Massive Attack - Angel 

It's really difficult to grasp the fact that this song and album are 24 years old and STILL sound fresher and better than a lot of the music created today. I miss this era!!!

On 4 December 2004 I met a woman in her own home. At one point in the evening she went to the computer to play music. I approached her with all the courage I could muster at the time, she was 4 years older than me. I asked her for a song so that I could give her a kiss. She didn't look up from the computer. After a few seconds she pressed play on a song, Angel by Massive Atack started playing, she got up from her chair, and we kissed. We spent the whole weekend together. Less than three years after that day, we got married. As we walked into the hall with all the guests, this was our song. Fortunately, we are still together with two children, we have overcome many battles, there is probably not as much passion today as there was on that 4th of December. But for me, and I'm sure for her too, every time we listen to this song, we are transported and find the happiness of that special moment. Thanks a million Massive Attack for making this song that has meant so much in my life. If you happen to read this, don't worry, I'll thank my wife personally for playing it 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅

RIP Angelo Bruschini, your guitar work on this song, Mezzanine and 100th window will live on

I'm a 63 yr old woman, and this song is just incredible. Soundtrack to my life.

The video is about running away from your fears, the longer you run away from them the greater they become until you reach to a point from where you can no longer run as if there is no land left for you to run on and there it is your greatest fears stood there right in front of you, and then you realize that these fears are just an illusion and that you confront them head on and then they are frighten of you at the moment you start chasing them.

every time i buy new headphones, i test it on this song!!

Moral of the song: You run away from problems, they will increase. If you run towards them to fix them, the problems will run away

R.I.P dear Angelo! You fought this battle bravely! Thanks for everything! The world is so grateful to your contribution to the music!

Over 20 years later this is still absolutely mint

timeless masterpiece. Massive Attack is out of this world

RIP Angelo Bruschini, whose guitars are incredible on this track.

This has gotta be one of the most badass songs I've ever heard

amongst the sexiest tracks of all time

A message to the future generations. Don't let this song die.

RIP Angelo - You'll live on forever thanks to your wonderful playing!

this music, the vibes, the lighting, the camera action, it all screams early to mid-2000's action movies. Every time I watch this, I feel like I'm on my toes waiting for something to happen, you really do just feel like angst

after 20 years I finally see the message in their metaphysical videos. Love it. Face your fears, otherwise you will keep running away until desperation.

Some people are saying that this is about running away from/facing your fears. I think it's actually about running away from yourself entirely. Your true, full self. When he turns around and recognizes what's happening, the crowd mirrors him. The crowd *is* him. All of the things in his head. His fears, talents, ambitions, faults, desires. When he accepts them All of them He turns back to face the world Fronted by an army.

I will never not get chills when that snare hits just before the distorted guitar part comes crashing in at the end of the “love you” line. Such an amazing opener to such a legendary album!

May 2024 and this still hits me❤

Jesus, has it really been 20 years? The entire Mezzanine album still sounds like it could have been released today.

Portishead and Massive Attack embody an era: the era of trip hop. Precious and timeless.

That smiles after he turns back is so powerful

April 2024 who listening this song whit me

Face your demons. Face your fears. The more you run, the more will come. Turn around... make them... run from you.

Massive attack is ART

Massive Attack used to be the most influential bands of the 90`s. They would deserve a serious prize

Gentleman. Set the room up. Put this jam on repeat. And go to work on her. Jaw may hurt for a few days. BUT. Worth it. You’re welcome.

This song takes me back, reminds me of what life was like as a kid. Everything, even the mundane and mediocre were interesting and exciting. Life was simple, world felt so small and yet so enormous at the same time, as if everything was a mystery to be discovered. Now as an adult, most things are dull and uninteresting, the feeling of adventure is gone and so is the enthusiasm provided by blissful ignorance of a child. As a kid life was like a page from a story book, now it feels like a statistic report. Sometimes I wonder is it just me, the fact that my life changed at some point or the fact that world has changed a lot? would I be as happy as I was in the past if I was a kid right now? don't know. Sorry for the long post, sometimes emotions pile up and you gotta let them out.

WOOOW. AWSOME CONCEPT. a man is scared so he runs from his fears. but then he realises he can confront them so when he does, his fears flea from him.

To Angelo, Great playing. Your riffs will live for ever.

How deep in our consciousness is this tune? Absolutely love it! BRING IT ON! 14 years old? No way. This spoke to my heart yesterday..

This is one of the best music videos of all time..face your fears folks, and your fears will flee..

Just watched "Snatch" and this song is played in one of the scenes. Absolute timeless masterpiece.

The fact that this music doesn't need lyrics to convey it's message is amazing

This song is absolutely timeless. The true meaning of timeless.

I am SOOOO happy I found this band!!! I scares me to think about what other music I am missing out on...

You are my angel Come from way above to bring me love Her eyes, she's on the dark side Neutralize every man in sight To love you, love you, love you You are my angel Come from way above To love you, love you, love you

The 90s were a powder keg of creative art through music and no other generation got such a pallet to choose from. This is truly art.

On my top ten list. I saw them in concert a few times and first heard this full album laying on a beach in Costa Rica when it first came out. It was out of this world then and it still is now in 2024.

Man I love the feels from Massive Attack. The music is straight up intoxicating.

You are my angel Come from way above To bring me love (To bring me love) Her eyes She's on the dark side Neutralize Every man in sight Love you, love you, love you Love you, love you, love you Love you, love you, love you... You are my angel Come from way above Love you, love you, love you Love you, love you, love you Love you, love you, love you...

Great to have just come across this band after hearing of the sad passing of their guitarist. Simple brilliant. So glad to be in the UK.

The last few seconds of this video starting with when he stops to turn around, faces the crowd and the silent interaction between them is fascinating. Better acting in those few moments than most theatrical films 🎥

This song will forever be timeless

This album is a godly thing. Mezzanine has been on my regular playlist for long years and never gets boring or old. Timeless AF.

Amazing ...I can feel n see the darkness of this song

If you're still listening to this masterpiece, you have a good taste in music. 💞👌😊👍

Fear, that pervasive feeling that seemingly takes control, but when confronted, dissipates quickly...I love the symbolism of this video! And it brought me back to all the 90s!

I was 17 and was listening to this, I am 40 and still listening to this song having the same feelings... ❤

One of my all time favorites, timeless masterpiece, massive attack is out of this world .RIP Angelo - November 2023

Bought this album in 98 when it came out. Anytime I hear someone say 90s music sucks I give them a death stare. Massive attack was way a head of its time. Brilliant music.

"Never turn your back on fear. It should always be in front of you, like a thing that might have to be killed." Hunter S. Thompson

My son is 12 and this is one of his favourite songs from Massive Attack ❤

Farewell Angelo Bruschini, great great sound.

This style of trip hop has this innate ability to draw in goths/metalheads, club kids/ravers, hip hop fans, hippies/new agers, and more. These songs never feel dated and still make it into the playlists of 20 year olds, even now. Why do we not hear more music like this? If local clubs and bars had dark trip hop dance parties they would get such a huge turnout with such an interesting cross section of people from various subcultures, all connected by the music.

I am 71 and still groove to old and new music. Angel with my Bose on takes the stress away.

One of the best albums ever

Who are all you people in the comments? I want to have friends that share this taste in music

essa música caiu como uma luva na novela, impressionante!

The more you run away from fear, the more will come. Face your fear, the more you face it, the more will retreat and Angel will always at your side to help conquer fear.

my friend showed me this song a few months ago and i fell in love with this band, I don't know how i haven't heard their songs yet but i love this style of music

The whole album was absolutly gold

Hoje a gente volta a ouvir essa música.

❤❤Love the music!!! Love from Chicago!!!❤❤🤍🤍💙💙

24 years ago i was in basic - we were starting for the "long march" (30k with some 30kg ballast - in Switzerland, read: lots of hight-difference to master) during endurance-week. fellow soldier had a portable radio added to his luggage (bless this dude) and he was plaing mezzanine on "repeat after last track". waiting for the command to start, angel was running. let's just say - i heard this song several times that night and morning, and i learned to love it. gave good rythm to walk by. thanks massive attack, with your "musical support" i was able to end that march successfully! and during the next day "outside" i even gotten me the album myself. it's just too good.

That music is incredibly beautiful, i dont have any words to describe it.

This video describes paranoia. Feeling chased. But if you are the one to chase the chaser, he runs away.

One of greatest songs and mvs in history. Period.

Who's still listening 🎧 in 2024?!

não consigo escutar sem pensar em verdades secretas, que música maravilhosa scr❤

One of the most powerful music videos I have ever seen. Perfectly matches the music.

One of the best music video and song in the world

Eternal masterpiece

The dudes were just like "Yo bro you dropped your keys"

20 years after, i still think this song is sent from the future. this sound is unique.

Great track off classic record 🔥😎 RIP Angelo.. 🥺🙏🙏🙏

This is a classic, ethereal alluring. ❤❤❤❤

this track still lives deep within my heart, the rawness and emotion behind such a phenomenal track and also the ability to be able to move you and inspire you is such an effect. Massive Attack will forever be my favorite trip hop artist hands down!

Verdade Secretas me trouxe aqui

Suspense.... This song makes you feel "cool" whichever side you're on And then there's Snatch 👌

"Ah, Tyrone" -best movie ever conceived by human kind.

"Courage, isn't the absence of fear. But rather acting in spite of it!" -General Donald Doyle

Mezzanine has to be one the best produced albums of all time, if not the best.

May 2024 let’s goo!!! This won’t stop playing in my head as I wake up

VTMB and Snatch both bought me to this song. such a banger. I love it.

this song is immortal. I've listened to it as nauseum and yet I've never once seen the music video until now; it's always been beyond visuals for me. as cliché as it is to say, you don't just listen to this song, you experience it. however that may be

LYRICS: You are my angel Come from way above To bring me love (To bring me love) Her eyes She's on the dark side Neutralize Every man in sight Love you, love you, love you Love you, love you, love you Love you, love you, love you... You are my angel Come from way above Love you, love you, love you Love you, love you, love you Love you, love you, love you...

Not my usual type of music, yet I find it superbly infringing. This music remenatates a lot of sensuality. It's a class act x

Stunning + timeless.

This song was played at the funeral of a colleague of mine in 2008, still gives me the shivers. beautiful and impressive.

One of the greatest songs of the past two decades.

Holy cow...that was AWESOME!!!!!

An absolute legendary song

This album is perfection.

I don't know where I'd be without Massive Attack. Angel is a piece of art that I've adopted in many different scenarios. When I was young, out driving for hours on end care free, I'd have it playing. And now that I'm older, more settled with a family, I still seek its wisdom. The highest comment discusses fear, which when re-watching the vieo, is now clear to me. Our fears change over time, though dependent on our preveiling situations, some are still common as time passes. I've always been angry/short tempered, and, it's gotten worse. So what I actually fear now, is myself. Not the fear of missing out, fear of failing, fear of a lack of knowledge, fear of the truth, fear of losing friends, etc, but my own actions.

One of a kind music video. It shows how life can change gears at any MOMENT...!!!

這個太強了，越來越多在追他，待他轉回頭他一個追好幾百個😂😂😂😂😂

... I will NEVER forget hearing this while watching "Snatch"...that part when he's narrating about "how they burned up his trailer-- with his mom in it"....and the slow-mo fire, and a slow push in on Brad Pitt's face illuminated by the glow of the fire.... he's all dirty & sooty from trying vainly to go into the inferno and pull his mom out.....his friends holding him back from what would be surely suicide... Good song for that part of the movie.

Verdades Secretas 2 tem q ser essa música de abertura novamente 🥳🥳🥳😍😍😍
