It's A Fire - Portishead

[marcucuarcu2000]

what happened?

[Hibitann]

I'm not sure why you're thanking the viewers of this video you've made. We're here for the song.

[Quezillacolt45]

@Hibitann Because some of them appreciate the video too, and i'm thankful. You don't speak for everyone. Now, get lost, douchebag. K, thanks, bye.

[sexibeoch13]

@Quezillacolt45 YOU JUST WON THE INTERWEBS THANKYOU

[oBARFLYo]

Be great if I could watch it on my mobile. Probably a copyright issue though.

[fbtpassos]

awesome vid°°°°°

[EmanEzone]

Great job... I like it a lot! Regards e ;)

[MaxRideWizardLord]

they are japan?

[Wubslin]

45 wankers have no taste in music. Nice vid too btw.

[catvampcraze]

Nice vidding. It goes with the feeling of this song... a warm hug from someone who understands.

[TheWithno]

bros just getting started making chill tunes could use some help, heres my soundcloud soundcloud(.)com/niteshiftmusi­c

[itsDylanTV]

is there a clip from the movie the dark crystal in this song?

[Arnabomi]

I M IN LOVE WITH TRIP HOP...........:P:P

[RushindanoDensetsu]

I've had a few friends say I sound like her when I sing. I say, BULLSHIT. Gah, her voice is amazing, and only in my dreams could I receive such a gift! =) So calm, yet so strong.

[SadMarquiz2]

@RushindanoDensetsu

I don't know if you 've got the same voice , but for me , it's the first time I enjoy it so much!!

sorry for the fans , but she always seems whimpering....

c'est agaçant

[RushindanoDensetsu]

@SadMarquiz2 Well, to each his own. =P Haha. She's one of the few female singers I can listen to, because she doesn't whine like so many others. X.X In my opinion, anyway..

[fluiteenlied]

all of their songs makes you long. long for more longing for the abcence of the end

[karelzich]

easily one of their very best songs

[spikydemon86]

This song actually saved my life once. Breathe on, little sister, breathe on.

[Silverbirch4444]

I always thought that this was their best track.

Absolutley loved it and yet it was tucked away on a b-side on one of their singles off the 'Dummy' album. Scandalous!!!!

[sweetstrowberry1]

Poland love Portishead <3.

[bustsomecaps]

so so so so awesome, so much emotions in this song.

[TheMayozverenzuela]

lo mejor que ha pasado en la música en muchos años!!

[todosjuntos11]

very nice video,bravo

[meggysound]

Great. Maybe you should listen to NUCLEODAMA.

[PelirrojaPri]

"... so breathe on, sister, breathe on..."

[kireal]

check this watch?v=33A8FcT-zaQ



[paduaprs]

great version, congratulations

[SmokyMorning]

one of their best songs... love this.

[Husky1541]

Beautiful song. It's definitely my favourite from Dummy.

[PetShopMod]

This album is criminally underrated, just like the group.

[Bhuja333]

@PetShopMod

It's not criminally underrated idiot. It was hugely successful.

[Itheil]

For some reason, the very beginning of this song before the singing reminds me of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl.

[manco82]

Is there no live performance of this song?

[manco82]

The Hammong B-3 really elevates this song to another level.

[ammayoga]

43 people aren't breathing

[innersilent]

goodbye dear - I'll never hear a portishead song without thinking about you. ¥

[Kiya4ever]

Probably my favorite <3

[kishkivin]

México :D

[185479623]

Make me feel uncomfortably happy...

[karelzich]

one of their greatest song imo. the melody is superb and that last "breathe on, sister" is special

[KoiChannel]

portishead fans should look up "while the city sleeps - rooftop dreamers", not quite trip hop, but trip rock!

[quotesondesign]

It reminds me of Adrienne Rich for some reason,

[MrGregandMolly]

I remeber hearing this for the first time, Nothing melts your heart like a love leaving reduecing you to tears, and knowing that never in the history of eternity are you ever going to earn an oscar - and be admired by your peers

[crhymes104]

nice video

[radiogreenblue]

looking for something new? check out this unique acoustic * instrumental * trio formed in mid 2008. gaining fans in sweden, germany, italy and the u.s.; search Youtube for "Honey Jarz"

[MrCatbuttgum]

Internet.... almost 1 million people watching your homeworks... and enjoying them!!

[wednesday55]

@MrCatbuttgum Including me! Thank you for doing a good job on your homework!

[ikaotika]

Breathe on.

[shergold]

Also an extra track on my 'Sour Times' cd single. Love the bass on this, so smooth, really carries this beautiful song

[MrSunchaser]

Its a fire These dreams they pass me by This salvation I desire Keeps getting me down Cos we need to Recognise mistakes For time and again So let it be known for what we believe in I can see no reason for it to fail.... ... Cos this life is a farce I can't breathe through this mask Like a fool So breathe on, sister breathe on [INSTRUMENTAL] From this oneself Testify or tell //////////////////////////////­///////

[Bhuja333]

@MrSunchaser

Wow, you quoted the lyrics. Uber poignant.

[pkristen100]

Thank you who ever allowed this on the Australian release of "Dummy" a classic. and thanks Quezillacolt45 for the post, I lost this CD years back

[steakhip]

i can't understand how it is possible to delete bad news for a moment like do Portishead... feeling so good hearing this song...

[vascaina1983]

'Cause we need to, Recognize mistakes, For time and again. So let it be known, For what we believe in, I can see no reason, For it to fail. 'Cause this life is a farce, I can't breathe through this mask, Like a fool, So breathe on, sister, breathe on. From this oneself, Testify or tell, It's fooling us now, So let it be known, For what we believe in, I can see no reason, For it to fail.

[leafmould101]

Wow - long time Portishead fan, but I've never heard this song before. It is really something special!

[hmmmMTHELovecatsssss]

Beautiful vid, for a beautiful song

[jbharuch]

Had a good friend who saved my bacon when I was surely lost. Last name Jenkins, from Alaska, his family. He recommended y'all above all.

[punkaholicmember]

this song makes me dizzy, it gives me a certain feeling i can't describe

[evy10035067]

@hijyuchi あなたは歓迎されています

[nirconn]

Is this a b-side or what???

[Quezillacolt45]

@nirconn It is on the North American release of "Dummy". I believe that it was not on the European verison of the album.

[nirconn]

@Quezillacolt45

I'm from israel...make sence.great track though

[symbiosisrealm]

@Quezillacolt45 Strange... every copy of Dummy I saw here in Italy, including mine, features this (great!) track

[jamesdrys]

@Quezillacolt45 also the Australian edit. The best portishead song ever!

[baco82]

@Quezillacolt45 True. I think it was really a big shame to cut it off the EU version. It's such a beautiful song...

[eltigro]

@nirconn In the UK it was a b-side to Sour Times

[soisic93]

[mboboo]

Nice!

[hachiman2012]

nice video, thanks

[LuisCArenas]

Goddammit Beth Gibbons, stop seducing my ears!

Wait. No. Don't stop. Please.

[slaradelcid]

The most amazing song ever!!!! Does anyone know if this song has an actual video i mean an official video?

[Softie25]

omg love this song

[KlausAuf]

EPIC!!!!!

[Edwiness]

She sounds like Kate Bush (a la The Sensual World) in this one.

[gorgebiaboon]

i wonder, who the farce are those 36 vs 1060 A of holes who disliked this amazing song, i mean, if u dislike portishead, may god's just dis u, not even dislike

[turbodub501]

the 35 dislikes on this song were done as a joke.

[gorgebiaboon]

@turbodub501

or the usual morons & attention hungry F**Ktards that we all just see in every scene of life from music to murders to politics to sports...

[Alaangb]

like I EXPECT! this song is amazing!! I LOVE YOU PORTISHEAD!! ♥

[CreatureofMasquerade]

nice video. it reminds me of another song though, can't help it --> listen to "slide" by "the dresden dolls". read the lyrics and you'll get me. 5/5!

[MizzHelena]

another addition to the PL.. love it :)

[Lechekoopa]

This is the best video! I really enjoy this video for this song. Each was made for the other, I believe. Man, I love you Beth Gibbons!

[jbmtiaccount]

super

[miszpowderpuff]

beatiful song, i love it :) portishead's voice is beautiful. like silence with a noice

[royalnash]

this is album is actually not a whole lot better than there new albums. this was the first portishead record before them trip hop was nothing they brought this sound to the mainstream

[royalnash]

this is one of the few songs off the album i didnt feel to much it takes away from the darkness of the album and belongs in church

[EliskaLikesSKA]

your work on this vid is really good :-)

[heavenelder]

I love the song and your video, I think you're a beautiful person, for your experiences. Thanks for the song. It's nice.

[Quezillacolt45]

@heavenelder thank you very much

[dinushka1]

[slyme1711]

[eyesaw77]

Love this song, the video's well put together, but it doesn't gel.

Too literal: Lyrics "It's a fire" - cue shot of fire etc...

[highscoremusic]

If you like this sound, you'll love "The Low Shoe Orchestra".

Bored of earth? Come to space.

(youtube & iTunes)

[davisbeck89]

in the lips D

[pozzi0]

wonderful song and awesome video..

[Lucheefly]

Love this

[parabola1022]

her voice makes my stomach uneasy, hard to explain, and I cannot stop listening to it, been several years now and I never go more than a few days without listening to Portishead

[summerlink]

that's a heavenly feeling. Finding the music that makes you vibrate uncontrollably and meaningly.

[lionavids]

@parabola1022 totally same some of my frends r tired of it

[Seonal]

this is my favourite portishead song of all time, the hammond organ they use just lifts the song to a whole new ethereal level. also, I feel this song is about female liberation, perhaps in the vein of the feminist movement? I do not know, just guessing

[TheWaynelds]

i agree about the hammond organ. i wish i could play this song.

[THENEWblueape]

Great Video

U'll get 1mio. views :)

[griffinssoul]

...I walk through the fire and it freezes me...

[Thakxssillia]

Great video! Great song too, one of the best I know. If you havent graduated art acad, I don't know what you must do to do just that......

[youknowsah]

I just love this video.

[JackGun7]

nice job cowboy

[phunkjunkie68]

great work !

[SalfordWill]

Amazing vid! well done, throughly enjoyed watching it

[rodhamkatis]

Really enjoyed this. Good work, thanks for posting.

[elminster6666]

FAN VIDEO whow great work dude greetz m4rcu5 germany

[Quezillacolt45]

for the one whom' i've accidentally removed your comment.. i'm sorry i hit the wrong button. i wanted to reply. You question was, is this a fan made video? Yes, it is.

thanks

[virgilcain]

looks good enough to air on TV

[Quezillacolt45]

thank you so much. I remember I got a 68% note for this project back in college. Just to say art school is shit ;P and they don't know nothing. I have so many views, it's awesome.

[jzelol]

@Quezillacolt45 Any idea what the song is about?

[Quezillacolt45]

The song.. I am not too sure, I think you have to feel it and then it might reaches you considering your own experiences in life. I think it's about the uselessness of going on in life. Well, truly, it sounds like a song about suicide & trying to live on knowing well enough that things won't get better.

The video subject matter is related to that. I prefer not to say what it is about exactly.

I'm sorry, it's something very sensitive to me.

thanks for your question :)

[jzelol]

@Quezillacolt45 you made me interested into what your video is about now :p

[gurufuttlappele]

rape? sry for beeing unsensitive

[nbgtrickster]

@Quezillacolt45

beautiful vid ,why did u even bother to reply to the silly question 'wot d song's bout?' ...

it's a poem...within a music...u made it visible the way u feel it...

and i like it ,i feel it ,i watch this vid from time to time and...

what do i think it's all about...is personal...

cheers mate

[ApoeticVampire]

@Quezillacolt45 "cuz this life is a farse, I can't breathe though/in this mess, like a fool..." I think that sums it up. Maybe a longing for more, a desire for something better..so many things, either way, absolutely beautiful!

[Nabo00o]

@ApoeticVampire

I think she says mask, like, she can't continue to pretend she believes what everybody is supposed believe. So go on, carry your mask, hide behind the lies, but she wants to be free of it and see reality....

I think there are a lot of masks out there, many of which we are supposed to be carrying.

[gorgebiaboon]

@jzelol

portishead has another song in which it says

Did you realize no one can see inside your view

just take what u will my friend & appreciate n enjoy the badass tine

[MIKEDURSTEWITZ]

@Quezillacolt45 Damn, a 68? Seriously, this could be the official music video for the song. Usually i don't like fan videos, but this is very good. Fits perfectly

[RockBirdAMV]

yeah, I liked it

[indigoikarus99]

Nice video, by the way!!

[indigoikarus99]

Why haven't I listened to them before?? They are awesome!

[artvandelay13]

protip - sounds WAY better when blasted through earbuds so you can hear the awesome bass line...

[Quezillacolt45]

i actually used the bass line as a guide for the video montage :)

[UterusMeningitis]

wow i love this song, and this video is very sweet. Reminds me of my big brother..

[MattPurpleHaze2006]

This song wasnt on the original UK release of Dummy, but it's just what I'd expect from Portishead. Sheer brilliance!

If you like Portishead you should listen to Bichi- Whirl a Stream of Comfort, To Cool and Surround Me, Until I Lose Sight on my channel. think you might like it.

[JimmyJosafat]

Shut

[LittleSis28]

This has to be my least favorite Portishead song. Dummy was, I feel their best album. All the songs were dark and smokey, and moved with a very slow groove. This song just seemed out of place right smack in the middle of everything else. Did anyone else think that?? Not a bad song, just misplaced in the mix.

[abw82]

I thought that too. Then I read this song was included only in the North American album.

[LittleSis28]

Thanks! It all makes sense now! Ha! Now I feel all smart that I noticed it. Ha ha! .... (just realized that line sounded like Speed Racer.. ) *sigh* anyway, they could've at least put this song at the end... maybe even like a hidden track.

[artvandelay13]

totally agree! this is actually the only Portishead song that I don't love... I still like it, but it just seems a little out of place compared with their other stuff...

[C1v1cDr1v3r]

@LittleSis28 Yeah but it makes a good contrast to the other songs in the album. Plus, it's probably the 'warmest' of their songs and is one of my favourites ;]

[TheLildwade23]

I know I put too many comments on portishead songs but its like her songs make you become a better person

[Sellsche]

like it
