    The year was 1995...when Mtv played good music. I was 15 and got hooked on those new sounds. Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead etc... What an era.

    Massive attack has many songs that you can call popular but Sly is kinda underrated I think. This song responds in my soul. Every time while I listening to this I get very emotional (but among people I'm always cold as ice whenever its possible) and think about beauty, harmony, all that stuff. That mood, vibe, sound... Everything made just perfect. I wish it could last longer every time, ehh...

    for me this song is about the perception that your soul has been here before...feelings of an old soul and a mind more sensitive to the chaos and more aware of intuition and the realm of the unseen spiritual ...I also was reminded of the diffrences and similarities of culture religion and oppression psychology versus psychic ability etcetera

    [Verse 1: Nicolette]
    I try to believe what I feel these days
    It makes life much easier for me
    It's hard to decide what is real these days
    When things look so dizzy to me
    [Verse 2]
    I already know my children's children's faces
    Voices that I've heard before
    There's always more
    There's always more
    [Hook]
    Wondering leaving the sea behind
    To my home which everybody owns
    Wondering, wondering
    Where we can do what we please
    Wondering
    [Verse 3]
    I feel like a thousand years have passed
    I'm younger than I used to be
    I feel like the world is my home at last
    I know everyone that I meet
    [Verse 4]
    Somewhere in the music I can hear the bells
    I heard a thousand years before
    There's always more
    There's always more
    [Hook 2]
    Wondering is this there all there is
    Since I was since I began to be
    Wondering, wandering
    Where we can do what we please
    Wondering

    It feels when you listen to the music of Massive Attack through the years, the meaning becomes deeper and deeper. Seeing you live was already the most beautiful trip. The water, the start of creation, the creatures belong to the one Ocean. Life is like being an avatar choosing a new body everytime you die in this game. Keep on wandering through these levels.. until.. we become 1 again with the 0cean.

    The first time I heard this track on MTV, I was instantly hooked. I was glued to the set hoping it would come on again later in the day to record it on (video) tape, and to my greatest delight it did! A few days later, I bought the album. Sly is always on my playlist (as much as the rest of the album). It's a track that i can never get enough of. Pure brilliance!!
