Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy 

Amen to that!!

I rilly, rilly hope that things turned out well for you. You seem to have some grace and dignity for someone who went through the foster-"care" system.

How beautiful this is! Let God be with you!

I miss ya Kris haha

in 2024 as in 1991. The more things change, the more they stay the same...

Amen 🙏

Took me probably 20 years to find this

100% agree (from Denmark) 🤘🏼

Love this song

This piece is made for THE MOMENT

Yeah me too 20 yrs old in 1991

I´m from ´66 and you are so right man. It was a great time without this disgusting superficiality .

You are absolutely right. We are privileged to have been born in the 60s to 70s. The superficiality of our time permeates all levels. Terrible.

50 something here, I agree it was cool back then, but I'm 100% sure the kids are alright today, we just don't understand it, why hate on them? I don't, I'm just glad I experienced youth , its their turn in the sun, let's not degenerate other generations, we are gen X, we don't diss on old or young, we are just 'are'

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Unlike most of the crap that was out in the 90s with it.

@@kyachdistent1301 ча]+

Timeless and still fresh !!! And also classique! Much better than the comparison betw. the 50s to the 80s or betw. the 60s to the 90s of course. But what scares me more... THAT IT IS at least 30 yrs ago now, when i just turned to a young adult. Where did time go? But glad for THAT experience... You just have to replace the old 80s cars with new ones with the PC...it could easily be a NEW song😆!!!

@@kyachdistent1301 Absolute nonsense

masterpiece? Hahahahahaha

Yeah u read right.a masterpeice.unless of course your deaf

Absolutely. A true classic.

i wouldn't go that far but it's pretty good.@@hawk2million

this a masterpiece? hilarious..@@D33J3nk1

Thank you very much 😊

This song has heart, soul, but most of all Integrity.

❤ Appena l'ha trasmesso la Radio Capital , che si fa sentire dei brani degli anni 60,/70 /80 /90 tra anche questo brano. Bellissima melodia , con la voce unica .

Spiritual gentle power melancholic truthful

The movie sliver bought me here, sliver 1992

correct

And greatest video too..

Along with their other song Teardrop ❤

Duh

Yes!!

I went to College right down the street form the video shoot.. Otis Parsons School Of Design, Los Angeles. Good Times!

well that's just an opinion....that happens to be 100% true!!!

Yup. 'Lightning-in-a-bottle.'

Radio 1 used to do a top 100 voted hits of all time on a bank holiday Monday (might still do, I'm too old to listen or care) and one year this was number 1, quite out of the blue. Felt like the planets had aligned or something, this beat songs like Bohemian Rhapsody.

Indeed

💯 Bristol vibes everlasting !

Especially with all the complelety unnecessary conflict going on in the world.

Just a magic sound .. a pominon.

Grrrrrr, tis true. x Kinky Afro tho.

Yes🥶🥶🥶

Indeed 👣❤️⚕️❄️🌊🔉

Me too 😢

Total goosebumps!

It's Massive Attack what do you expect?

Mate, I had to have a little sit down when I realised I'd bought this is 1991...

You're 51 and your online handle is Mike Hunt? nice

@@richarddutchholland4780 Nothing funny about Michael Hunt. Mike Hunt however sounds like "my c-word". Arguably also not funny, but a 52 (sorry, the 51 was a typo) year old man having that childisch of a nickname is hilarious to me.

well said !!!!

Im 52, too, bro. Know it since it came out like you. Both of us have been somewhere in this world in the early 90s, listening to it. And now we met here, listening again. Isnt that crazy?

Im 60 and i agree.for ever.

I am 69 and Dan we are lucky that we lived through some of the most beautiful music ever. This track is a great example.

I wish you the longest live to enjoy as much music as you can

@@BorlockShaman Thanks Dado very kind thought and I hope you do as well !!

Im 40 and love it too

Especially when most of tje new wines taste like shit.

like a circle jerk, if you will

Yeah it does. It really does.

haha

Right.

And the video too, that single cut with all those perspective changes... Great stuff.

Yes

100%

Always will be!

real tears she must have been wonderful sorry for your loss j

Kat Leonard one of your grandma's favorites? high 5 to her!!

Love 2 Gran Xx

Chilled grandma 🖒and ur self

Wow! Isn't it great when your elders love the tunes you do! Must've been a powerful moment, words fail me but the music says so much .....X

it is 2020 and massive attack will be same in 1999 2014 2020 does not matter. Must be new old classic :D

My!!!!! ❤

Tl;dr: "I really like this song. It's my favourite."

you're perfectly right

it was my father yea. sometimes he rambles =/ right now though my ear is free as he is out returning video tapes

Groundbreaking and fantastic, agreed. The most beautiful since 1986 , hmmm that needs a discussion. I'll throw in Seal's debut album and 'Walking Wounded' for a start.

"Like a soul without a mind in a body without a heart I'm missing every part"

This filmclip always will remind me of my only holiday in the USA. To be fair, I was a kid. From a naive Aussie family in '98. Now that I realise some of the areas we went to because, why not?. Didn't even have Travellors insurance. Really hope it was some Crips who "found" my Duty Free Winfield Blues. LA and Mexico. Had a blast, us crazy Aussies. And everyone was chill in the US and Mexico. NO ONE gave us hustle. Drank Jungle Juice with my brother in Tijuana.... And the worm turned us both.... Stay Safe.

Thanks for sharing and lifting someone else up. Such an ethereal, moving song. It is really cool hearing about your friend behind the scenes.

Thanks for this info! Brings some more depth to the feeling of it after reading that. Such an iconic piece of film he made.

@@user-vu9ys5wm7d very well said. Thanks. Have a great day.

Hadn't realized his Passing until now... One of my favourite cinematic Videos that I still want to walk that route that He created in '92...R.I.P.

😂

My fav t-shirt from maybe 1997. Martin place. Red eye records.

I love it😊

Listening to it right now at 3.15 am. Never get tired of listening to this. Every time is as good as the first time I heard it.

Thanks

I was 21 when this song came out and I'm now 54. There was NOTHING like it when it came out, and it hit just like it does now.... a special groove that can't be duplicated.

Times are different today. I wouldn't want to be starting out again with all the challenges out there. I hope you can live a good, happy, healthy life.

So beautiful your coment

True

Merveilleusement bien dit!

Depends on where the light leads you.

She had great taste. Condolences, friend

You have my heart for your loss. Keep your head up.

sorry for your loss x

Your mum has got her speakers louder in heaven still playing this song RIP to your beautiful mum so sad I'm sorry you lost her so young ❤😢

The part where she sing "how can we have a day whitout a night" remind me of this period which unfortunately represents the night but which sooner or later will pass and then become day again

Than listen to philladelphia by bruce springstin

Watch 'CoronaComa' by 'Sly Toe Hand' I think it may interest you.

excellent jimmy!!!

sax so fabulous sonng!!!

What a beautiful way to describe this masterpiece .

i understand exactly what you mean. Such a great song and symphony ! Listen Sky and sand from Paul Kalbrenner, maybe you know this song. It is not the same tempo at all, but kind of same feelings for me.

Very well said my friend.

Beautiful. Well said

💯

Me...that someone who understands and was there.

​@@chantallenoir7875me too

Totally takes you to a different place IMO What a track.

True. Funny, how dramatic tempo at the end was popular in the 1990s.

I just could not convey that message to myself

Lesley Mollan I did, walked straight into the wardrobe

I think it's because of strings. They give it that orchestral feel! Also one of my favourites!

Ezra Rubenstein Yup, Will Malone's finest moment.

Epic tunes, for everyone to taste and feel. Can you still?

heavysmoker yees

muito bom

It put me on to trip hop recently I’m a fan now I’m so happy

@@KingstonTheArtist Trip hop didn't exist when this was made. But check out A Monk and Canatella.

the life momment you want to live and breath

Scarlett Russell maybe your just having withdrawal symptoms from the heroin

Bernard Quatermass Why this reply to a good comment from Scarlett?

It was a joke about the goosebumps that heroin addicts experience not a great joke admittedly but I'm glad I could clear this up for you

Scarlett Russell As a younger Adolescent, that first that first Beat and the Melody gave me scary chills.

Scarlett Russell Me too. It's in my top three goosebump pieces of music along with 'Gimme Shelter' by the Sisters of Mercy, and Handl's 'Sarabande'.

Sorry for your loss. Take care!

God bless x

It's a wonderful classic! I'm 19 and it's one of my favorite songs of all time for a few years now since I've discovered it. It's such a great track, it's still fresh and still will be when I'll be older. It's beautiful how it's able to connect so many people from many backgrounds, so many generations....

I'm even older and it just stays with me. Love it!

Pete Robbins I’m 59 it never loses it punch, love it. It’s our era

Your the best.xx

40 years old ... pure luv this song!!!!

Made on a few bits of 90s hardware, but with a lot of soul.

exactly!

Spot on!

Ja man

Agreed

Absolutely with u. A Masterpiece full of energy to over help u stay strong I. This times. Peace ND U ity we need... Live without freedom is a body without heart.....

I always listen to it 🙌

This song will never age. Fact!

+Filipe Henriques For always!

+Filipe Henriques True

+Filipe Henriques Holy music.

+Filipe Henriques in der Tat. 25 Jahre Geschichte ;)

+Filipe Henriques Do you know, I always find myself coming back to this song time & time again. Throughout the years. In ecstasy and in pain. This song just hits you where it needs to be hit. whatever the emotion at the time. This song suits it. If you were to ask the average musical aficionado have they heard of Massive Attack, the vast majority would not. But you're right, this song is a masterpiece. Pure genius. In 100 years time, this song will be listened to. And in 1,000. Epic accomplishment.

@Daniel C It all went Pete Tong?

@@rogink nice one

@Daniel C damn

@Daniel C Tragic

@@rogink I've not heard that bit of rhyming slang in a long time lol.

The 90's were truly taking music into its limits, Massive Attack and Trip-Hop in general was a great example to this with the birth of the Bristol sound. Just a real hype to get into a new century overall, As to cite a comment i once read on an Aphex Twin song.

Its somethn magical

@@october1820 I was out in Bristol in the late 90s....great times and the music that was coming out of there....another level....Portishead etc etc

When it resonates, it resonates.

I've been appreciating it since 1991. Quite literally thirty years 🙇🏻‍♂️ Without doubt the best track I have ever heard. I want this played at my funeral. Peace out my brothers and sisters, much love.

Real music with real words and real sounds. What's that!!

😍

VERY SAMEEE🙌🔥

Makes me cry

Just quietly, where the hell did those more than 30 years ago? This is one of those that takes me back to that time. This is a recurring theme with my comments, but I’d give anything to be back there

Oh hell yeah! So so good!

Ah will you come off it there is loads of good music around today, ye just have to look for it .

that sound and feeling is no more.Dont bother looking for something which is not there just reminisce

Robbie Shand I listened to this constantly when I was about 30, I'm now 55. Your right, amazing song that transcends time.

The wack generation!

26???

There's a lot out there, but this was a big one and certainly captured the moment. Alas I tend to think our world state is even worse.

¿What ????¿

??

30 years before that was 1961, which was only 16 years after WWII

sempervirent...

Amazing song! 30 years old... Pfff...! One of my favorite songs ever. 😌

Stafford Bryer 😄

That's awesome. Great choice.

You’ll see him someday on the other side ❤️

Life is constantly having to say goodbye... Live your life to the fullest and think about how your father would have wanted only the best for you... I know what that pain feels like, having lost my dad in 2011 and my sweet mom only 4 months ago... I wish you a lot of strength and a promise that this too shall pass. Loved ones continue their journey while we are merely living this life until we join them...

He’s got good taste. Sorry about your loss.

This was also played at my father's funeral, his casket was taken out to mad world and it was beautiful

so right !!

This song is timeless. MTV not so much.

The true sign of a classic

Next to Bach.

Watch 'CoronaComa' by 'Sly Toe Hand' I think it may be of interest to you.

Iconic is the word. Peace

@Roz true indeed my friend. Truly uplifting in the times we are all living in currently. 🙏🏾

Yes this man made CON-undrum.

We may have opened our globe‘s book but it‘s an unfinished sympathy tainted with all sorts of maltreatment 💔

❤same

Now 31 years old. Time flies. It's still and will always be timeless

Real life captured in a single tune. I hear you.

They did where I'm from.... Which is Bristol, England.

They were massively famous in Ireland (if you'll forgive the pun) when I was a kid. Their song Teardrop was remixed to be the main theme for the TV show House M.D., and Angel was another famous tune of theirs

@@Ixaglet when were you a kid?

@@paulduffy4585 born '89

@@Ixaglet ok. I missed the 90s and 00s. Born 71, left around 90.

Yes because it reminds you of your youth

Yeah.

jaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Only 56 ?? You bloody youngster - 64 here, and still liking.

SelfReferencingName I didn't mean to put that😂😂

Exactly

Her performance is amazing, but it was Massive Attack that created the song

Will Malone's skyscraping string arrangement is equally important.

@@phineasgage8252 and she wrote the lyrics so your points kinda moot

Master-piece! 30years old now

That statement is definitely not over the line. Mark it 10/10!

take a one direction song and try saying that statement........ mainstream modern music is so fucking tragic....

some of us won't live that long

but this song will live for ever

marsfuture I totally agree ^_^

marsfuture I was 16 in 1991 and 90s were the best music/clubbing days of my life..ppl just wanted to be together and party enjoy being young pity youth today wernt the same✌

marsfuture Idk, some were great, some were not .

Ayshea Forshaw I was too! I couldn't agree more. I think it's more amazing that here we all are NOW In 2018, in our 40s lol, gathering at the RU-vid comment section, to voice our love and appreciation for such raw talent snd sheer genius. Massive attack is something that can't be explained. I saw them in concert in 2007 and I have never felt luckier. They are a musical phenomenon. One of a kind for sure.

You couldn't have expressed that better, so true, so true!

I loved being a silly 20 year old interviewing them when I understood we would all find them amazing. i'm still little but I'm glad we know this together!!!

In 20 years kids will be saying the same thing to you my friend :) Good music is timeless. It'll always be good no matter what, because what makes music good or not is whether it touches your emotions. I'm sure there's music being made *right now* that you love! Make sure to go and see it live, and in 20 years you'll have a cool story to tell the younguns. (I've seen Daft Punk, Muse, Radiohead, Rage Against The Machine, System Of A Down, Tool, Aphex Twin, The Chemical Brothers, and John Williams the classical guitarist, to name a few)

Yeah but the important thing is that you are discovering good music and you recognise the difference. That's awesome. I am a huge music nerd and I find music to be a time machine and a universal language that crosses all cultures, generations, races, genres and time... What matters is that we share good music with people who we care about... There was something very special about making a mix tape back in the 80s/90s...you'd have to consider the time on each side, usually a 90 min cassette split into 2...try get the theme and flow of the songs and take up as much time as possible... Getting your tape and stack of cds and you'd have to listen to the songs as you record them... So you felt the music you were sharing even more... Click record... Click stop... Change cd... Click record etc... Then you use your best hand writing to make the inlay card. You choose your whole layout like it would be for me usually 1) Massive Attack : Unfinished Sympathy 2) Nirvana : Heart Shaped Box Etc etc... Then you rewind the tape and maybe put a sticker on the case and when you share it you huddle together and you excitedly point out songs and tell them how great the song is... Nothing better than hearing 'oh wow I really love this song and I don't have it!' Music was valued more and people had the attention span for an album, a great album told a story, brought you somewhere and was a soundscape that you could explore over and over... Now music is too disposable, too cheap sounding, relies too much on gimmicks and trends... There's barely enough attention span for a 3 min song letalone something with a coda! Some of my favourite albums Nine Inch Nails: The Fragile Prince: Sign O The Times The Cure : Disintegration Radiohead: OK Computer Oasis: Definitely Maybe Fleetwood Mac: Rumours Manic Street Preachers :Holy Bible David Bowie: Scary Monsters New Order: Substance My Bloody Valentine : Loveless I could do you 100 top albums and there's 4-5 albums by Prince and Bowie I'd suggest here too, majority of New Order, NIN annd Radio head's albums are incredible too... This is just my desert island discs if I wasn't allowed 'best ofs' (I cheat with New Order a bit here though!) I miss out on stuff like In Utereo by Nirvana, Achtung Baby by U2, Rid of Me by PJ Harvey, Debut by Bjork, Aenima by Tool, Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos, Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness by Smashing Pumpkins, Never Mind The Bollocks by Sex Pistols, Music for the Gilted Generation by The Prodigy, Heaven or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins, Discovery by Daft Punk, Life after Death by Notorious Big, reasonable Doubt by Jay Z, Fear of a Black Planet by Public Enemy, Street Songs by Rick James... Shit dude I can go on an on... Just enjoy what you like and don't give a damn what people think! Enjoy your groove and turn it up high!

we had the best time in the 80s90s so glad I got to experience it. it's not the Same now 😭 music is timeless tho 👌🎶🎧🎵🎹

Yes its true! Please look this Dokumentation on You Tube: Occult music industry

@@Ixaglet no they will not there was a monumental shift some time ago with so called popular mainstream music. As usual still great stuff to be found for those who take the time to look

So right mate

Damn I miss the 90's

Man you hit it right in the head. I was 6 yrs old when this came out and all the music The came out of the early 90s mostly sounded like this and I remember every bit of it because my father used to play music like this all the time , Enya, Sade, New Age music in general. Man i miss the 90s so so much. Such a vibrant time.

You are so true ...

Infact it's 33 years old. It was released in 1990

Wow... way off the mark... this is ostensibly in minor.... d minor.... not even close to G major... also: nothing indicates that JSBach liked or used G major more than any other key... as for other classical composers..... Beethoven certainly favoured Eb major, this is well known and documented. Mozart used D major a lot, G major is coming in at 6th place....

@@thehappypimp Correct, Just plinked it out. Dminor. You can jam a dminor 6th chord with it. Didn't know that's what it was till I looked it up. Overated work too IMHO. Give me Wayne County any day ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LJYnSMk9seE.html

Its a 90's doesn't it

It will never not be a masterpiece... :-)

this comment actually brought tears to my eyes...thanks!

I totally feel the same way. When MTV was about music, not stupid teens that don't know about contraception. Stuff like 120 Minutes, The Party Zone and YO MTV Raps, not forgetting MTV News. When I loved MTV U2 was doing the Zoo TV tour and grunge had just started. MTVs Most Wanted with Ray Cokes was fantastic madness that is sadly lacking from modern TV. Still we have the great memories of what it was.
