I have a very intimate memory connected to this song. My girlfriend was out of town so I decided to surprise her by waiting behind her house and when she came back, texting her to look outside. Because that's what she always dreamed about (at least she claims that). I remember arriving 2 hours earlier, so I bought a pack of cancers (NADSAT, haha), went for a walk to the other town and couldn't stop listening to this song. I'm glad I've associated this song with such beautiful memory, really a masterpiece to guide you through nostralgic days. For those who care, she opened her window, saw me, burst into tears, closed the window and then kept silently watching me while I was freezing in the rain at 2 AM. Ended up sleeping in the car and then taking her to my place in the morning. Unforgetable..
I love this song -- my favorite off of Heligoland (and possibly one of my favorite songs of the past 10 years or so). To me, the repetition makes for a hypnotic sensation. I get a feeling of claustrophobia, almost like I'm listening to something that I shouldn't be listening to, if you catch what I mean. It's hard to say what this song does to me, but it manages to dredge up emotions that few songs can -- and that makes it irreplaceable to me.
Massive Attack videos are always friggin amazing. I thought the song was awesome enough, but watching the video with the song is another thing......magnificent.
OMG i just LOVE it - its getting colder outside, your rented space, they shadowbox, and they paperchase. It never stops and will never leard...... Massive piece of lyrical and musical art form Massiveattack
Just saw them last night at MoogFest...... Absolutely amazing. Stunning performance, great light set, overall show was just breath taking. They're bloody brilliant.
after Teardrop,this is my 2nd favorite...amaizng song and text...bravo raggazzi...hope to see u again soon in italy in a concert,the one of 2008 was awsome,i enjoyed so much
The first time i heard this song, my friend showed it to me and we were baked out of our minds. It was the most memorable experience I've ever had while high.
MA IS BACK !!! Twill take some time for some fans to like this (some may naver...) but there's undoubtfully sth in this song... The video is impressive, and this time MA is totally absent from the scene... not even a human in sight... a cold, material video... but rather crafty !!! Well done again, the massives !!!
aaaaaaa ... toujours tellement classieux .. tant pis pour ceux qui ne sont pas sensibles à l'art si fin de MA .. moi j'me roule dedans et j'aime tellement ça !!!
Thom Yorke had this on his website for the shizzy he's listening to. THIS SONG IS AWESOME!!! Massive Attack thank you for the music love. Musicometro you have good taste
So I heard their song Paradise Circus on the way back home from Vegas. I really liked it and looked into their other stuff... Damn are they good. I can study to this all day long.
this is what i call modern art! music, lyrics, video, everything... i like the part when they say "it's easy, don't let it go" because the way they say it makes you do otherwise.
@L3n01r YEEEEEEESS!! Thanks you thank you, can't describe how thankful I am. I wish everything good for you. I don't know why I thought on Massive attack, I have a crazy taste for music, I think I saw the two videos same day! Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!
The bed it was warm Nettles and ferns The evening it chokes The candle it burns This disguise covers Bitter lies Repeating the joke The meaning it dies Pass me your coat I'm not afraid to leave I'm letting you know I know what you need I'll turn you around This beautiful town And then you'll believe When your eyes they deceive you It's easy, don't let it go Don't lose it It's getting colder outside Your rented space They shadow box And they paper chase It never stops No hope without dope
The baby was born Nettles and Ferns The evening it chokes The candle it burns This disguise covers Bitter lies Repeating the joke The meaning it dies Pass me a coat I'm not a- 'fraid to leave I'm letting you know I know what you need I'll turn you around This beautiful town And then you'll believe it when your eyes then deceive you
@visceralegend I think the theme of the video is violence and where it comes from. The beast isnt a real animal, but instead a way of thinking about conflict itself. The beast is Conflict and Violence: it is both vulnerability (it has horrible wounds, it is rabbit-like, we're trying to kill it) and violence (it is thrashing, destroying the city, it is a lion, it is bigger than all of us). The glow in its eyes is also in the person (or Death) in the last shot; our fear of death drives the Beast.
HOLY F**K! I saw this video a few months back but wasnt on the right computer to find download it. Ive searched all day for this, Im so glad I finally did. I can sleep!
such a sexy video. the mood matches the imagery, the pace matches the progression, and the title reflects what happens at the end. Kah BOOOM. (for the dumb ppl, this is youtube, an atom splitting is an atomic explosion)
@ChFriedli ive listened to Massive since blue lines& believe me when i say it,they sound a 100 times better when your on a one & you really really get transported somewhere you've never been.
holllllyyyy shiiiitttt.... im trippin right now, and i was so entranced yet on the edge of my seat the whole way, mannn.... i cant even begin to describe O_O

Legend
I know I'm 2 years late but I just wanted to let you know that you're my boi for doing that 👌
Came here from the groove thread?
So what u up to now?
This is sort of a long shot, I see you don't reply anymore, but I'm curious what came out of the relationship. Thanks anyway, take care.
I love Massive Attack since 1998, when the Mezzanine comes to me and blow up my ears and my brain. The Trip Hop is some kind of magic

Takes my breath away. They are so atmospheric. Incredible and so talented.

I was blown away first time I saw the video! Now I can't stop watching it! FANTASTIC!
5 years looking for that fucking song and finally I find it

Quite addicted to the song, and the video is just plain awesome. It sends shivers down my spine ...
Massive Attack videos are always friggin amazing. I thought the song was awesome enough, but watching the video with the song is another thing......magnificent.
Holy moley! I KNEW I had heard that voice before! I love the Gorillaz! and Massive Attack!
The video really suits the music. Genius!!!
OMG i just LOVE it - its getting colder outside, your rented space, they shadowbox, and they paperchase. It never stops and will never leard......
Massive piece of lyrical and musical art form Massiveattack
Thumbs up, if Fifa 11 brought you here.

Just saw them last night at MoogFest...... Absolutely amazing. Stunning performance, great light set, overall show was just breath taking. They're bloody brilliant.
Simplemente espectacular ¡¡¡¡¡ es para verlo y escucharlo una y otra vez me encanta .....

The visuals here are simply incredible! Its another one that goes in a single take too! Massive!
This is one of my fav soundtracks.
very cool... this is on a totally different level then almost anything I've seen.
Massive Attack videos have always been impressive, the directors are definitely the best ones in music industry.
I'm here because i've been listening to Massive Attack since 1993 and their song Sly caught my attention
Best music! I still listenning in 2013

love love love this song
This video is just amazing, as is the song.
Luck brought me here, what a great show, one of the best intros ever. I always loved Massive Attack but didnt know this song was theirs.
I didn't know this song before luck, but now I really like it. I don't see how people have an issue with how you come across music -.-
I personally love this song, and love nearly all of MA's work.
Thom Yorke had this on his website for the shizzy he's listening to.
THIS SONG IS AWESOME!!!
Massive Attack thank you for the music love.
Musicometro you have good taste
Quite addicted to the song, and AWESOME video.
unbelievable video clip and great music!
this song is ridiculously eerie
muito bom,criatividade e ousadia !
Muito bom esse video e a musica também, gosto muito de Massive Attack
So I heard their song Paradise Circus on the way back home from Vegas. I really liked it and looked into their other stuff... Damn are they good. I can study to this all day long.
I really wish people would stop trying to dictate what's relevant and what's not. Relevance is individual.
this sound is perfect..
this is what i call modern art! music, lyrics, video, everything... i like the part when they say "it's easy, don't let it go" because the way they say it makes you do otherwise.
Awesome massive attack. Thanks, Thom for recommending
The best music video i've ever seen. :)
My absolute favourite of the new album!

@L3n01r YEEEEEEESS!! Thanks you thank you, can't describe how thankful I am. I wish everything good for you. I don't know why I thought on Massive attack, I have a crazy taste for music, I think I saw the two videos same day! Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!
The bed it was warm
Nettles and ferns
The evening it chokes
The candle it burns
This disguise covers
Bitter lies
Repeating the joke
The meaning it dies
Pass me your coat
I'm not afraid to leave
I'm letting you know
I know what you need
I'll turn you around
This beautiful town
And then you'll believe
When your eyes they deceive you
It's easy, don't let it go
Don't lose it
It's getting colder outside
Your rented space
They shadow box
And they paper chase
It never stops
No hope without dope
The baby was born
Nettles and Ferns
The evening it chokes
The candle it burns
This disguise covers
Bitter lies
Repeating the joke
The meaning it dies
Pass me a coat I'm not a-
'fraid to leave
I'm letting you know
I know what you need
I'll turn you around
This beautiful town
And then you'll believe it when your eyes then deceive you
Fantastically cool video and great song!
Thank you Thom!
this video is incredicly brilliant!
Best show on tv!
I feel cool when I listen to this...
I do hope they saved the 3D model for this. Even if you'd remove all the flying debris, this would make a lovely sculpture when 3D-printed.
+Mahj Good idea
Laser etched in glass
Great film clip!
This music video is a masterpiece
i love this song ^^
Great video and great song!
Indeed, thank you, Thom
WOW amazing videoclip!!!

Thank you Thom....
HOLY F**K! I saw this video a few months back but wasnt on the right computer to find download it. Ive searched all day for this, Im so glad I finally did. I can sleep!
All hail Massive Attack and their greatness. :]
This song and video is SO BADASS!!!! DAMN!!!
Heligoland is a masterpiece. As the rest of the works from MA. Listen carefully to all the sounds in their new album. That is contemporary future.
Amazing song.....
I felt like I was on a rollercoaster watching this video.... A scary and amazing one
looks like the beginning of the end. Very cool track :)
I kept losing my train of thought during this song. But when I was thinking, it was all cool awesome and mind controling. 8D! Me gusta Massive Attack!
this vid is a masterpiece
This new album is terrific
such a sexy video. the mood matches the imagery, the pace matches the progression, and the title reflects what happens at the end. Kah BOOOM.
(for the dumb ppl, this is youtube, an atom splitting is an atomic explosion)
no hope without dope. instant classic.
@ChFriedli ive listened to Massive since blue lines& believe me when i say it,they sound a 100 times better when your on a one & you really really get transported somewhere you've never been.
Massive Attack fan since 1998
I love how we all heard this from Thom.
Sweet mother of slippery gypsy's that's an excellent video. Wish it was in HD but...
yeah! let's have a nice trip!
i watched this 1st time on acid and i still have no words!! superb!
muy buena cancion, muy buenos poemas. reales
that substance takes me everywhere
NUESTRA SANGRE ES DE ORO, NO HAY NADA QUE TEMER
holllllyyyy shiiiitttt.... im trippin right now, and i was so entranced yet on the edge of my seat the whole way, mannn.... i cant even begin to describe O_O
sounds like something that should be in a superhero movie....batman!
love this song so chill
The very beginning was causing some weird deja vu...
Then I realized it sounded like the creepy music in Perfect Blue.
