Wow has it been that long?? still can't this is 30yrs old & listening to this now definitely brings back loads of memories, this music is fabulous, breathtaking & spectacular in everyway as possible, this has been & always will be my all time favourite tune😊😉👍👍
I'm very pleased for yourself, that this beautiful song has stayed with you and helped you through your tough times. This beautiful song is one of my all time favourites. People sometimes let you down, music never will ✌️.
Great songwriting creates iconic songs that never loses strength as the years passes, Angela. I consider Massive Attack to be an iconic Trip-Hop force that has created great music and their best album remains Mezzanine to me. EVERY song on that album amazing and brilliant.
4 year old me, in the kitchen making lasagna and cookies with my Mom and her girl friend Savanna on a cool summer afternoon. Spanish Yellow tinted room.This song blasting from the radio with Moby, Mazzy Star and Euro Pop hits. I'm healthy. Young and happy. Everything was beautiful. Yellow and Orange, citrus energy all around. I miss it all.
This is the most romantic song I have ever heard and yet so simple. With no s...... lyrics. My partner and I have adopted this song as our own, we are now reunited after a separation of 50 years. We may not be fresh faced teens in the springtime of life. But we are both still as hot as ever for each other! Thank you Massive Attack.
Those strings....the way they variate their chords...from happy to sad...how it matches the verse....about unrequited love.....Chills "How can you have a day without a night?" is one of the most hauntingly desperate yet beautiful lines ever sung.
@@susisonderbar4171 I agree. can you make out what the guy is saying in the background near the end of this song? A song about being hurt and betrayed and you are sad and angry. A song about how can you be so selfish and so cruel. quite a painful song but also quite powerful. The girl keeps walking with her head up in the music video showing us that I am move on and I will never forget what you did to me. the pain she felt only made her stronger and a fighter.
Destroys me this track. It's just perfection the emotional response it brings, Shara's vocals are just beautiful. I'm in tears listening to it. It's that strong. Genius on every level.
My mum introduced this masterpiece to me when I was a little girl in the early 2000s. She had a CD with all of her fav songs on it from the 80s and 90s. This was one of the tracks! She’d blast it through the car stereo like we were having our own little party. I hadn’t heard this since then and now, here I am in my mid twenties listening to it all over again. Thank you, mum ❤ Fine taste in music.
It's definitely my favourite. In the 90s (good times!) I used to listen to it before every school exam, chilled me out max and got me my straight As for A Levels :). A gift to the world
Everything about it is so beautiful; the deep, earth shattering bass, the melodic orchestra, her emotional painful tone, the bells. It’s the perfect song. How they wrote this masterpiece is beyond me. Just wonderful.
Back when thus song came out I fell in love with it. I was struggling to design my next evening gown collection and had no clue where I was going to go with it. I heard this song while riding to lunch in a friends car. Instant chills then tears. I said please turn around and take me back to my studio. I designed the best evening gown collection I had ever made. Used this song for the show on loop. Best runway song ever. My all time favorite song.
All these years later and will never get sick of listening to this. Still gives me the same feeling now as it did when I first heard it. Absolutely class tune.
The OG trip hop album has evolved into an all time musical masterpiece. God this thing helped get us through college in the 90s. I am 47 and it sounds as exquisite ever. Massive...
Yeah, but when you consider the genius who perfectly juxtaposed that amazing percussion with both strings and piano, you get something that would bring tears to the eyes of Bach.
Met a girl 27 years ago. Fell out of touch for a few years. Met her again later. Spent a few happy years before she passed on. This song sums up all those years in between and all the years after.
I remember back in 1991 going to my favorite dance bar one Saturday night (Super Deluxe, Brisbane Valley) and the DJ at 5am played this as the last song and I ripped on to the floor alone and just moved to the beat non stop to its finish...I'll never forget it!
Every time i hear this song it stops me in my tracks.Whatever im doing i just stop and listen.Its haunting,it stirs emotions,it brings back. memories.Timeless piece of music.👏
This takes me back to my time in Germany... man, those were some of the best years of my young life and probably the best period in time for a person to have experienced life in that beautiful country that is Germany. I wish I had a time machine!
Me too, unfortunately we left meaningful and creative music back in the 90's. I'm also obsessed with 'Protection', 'Goldie Timless' and Bomb the Bass Winter in July.
Those strings and those vocals and drums and production. Truly brilliant. And that one shot music video filmed in Los Angeles, too! Dang, 30 years ago!
@Lisa Summers, I accidentally came across this song when I pressed the wrong button on a Jukebox many years ago whilst playing pool. The best mistake of my life. 110% Agree with you!
We absolutely had the best tunes ever. Massively classic love love it still after all these years. Brings back soooo many wicked memories of past friends. Xxxx massive love xxxx
Let it be unfinished until the end of times❤ Shara Nelson, the vocalist, was one of 5 writers of the song. Thanks for posting it. 🎄😄🎵🎶🎼 28 years later. Still such a beautiful chilled song
one of the most frustrating things about life is that there are so many other things to do in addition to playing this song. i will never have heard this enough.
I know that I've been mad in love before And how it could be with you Really hurt me baby, really hurt me baby How can have a day without a night You're the book that I have opened And now I've got to know much more The curiousness of your potential kiss Has got my mind and body aching Really hurt me baby, really hurt me baby How can you have a day without a night You're the book that I have opened And now I've got to know much more Like a soul without a mind In a body without a heart I'm missing every part [Repeat: x 5]
This is one of my favourite songs of all time. It makes me feel joy and sadness, as I remember dancing to this at Warsaw Ballroom in Miami Beach, and so many wonderful friends that were dancing with me are no longer with us. X Thank you
A perfect song, I listen this first time in an aircraft flying over Saudi Arabia in the night and saw the burning oil fields, an amazing moment in the life and believed in this moment to find somebody special!
