Massive Attack - Sly

[Alekzendo]

who's the singer ? just found out Bajka sounds like her

[ianbrownstyle]

@Alekzendo Her name is Nicolette (Nicolette Suwoton). She also provided the vocals for "3" on the same album. Tracey Thorn sung the title track Protection.

[Alekzendo]

@ianbrownstyle Thanks ! :D

[kjmusicboxx]

i love this song-can anyone tell or confirm who is the voice on this song..deep poetry..

[Meridal]

[WalterSobchak1000]

i love Nicolette

[karelzich]

they have so many awesome songs, but this is one of the very best for sure imo

[xiaofang1031983]

amazing!



[idiotsdream]

This is a brilliant song, it always seems to get forgotten in Massive Attack's back catalogue.

[cidabox]

One of my faves also. Very sensual and passionate.

[jutubik1]

one of my favourite songs from massive attack!

[Boraxinato]

He descubierto hace poco a Massive Attack y su música es una GOZADA, gracias por su música.

Ritmo, cadencia, voz... Suerte que, de vez en cuando, se encuentran autenticas joyas

[postcardfromCuba]

@Boraxinato Tienes buenos gustos.

[DOREMISOLO]

[SangiNET]

Eat shit, VEVO. Love Massive Attack.

[Proyecto251]

i think robert is very sexy and his music is so erotic... but he reminds me (to me) he is the conterpart of liam howlett, like dr jeckyll & mr Hyde XD

[basehead617]

INCREDIBLE.

[padraigmarcus]

do vampires really exist? lol

[SuperDubios]

no vevo, I won't watch Lady Gaga's Judas

[STEPASAUR]

For me Nicolettes finest work, beautiful song and video, indicitive also in the change in musical 'priorities' these days perhaps, just seems like that level of introspection and soul searching's been somewhat abandoned in favour of more resigned or 'get shitfaced and party' attitude? ps this is eff all to do with acid (or maybe while I think on 'everything' to do with it?)

[anyshitt]

i had this album on Cassette tape, before C.D.s were invented many years ago.. of course I whore the tape out and had to buy another one..

I always visualized a black woman/ Japanese type singing this song.

and i am seeing the video for the first time..

[TheDukafilm]

@anyshitt me too,,l listen cassette tape in 1994,,,and l was thinking classic music end of this track it's begining of Heat Miser,,,we are old nowwwwww!!!

[anyshitt]

@TheDukafilm oh goody.. lol

[0325andrea]

<3



[BekkaPoo]

My absolute favorite Massive Attack song of all time..

[foamythe]

@BekkaPoo It's my favorite too, she has the sexiest singing voice I have ever heard in my life.

[MaxRockLove]

A story of a clown .. like requiem for a dream .. I never saw a video so sad as this .. where? On My Channel! Sub if you like it! ..

[TheProphetEliza]

This is totally awesome!! massive attack are amazing! :):)

[seb2313]

Magnifique.Hyptonisant.Jouissi­f.

[ChunkyChest]

This song will never grow old.. and bigups to Nicolette luvs!

and the reprise @ end.. muah priceless

[ChunkyChest]

This song will never grow old.. and bigups to Nicolette luvs!



[ChunkyChest]

This song will never grow old..

[grapadoramix]

I don't remember my life before Massive Attack.

[zaominach]

Everyone shut up, just watch this when you are stoned.

[Tipske15]

@zaominach i dont think i have to ... i'm getting stonde just off this music! :D

[Pronoc1]

Why are all their videos about acid trips!!!????

[SuperiFox]

@Pronoc1 Because the genre is TRIP hop

[Pronoc1]

@SuperiFox

Uh uh uh

You just fell into the trap.

Massive Attack do not like being pigeonholed as a genre.

[SuperiFox]

@Pronoc1 Whatever.. I call it trip-hop, it's trip-hop to me. IMO.

[simanic]

@SuperiFox

i grew up listening the bristol sound,no doubt its trip hop.....

[rocksinoo]

@Pronoc1 Lol Massive Attack is basically the first Trip Hop group -.-

[walterezo]

una gran pieza de electronica, la mejor de protection!

[apollo3012]

omfg its kerrigan

the swarm is back xD

[BillieMunday]

*cough* Does It Offend You, Yeah? *cough*

[electelectro]

Thumbs up if Does It Offend You, Yeah?! brought you here!

[leonardotube]

the final part send shivers down my spine :~~~~~~

[Pettetje]

I'm obsessed by Robert !

[dreamguyyy]

'Wandering leaving the sea behind, to my home which everybody owns' The sensitive balance between letting go and holding on while concentrating the mind on the present moment. All about perception of life, your surroundings...

[MudHut67]

@dreamguyyy

That is your interpretation yes.

[drogheda1966]

Hard to watch M.A. videos these days. After Blue Lines, so much druggy ugliness, it's like suffocation. Of its time, sadly, in that room of dreary hopeless in music's house of the 90's. Bought Tricky's Nearly God and was relieved when a friend offered to trade it.

[basehead617]

@drogheda1966 Blue Lines is amazing and more upbeat/fun than their later work, yes, but i can't believe someone would deny the power of this album.. after Protection I agree it was a downhill slide though.

[hellchild65]

@basehead617 are you kidding?! theyve gotten better and better with each release, granted the last album wasnt anything epic, but it was still pretty solid

[angelgregzion]

and no I don't do drugs... I am just a deep person lol

[wllOvOllw]

@angelgregzion

Hey, not everyone out here is dead to understanding, there are a few who prove not everyone out here is fucked up and cold. Just because someone uses their brain more so than others doesnt mean they are on drugs.

[angelgregzion]

I feel like finally someone understands what I've been going through lately... she summed it up with these lyrics and this video..

[luisfelespinosa]

Massive Attack are a drug hard to give up.

Im addicted to them...

[nph75n]

this tunes makes me shiver! big up 3d, dj mushroom, daddy g!!!

[nph75n]

THE MUSIC IT SELF HAS NOTHING TO DO WHIT DRUGS BUT A SPLIFF MAKES IT SOUNDS DEEPER I AGREE BUT DONT MIX THINGS UP KIDS....

[leftovercrack66]

@nph75n lol really ? you think Massive Attack has nothing to do with drugs? maybe you don't quite understand the meaning of any Massive Attack song or you're just listening to it because "it's cool".it's not just that kind of "some music" or "y cool nice song" type of thing.Most of their songs have a multitude of meanings and interpretations all of witch connect at a certain level with this subject: DRUGS.Take for example Karmacoma Daydreaming or Inertia Creeps.L2 really listen/feel music :)

[a16gregjockca]

ever had a chocolate chip cookie made from hash and crushed peyote? WHEEE!

[nothin115]

this song have me orgasm

[a16gregjockca]

take acid, kids!

[TheNanakDev]

@a16gregjockca I'm glad I took your advice! :)

[a16gregjockca]

@TheNanakDev see? who needs corporate-sponsored paxil when we can smoke a hookah and open up the portals of our minds? HOORAY! have a brownie.

[TheNanakDev]

@a16gregjockca Thanks, man!

[BADchemik]

@a16gregjockca tho shroooms boooy, the shroooooms QW@@!!!!! ( lots respecta to acid, b ut n o compare to the ultimate magic provided by the magic mushrooms, KID Z:DDDDDDDD)

[skpal666]

Check out 2:55-3:15. The first time i listened this (I was young, gee) this part used to amaze me and was so..psychedelic....

[Dav777]

lady gaga..horse poo poo...This is real music. Love it.

[damiqde6uq]

DaveBritish and a15gregjockca are you guys stupid ? listen to the music and stop arguing about stuff

[blazedafrodon]

Does anyone know wats the meanin of this song? This video has a hidden agenda bareeeeee symbolism . Hope massive attack area force for good and not involvd in the illuminati shit. How Can u say God is not real ur deluded, how can u not b spiritual in this day and age open ur eyes and c the mass deception and evil around u

[mancesthefruit]

@blazedafrodon Mass deception and evil are only cause for denial. They in no way prove the existence of anything spiritual. I think YOU'RE deluded for not being someone who believes in logic and believes in something obviously created by people to control the way you think. Religion and politics are the biggest two forms of MASS DECEPTION that they use to control the way we think by giving us a sense of participation and acceptance with our spoon fed "beliefs."

[GameP4wn]

@mancesthefruit not true its:

religion and media ...

okay media allways was used by politics...

[117Yessir]

@GameP4wn religion aswell

[SDoncamatic]

@blazedafrodon The lyrics themselves are about reincarnation, at least partly. "I feel like a thousand years have passed", "Bells I heard a thousand years before", "I'm younger than I used to be" and "there's always more".

Yeah!

[SmileyFaceEmo]

Their videos... WTF....

[asiaqq]

That's always more....Love it.

[DaveBritish]

WONDERFUL!!!! LIKE BJÖRK!!!!

[a15gregjockca]

@DaveBritish bjork's cunt is old as the hills.

[DaveBritish]

@a15gregjockca and does better music than yours

[a15gregjockca]

@DaveBritish really? fascinating. i didn't realize that bjork's CUNT was so talented. tell me more about her vaginal talents, asshole. LOL!

[DaveBritish]

@a15gregjockca HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA MAYBE HER "JOGA YOUR ASS" WILL FUCK YOU UP THE WAY YOU ASKED FOR IT!!!!

[a15gregjockca]

@DaveBritish no. her used dyke clit will never satisfy me the way a real man can.

[DaveBritish]

@a15gregjockca HEY NOT EVERYTHING IS SEX... BUT YEAH, MAYBE THREE MASIVE ATTACKS WILL DO IT FOR YOU...

[a15gregjockca]

@DaveBritish yes, bitch. EVERYTHING is sex so why not stick your ass on a pylon and rotate, hmm?

[DaveBritish]

@a15gregjockca Cause that produces filthy patologies. And I don't like pleasures that much, bitch!.

[a15gregjockca]

@DaveBritish you should. anus love is wonderful, fuckface.

[DaveBritish]

@a15gregjockca hahaha that's what an illusive love pretend you to believe... many of those who say they love in their hearts are juts filthy, bastard liars... Real love goes beyond sex... maybe if you keep yourself far away from sex issues you may get real needing inside of you, but when you get tired of having it you can see trhough another glass, you maybe dirty maybe clean whatever unknown. care

[a15gregjockca]

@DaveBritish no, real love is a fantasy like god or "democracy" LOL!

[DaveBritish]

@a15gregjockca maybe you just think love and sex are naturally together... love is love and when you give yourself for something with no doubts... G'd makes fantasy look like a fairy tale... and I don't know, maybe you are very sad with yourself but it is my opinion and anything else.

[a15gregjockca]

@DaveBritish no love is imaginary psycho crap. stop eating mushrooms, slut.

[DaveBritish]

@a15gregjockca HAHAHAH MAYBE YOU'RE JUST MADE OF TRASH. YOU'VE LIVED BY WORDS FORMANY YEARS BUT NOW IS TIME FOR REAL DEEDS. AND GET A LIFE NOW, SOMEONE LIKE YOU DOESN'T DESERVE BEING TALKING TO A WONDERFUL PIECE OF STAR LIKE ME... SI ES SOBERBIA, SI ES ORGULLO, PERO ES POR EL AMOR A LA TIERRA.

[a15gregjockca]

@DaveBritish great, a hippy beaner. just what we need. you're human fucking compost. get the fuck out of here, yappy. if you wanna improve the world, you can start with turning off your fruity caps lock, cunt.

[DaveBritish]

@a15gregjockca HIPPY, I'M NOT A FUCKING NORTH AMERICAN PIECE OF ATHEIST SHIT!!!!! GET YOUR FUCKING SCIENCE RIGHT UP TRHOUGH YOUR ANUS BITCH!!!! IMPORVE THE WORLD, I'D HAVE TO KILL YA BABY WENCH!!!! CARE

[radbarij]

Srsly, emimusic? "performing" Sly? This is a *video*... it's a brilliant video, but a *video* nonetheless.

Bah, give us "Risingson" (Underdog mix) and you'll have earned a little penance.

[MyMindTank]

This song should have been in one of the Matrix flims, preferably the 1st one.

[NapalmDestruction]

3:35 - 4:43... TRIPPYYY

[enijk]

0:00

[11vag]

BEST SONG EVER

[CollegeSmart1]

This always sounded like a James Bond theme to me.

[elman1234]

@CollegeSmart1 I knew I was not the only one.

[stanislavsd]

@CollegeSmart1 hahahha, that is just funny

[daOriGinooGrapeBeer]

@CollegeSmart1 Goooooold FingaHHHHH!!!!!!

[AlisaDante]

Man, I used to love this song! Still do!

[maryarne]

[maryarne]

[snowm0bile]

3 ppl are lieing to themselves

[lungaro100]

Massive Attack are Food for thought!!!

[chicagosamantha]

Love the lyrics....very haunting.

[djhyperio]

wow

[Pettetje]

I have Massive Attack always on in my room.

[gmilf71]

@Pettetje

your room must be very hypnotic.

do you have a bong with weed in it constantly as well?

[Pettetje]

@gmilf71 How'dya guess?!

[gmilf71]

@Pettetje

lol just had a feeling

[planetfunk69]

orale, que buena rola, espero no perdermelos ahora que regresan a mexico

[marciaholtzman]

loved sly

[marciaholtzman]

loved 

[acapedit]

@marciaholtzman Stephane Sednaoui

[mutedisease]

unmistakably Howard Greenhalgh...could not miss that guys work if I was color blind.

[acapedit]

@mutedisease Stephane Sednaoui

[mutedisease]

@acapedit ..ok, I stand corrected. =p

[DrScruffy]

could be a james bond opening

[masobeso]

whats the difference betwen dubstep and trip hop

[ihearduliekgoatse]

@masobeso Trip hop is good.

[SandjiD]

@masobeso

How stupid question is this???

[olyansincs]

I feel like a thousand years have passed,

I'm younger than I used to be.

I feel like the world is my home at last,

I know everyone that I need.

[privadogarcia]

i love nicolette

[kassemzaayterable]

is this a MASSIVE ATTACK original clip?

[zmile8]

si eeuu

[BrianFreakinNichols]

I can listen to this song over and over again, and I often do.

[TylerMontana]

massive is so unique... there will be nothing like it for the rest of the universe.

[pacokeruak]

nicolette attack wonderful!!

[andrekoeks]

one of my all time favourites...

[coysexjk]

-bobs head-

[jmwingding]

this is amazing! this video captures both the eye and the ear. intoxicating.

[MrSunshine58]

@jmwingding I cant agree more on your words. I like Rising Son the best, today i watched this clip the first time....but I completely 'got into it', just so fascinating. What a bunch of talents these guys are (musicians AND filmmakers). So much better then the conventional pop music. Massive is (to me) one of the most important bands.

[bliss9889]

I love the feeling that I get from Trip-hop music

[TheSasha1111]

we are all one.

[maestrochi]

@TheSasha1111 You fail at grammar and math, man.

[TheSasha1111]

grade 3 sucked dude!!

[titsgalore48]

one time me and my friend were driving home on a long trip and i played this song over and over again while i was driving and he was sleeping..i almost crashed the fuckin car dude! it was crazy good song

[LookItsColette]

lmaoo, great song, but what?

[Jax1108]

Ok...I wanna have sex now...

[A1gregjockca]

sluts, all of you. rat poison is too good for you assholes. lmao! no seriously, get aids.

[levellifemars]

one of the best massive songs

[AngryMollusc]

I think, at the moment, that this is the best song.

[doodame]

Happy Easter Massive A

[steve5621]

Arguing on the internet is like the special Olympics, even if you win, you're still a retard, just enjoy the damn video.

[MrSplash33]

@steve5621 wat he said

[Izaak247]

im so pissed why did itunes give me 10 free songs for THE WORST BAND EVER i hate this mussicccc ahhhhhhh ittunes u scammmmm

[26cab40]

Why don't you fuck off back to whatever little music ghetto you live in.

Probably voicetuned R'n'B or some shit like that.

[Jax1108]

@Izaak247

Wow. Thats rather close minded and ungrateful. Its free music man! Don't take it if your gonna be like that!

[kazamache]

dread, this songs is trully from the soul wish they would play more songs like this on local radio

[amazinero]

@kazamache. Me, too. But this music makes one expand his/her horizons. Radio stuff just keeps listeners in a mindless stupor--just where "pop culture", fuck all but me capitalists need them to be. That's why radio is bad for your health. . . at least for now. I have hope, though.

Keep on keepin' on.

[arnab1021976]

This puts THE trip in trip hop!!!

RESPECT!!

[ignacioromeros]

Que temasso me hace volar grande Nicolette una hermosa voz a disposicion del Massivos...;)

[dudeskatefool1]

dope

[necrosoldier]

This video reminds me Willian Gibson's book "Neuromancer"... That's cool

[mku17ra]

It influenced a lot of movies, so I wouldn't rule out its influence on most of the electronic music of the 90s. Including whoever directed this video.

[michaelmcguire93]

i love the word sly

[allseeingi]

The vocals on this always remind me of Skye Edwards lead singer with Morcheeba. it has that same easy vibe and the strings are awesome and compliment the beat so well.

[zZAD]

One of my favourite clips EVER!!!!

Amazing Music from Massive Attack!!

Saw them Live at Barcelona and It was AMAZING!!!

Great Dj´s and live musicians giving it ALL.... Would Love to repeat that Experience!!!

ARTISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zZAD]

Uno de mis videos favoritos de siempre.....

Increible la musica de Massive Attack!!!

Los ví en Barcelona en directo y quedé impactado....Increibles Dj´s con musicos en directos y diferentes cantantes... Sonaba INCREIBLE en Live!!! BRAVO!!!

[lizzard9233]
