voice alive*
Sexiness is not necessarily looks. I mean by definition sexiness is determined by sexual attraction, so basically whatever gets you on.

This is, as the kiddos say now a days , my " safety song "....
~ Such a brilliant performance! ~
Still kills!!
EPIC
