This song has quite a strange history. They wanted to call it 'glory hole' at the beginning. They saw it fitter. However, it seems that one of the band members had had a pornographic career for 4 years (after which he redeemed himself) and he was aware that the phrase was not what they were looking for. It's a strange story :) It does connect with the lyrics, however: "For I've been a temptress too long". It's concomitantly funny and strange, isn't it?:)
if you like portishead, i think that you are going to like 2 guys... they ware from brasil... he's name was Cazuza! He had AIDS (HIV) and he died... her name was Cassia Eller... She was a lesbian and died too...
The song that made me post this comment: todo amor que houver nessa vida
The translation is easy, if you want i can translate it for you!
It's very similar, but as a matter of fact Portishead sampled from Isaac Hayes. But you have really good ears my friend. And thank you for Python Lee Jackson, never heard of him but now I do because of you.
Ahh yes! Well done you. It's been bugging me for ages - wondering where I'd heard that tune before.
It is similar, I agree. Rod Stewart's {PLJ} recording of 'In a Broken Dream' if I remember right, was back in 1972...wow! Thanks so much Stillavril, and thank YOU > Soundchacer for this recording. Excellent choice, so sultry, heartfelt & full of emotion.
You´re welcome nikole...Well, Glory box has the same descending chord sequence as While my guitar gently weeps, and dozens of other songs. Of? course this doesn´t make it any less unique and special, and great !
tjis song motivated me to loose 40 pounds and keep my women happy and with me I was get chunky and not loving my lady this song changed my and my girl life too we both melt inside each other when we hear this song mean my happyness I know it sounds crazy but it changed me for ever life is short and we should be at our healtiest and love our close one mad love for all I love this song this band man waow
fell asleep many a time with this blaring on the headphones and a joint in my hand lolz
