Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
One of the greatest songs ever made.
Agreed
Most definitely
Possibly
It truly is.
One of my all time favourite songs ever
K.S.O., I happen to think Unfinished Sympathy is the greatest song of the 90s and one of the best ever. I worked as a DJ when this was released and whenever I played it - a song without a bassline! - the floor filled within seconds. People just gravitated to the emotion.
The "hey, hey, hey" sample is from Planetary Citizen by Mahavishnu Orchestra and John McLaughlin (1976).
Massive Attack are no one-hit wonder. Your next step? I would recommend Protection. Different vocalist, equally magnetic pull.
Protection is an awesome track, and I also love Angel from Mezzanine
Admittedly, I always thought that "hey, hey, hey!" sample was from The Bee Gees. It just sounds eerily to their vocal style.
And i wish i was their to witness it.
Trip-hop classic! And also Massive Attack at their most accessible. They did darker stuff, too.
Another great one by them was "Teardrop".
Teardrop! Beautiful song. Yes. Yes.
Teardrop still makes me ugly cry
Shara Nelson, the singer in this song, was in Massive Attack's early songs only before she left. Another great song around the same time is "Safe from harm"
Yes. Safe From Harm was the first track on their 1st album. All their first 3 albums were great in slightly different ways i think.
@@neilsun2521 all of their albums are amazing, all are very different from each and I don't think people pay enough to attention 100th Window or Heligoland as much they should
@@edaurdovega7673 There's a whole string of brilliant vocalists they've worked with. Liz Fraser (Teardrop, Black Milk) has the uncanny ability to almost sing and whisper simultaneously, then there's Hope Sandoval (Paradise Circus), and Horace Andy on every album of course. Loads of others - Guy Garvey, Damon Albarn, Sara Jay, Sinéad O'Connor...
Actually Verve's Bitter Sweet Symphony video was a homage to this video. Nice job connecting the dots. Teardrops featuring the angelical voice of Elizabeth Fraser is THE song u need to listen to
Both titles have the same amount of syllables.
I like to think they bumped into each other round the next corner
One of the iconic Brit albums out of Bristol, England in 1991 .... please check out Portishead as well as other Massive Attack songs from this album 'Blue Lines'
...and the origins Manchild (Neneh Cherry) and group Marxman
We’re just gonna leave out Tricky? That’s what we’re doing? The album Maxinquaye actually lead me to Massive Attack, so I’m probably biased.
Massive Attack, Protection, is also hauntingly beautiful like this.
Both the song and the entire album.
Massive Attack ‘Teardrop’
I was gonna say that :-)
First time hearing Massive Attack. The instrumentals worked so well with her voice. Dreamy. Hope to hear more of them.
check out "Protection", "Angel" , also by Massive Attack, great tracks, great band also Tricky, Portishead, Smith & Mighty all from the same place/area, share aspects of sound (Bristol sound) all great artists, all part of the same scene
Portishead -Glory Box
ruclips.net/video/4qQyUi4zfDs/видео.html
Tricky- Black Steel (you may recognise this guy from the film 5th element, this track is more guitar based than usual)
ruclips.net/video/9ZJTM03UByU/видео.html
Smith & Mighty - Same
ruclips.net/video/MLHKi-zqCpk/видео.html
Massive Attack is dope 👍. Can you believe that this tune is already 30 years old? 😮 It sounds like it was produced last year.
I'm quite a big Hip Hop fan, Massive Attack are part of a genre called Trip Hop. This is probably my all-time favourite song. The music is amazing. Sends chills up my spine. The hey hey sample is from a track called Planetary Citizen. Portishead would be great to check out too.
This song and video came out before The Verve song and video. First time I ever noticed the name and simularities between the two. Probably Massive Attack had some influence in the Verve. Probably they were big fans.
The Bittersweet Symphony video was a deliberate homage to this. (according to wikipedia, anyway, lol)
@@jcstato9048 .... and the aragant strutt and swagger of Richard Ashcroft takes the pee...,,
Simply one of the greatest tunes of all time. 👌
without a doubt
The fact that this song is 30 years old makes me feel about 100.
Oh God yes. I've gone grey since this. I was young, I was slim, now I'm in my 50's. Where did those years go?
Oh, Thanks for pointing that out, I am now old. When I bought the album it had "Attack" missing from the title for some reason to do with terrorism. Still makes no sense...
Gives me goosebumps. I was 18.
But it doesn't age.
Seems to me none of the trip-hop from the 90s ever seems outdated, it sounds just as good now as it did then.
I know. 30 years ago a young man having fun in SoCal. Now just an old bald dork thinking about where/how I'll spend the last 30 years of my life (if I'm lucky). Damn.
I remember this back in the day.....the song , the voice and the video......just brilliant.
I love that you listen to the entire song without pausing or speaking over the tune and comment/react after. New subscriber : )
Anything off Mezzanine is great: Teardrop, Angel, Dissolved Girl, Inertia Creeps are standouts. Also, a side note, Tricky is another to consider, he was with Massive Attack in the early days before going solo. There's a whole Bristol sub culture out there that is great, especially during the 90s.
Mezzanine is a classic!
Maxinquaye, Tricky's debut, is another classic.
I can easily listen to both of these all the way through, and love every minute.
A band from Bristol I'm currently digging is Svalbard. They are far from trip-hop though, more like hardcore crust punk.
I second that.
Tricky is fucking incredible. So many great songs but yeah, Maxinquaye is one of those albums where there isn't a bad note.
Not enough youtubers react to Massive Attack... I've loved them so long. Thank you! They rotate different lead singers sometimes. Zero 7 is a group that came out around the same time and more frequently use different singers.
Both groups are two of the best that came out of the 1990's with that trip hop feel to them...the best of hip hop, pop and instrumentals/electronica melded together
Massive attack from Bristol UK. They use different vocalists. Check out the live version. Also check out rising son
Best song of the 90's.All the boys in the band are in the video at one time.following Shara down the street.
I love being reminded of songs I have forgotten and seeing others discover them for the first time! (Also as an English man I love seeing Americans discover English music. Double win!)
Great choice. Songs of unrequited love always hit deep.
Thank you for your reaction, KSO, you got it so right, hence the title 'Unfinished Sympathy'. Such a great track by such a great band, one of the very best tracks of the '90s. You should check out 'Protection', 'Better Things', 'Angel' and 'Teardrop' by them too.
After 1st seeing them, the audience was left absolutely shellshocked by the sonic force of what just happened. My gf and I looked at each other and simultaneously went, "ohhhhhh...." Massive Attack- THAT explains it.
This track defines 'sublime.'
I’m so happy you did this one! Protection, Angel, Teardrop are great. So is their song with Madonna - ‘ I Want You’.
there's something about the weird phrasing and romance joined to "how can you have a day without a night... really hurt me baby" that makes me think she's missing the relationship so much she would rather have it be a bad one than a finished one
if you react to Massive Attack's "Protection", as I'm sure you must, do take note of how everyone's sitting in the video and try and think where the camera actually is. It's the director Michel Gondry being weird again!
Shara Nelson was a treasure, she had some lovely pop hits in the 90s
One of my favorite tracks ever...
Yeah for sure..pure perfection even down to the title which matches the lyrics & music…didn’t even make the top 10 in the uk..why???
Please react to "Missing" by Everything But the Girl.
The lead singer Tracey Thorn of Everything But The Girl was also a member of Massive Attack between 1994-1996.
So good
Tracey Thorn wasn't a member, but she sang on songs "Protection" and "Better Things". "Missing" from Everything But The Girl (Todd Terry Mix) was massive back in the mid 90's, another one to listen to from them is "Walking Wounded".
@@duffblimp9888 That makes her a member ;). It was just two years 1994-96. She is listed as a member on wikipedia.
Massive Attack and the trip-hop genre more broadly got me through many terrible and great times, and still do today.
Shara, the lead singer always reminded me of ~Aretha Franklin!
Great song, great video. Reminds me of good times in the 90s. 😀
The Verve obviously got inspiration from this video! 😉
You just brought me back to '89. I bought the first album, 'Blue Lines', and almost glued it into my Walkman. And Shara Nelson's voice still sends me...
30 years ago and i remember buying the cd-single. My god i am old. Still a great song.
The Word "Soundcloud" must been created for this amazing Tune
Aha! Fantastic, now you must listen to some Portishead :). Part of the same Trip-Hop genre that came out of Bristol in the 90's. Sour times orGlory Box
Hey Sincerely, K.S.O. I just want to thankyou for all your daily uploads. They help cheer me up through these difficult times, I'm soo happy I found your channel and subscribed, its interesting to see peoples reactions to various types of music, and with yours it just cheers me up with a laugh and smile.
Hope you and your family are all well and keeping safe. Keep doing what you do soo well, Thankyou ❤❤❤ all the way from London, UK.
You are so welcome, thank you Hunni
Massive Attack - Live With Me, my favourite of theirs.
i knew you'd enjoy this song! it's so moving, and considering it was a single in 1990, it truly was a genre-blending breakthrough in the 90s for Massive Attack! thank you for experiencing it!
Fun fact about Massive Attack, one of the band members, Robert Del Naja otherwise known as 3D, is rumoured to be the famous street artist Banksy.
I was going to mention that as well. It wouldn't surprise me if that was true. And I definitely recommend more Massive Attack reactions, this band is brilliant.
@@meganpetty223 💜💜💜
He’s really not but all the theories are entertaining.
I'd never heard that rumour before. Well, he is from Bristol too. I find it hard to imagine a famous/succesful person sneaking around at night to be creative when he could've showcased it and got credit.
I did say rumoured 😁 it would be funny if it is him though.
A masterpiece. The pyramids , the Mona Lisa, - they have nothing on this. Shara Nelson - the greatest ever British voice.
I was clubbing in Manchester England when this dropped...amazing song
That distant 'hey hey hey' is sampled from a song by Mahavishnu Orchestra and in fact is a man; possibly Narada Micheal Walden.
She's obviously not a Planetary Citizen.
Clicked on this one so fast !!!! Classic track
I've been waiting for this one!
Image now 30 years later to have first time listen to this masterpieace.
The sense I get from the lyrics is that she got signals that either were profoundly false or that she profoundly misinterpreted, or came from a profoundly fickle person who can shift an attitude out of nowhere, leading her to an impression that something good was ahead that was in fact never going to come, this song being an expression of the emotions when that kind of harsh reality kicks in.

Yeah, the Verve Bitter Sweet Symphony ripped Massive Attack off, with both song name & video set up. Massive Attack video was a long one shot, where as Verve had multiple cuts. Massive Attack Unfinished Sympathy, one of my favourite songs of all time
Safe From Harm, Daydreaming and Lately all from the same album, and they all have Shara Nelson signing on it. "Daydreaming" - you have Tricky - former Massive Attack member - 3D, and Daddy G (both of Massive Attack), also contributing vocals. "Five Man Army", also from this album, the lyrical back and forth between the various members is insane. "Karmacoma" from Protection will send you into a trance with its hypnotic rhythm. If you want something with heavy bass, and "dark" lyrics with a trippy video to go with it, listen to "Risingson" from the Mezzanine album. "Dissolved Girl" is a song that makes you want to get down and dirty with someone. Love Massive Attack, and the "Bristol sound".
Safe from harm ❤️
Yeah, they are from the UK , I still love them and listen to them but omg I feel old thinking about how long it is since this tune came out.
One of the best song ever written
Wonderful song ❤️! Thanks for reacting to it!
This, put quite simply is a massive tune.
Imagine recording this and then listening back to it for the first time as your own idea realised? Mindblowing.
Nice! I have been waiting for this fir a long time. I am glad you are diving into Massive Attack.
The first music video to be filmed in one single continuous take. No editing. No camera changes. Simple, yet innovative at the time.
My interpretation: the singer fell in love with somebody she cannot have or somebody who doesn’t know about it, and walks on the blvd to tell her story to everybody on the street, who certainly knows what she is talking about. At the same time, the message is, “I don’t need you to listen, I just need to express what I have inside”. That’s why she disappears around the corner at the end without making sure they are listening to her. What makes me think she has never been together with her love is that she uses a lot of conditional expressions.
Regarded as one of the best songs in modern music. Simply incredible. Essential stuff right here.
So much symbology to unpack. The depth of her hurt in the delivery is just so palpable too.
All time classic.
30 years old still a great tune
One of Bristol's best exports! The live version of "Safe From Harm" is amazing
yes.. one of my favourite songs as a kid, love it. no idea why i think you are the 1st to react and listen to it. its a classic. massive attack had so many classics that influenced a lot.
I'm delighted for you that you got to experience one of the greatest songs of all time
Such impressive camera work here - all in one take.
Also a very strong song and layers of sound. My favourite together with "Teardrops" from Massive Attack
Protection is a terrific song of theirs and the video is very clever and wonderfully done. Another artist to have a listen to is Morcheeba and their song 'The Sea'
Brings back memories of Moby- "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad".
This song was on the "Sliver" Soundtrack... For a good murder mystery movie KSO you should see it!
All the songs from the album Blue Lines are great, some other MA songs you should checkout - 'Safe from harm', 'Teardrop', 'Karmacoma', 'Risingson', 'Protection' x
Shara Nelson's album What Silence Know is pure excellence.
Used to have this cd, but it got lost when I moved home a few years ago. The never failing power of music to take you back to a time and place. And yes, it is very similar to The Verve's video.
Bristol Sound, unique
Another "walking" video clip is Mental As Anything's - He's Just No Good For You from 1978. A single long shot with 3 different takes being released as the official music video.
From 1987 you mean ;-)
@@bubblingdownunder I just figured as all the music video versions (as opposed to fan made or live) seem to have appended the year it would make it easier to find. 😉
Massive Attack also did the opening theme music for the FOX tv show "House", starring Hugh Laurie.
and HBO's Luck.
Actually, the song “Teardrop” was made many years before. Massive Attack gave them permission to use it as the opening track for the show.
Best song to drive with in a city. full stop. no argument.
Pura elegancia!
Seminal song, timeless. I find it hard to believe people have not heard this
Massive Attack Blue Lines and Mezzanine entire albums.
Massive Attack were just a huge influence for me from 19-26 and even now at 49
The video shooting is amazing: LA in 1991, Compton or Inglewood, a very dangerous place at that time; everything seems spontaneous but actually is carefully planned.
The whole album, 'Blue Lines' earned a 5/5 review from Rolling Stone magazine, and its well deserved. A great collection of songs. This song and video stands the test of time.
Protection by Massive Attack is beautiful
1 of my favourite tunes on 1 of my favourite albums , luv it x
This was released in 1991 during the first war against Iraq. The one launched by G Bush senior. They released it just under the name "Massive" because songs and band names with ,military or violent overtones ran the risk of getting no airplay!
One of my top 5 ever.
"Like a soul without a mind, in a body without a heart. I'm missing every part." Just one of many brilliant tracks of their 1st album Blue Lines. The whole thing is must listen. It's Massive!! xox
One of the few great songs from the 90s. Next Massive Attack song for you is "Teardrop". :)
Omg you finally did this one, how did i miss this. God damn it you tube.
angels is a good track by them. there was a rumour that a member of massive attack is banksy?
A nice little stroll through Los Angeles.
This was from the classic album - and it is a classic - Blue Lines. An incredible ground-breaking album. Every track is good.
I played and played this song so much when I was a teenager. Just so good. Anything by Massive Attack is a big winner ♥️♥️
'Sly' is another good one by Massive Attack
Their song Teardrop will blow you away.
The Verve was after this one - in this one she was interacting more with the people she walked past, whereas the guy in the Verve video was just carrying on through everything
Other Massive Attack songs you might want to hear: Teardrop (The "House" theme) ,Dissolved Girl (Used in The Matrix, I think), Psyche
Shara Nelson has at least one solo album that's worth a look.
She was one of many rotating vocalists for Massive Attack
Yes, Liz Fraser and Tracey Thorne also collaborated with Massive Attack in the early days.
This is the soundtrack to my life, great and hugely underrated band, especially over the pond In the US of A
@@frase03 theres a whole other rabbit hole following all their vocalists... Terry Callier, Horace Andy etc
@@Sandy-dd4le it certainly is, Horace Andy's vocals on Angel are sublime.
Unfinished sympathy is one of those mood songs I play when I feel I need some comfort
Mezzanine is a masterpiece Massive Attack album. Please check it out!
Early 90's UK classic!
Such a classy track still sounds great 30 years later.
