This is my all-time absolute favourite, irreplaceable, one-of-a-kind masterpiece. It takes me places and holds so many memories for me as I used to listen to it through darkest of times. I don't listed to it very often as I absolutely melt away whenever I feel like I need to come back to it. I wish more people would know about this and appreciate it. It will forever be the OST of my life.
10:15 : Burial's sample from Fostercare 11:23 : Burial's sample from Ghost Hardware I love how Burial uses samples from other songs made by him, like in Ashtray Wasp, there's a sample from Endorphin.
from that first "sigh" , this is like being CRUSHED lovingly to death, by millions of tons of good intentions, and positive thoughts. Loved to death...loved, but killed by it. So painful, yet, so wonderful. Not sure which part makes me choke up....but i cant stop listening. I nominate Burial for living God status.
Almost safe to say we are living through a musical renaissance. This music is quite literally like nothing ever produced before by human beings. Remarkable to consider the implications of the music we are living through. Thanks for sparking ideas. Cheers
I think this is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I have ever came across. After the intro the singing and distortet instruments just takes you to another foreign place which is a wonderful mixture of melancholy and beauty. It just touches your soul kind of. I am not a fan of all of Burials work, but some is just outstanding.
+Peter Krüger totally agree with what you just said but just one question.. How could anyone who appreciates amazing and deep and melodic & lush and soulful music not appreciate Burials other work? Can not understand.. I make no apologies for sounding like a fanboy but he really has the ability to connect with the soul like almost no one else can, to create a sense of calm in amongst the chaos of whatever your current experience may be.. that is the power of music when its used to its full potential, and he does it like almost nobody else can..
Dan Harvery I doubt he meant he doesn't like anything else from burial, just that he doesn't like all of it since some of it is very very different from tracks like this. His first album for instance, and lots of others like south London boroughs aren't the same musically. Burial seems to have two sides with his music; this side, which is very moving and beautiful; and the other side, which is harsh and desolate. Pirates for instance is worlds apart from come down to us. So it's completely understandable that someone connects to the more soulful music from burial, but not the heavier tunes.
Agree 100% Dan. There is no such thing as a poor Burial track. IMHO. Has been my favorite artist since 2006. Never get tired of anything released by him or mixed by others. Oh yeah, unapologetic fangirl here. =) Couple of my faves are Rival Dealer and this gem. ruclips.net/video/J9X8P05jVlc/видео.html
9:40 onwards is one of the most powerful pieces of music ever written in my opinion, i'd even put it on par with an ending by brian eno and that is saying something
11 years and I still want to have an imprint of this in my brain, like a tattoo but aural . A chip. AI. Whatever. I cannot think of a more perfect piece of music. Soothes my soul like nothing else
Did the sun never rise? Is the night void of all other humans? Can you not remember your name? Well sit down and fall apart into this, you'll never return.
The part 9:42 onwards really is the most magical antidote to the dark, brooding first half of the song - its like the light at the end of a dark tunnel
The torrent of sounds here hit all at once and they absolutely crush and smother me with sound. I love that. It's so chaotic and targeted; it assaults the listeners but also in a sense where it's like "it's ok, just take it all it; let it consume you". Absolutely entrancing and fucking beautiful.
Just like people throughout history have failed to realize the influential periods they were living through, I think most individuals today fail to recognize this wonderful musical period. It's mostly because this music is off the beaten trail and it isn't "cool" or "normal" to listen to. I think in 100 years music classes will analyze Burial, Massive Attack, and all sorts of off-beat musicians, because they have definitely hit on something emotional with the music they are producing.
This is an otherworldly work of art. Not so much a song as a sonic voyage. So much atmosphere and beauty that it almost hurts. What an incredible collaboration!
They know that I can't settle down They know but they won't keep me in line, in line They know that I want his liquid They know that I'm not her breath They know that I can't settle down They know but they won't keep me in line, in line, in line These four walls have eyes, got lost on the way They'll hold me a while till he thinks that way, till In line last night held the light Down to save me from pain, happiness can lie Remembering our lost home (our lost way) In line, in line, in line till we're lost, I forgot
Just curious: will we remember Burial a hundred years from now? How will future generations asses his form of musical expression? Anyways, unfathomably deep cut. Thanks for post!
Burial's music is hard to understand by those who are blinded by today's pop and "cool" to listen to music. Those who have an open mind will know that this music is not emo/negative but rather a soul opening sound where everyone can relate to with a part of their life where this would have fit in like a key to a door. Before you can love anyone in your life, you need to know how to love/respect yourself. Burial's music allows for you to do just that ;)

"The very latest offering from Massive Attack. Be prepared for a journey to heaven! (10/10/11)"- I would say somewhere between heaven and hell, the beauty of unknown..
Are there anti-piracy rings in this song (3:44)? Or is this intentional? I am no sure, could be in the song. Could be added. Does anyone know if it's also on the vinyl edition?

No need for 'caps-lock'. I get it... you're an American.
Did she infact co write 'paradise circus'? It's a really beautiful and special song, I think!
What a fucking cross over
she got it already?
Hope Sandoval is great!

I hope you're doing well and that you're only here to reminisce an amazingly great song. 😊
somehow i want less people to know about it just because of reason u mentioned

This music saved me from a dark swallow of depression. I actually have the cover art as a tattoo on my chest. Much love to MA and Burial 💙
Badboy tat, mate. Hope you are good!
what is the cover art? where is it from? im so intrigued
@@blackligxt9413 Robert del Naja painted it. So artistic
can I see?
Music is a great healer. Wish you continued light 🧡X
The last 2 mins are outstanding. This not music anymore, this is an expression of pure emotion. It describes so much. Just wonderful
How can words describe the beauty like this? i am blessed to be able to listen to this masterpiece
One of the most amazing things a person can hear.
the ending to this is probably the greatest thing my ears have ever heard.
That's Burial for you
i feel the same
probably the greatest ambient segment hes done
@Jonathan Willow So what's yours Mr. SMEB? Christina Aguilera I suppose.
Better than Nova!?
Almost 10 years...what a masterpiece
We're all creatures of habit

I wonder where he gets those breathing noises
i absolutely adore the last ambient part 9:45. its so uncanny, so beautiful, just wandering free. like watching a hectic city in slow motion
Easily one of my favorite pieces of music. The ambience is so powerful
If you havent already, listen to Above & Beyond - Sun in your eyes. You won't regret it ;)
Can’t ever get over the sound design in the intro…. Absolute insanity…
This yanks my soul out of my body for 12 minutes then drops it back in whenever I hear it...
This is up there in the greatest pieces of music ever
The end part is breath taking, so spectacular.
Almost safe to say we are living through a musical renaissance. This music is quite literally like nothing ever produced before by human beings. Remarkable to consider the implications of the music we are living through. Thanks for sparking ideas. Cheers
yaaancey musical depth and understanding like burial hasn't been around since mozart
The date this was uploaded isn't really a date. It's the score from three independent jurors, the last one being me.
I'm seven years late but I love this
Asif same here lol

Sorry this comment wasn't intended for you
9:40 onwards is one of the most powerful pieces of music ever written in my opinion, i'd even put it on par with an ending by brian eno and that is saying something
Perfect. Sublime. Heavenly. I am heartbroken, bereft, when it ends.
The last three minutes are absolutely astounding.
11 years and I still want to have an imprint of this in my brain, like a tattoo but aural . A chip. AI. Whatever. I cannot think of a more perfect piece of music. Soothes my soul like nothing else
09:40 - 11:58
the most uplifting and empowering piece of music ever written
Did the sun never rise? Is the night void of all other humans? Can you not remember your name? Well sit down and fall apart into this, you'll never return.
This is sublime , along with Paradise circus the best music of the past 5 years , this is Rare and wonderful , cherish this beautiful piece if Art .
+alan christon No, this is Burial.
+Jeremy Zsillei lol troll or shallow vocab m8
The part 9:42 onwards really is the most magical antidote to the dark, brooding first half of the song - its like the light at the end of a dark tunnel
Still one of the great collab records EVER!!!
Proud to say i own this magnificent piece of art on wax
Yet listening on RUclips?!
@@nikvanzanen5544 let the man flex :D
Damn I remember when they did this Collab, it caused quite the commotion on BBC Radio and the like. Seriously would love to have this on vinyl.

They know that I can't settle down
They know but they won't keep me in line, in line
They know that I want his liquid
They know that I'm not her breath
They know that I can't settle down
They know but they won't keep me in line, in line, in line
These four walls have eyes, got lost on the way
They'll hold me a while till he thinks that way, till
In line last night held the light
Down to save me from pain, happiness can lie
Remembering our lost home (our lost way)
In line, in line, in line till we're lost, I forgot
Thanks :)
🙏🙏🙏
12 years later i now fully understand the words !
Это самое прекрасное, что я слышала в своей жизни. Спасибо.
The one that got away? 😂
Music without a narcotic effect like this, doesn't have much appeal to me. I will be replaying this song until I'm hospitalized.
I would love to have this piece of beauty for myself. I love the cover art.
mmmm wouldn't we all - $300+ is a lot of money to spend on a single release though!
I heard this release sounds like crap on vinyl unfortunately.
@@staughmcollins9254 what is the album?
Man, that ending. I looked down to see if I was actually floating.
Why am i only just listening to this!? Oh my, Burial & Massive Attack the perfect collaboration
Thank you for this Burial and massive attack. 🙏♥️🕉🙏
If perfection is obtainable as humans, then this definitely would be it.
Just curious: will we remember Burial a hundred years from now? How will future generations asses his form of musical expression? Anyways, unfathomably deep cut. Thanks for post!
Who cares when you will. nothing else matters
I'm so glad they made this track....writing with tears
I proclaim this to be the the best piece of music that has been recorded since Beethoven's Ninth.
I think I'm jealous of this song..
im jealous that i could never create something as musically beautiful as this, particularly 9:40 onwards
@@tropicalpalmtree if you never tried, or already said never..
then never thing will happend, easy
This song is dark and haunting. I love it. I feel like I'm in a BDSM club, when I hear this.

Top SECRET.CACHES Holy fucking shit that's the most cringeworthy thing I've ever read.
Anyone who thinks this is "emo" lacks dilligent judgement or even a basic understanding of one's inner self.
Top SECRET.CACHES It's just a song calm down.
Magnifique, intemporel
this is the soundtrack to what the caterpillar calls the end of the world!
Damn, what i'd give to have this on vinyl, I can't believe I passed on buying this when it first came out. Out to Burial though each and every!
I don't think they pressed many of these but yes for sure wish that I had too.

Fucking INSANE!!!! if you would play this at a funeral the dead would rise and and dance
aaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa I wouldn't really say it's a tune you dance to, better to say the dead would be peacefully lying in musical bliss
You should put all credits: Hope Sandoval.
thumbs up if its the story of your life
burial and massive attack!
Can't agree more.
One of the most note worthy and sonically impressive collaborations MA have ever had.
Burial is a fucking GOD.
That ashen time when you smoke a cigarette together in the dawn and know it's the end.
Que viaje...
Man I wish I had a copy of this :/
I would love to own it
On burial's new ep his track 'truant' has the start of fostercare at the last few seconds
"The very latest offering from Massive Attack. Be prepared for a journey to heaven! (10/10/11)"- I would say somewhere between heaven and hell, the beauty of unknown..
you dont need weed..the music it self gets you high...
Wow, amazing description
desde México para tds
@witchart LOL! I WAS GOING TO PLAY D2 WHILE LISTENING TO THIS! WTFFFFFFF??
could do with a 30 min version or something
Genius 😊
Anyone got version of this without the few loud noises probably this is part of song but still. Those loud artofact like constant noises
that gave me shivers... please tell me you pursued your talent in creative writing
Are there anti-piracy rings in this song (3:44)? Or is this intentional? I am no sure, could be in the song. Could be added. Does anyone know if it's also on the vinyl edition?
mkliko They're intentional.
Liberal Shimmering OK, thanks! :)
This is by far Massive Attack's most creepy and unsettling song. It's great, don't get me wrong, but it has a really disturbing vibe.
❤️
i'm pretty sure they lay it all under your nose at 6:00 thats gotta be every sample used creeping in there
❤❤❤
