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!
"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."
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
o tym utworze mozna wypowiadac się tylko i wyłącznie w samych superlatywach... jest genialny i doskonały.. wzrusza, hipnotyzuje, uzależnia, przywołuje wspomnienia GORGEOUS!!!
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.
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.
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.
No hay comparacion. Este nivel de soul, sadness y darkness no lo tienen muchos... Billie elish es distinta porque es como rebelion de una teenager, pero Tricky esta en otro nivel, porque el tenia experiencia de vida y una madurez distinta.
@@kdmiranda por que tritcky creo y mato su propio genero es un genio y el rap experiemtnal nunca logro asi por mas de 30 años , con tricky massive attack y martina
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.
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 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 was one of his best song when he was serious about his art before he decided to be a punk singer with a pub band . but yes he was in a class of his own in fact he was the most talented uk artist producer with his girlfriend martina 10 years ago
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
God I love Tricky, he's so unusually sensitive and paranoid.
Underrated 😂
"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."
"We were a pair of believers
A couple of dreamers"
So touching, I love it.
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"
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.
the best song of the album
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.

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

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
This has to be one of my favourite pieces of music ever.
Arca tweeted this
yes
Tricky! I used to listen to him all the time in the 90's... and I think he's genius. love this.
This song is incredible!
His best song, definitely.
Tricky is one of those special artists who comes once in a lifetime.

a hugely underrated track, why isn't it among his most popular ones?
This song takes me way back on cassette. I'm a believer
RIP Terry. One of my most treasured tracks made more special now but sad 😥
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!!
Arcaaa❤
Being a Knowle Wester I have a strong affinity for Tricky and his art. ❤❤❤
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
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 just love Terry Hall. Simple as that.
best saying of all time for me, im an Aquarian. peace Tricky
o tym utworze mozna wypowiadac się tylko i wyłącznie w samych superlatywach... jest genialny i doskonały.. wzrusza, hipnotyzuje, uzależnia, przywołuje wspomnienia GORGEOUS!!!
Wonderfully refreshing.. lyrically stimulating & just F'n cool!
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.
....a truly one of kind song that stands out amongst the landfill of unoriginal music...
Merci Monsieur Tricky. Merci de toute mon âme.
one of my favourite 90s moments
I've been tricky, massive attack fan for years
Me too, since i was a kid.
amazing song...always so powerful and dreamy,goes so bloody deep,pierces my mind and soul.
tricky rocks saw him live back in the 90's would love to see him again.
"Rinse the origin and cease to be"... #Deep
this tune blows my heart
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.
Masterpiece indeed !
Tricky took music to higher levels
This is awesome. Haven't heard it in years...
always loved this track and video, really chill song and Martina always makes me smile!!
Jesus Belive me!!! what a beautiful song
RIP Terry Hall ❤
R.I.P Terry Hall!
seen in brissol, dark and mystery us, will never forget .you.oh the 90s, love and light ...
this has got to have one of the sickest beats I have ever heard in a trip hop song
he is a god my friend. A poet from another realm.
Like AllFlaws and Saul Williams too
I could listen to this for an eternity.
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.
This goes straight into Top 10 songs of the 90’s
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.
TRICKY's a god.
also Love
MAXI JAZZ, SAUL WILLIAMS and ALLFLAWS.
These dudes are lyrically brilliant.
You promise me poems...
You might have been my reason for livin'
I gave up on givin', gave up everything.... i'm feelin that ;)
cannot stop listening to this.
This could be my favourite thing Tricky's ever done.
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.
Even if i am gay - it doesn`t matter in Tricky`s perfect music. Awesome brilliant.
This song is a masterpiece and so is the video.
Martina can really pull off black lipstick!
I didnt know tricky until yesterday...
the man rocks!!
antes de billie elish , era tricky, martina y massive attack, y todo era mejor y bello en esas epocas
No hay comparacion. Este nivel de soul, sadness y darkness no lo tienen muchos... Billie elish es distinta porque es como rebelion de una teenager, pero Tricky esta en otro nivel, porque el tenia experiencia de vida y una madurez distinta.
@@kdmiranda por que tritcky creo y mato su propio genero es un genio y el rap experiemtnal nunca logro asi por mas de 30 años , con tricky massive attack y martina
Man, getting High to this is one thing, but if you take the CD "Nearly God" & trip & listen to it.... Whole different reality man.
Loved this since it came out, brilliance
it's hard to think of anything that's objectively better than this. the Real britpop....
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
love this - never heard this before.
for this style quite like Massive Attack, Maxi Jazz, Allflaws
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.
Doesn't get more original than this, a very different Terry Hall from the Specials!
deferent lvl of experiencing music, it's almost spiritual, love it about tricky
i love my city. i love this song. and i loooove tricky!!
viva BRIZZZLE jajaja
sublime, great song one of my favorites. enhorabuena tricky! :D
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..
His best song.
For real.
Very euphoric and muggy I love it! Tricky is cool.
listening in 2021
Tricky is soo dope... thanks for the vid... great stuff.. keep posting
i heard the first time the other day think im on 500 something plays ;) so simple but powerful and beautiful.
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.
I love this song, personally.
Remaster this masterpies in Full HD, please!
Such a great, soulful song. Real Tricky
I listen to Tricky when I'm getting High or feeling Demonic.his music is so demonic....
I think is so spiritual, out of this world.
Tricky, Massive, Portis, His Name, ...Great things man!
I love this song.
TRICKY VOGUE this group defines cool to a new level chill on TRICKY.
this was one of his best song when he was serious about his art before he decided to be a punk singer with a pub band . but yes he was in a class of his own in fact he was the most talented uk artist producer with his girlfriend martina 10 years ago
oh I liked this a lot poems.....and me...I'm an old guy too.
Simply beautiful!
It's weird to see Terry Hall in this, but he's awesome.
come on folks! not a million hits yet?
