What an incredible cover. I discovered this song during a rough period of my life, and not only one of my favorites and most treasured, but its also become one of the few songs I'm just deeply attached to, for whatever the reasons. The original version is so powerful, immersive, and moving that when I decided to come here and check out some covers, I didn't really have any expectations. And then I came across this cover...almost f***ing instantly and on pure instinct I turned the volume all the way up, and gave it my absolute attention. I nearly cried from how the music just took over me and moved me, it brought back the memories of all the emotions from when I discovered it years ago and how things were for me back then, like I was hearing it again for the first time, which I was. This cover was absolutely a whole new experience and I'll remember it for a long time. But then it also made me realize that despite the upside down last year or so, today my life is in such a better place than when I first heard it, and it made me appreciate it a little more and everything/everyone I have. So Im extremely happy I came across this cover, and grateful for the artists, they made my week. Thank you Internet gods 🙏
I was ready to be hyper-critical of this cut, since Massive are one of my favorite groups and I set the bar impossibly high. That said, I can’t. This is brilliant and totally stands up on its own perfectly. Well bloody done!!
Amazing singing. Every aspect of her voice is mesmerizing. Her crooked smile at the end melts me every time. Whoever makes this woman happy will be rewarded with that look for a lifetime.
I feel you, I really love this cover-version. Also because the piano really recreates the atmosphere of Craig Armstrongs playing etc. But the original just has this unique "pulse", because the vocals work so great with the beat/tempo and the samples. :)
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="100">1:40</a> am Toronto time. Scanning some Massive Attack songs on RU-vid. Somehow came across this video... Beautiful chills, full and wonderful. Thank you, you've made my night and I can dream well. xx
I love what you've done with the flow and song construction, plus the tension you added. I'd prefer a deeper sounding singer but I'd say I'm loving everything you done with composition... even with the Nyman nuance :D
PIANO calls me, OUT LOUD, ...on this AMAZING COVER from one of my favourite British Band! Proudly, I announce in My Personal Google+, one of their MAJOR&BIG HITS! MASSIVE ATTACK...unlock any doubt, always...and every time.
"Hooverphonic speelt Unfinished Sympathy, een cover van Massive Attack vanop het Blue Lines album ter gelegenheid van De 5 van '91." What happened on December 5, 1991?
Ik kwam gisteren tot een andere constatatie toen ik ze live bezig hoorde in de Elisabethzaal. Zelfs mét het overduidelijk aanwezig orkest stal zij de show.
Iedereen zit hier maar te stoefen over die stem maar ze zingt twee keer echt vals en te zwak (nl. op <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="45">0:45</a> en vooral op <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="77">1:17</a>) - de rest wat ze doet is wel mooi en de piano is een goede interpretatie van de song.
How do all of these covers get that first line wrong? It's "I know that I've imagined love before" not "I know that I've been mad in love before". Makes no sense at all lol.
