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!!!
A lot of stuff from the late sixties and early seventies sounds fresher and better than a lot of music created today, but I get your point and I agree.
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 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅
Don't get me wrong I love your story, But... this song is a...I just commited a very bad act kinda song. My guess is your wife was Black Widow who changed her mind. You are lucky she loves you! Enjoy what days you have left sir!
Yessss, I was just talking about it today, 90' music was the best, no matter what genre, there was something for everyone. I miss the good music and the great artists.❤
Over 20 years ago my dad got me some CDs from the flea market with this album among them. I put the CD on having no clue what was on it. The moment this track started I fell into the rabbit hole, into the new world. 💜 I still have the same feeling when I hear this masterpiece.
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.
+skylander Very interesting interpretation. I was thinking of running away from demons, particularly where 3D nods to him, as if to say, come on, up to you. Terrific vid.
If you know the head balance we used to have this is a mind trip!!! When everything was mastered properly and you literally could feel it across your brain
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.
Finally, after what seems a lifetime of listening to this song, I got to hear it live in Bristol in August at the Massive Attack concert... it was an EPIC moment, the rain was pouring down on us, the sound system was booming, and it was like a religious experience.
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!
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.
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
The other day, I was watching Snatch with Brad Pitt and Jason Statham, and discovered this song is part of the soundtrack. You can hear it in the background of one of the most important scenes in the movie. Just lovely
I think the point of the video is they are all his angels. That's why they all match his smile at the end. They were just following his movement throughout the video.
I never heard of this guy, '99 kid and raised by 70's parents I know a lot of old music but I guess I'm still finding gems from this era in particular. I literally got chills listening to this.
I been listening to it since 1999, go, great movie And snatch Firewall was just okay. All 3 used this song. Male vocals btw, that one threw me for a loop
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.
Honestly mate I don't think you would be as happy a kid today as back then. I was going through the same feelings as you a few months ago then I had an epiphany and now trying everything I know how to put the enjoyment back in life. Our life experience, thoughts and wisdom is what the world needs us for right now.
@@ec4020 You are right. Life has changed for multitude of reasons and not for the better I'd say. Things were simple back then, less was more. Now everything is overexposed to the point of barely having any value. Most things now feel so hollow.
Agreed and Desagreed. I suppose time and age make us feel exhausted, weary, and bored. And there's also the "internet era" that puts information, knowledge, food, merchandise and entertainment within an arm's reach making us believe that we have seen, listend and tried it all when in fact screen (bad) experiences are a big lie. I read somewhere that when we are kids, our innerself is like a shiny cristal ball that gets dust and dirt as we grow up... Some ideas to get rid of the dust: 1) Talk with kids (no to kids) and let them teach you to see (again) how wonderful the world is; 2) make a long walking tour with family or good friends to appreciate Nature; 3) set up on a sabbatical year (some months would be just as good) living in a very different country (3rd-world one?, not risky, Christian & Spanish-speaking perhaps); 4) spend some time in a religious monastery (no need to be religious just a respectful person yourself)... other ideas to help you to wipe the dust off your cristal ball?
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 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.
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 🎥
Yes. It's almost not acting, contrary to actors most often exaggerating certain aspects to pronounce their roles. (Which is not to say that I don't enjoy films as well.) I think the slow motion effect also plays a lot into this, in combination with the slow rhythms of the music. The forming of a feeling, or a thought, from mostly simple things. The crowd is like a part of the protagonist, they're all the little impressions and memories he gets from his own correlations with everything on his "journey" (moving, running, returning, repeating, rethinking, learning, changing, coherence and contradiction in the same move, echoes of thoughts and of the past/present, things we don't always realise that they had an influence on us or became part of us, as well as the influence we might have on other people, and at the same time we're all disconnected, singular, but some feel it more than others).
@@werewindwolf I'm very shocked of this videoclip. I think, that it's more deep. It's all about panic attacks and fears. Last scene shows when he look in eyes of fears and drive them away!
I found this years ago, but missed out a lot. Never heard any new music for years. Now I am thinking the same: I might have missed masterpieces while I was listening to music from the eighties.. Or after 2005. Damn!!
+Fryderyk Jaron It's a cover. They used the music from an opening theme in a game called Vampire the masquerade: bloodlines. I love the game and the song
You are correct. I went down in the comment section and found out it was the opposite. Vtm:B Actually sampled this song for their game. Not the other way around.Either way I love both versions.
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!
+Bacon your comment is racist. if you try not to help someone or ignore something to not look racist you are racist. if your actions are dependent on physical appearance you are racist. its not just black/white/yellow/red thing, race is a loose and informal biological term meaning group of individuals of a species with similar physical characteristics. like a race of tall people or blond people or brown-eyed people. it has no meaning because everything can be a division line for grouping someone in a race.
sakatababa wow. I type my little sarcastic comment and you type a paragraph long attempt at some philosophical bullshit 😂😂😂😂. Keep up the good work, bubbs.
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...
This song is like don't run away from your fears face them because most likely those fears aren't so scary after all or who you're afraid of isn't so scary as they've made you seriously perceive and feel. You've just exerted all that energy and tired yourself out causing yourself so much stress, fear, and anxiety, and for what exactly?. You'll try to fight it oh yes and try every way to avoid it but you can't until you stop being afraid of it or who you're afraid of, and when you do those fears will subside and dissolve away. All those guys are like a reflection of his fears and then when he stops running and realises his fears aren't as scary as they seemed he then starts chasing them away instead.
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.
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.
old is the new young - i am 60 in october and it was all punks mods and NWOBHM when i was a kid and massive attack make maybe the best music i have ever heard
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...
@@normiisoliiz8579 una vez leí esa pregunta de que canción bailarias en el table e inmediatamente se me vino a la mente esta canción pero nomas no se me ocurre una coreografía pero definitivamente esta haha
I have a little vault in my heart dedicated to "best songs ever", and this has been in it for many many years. I can't begin to describe how much I love this masterpiece.
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
This is the song and video that I need to show my daughter to prepare her for what she needs to know about life. I wish it had been made when I was her age.
@@lisahenry1560 Let's say everyone's got good thoughts and bad thoughts, experiences we make, that echo through our minds the rest of our lives. Everything we do is connected, if ever so slightly. Some experiences just make us who we are, others need to be put in their place lest they overwhelm us.
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 ...
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
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 wish other trip hop songs were more like this too. Not that they aren't as good, but this has a certain flavor to it that makes it so unique. I absolutely love it.
Morcheeba: howling, hooverphonics: strickly out of phase, garbage : struck of luck, Tricky: overcome(this one)... There is plenty of trip hop band but like everything good it's not having the favor of mainstream media.
Uma música incrível, construída com toda a minuciosidade de uma obra prima, o baixo distorcido aos poucos ganhando sua presença no som, a percussão e principalmente; o vocal da música, fazem dessa música uma obra prima. O álbum Mezzanine por inteiro é uma obra de arte atemporal. Massive Attack é uma banda incrível, e o gênero trip-hop foi de longe uma das melhores coisas que surgiram dentre todas as ramificações musicais dos anos 90.
It's like in a dream. If somebody is chasing you, try to stop, turn around and go right at them. And you'll become the one who are they running from. Works every time.
This video broke me down and built me up!! We run away fromthings our whole lives thinking they are against us, when truly they only want to help us grow and make us see
You'll enjoy my channel massive attack inspire some of my creations as well as bt vnv nation, eiffel 65,armin van buren, gareth emery as well as rock metal
The undulating, vibrating in the background and the lazy vocals do exactly that for me. Like heavy and cumbersome, like a sickness. Love is a sickness.
Грант Маршалл в этом клипе просто великолепен, а скорее харизматичен в своей невозмутимости) Этот коллектив умеет доводить свою идею до конца как в аудио формате, так и в видеоряде, где участвуют не менее талантливые люди
I would like to thank Massive Attack for helping me face my fears and my addictions. Here we are five years later, and I'm still clean.
Good job, that's some achievement. Keep it that way
Thank God! For Him are all the Praises and Glory! Music is life and life is music ❤ Greetings from Amsterdam

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.

I found this years ago, but missed out a lot. Never heard any new music for years. Now I am thinking the same: I might have missed masterpieces while I was listening to music from the eighties.. Or after 2005. Damn!!
Randomly watching the movie Snatch on Netflix, and this beat starts playing..had to find it
Mozart's 25th symphony
Just watched "Snatch" and this song is played in one of the scenes. Absolute timeless masterpiece.
The whole soundtrack for snatch is incredible stuff
Was looking for this comment. I didnt know it was Massive Attack that did this.
both
I thought I knew this song. It played in the scene of his mother dying, right,?
@@wyntersteele1a Yea
One of the most powerful music videos I have ever seen. Perfectly matches the music.
We are all here together, let us unite and show this world we are ready to grow beyond it
That music is incredibly beautiful, i dont have any words to describe it.
ikr
+Fryderyk Jaron It's a cover.
They used the music from an opening theme in a game called Vampire the masquerade: bloodlines.
I love the game and the song
+Smiley Me That would be "sampling" not a cover, Smiley. Also, this song is six years older than VtM:B.
You are correct. I went down in the comment section and found out it was the opposite. Vtm:B Actually sampled this song for their game. Not the other way around.Either way I love both versions.
+Smiley Me haha sorry but how the fuck could someone get confused like that
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!
Hell yeah.. I’m randomly watching the movie Snatch on Netflix right now, and this beat started playing..so grimey
#Portishead.
How have I not come across this work of art before?
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.
Woah!!!!
flee. Fleas are what's on a dag.
Chris Watson He's black. Leave him alone. That's racist.
+Bacon
your comment is racist. if you try not to help someone or ignore something to not look racist you are racist.
if your actions are dependent on physical appearance you are racist. its not just black/white/yellow/red thing, race is a loose and informal biological term meaning group of individuals of a species with similar physical characteristics. like a race of tall people or blond people or brown-eyed people. it has no meaning because everything can be a division line for grouping someone in a race.
sakatababa wow. I type my little sarcastic comment and you type a paragraph long attempt at some philosophical bullshit 😂😂😂😂.
Keep up the good work, bubbs.
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...
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
That is what the video conveys, but what about the song?
@@PalashChanda-m2o fire
I'm running away from this comment but in my dreams. It feels like I'm sleep-typing a response that nobody will read. ✌️
This song is like don't run away from your fears face them because most likely those fears aren't so scary after all or who you're afraid of isn't so scary as they've made you seriously perceive and feel. You've just exerted all that energy and tired yourself out causing yourself so much stress, fear, and anxiety, and for what exactly?.
You'll try to fight it oh yes and try every way to avoid it but you can't until you stop being afraid of it or who you're afraid of, and when you do those fears will subside and dissolve away. All those guys are like a reflection of his fears and then when he stops running and realises his fears aren't as scary as they seemed he then starts chasing them away instead.
@@PalashChanda-m2o song says "you" are my angel.
Here you is "problem" by solving them you become greater man so they are angle in disguise
One of the best music video and song in the world
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.
Wisdom!
да, это очень точно сказано, пусть всех вас оберегает Господь!
True that.
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..
One of the greatest songs of the past two decades.
VTMB and Snatch both bought me to this song. such a banger. I love it.
two pop culture things I love
Jesus, has it really been 20 years? The entire Mezzanine album still sounds like it could have been released today.
LampwicksCigar Albums like this don't get released anymore unfortunately.
@@arpadrosta8006 great albums like this are always being released, it's just not in the mainstream
No. It was released in 2114
Too good to be released today to be honest.
Exacto. es a temporal este disco.
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.
Who the hell says 90s music sucks?!
@@sundigest1121 people who only listen to modern music
@@sundigest1121 literally no one
@@classicpinball9873 So people who have never gone on a different radio other than Capital in their life? :P
@@xander1052 Im not from the UK but i guess that works too
I am 71 and still groove to old and new music. Angel with my Bose on takes the stress away.
Respect Sir…..!
old is the new young - i am 60 in october and it was all punks mods and NWOBHM when i was a kid and massive attack make maybe the best music i have ever heard
Keep on rockin on eat good food and drink wine and enjoy the fresh air till thw very end.
i love you.
I’m playing this song at a bar in Chicago and some folks are mesmerized and enjoying the beats. The conversations and fascinations have been created!!
20 years after, i still think this song is sent from the future. this sound is unique.
This song was played at the funeral of a colleague of mine in 2008, still gives me the shivers. beautiful and impressive.
Mezzanine has to be one the best produced albums of all time, if not the best.
Where is music like this now that builds slowly and gets inside your heart, mind & soul?
You are my angel

If you're still listening to this masterpiece, you have a good taste in music. 💞👌😊👍
If you're still copy and pasting comments, you're pretty boring.
It's timeless❤️
Just discovered it today
La bailo en el Table...
@@normiisoliiz8579 una vez leí esa pregunta de que canción bailarias en el table e inmediatamente se me vino a la mente esta canción pero nomas no se me ocurre una coreografía pero definitivamente esta haha
I have a little vault in my heart dedicated to "best songs ever", and this has been in it for many many years. I can't begin to describe how much I love this masterpiece.
I'm 42 n massive attack played a massive part in my life growing up n this is just takin me right back to the good days
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
Same!!!
It's latin....*ad nauseum* 😫🤢
0:33 the amount of goosebumps this part gave me holy shttttttttttt
0: 0:30 0: 0:30
2021. and it still gives me chills.
One of the greatest artists of all time.
Thank you, MA.
One of the most tense, moody tracks ever.
Beautiful.
Hearing this album for the first time back in the 90s was wicked!
This is the song and video that I need to show my daughter to prepare her for what she needs to know about life. I wish it had been made when I was her age.

@@lisahenry1560 Let's say everyone's got good thoughts and bad thoughts, experiences we make, that echo through our minds the rest of our lives.
Everything we do is connected, if ever so slightly. Some experiences just make us who we are, others need to be put in their place lest they overwhelm us.
This album is perfection.

One of greatest songs and mvs in history. Period.
This ambient. These vibes. Unique.

Wait same I just realized there was a music video to it. I'm obsessed with this song man
I don’t think there’s anything like this band. Brilliant unique 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
Pff! Yeah, nice quote.
I personally don't see what everyone's fascination with Hunter S. Thompson, though.
He was nothing but a drunkard & a druggie.

Absolute masterpiece. Hypnotic Cold Groove. A song come from way above...
Couldnt have described it better
Eine perfekte auf Schichtung von Klängen. Jede Tonspur, jedes Instrument, jeder Klang perfekt aufeinander abgestimmt. I Love it❤❤❤❤
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 wish other trip hop songs were more like this too. Not that they aren't as good, but this has a certain flavor to it that makes it so unique. I absolutely love it.
I heard it on Burn Notice s7e6, came here to hear the full song, really great sound, I'm in my 60s. Now I have to hear more by these guys.
Morcheeba: howling, hooverphonics: strickly out of phase, garbage : struck of luck, Tricky: overcome(this one)... There is plenty of trip hop band but like everything good it's not having the favor of mainstream media.
@@brianlugo5995 The bass and the vocals go soo well in this one, that is that certain flavor for me.
Makes it onto the playlist of 14 year olds. Luckily I have cool parents
If you run from your fears, they grow.. but if you face your fears you grow
Uma música incrível, construída com toda a minuciosidade de uma obra prima, o baixo distorcido aos poucos ganhando sua presença no som, a percussão e principalmente; o vocal da música, fazem dessa música uma obra prima.
O álbum Mezzanine por inteiro é uma obra de arte atemporal. Massive Attack é uma banda incrível, e o gênero trip-hop foi de longe uma das melhores coisas que surgiram dentre todas as ramificações musicais dos anos 90.
Concordo muito. Sorte de quem, como eu, viveu nessa epoca
Holy moly where has this been all my life
It's like in a dream. If somebody is chasing you, try to stop, turn around and go right at them. And you'll become the one who are they running from. Works every time.
Absolutely incredible track. A timeless masterpiece
Face your demons. Face your fears. The more you run, the more will come. Turn around... make them... run from you.
or for you..
Wise and true

R Sergent I feel like there is a more scary realization to this. Also a more deeper meaning as well
I sure was wondering lollll thanks
This video broke me down and built me up!! We run away fromthings our whole lives thinking they are against us, when truly they only want to help us grow and make us see
Trip hop is Mysterious, Atmospheric, it opens my immagination. Very good
Fabio Figliolia very good indeed

Thank me later.
I listen to this while I jerk off. Slow strokes.
And it's darker than Marylin Mansons music
@@Mateo-nz1xl without even trying
im so glad I found this genre of music.... I feel like im finding myself through them
You'll enjoy my channel massive attack inspire some of my creations as well as bt vnv nation, eiffel 65,armin van buren, gareth emery as well as rock metal
its been 2 months. have you found yourself yet?
Making video clips with meaning is seriously underrated these days.

One of a kind music video. It shows how life can change gears at any MOMENT...!!!
Great to see new people enjoying this fantastic music act. Been a fan since 1991 (yeah I'm that old) :)
Saw them supporting Radiohead in dublin years ago, stole the show. The only band that comes close to the prodigy
you're in good company
You’re one of the smart ones. I knew I came across something when I heard them first in snatch 10 years ago
U still alive?
I just found this song this week. I was shocked to find out they are a 90's band... they are awesome
It'll never go out of style, always a banger
I was 17 and was listening to this, I am 40 and still listening to this song having the same feelings... ❤
Haha same
Gonna be 42 soon and still can't get enough of this song
Same bro,
I'm 17 listening to this now! 😊
@@kingmany1h
The feeling this music gives me, is the same as real love ❤
The undulating, vibrating in the background and the lazy vocals do exactly that for me. Like heavy and cumbersome, like a sickness. Love is a sickness.
@@simonjj7397 deeply sickness that is eating you up, I agree
