deep and dark trip hop, yet a unique voice like Bjork, good notice! I never thought of him like that till now. The generation was similar too. Great song.
Who is listening in 2020? Tricky´s Nearly God is my favorite album of all times. Pure piece of poetry and art. Keeps me quiet when i´m restless too.....love it!
First time I heard this song just now.... Came here through a link from a Portishead song ' the Rip' ......which I came across watching BBC drama' Chloe' last night....so lucky to have such amazing culture and talent in the UK when it comes to music and TV. Love the Bristol scene.
Haven't listened to this for years - it's amazing. Reminds me of being 23, I moved from the city to a farm, I'd listen to this over and over alone and in the dark.
Less than 10 years later I worked in a bar in London. Terry Hall would spend hours sat there drinking coke and looking sad. Never occurred to me to tell how much I loved this. Funny ol' world.
"I rue the day that I ever met you, And deeply regret you getting close to me. I cannot wait to deeply neglect you, Deeply forget you, Jesus believe me, You promised me poems."
From the album Nearly God (1996) one of the best songs of all time. It was the nineties of the 20th century, amazing times and Lucy who was a fan of Tricky music so much that she took my album and listened to it many times. RIP Lucy.
I remember watching this video on MTV on alternative nation and I must have been like 15 and it was pretty shocking. Found it very violent and dark and grey. And me being south american, these cloudy british skies were really post apocalyptic for me. Utterly genius. For the record, ive been living in the UK for the last 13 years lol, something must have struck me somehow from these weird scenes.
@@jacquesmesrine8031 I see what you mean, I figured that you meant the vibe but I wanted to be sure. I agree that tone can feel violent too. There is something sinister about it. The same way I feel about all of Mezzanine.
I never heard of Tricky when I was trying Owsley and Orange Sunshine back in the day. But I definitely could have trippeed to this song, for sure. Blessings to all who come here
I listened to that when I was 15 and I was on the bus going to holls in Italy . The bus drove into tunel in Alps... ) and all the lights were dancing with the Tricky beats.. Peramnent brain changes, From then on I knew Im gonna be making electronic music :)
There's this really cool group called Stereolab. I was working at this gas station doing graveyard shift and heard one of their songs on Dots and Loops. Been hooked ever since.
o tym utworze mozna wypowiadac się tylko i wyłącznie w samych superlatywach... jest genialny i doskonały.. wzrusza, hipnotyzuje, uzależnia, przywołuje wspomnienia GORGEOUS!!!
People, explain me plz. Why such an absolute genius as Tricky has so absolutely few views? Other artists whom i adore have millions and billions (Asap Rocky, for instance). Maybe because Tricky doesn't really love being famous and maybe not promotes his songs?
i've read that during the 90's people aren't much into it because gangster rap was all the hype. And even after that the industry never moved closer to him. Unfortunately, i think tricky will be one of these artists that have they work fairly recognized and celebrated after death.
I saw Tricky 2 nights in a row in North Carolina, must have been '98. My friend and I were invited backsage. We chatted, smoked (Tricky rolled my weed with tobacco, as much as I hated tobacco I wasn't missing this chance). My friend was asked to go along with them for the next 3 shows. I've never met such a down to earth performer in my life.
When i was young i wanted to be tricky. I wanted to look like him, sound like him, think like him, write like him. He is absolutely amazing. Shit, i still do really.
one of my favorite songs. when i hear this song i think about the cd cover. i love how it's a little creepy yet alluring at the same time. i would want my music to sound like this.
I couldn't agree less...As a whole album Maxinquaye is magnificent...mostly because of Martina sirenesque singing and trick's simple, yet dreary production. "poems" stands out but Nearly God is nowhere near Maxinquaye.
Hubo un día que me quid quitar la vida y mientras esperaba viendo una preciosa puesta de sol sonaba Poema es decisión propia si lo volviese a hacer sonaría lo mismo con un te caliente . Buena transición gracias Tricky
Broken lovers laughing, crying pianos, dented silence, silver shivering nights. Feathers will never fly again. And still, so still, hungry days are waiting to be born.
why'd you promise me poems?...rinse the origin and cease to be...better yet a question, why did i belive you when you promised me poems? :|fantastic song though, just can't stop listening to it tricky, you deeply please my ears and soul
Tricky : I can vibe to anything Do I have to hide from everything? Everybody wants a piece of me Reach their origin and cease to be Sit back and let it happen, Let us take your time away. I dont understand you. I dont want your time of day. If youre gonna walk, might as well walk your way Always walk the hallways, Forget the punk, I pack the funk. Im gonna take a piece of you. Making money for good health, But first I learn to see myself But first I learn to see myself You promised me poems..
Listening to this masterpiece in memory of Terry Hall, truly missed.
I have loved this song for decades, i'm 30 and I remember the first time I heard it....it was pure Magic!!! Tricky rules!!!
He's my male Bjork :)
They use to date back during pre millennium tension
That's the best association the male Bjork! Brilliant
deep and dark trip hop, yet a unique voice like Bjork, good notice! I never thought of him like that till now. The generation was similar too. Great song.

2024 now. Don't worry. I won't tell you what happens.
Still a masterpiece in 2019.
*forever
Still in 2021
Always a masterpiece. Timeless. A perfect combination of voices. Breathtaking.
That song always makes me sad, but the good kind of sadness, the one tainted with melancholy and peace
"We were a pair of believers
A couple of dreamers"
So touching, I love it.
God I love Tricky, he's so unusually sensitive and paranoid.
Underrated 😂
First time I heard this song just now.... Came here through a link from a Portishead song ' the Rip' ......which I came across watching BBC drama' Chloe' last night....so lucky to have such amazing culture and talent in the UK when it comes to music and TV. Love the Bristol scene.
the best song of the album
This is actually one of the greatest tracks of modern music!
love sometimes disappears
It honestly is. The more time that passes, the more sure of it I am.
Haven't listened to this for years - it's amazing. Reminds me of being 23, I moved from the city to a farm, I'd listen to this over and over alone and in the dark.

Violent how???
@@bluefilmsltd just the vibe mate. Violence doesn't have to be graphic all the time you know? Again, I was 15. I found it very unsettling
@@jacquesmesrine8031 I see what you mean, I figured that you meant the vibe but I wanted to be sure. I agree that tone can feel violent too. There is something sinister about it. The same way I feel about all of Mezzanine.
By the way, do you happen to know of the device that he is using at the beginning in the elevator? The thing with his mouth?@@jacquesmesrine8031
This has to be one of my favourite pieces of music ever.
I keep coming back to this song!! Wow, his BEST song ever...Love Tricky!
This song is great for a good high :D
I never heard of Tricky when I was trying Owsley and Orange Sunshine back in the day. But I definitely could have trippeed to this song, for sure. Blessings to all who come here
I love this song and so glad I decided to look through his discography after listening to Maxinquaye. I wish this album was on streaming services!!!
You can always rip it :D
it is in streaming but under the alias "Nearly God" because the label wouldn't realized 2 albums in the same year with the name "Tricky"
Tricky is one of those special artists who comes once in a lifetime.
This song is incredible!
His best song, definitely.
This song takes me way back on cassette. I'm a believer
Tricky! I used to listen to him all the time in the 90's... and I think he's genius. love this.
Freakin love this song. I hope nobody samples this beat
+Chante Jackson If you like it check out Tricky - Peyote Sings. Similar song. :)
This made me cry! And I'm 40! Stunning!!
I listened to that when I was 15 and I was on the bus going to holls in Italy . The bus drove into tunel in Alps... ) and all the lights were dancing with the Tricky beats.. Peramnent brain changes, From then on I knew Im gonna be making electronic music :)
There's this really cool group called Stereolab. I was working at this gas station doing graveyard shift and heard one of their songs on Dots and Loops. Been hooked ever since.
a hugely underrated track, why isn't it among his most popular ones?
Terry Hall & Martina Topley Bird make it a great song to listen to!! LOVE it. "how come you hate me?"
No one writes them better than Tricky. NO ONE!!!!!
this was my come down music for years and years
RIP Terry. One of my most treasured tracks made more special now but sad 😥
I just love Terry Hall. Simple as that.
....a truly one of kind song that stands out amongst the landfill of unoriginal music...
o tym utworze mozna wypowiadac się tylko i wyłącznie w samych superlatywach... jest genialny i doskonały.. wzrusza, hipnotyzuje, uzależnia, przywołuje wspomnienia GORGEOUS!!!
he is a god my friend. A poet from another realm.
Like AllFlaws and Saul Williams too
People, explain me plz. Why such an absolute genius as Tricky has so absolutely few views? Other artists whom i adore have millions and billions (Asap Rocky, for instance). Maybe because Tricky doesn't really love being famous and maybe not promotes his songs?
i've read that during the 90's people aren't much into it because gangster rap was all the hype. And even after that the industry never moved closer to him. Unfortunately, i think tricky will be one of these artists that have they work fairly recognized and celebrated after death.
When ever I hear this song I feel like it brings me back to a diffrent time, but this time is not happy nor sad.
Wonderfully refreshing.. lyrically stimulating & just F'n cool!
best saying of all time for me, im an Aquarian. peace Tricky
I saw Tricky 2 nights in a row in North Carolina, must have been '98. My friend and I were invited backsage. We chatted, smoked (Tricky rolled my weed with tobacco, as much as I hated tobacco I wasn't missing this chance). My friend was asked to go along with them for the next 3 shows. I've never met such a down to earth performer in my life.
Being a Knowle Wester I have a strong affinity for Tricky and his art. ❤❤❤
amazing song...always so powerful and dreamy,goes so bloody deep,pierces my mind and soul.
I've been tricky, massive attack fan for years
Me too, since i was a kid.
tricky rocks saw him live back in the 90's would love to see him again.
Merci Monsieur Tricky. Merci de toute mon âme.
@ATBisthebest1 wow, way to bring the exchange back to jr. high. It's cool. That's where your musical tastes stopped anyway.
Masterpiece indeed !
Tricky took music to higher levels
I didnt know tricky until yesterday...
the man rocks!!
this has got to have one of the sickest beats I have ever heard in a trip hop song
always loved this track and video, really chill song and Martina always makes me smile!!
"Rinse the origin and cease to be"... #Deep
This is awesome. Haven't heard it in years...
one of my favourite 90s moments
When i was young i wanted to be tricky. I wanted to look like him, sound like him, think like him, write like him. He is absolutely amazing. Shit, i still do really.
one of my favorite songs. when i hear this song i think about the cd cover. i love how it's a little creepy yet alluring at the same time. i would want my music to sound like this.
Arcaaa❤
this tune blows my heart
wow. this is beautiful. the video goes so well with the music. and the song can be interpreted in so many different ways. this is what art is about.
This song is a masterpiece and so is the video.
Martina can really pull off black lipstick!
Even if i am gay - it doesn`t matter in Tricky`s perfect music. Awesome brilliant.
I could listen to this for an eternity.
love this - never heard this before.
for this style quite like Massive Attack, Maxi Jazz, Allflaws
Jesus Belive me!!! what a beautiful song
TRICKY's a god.
also Love
MAXI JAZZ, SAUL WILLIAMS and ALLFLAWS.
These dudes are lyrically brilliant.
Man, getting High to this is one thing, but if you take the CD "Nearly God" & trip & listen to it.... Whole different reality man.
I couldn't agree less...As a whole album Maxinquaye is magnificent...mostly because of Martina sirenesque singing and trick's simple, yet dreary production. "poems" stands out but Nearly God is nowhere near Maxinquaye.
This could be my favourite thing Tricky's ever done.
You might have been my reason for livin'
I gave up on givin', gave up everything.... i'm feelin that ;)
Doesn't get more original than this, a very different Terry Hall from the Specials!
it's hard to think of anything that's objectively better than this. the Real britpop....
seen in brissol, dark and mystery us, will never forget .you.oh the 90s, love and light ...
Arca tweeted this

Hubo un día que me quid quitar la vida y mientras esperaba viendo una preciosa puesta de sol sonaba Poema es decisión propia si lo volviese a hacer sonaría lo mismo con un te caliente .

Feathers will never fly

waiting to be born.

@janotosinnumeros Terry Hall. He's also on the track 'Bubbles' from the same album.
Such a great, soulful song. Real Tricky
Remaster this masterpies in Full HD, please!
The messiah... Tricky saved my life
Tricky :
I can vibe to anything
Do I have to hide from everything?
Everybody wants a piece of me
Reach their origin and cease to be
Sit back and let it happen,
Let us take your time away.
I dont understand you.
I dont want your time of day.
If youre gonna walk, might as well walk your way
Always walk the hallways,
Forget the punk, I pack the funk.
Im gonna take a piece of you.
Making money for good health,
But first I learn to see myself
But first I learn to see myself
You promised me poems..
i love this song, but let me warn you it wont make you feel better if you're feelin like shit :/ yet i still listen to it, over and OVER...
I love this song, personally.
