This isn’t a song, it’s a feeling
A time
An emotion
A memory ....
So true 😊
💯
Exactly Anne, spot on
Yes, being ready to go is that feeling!♥
Instant goosebumps
Hard to believe that is 30 years old now - and still sounding as fresh.
This, Protection, and Teardrop. All works of genius.
This is the real 90s soul! And this video is history. Probably the most iconic melody representing the '90s.
When I think of the 90s I think of "Army of Me" by Bjork. That could come out nowadays and still be a banger. Jay, please check out Bjork!😍
Agree this is a true 90s classic ! It hits the mood of that time perfectly
amen
90s zeitgeist, right there
Yes it was
This is often ranked as one of the greatest in music polls.
Truth!
Music polls are dumb asf. They rank garbage like Queen and Beatles high up
@@trips347Queen maybe, but Beatles garbage??
@@adamsmith307 I can appreciate their work, and in that age. But compared to many other bands they’re garbage. Nothing special, nothing intelligent.
@@adamsmith307 Don't feed the troll. ;-)
Actually, the video for "Bitter sweet symphony" was a hommage to this one. Boy, what a great song. What a great video. All in one take, and all the "random" people are actors that were exactly timed for their appearance.
And some of those random people walking behind the singer are the actual members of Massive Attack!
@@davidnguyen81 And the way it's timed so that it all finishes as she walks out of shot at the end. Perfect.
Was just gonna say the same thing I remember an interview with Richard Ashcroft and thats what he said he loved this song loved the video and wanted to do something pretty much the same
Glad to know this
I never realized. That explains a lot.
"Like a soul without a mind in a body without a heart. I'm missing every part."
I love that lyric 👍
I've always felt that her vocals were like another instrument on the track and that she was part of a soundscape rather than a singer performing to music.
Nicely said.
A lot of music producers/composer look at the vocals in that exact way as just another instrument
@@kevmccormick1767 Yeah, that's what it is first and foremost.
Eloquently stated. Shara wrote the lyrics to this song.
That's actually a strong description of Shara's voice. It's way she worked so strongly with the Massive Attack aesthetic. They used her voice more as an additional instrument than a traditional vocalist.
This song is now 30 years old, imagine that. A timeless master piece and I am glad you got to react to it. ♥♥♥
God I feel old now 🤣
Shara Nelson's voice is beautiful and a work of art in it's own right. Massive Attack knew what they were doing with her.
Shara wrote the lyrics to this song.
Shame what happened to her with all the Pete tong stuff, mental health problems are just dreadful
Massive attack have so many amazing songs. You are onto a goldmine ;)
I find some of their less commercial-success songs to be the best...like the African music in Karma Coma, you will never get it out of your head...it stays forever.
Love their first three albums.Tricky and Portishead were also a part of what was called trip hop scene 🔝👍
tricky was even a member of Massive Attack 😏
It’s not trip hop - this was four years before the label trip hop had been invented
Portishead rocked!
OMG I love Portishead. 💘
Thir fifth album is great too, Tricky is making some of his best work now, and I would recommend 3 by Portishead,which came out over a decade after their second album.
This music style was called TRIP HOP, so it's supposed to put you in a sort of sonic trance by using a repetitive melody, methodical instrumentation, and the complete lack of sudden stridencies. These songs conjure up moods instead of moves. Hope this comment has been helpful to you.
Err, no it isn’t trip hop. This came out in ‘91, four years before anyone had even coined the phrase.
@@adamsmith307 You're absolutely wrong - the term trip hop was used exactly to describe the sounds coming out of Bristol like this - I was DJing at the time playing this music!
@@stuartbrittain7835 no I'm not. No-one used the term trip hop until 95
@@adamsmith307 are you drunk? this is foundational trip-hop
@@adamsmith307 It doesn't mean the song is not representative of the sub-genre. "Rapper's Delight" was released in 1980, and the hip-hop scene became massive a decade later. So it's not about particular dates, but sound affinity.
This man starts bopping his head at the PERFECT time 😂😂😂😂 Marvelous.
Goosebumps every single time
Man, The Verve's Bitter Sweet Symphony was a homage to Unfinished Sympathy.
"Massive Attack records... That to me should be well up there.
Certainly Unfinished Sympathy was just unbelievable.” - Richard Ashcroft on the biggest influences in the 90s.
The verve made nothing off their tune . As they didn't ask permission for the symphonic scores music until 2019
www.theguardian.com/music/2019/may/23/bitter-sweet-symphony-royalties-richard-ashcroft-verve-royalties-novello
@@SaintPhoenixx Both tracks and videos do it for me
Until 2019
www.theguardian.com/music/2019/may/23/bitter-sweet-symphony-royalties-richard-ashcroft-verve-royalties-novello
Do Teardrop next! Completely different vibe!
YESS! Compulsory!!!
...And then Beardyman's tribute!!
This x 1,000! Teardrop is an amazing track!
Teardrop is my fave by them!
Butterfly Caught is my absolute fav, but it's not for everyone. That song just speaks to me!☺️
Released in the UK the first week of the first Gulf War in 1991 the group temporarily changed its name to 'Massive' just for this song........
YESSSSSS!!! I've been begging for this reaction. This song/album changed everything. Massive Attack are just the most brilliant musicians. Favourite song of all time. Making dance music for the mind, indeed. Thank you x
It's Sympathy, not Symphony... two completely different things. The words would make more sense if you keep this in mind.
Also loved the fact that the video is just one shot and that she just keeps walking at the end. Reinforces the feeling of unfinished.
This song is just so stunning ❤️⭐️
Yes Yes Yes. We need more TripHop like Massive Attack, Portishead and Tricky. TripHop was a kind of short lived music genre based out of Bristol in the UK.
They have tons and tons of hits.
And yeah The Verve's video was based on this one.
Morcheeba with Skye
Moby too.
@@reikisk8r i was just about to say Morcheeba as well but you were quicker !
Yes! Massive Attack was my gateway drug to Portishead then Tricky then Hooverphonic then Talvin Singh... Sneaker Pimps... :)
But I wouldn't have found them if it wasn't for 4AD... This Mortal Coil, Cocteau Twins, Belly, etc.
Tricky was a member of Massive Attack(& still is I think) but also did solo projects too...
You cannot knock Portishead though, they’re all Bristol’s finest 👏🏻
The holy trinity of trip hop. Yes.
Excellent song. Their album Blue lines is incredible. Definitely worth checking out. Unfinished Sympathy is phenomenal and deep. Each time you hear this song, it reveals more of itself. It's very profound.
Every album is worth checking out, unbelievable band
The British music empire is bigger than the land empire ever was 💪
This Massive Attack video pre-dates The Verve one by more than 6 years. Unfinished Sympathy (not symphony btw, easy mistake to make) is such a haunting tune, play it a few more times and you will love it Jay!!
What Massive Attack!! Thank you!! TripHop is such a vibe! Oh the memories this song brings flooding back❤️ this song! Great reaction!! Much ❤️
Not trip hop
@@adamsmith307 "Massive Attack-a multiracial collective of deejays, singers, and rappers including Daddy G. (byname of Grant Marshall; b. Dec. 18, 1959, Bristol, Eng.), 3-D (byname of Robert Del Naja; b. Jan. 21, 1965, Brighton, Eng.), and Mushroom (byname of Andrew Vowles; b. c. 1968)-created Blue Lines (1990), widely regarded as the first trip-hop album." - Encyclopædia Britannica
@@adamsmith307 Are you still fucking banging on in every comment about it not being trip hop! Fucking nora kid, give it a frigging rest.
@@SeeDaRipper... yes, he is... that dude won't understand. give up trying. it's like my mom said last week "my memory loss couldn't be a symptom of cancer because the cancer wasn't actually diagnosed until 3 months later". if someone's brain isn't rational, it's pointless to try to rationalize with them. sad, but true.
In this type of music you shouldn't expect high explosions, this is trip hop, different kind of music.
It’s not trip hop.
@@adamsmith307So, Massive Attack is what?
@@jager9022? Are you? Because to be sure I went now to Wikipedia and the first thing to describe them is: ... Trip hop band... So I don't understand...
@@jager9022 Ok
@@adamsmith307 It is. Wikipedia even has them labelled as Trip Hop/electronica.
it's a modern masterpiece, I put it right there with Classical Compositions, even after 30 years it sounds like nothing else .
This song and video were released in 1991...the guy in the long coat walking behind her is Del Naja, the lead singer of Massive attack..
She wasn’t “lead singer” but a guest singer.
@@adamsmith307 Read it again.
He not also supposed to be the artist banksey?
Shara Nelson (the singer) is followed by all original 3 members of Massive Attack at one time or other during the video.
Portishead - Glory Box next please. 😀
The first music video (that wasn’t just a one camera live music video) to be shot in one take, on the streets of LA. They definitely didn’t have a care in the world and paid for a local gang to offer protection while they were on the streets. Their output is beautiful, scary, funky and dark. Often at the same time. They also have a strong reggae background and frequently work with reggae star Horace Andy. The singer here, Shara Nelson, also released 2 solo albums with great songs like Friendly Fire and Keeping Out The Cold. Her other 2 tracks on this album, Daydreaming and Safe From Harm are worth a listen. As is Protection from their next album of the same name, and the deeper tracks like Angel, Man Next Door, Karmacoma, Live With Me or Pray For Rain.
Theres a vid on here about that vid lol.
Iconic video and song!
theme song/background music to a lotta happy and crazy moments
@@rickybuhl3176 totally agree with you
Definitely do more Massive Attack stuff and like others have said already, you 100% have to check out Portishead and Tricky too.
Love this track, used to play this album all the time when it came out, an amazing band please check out more of their songs!
I loved this song
The video was done in one take ,following her as she walked ( or in front of her 😆)
This was often played in the “ chill rooms “ in nightclubs ..... ( often called trance music)
and stripclubs
@@samadhi1414 hmm ,I take your word for it 😂
"trance music" ? Think it's safe to say Massive Attack fit very much into the Trip Hop genre !
@@trevordoolan5011 I was talking about this song specifically
@@cherrymcgregor535 I would agree with Trevor Doolan, this is trip hop, not trance.
Massive Attack is one of my favorite bands of all time. More recommendations? Try, if you like, 'Angel', 'Karmacoma', 'Dissolved Girl', 'Protection', 'Inertia Creeps', 'Teardrop'... Sooo many good ones! Angel is my favorite, though. Both video and song itself.
Angel is a good shout, I think he'll like Horace Andy's voice but I'd go for Hymn of the Big Wheel
The entire Mezzanine album is a stroke of genius!
Find fact. Robert 3D Del Naja's father is from Naples, Italy ( my town) and is the producer of a Neapolitan band called Liberato, they have a different anonymous singer for each record.
Black Milk as well, one of my favorites.
Fun fact: “Dissolved Girl” (another great track) is what Neo is listening to on his headphones in The Matrix.
This song is literally transportative for me. It lifts me and sends me tumbling back in time, every time I hear it I'm reminded of simpler times as a teenager when it seemed like the sun shone more.
I recommend Teardrop and Angel.
Massive Attack - pioneers of the Bristol based trip-hop scene. Another good song of theirs is "Teardrops".
Also check out the later band from that scene, Portishead. Maybe their track "Glory Box".
(I see what you say about the Verve now you've mentioned. Think they came much later).
This band had a massive hit, (Teardrop), which was just completely different from anything I had heard before. Really spacy, sounded awesome stoned.
One of the best tracks ever written. So good, so chill.
who the hell dislikes this Kid. Jayvee you are a great bright spot my dude. I hope you keep growing man. You should think about live streaming.
Thank you
One of the most iconic MTV videos of the early 90s. Iconic.
One of the greatest songs of not just the 90's, but all time in my opinion. And I am a hardcore White Stripes and Led Zeppelin fan! The video is a classic and the song will never date
Protection, Karma Coma, Man Next Door, ... So many superb songs by this influential group.
Give Portishead's "Wandering Star" a go next! Another wonderful band from the same era
Or Glory box 👍
@@alltheshotsphotography1014 oooh yes, also a great one!
Nice! I didn't discover Massive Attack until their huge album Mezzanine in 1998. Try "Angel" or "Teardrop" from that album. Different, but still got the chill Trip Hop vibe. Thanks!
Peace from SF
The whole album is perfection.
Faithless - Insomnia or God Is A DJ
KLF - 3AM Eternal or Last Train To Trancentral
Would like to see your reaction to these legendary tracks!
The KLF IS GONNA ROCK Y'ALL!
Ah ha, ah ha, ah ha, ah ha
Oh Massive Attack are incredible 💕 Glad to see you reacting to them!
I have been waiting for this one!! Glad you're doing the original video 🙂
Another Great British band, very underrated.
Underrated by who?
@@adamsmith307 In General.. don’t be sarcastic
@@adamsmith307
They’re not underrated when it comes to Electronica, but in terms of music as a whole they are underrated.
I think it is hard to underrate a band when they have a list of award nominations like this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_Attack#Awards_and_nominations
Underrated? Really?
This is beautiful. The way the rest of the band are all there for her as she walks through the various scenes, in utter devestation, says it all about Massive Attack and Bristol. 😍
One of the best albums in the last few decades. If you ever get the chance to see them live, look out. Massive!!
When they come to write the history of pop music, Massive Attack will be up there with the Beatles. Three lads from Bristol in the late 1980s join together to create this sound, this AMAZING sound. They are grossly underrated now, but they are better than Pink Floyd, they will be recognised one day as the greatest British band after the Beatles. Unfinished Sympathy, Protection and Teardrop are the greatest songs written in the last 40 years.
I love them to bits. I remember as soon as they released anything I was out to buy it immediately. I put them on a par with Pink Floyd and The Kinks for their sheer talent and abilty to create music that is so far ahead of their time that will be loved for generations to come.
The name "Unfinished Sympathy" is a play on the Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony" I imagine...
that's right, and a very clever one too as the song has a symphonic sound to match the name. In the song, her love is unfinished and she is looking for a kind of sympathy from her lover. Very, very clever. This song demonstrates Massive Attack's combined intellectual and musical talents in one song.
The instrumental is just so underrated. Masterpiece. Orchestra. DJ scratching.
Been requesting this for ages Jay! Glad you finally reacted to it. Such an incredible song. You can really sense the desperate, unresolved heartbreak in her voice. Love the string arrangement too. And is 3D Banksy?? Who knows.....
Yes! I saw your reaction to Back to Life yesterday, and I was hoping you would do something like Massive Attack next.
I knew you would not be able to help closing your eyes. This song is a private moment
YES! Finally some Massive Attack...ooooo you have gone down a rabbit hole with this group bro, some of the most amazing songs on the planet! More please!!!
I remember when this was first released, watching it on MTV here in the UK, I almost didn’t hear the music because I was so entranced with everything else that was happening, and never realised I was just staring at the screen until the next video started. It completely hypnotised me! 😁
Massive Attack,
Portishead and
Tricky.
The holy trinity of Trip-Hop
Need to try Teardrop by Maxxive attack or try portishead - glory box for a great live set
One of the greatest songs of its genre and of its era. ❤️
I love the part toward the end where she crosses the road, doesn’t look for cars and just leaves everything to destiny. Powerful stuff. It’s her “ok... this is it” moment.
Sometimes less is more !! This is such a fantastic track her voice is the heart and soul of this soundtrack! Brings back great nostalgia memories
Soon you'll have no classics to react to anymore! Teardrop will follow soon :-D
That's why I can't react to songs anymore.....heard everything....almost (not current)
That's really not true. It would take a very long time to listen to the hits of the 60-90's we are just scratching the surface. It will be a good number of years. I would suspect he blows up and finds another niche to start moving into. Smart, talented, and very genuine appeal.
No classics to react to? You do realise that not all music hits the charts right?
There's shit loads left, from genres many were not into or aren't reacting to now: Black box, Dmob- Acceded. Leftield, London boys ( anyone remember them )
legion of green men, party animals, cirque de soleil(yes, they did some music videos), aphex twin, frontline assembly, bjork, maybe not too many left, pity.
This song even when I was a kid gave me a sense of nostalgia.
Yes, isn't that strange!
@@tamcon72 Yeah its bizarre!
After all these years still hearing this song. Jeeez it hits every nerve and mood ending builds up the power to utter perfection to make water extrude from my eyes. Just incredible!
What a tune, Hey !
One of the greatest singular Songs of all time.
First time I saw Massive Attack it was as the "Massive Attack SoundSystem" in 1995. It was like 6 hours of Massive Attack and their Musical Associates.
I was so so stoned and alcoholed-up (after a day in the Pub drinking & smoking) heading into that gig, and that musical experience did my head so good 🌬
☘🇮🇪☘
Massive Attack are a genre of their own. Wonderful choice
You have to check out Faithless, a unique British group.
Ahh this song always makes me teary eyed at the orchestral crescendo towards the end. Used to play the vinyl on repeat
Sooo many beautiful and soulful singers came about in the 90’s underground rave scene. 90’s house and jungle specifically were also loaded with so many great vocalists!!
A beautifully made peice of music.
Def should listen to more massive attack and other trip hop artists.
Oh nice !
This song really makes me feel loss as it take me straight to one place. Back in the day, my brother’s friend who used to arrange a lot of ‘Raves’ passed away tragically. At his funeral, his parents chose this song for his friends to dance his coffin into the church 😢
Live with Me is all soul and one of their better earlier hits. Massive Attack is one of my favorite chill and relax groups.
i agree, but as an avid listener/collector of their music since their beginnings, i somehow feel that their video for that song is even more impactful with the video's expression in visual connectedness to deliver a more intense, emotional impact.. just my $0.02..
Just a comment to add to every other , love this song still today.
Yayyyy in my top ten favourites ❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌
This band is just amazing, seen them in Sydney and was totally in the zone!!
Any track is amazing but do “teardrops” wow 🤩
This song is so much more than just that. For me it's a state of several emotions and this song stirs in them! Magnificent 💜
From Bristol, England but the video looks like it was shot in the USA
Correct on both counts, sir.
JAYVEE u should try Everything but the girl, Missing.
Good suggestion. I can listen to that on repeat forever! Bit like this!
chooooon
Just yesterday I meant to ask you to review this track!! Thought you would love it man. Their music is heavenly!
This is one of my all time favourite songs, and the string section at the end is one of the most glorious sections of music ever recorded.
Massive Attack Teardrop is a must. Also Smoke City Underwater Love. 🏴👍🏴
You need to listen to tear drop from Massive attack.
Takes me right back this track. Yes I'm "old", I was 17 when this released and was a standout track then, still is now. I bought this on 12" vinyl. Loved this track. When I started driving that year I copied it to cassette and played it in my first car. Music has such power to take you back in time to how you felt at that time and it does this for me now, at nearly 50 years old.
Maybe it's just me but I first heard this song on the soundtrack for the movie Sliver and have been obsessed with Massive Attack ever since.
Apart from the fact that they both used classical music, there's nothing similar between this song and The Verve ... The Verve were Brit pop while Massive Attack were Trip Hop and both the melodies and the beats were totally different. I saw Massive Attack live a few years back and they were still amazing and played out with this song - Probably the best Trip Hop song ever, an absolutely beautiful masterpiece.
The Verve’s video was paying homage to the massive attack one
I was literally going to suggest this in a nother video just now. So I'll suggest another track massive attack produced before they were massive attack. Nenah Cherry - Buffalo Stance. You'll love it
I did that one already search the title followed by JayveeTv
@@JayveeTV oh sweet I will.
Manchild!
Mad that this is 30 years old. All the fantastic songs never date. Any song from their album "Mezzanine" would be great to hear. ALso "Blue Lines", song or album. Massive Attack are the BOSS.
Great music never dates. This song always sounds great. 30 years old and still as fresh. ❤️🇬🇧❤️
Massive attacks Blue lines is 1 of best albums ever.
nice catch mate with the verve connection... believe they were influenced by this music vid.
There are great songs,, and there are the real classics. This is one of those. Timeless.
One of my most favourite tunes. The beginning Reminds me of tapping the side of a glass with an implement

I'm a big fan of you music video reaction
Massive Attack are an unbelievable bunch of artists/musicians who epitomise the time they composed tracks and with angst tug at your heart strings. They stem from Bristol, England and are the voice of Bristol and the nation. I am always moved and they say everything in their lyrics, beats, vibes and music making. Legends. Also embarked on numerous projects with other well known bands like Everything but the Girl.
I really love watching your reaction videos makes me listen to the songs like I’m hearing them for the first time as well
