Massive Attack - Protection

[angeldustnights3000]

Bristolians do it best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[millarstoke]

This track, and "Safe from harm" with the divine Shara Nelson will be played if I ever have a funeral. I do however aim to be immortal.

[dethgunz]

Tracy Thorn is straight out of control

her voice is pure bliss

Ghetto-Blasting perfection

she's one of my favorites and one of the best

[nopeekingjon]

god damn shes beautiful

[odinfellow]

I watched a dreamgirl become a wife to this song.

[keepyourlovesafe]

drums remind me of deftones - drive (the cars cover)

[waleed2121]

kick ass

[fghcdd]

ageless classic!

[exactlywhatisaid]

been looking for this song for a long time. it's in the movie Hackers but it's not credited in the soundtrack. it's in the scene where Burn has a party and she goes out on the balcony to have a moment

[0oraven0o]

años buscando esta cancion

[mark197ify]

One of the best trip hop song ever and the vid is amazing!

[Attuneawake78]

This video gave me vertigo.

[fistcomo907]

dear emi...you still put videos with low quality and low volume....will u change something or u are continuing with this VERY LOW QUALITY??????????????????????'

[wombatfritter]

if only u knew? The pain you put me through.

[wombatfritter]

Wish i had some ... Protection ... .... !

[johnchj]

Tracey Thorn's voice is perfect but combined with this song is special.

Fantastic happy memories. :-)

[Marco2Monaco]

That song smells love and sex

[metalexfiend]

q rola tan mas chingona adoro a massive attack aquel q diga cosas malas de ese grupo puede chupar mi pito de 25 cm xD

[Lass3DK]

this song made me fart

[hentaimaid]

@Lass3DK see...you were that relaxed

[originsssunknown]

probably, a very bad song. but these guys are very cool IMVHO 8)

[ThePheonixrain]

55 people have no '' protection' '

[Brycey6989]

@maketherain yyes they do :) no probs

[arvindkumar]

listening to this song, is like drinking smooth wine.

[marialehaditalinda]

thats the girl of nothing but the girl

[tetsuya674]

@marialehaditalinda  "Everything but the Girl"...

[marialehaditalinda]

@tetsuya674 oooomg u r right !!! hahahaha sorry

[TheBazerwan]

[martw74]

the volume is too low on this!



[doomedarkness]

sick vid

[WeLikeDanceMusic]

this song makes me so relaxed, i have exams now and i am so stressed out, i dont know wat i'd do without music

[Pwnzor729]

@WeLikeDanceMusic As do I. I find myself not being able to get any work done... just one more song...

[fxbolbo]

perfect song to have soft sex in a car.

[djmixstaro7o]

hopefully everyone can feel alot more safer within the environment we live in thankyou to all the artists who have guided and helped me out of bad times iv got involved in sometimes we say silly things in my case always and some people may take them the wrong way thankyou everyone who has helped me aswell x

[carte0000blanche]

Michel Gondry is amazing

[jsync86]

Undeniably one of the best tunes of massive attack.

[roninneko]

definitely music to have slow, firelit sex to.

[robhalluk]

Forgot just how good this tune was!!!

[VaporRun]

i love to put this song on while i am takening a shower after i get back from the gym ...... great song from Hackers!!!!!!!!!

[thevoid99]

this is for me, one of the best songs ever. it's a great song to chill out to and drive at night.

[saidy000]

Buena!

[andmaketherain]

Having been in my 20's during the 90's, maybe everyone was just spoiled with the great music that came out. Since then, the output has been sub-par. Music like this innovative, just doesn't come out nowadays. Unless someone can point me in the right direction....

[dragoyle7]

@andmaketherain look for underground trip hop dude !

[Brycey6989]

@andmaketherain search "people in planes" and "the music - the people" (have to add the album name for the music for obvious reasons lol) these are as good as the 90's crew, well, as good as modern music can be compared to the greats ;-)

[andmaketherain]

@Brycey6989 Does "People in Planes" play Nacroleptic? I have heard The Music before. Thanks for the both the tips, much appreciated. :-)

[Brycey6989]

@andmaketherain they do indeed :) i really like the "beyond the horizon" album by them. you're very welcome

[brastmonkey]

@andmaketherain You lucky fuck! and you're totally right, music today lacks originality and soul.

[sieteocho]

"I'll stand in front of you... take the force of the blow, erection...."

[AuroraMumzy]

"I'll stand in front of you...I'll take the force of the blow...protection..."

[MrFcordeiro1]

Trip Hop at his highest point.

[hellchild65]

@MrFcordeiro1 bull, strip hop was just getting started, i think MA's latter and earlier (BL) releases were better then this record by far

[esteban578]

@MrFcordeiro1 you mean their mate

[iseeteardrops]

The music, the lyrics, everything about this song is wonderful..

[Kaneda2036]

what is the name of the singer ? please

[MrsDoubtfull]

@Kaneda2036

her name is tracy thorn, she is the singer from everythng but the girl and got famous with the song Missing

[Kaneda2036]

@MrsDoubtfull thank you very much, You are very kind. sorry for my english but i'm italian good bye

[MrsDoubtfull]

@Kaneda2036

your're welcome. I am Dutch

[antniemi]

This is such a beautiful song, I get mesmerized by this every time: both musically and visually... that piano in the end, when it comes strong gets me every time. Thank you Massive Attack!

[LaggerSVK]

Great song and great clip. But have anyone noticed that plane stopped at 3:12 :D

[axelstoner]

had an amazing night with a girl who i knew was destined to break my heart, this song gives me back that night without the hate

[cosmicrider287]

@axelstoner did you use protection?

[axelstoner]

@cosmicrider287 no sir, i didnt :D  good times

[onekdur]

@axelstoner im trying to save a girl from selling herself. it's that i have to wait 2 more months until she qutis. it has already torn me apart. still being optimistic.

[Shizlamazzar]

@axelstoner haha, dude, i know i know

[FrostyJak07]

@axelstoner I assume you used Protection that night?

[kazikian]

@axelstoner I think it does that for everyone ;) Me, certainly.

[teknique000]

@axelstoner well said my friend.

[LanfeustDeGlinin]

@axelstoner I had the same 3 days ago. Hate is useless. Just know that now you can have whoever you want when you give yourself the means. And keep going on.

[alentris]

@axelstoner I know that feel. I can't hold all these feels.

[pipkins1308]

@axelstoner Yep! I'm there with you on that one. Every now and then I put this on with a decent pair of earphones and "Trip Hop" back to a certain relaionship for 6 minutes or so.

[Ethmanss]

@axelstoner You are such a bender

[axelstoner]

@Ethmanss thanks

[itsanillusion100]

@axelstoner I know the feeling, nice comment!

[Meehowski]

Epic...........

[LightsofMadness]

I went to Massive Attack in San Diego and the only song people knew was "Teardrop"! All they could say that is the "House" song. Shame!

[njsdaredevil]

she has such an awesome voice!

[nothingtoproveify]

i love grindcore and metal and a lot more besides, to anyonet this song is perfection.

[minkuce]

This is what perfect music sounds like.

[Mr141280]

Столько воспоминаний проскочило в голове пока смотрел клип ...

[jjhendo]

He forgot the girl, or what??

[250Yogi]

the levitating black guy in the blue jumper at 3:03 made me laugh so much

[bloodnokian]

My music taste was much more different when this track first came out and I disliked it intensely. Now I can see it was genius at the time.

[sdefekt]

@bloodnokian I agree with you ...It was the same for me ...thanx to Mircea and Marius Vintila two romanian producers that introduced trip hop at TV in early 97 in a post comunist country.

[blueinkheart2]

I thought america's music was awesome back in this time period, but this is amazing. It takes the raw expression of life in rap and (unlike the american music) adds a true understandable meaning to it rather than empty lyrics and flashy jewelry

[chguette59]

@blueinkheart2

not american. massive attack was an english "band"

[1skunkus]

We have protaction from 48 people who prefer gindcore.

[fjollejolle]

The same girl from Everything But the Girl's Missing!??!

[andrea111292]

@fjollejolle Yes

[baldini75]

@fjollejolle

yep

[nyusszkoo32]

(L)(L)

[Oozn1]

dreamy!

[pomponetteytica]

she has the best voice ever!

[remontunasdotru]

Прекрасное, гипнотическое звучание

[tytywoking]

MY BEST REMEMBERS OF THE PAST, THIS ALBUM...ES LO MEJOR.............TYTY CHILE Y LOS 21,

[Kiemenbeisser]

I can't understand why some people dislike this song...

[asongforthedead]

Adeus Anos 90...

[Trusten1984]

Fanastic recodings, how the way the camera moves on. Cool music to, long time

i had seen her !

[gezelligstel1]

Another case of 45 people with shit in their ears

[gowashgo]

comfortably numb at ..home. Tribute to Massive attack, d'interet public.

[sculli722]

Perhaps the single most greatest moment in this song is the moment of great power and destiny that occurs when the beat finally kicks in. This has a symbiotic approach to song making which is characteristic of the nineties. A fine song is like a fine wine, good at what it does for now but after that it will only get worse. No, perhaps they get better then get worse, everything has a peak and then withers and dies, such is the nature of life, and death. This is a fine song.

[Hermaphroukdebate]

@sculli722 You like this song then?

[sculli722]

@Hermaphroukdebate Sorry I smoked some really good hash last night, I can't really remember typing this, its incoherent rambling. It is a fine song though.

[Hermaphroukdebate]

@sculli722 Lol no worries all forgiven ;)

[manorcraft64]

@sculli722 wow i agrea far out 

[amaru2500]

I hate how I type in Massive Attack and the first video i see is Nicki Minaj -___-

[f845l3hviv]

@amaru2500 agreed. she does not deserve to be listed on the same page as a great talent like massive attack, definitely not at the top of the page!

[cobblemaster]

Michel Gondry makes the best videos.

[vickychrisafoudi]

Εκπληκτική συνεργασία...

[dip225]

@vickychrisafoudi lol I dont know what you're saying but I need to learn greek.

[vickychrisafoudi]

@dip225 lol!!! i said "Great collaboration"!!! (I mean the band with this singer...)

[karmacomaable]

I hate the channel and it takes too long to upload a stupid video if not for youtube you would be the best thing on the internet

[ancientbabe]

something in the vibe reminds me for radiation ruling the nation

[JRRDPR]

this should have 100 000 views not somebody i don't wanna name.Massive attack is Pure SoulBust.

[wowflutter]

One of only a handful of songs that I can play endlessly without getting tired.

[EMJAYFAB]

Walking wounded is the next best thing to this song. And its the same singer. But most of you know this already. Lovely voice. Calms me.

[raretrick]

Gondry is a god

[alexpadu79]

BETH ORTON IS ONE OF THE MUCH UNDERRATED SINGER OUT THERE . I THINK SHE'S NOT GETTING THE ATTENTIONS AND RECOGNITIONS SHE DESERVES JUST BECAUSE SHE ISN'T BEAUTIFUL AND IT S UNFAIR BECAUSE SHE'S GOT AN AMAZING VOICE ...

[destiny66]

@alexpadu79

I don't know... I think I Beth O is wicked cute. And she gets much recognition from the "circles that she swings in". 

[TheTruthoverlies]

beautiful

[alekkksandre]

Nice colorfoul vintage videoclip ^^)

[lujandorantes]

Oh, I miss so much the 90's!!

[bluemoonday]

ads are utterly pathetic. Come on youtube, don't be so frigging lame.

[beckstuartindeed]

My favourite part was the tampon ad at the start

[bbelem1987]

i still wonder how this video has been done

[EMJAYFAB]

@bbelem1987

its called editing.

[eamonn1983]

This is just stupidly good.

[princebubby]

My God this is one beautiful piece of music and video art. High rotation on my favorite list.

[reliabilityinmind]

This track is mesmerizing..Great Song, great voice by Little Mighty Lovely racey

[Deja1977]

...you tell her she can manage...you can't chenge the way she feels but you could put your arms around her... : /

[laofrensis]

Can you explane me the video please ?

[HoofandHorn]

@laofrensis It's a bunch of people doing weird shit.

[EMJAYFAB]

@laofrensis

Its a look into the social structure and the emotions that drive it. You may not like your family sometimes, but would do anything to stop them being hurt. Loss is a feeling that temporarily removes the connection to a loved one until it is replaced by the memory of love.

Hope this helps.

[laofrensis]

@EMJAYFAB sure! thanks for all..

[11onestar22]

@EMJAYFAB thank you it helped

[tankareno]

I don't remember, didn't Tracey Thorn do two songs with Massive Attack?

[Deja1977]

@tankareno The hunter gets captured by the game and also Better things...as far as i know ;)

[eyekilledbambi]

........

the beat the bass the 303 and Tracy's voice

no need for an essay on it

[mctimbo]

@Ichoosetheredpill YEP

[J4C0853N]

at exactly 2:40... gravity shifts

[EMJAYFAB]

@J4C0853N

you mean everything but the girl and yes, its the same singer. Best album, walking wounded.

[IChoseTheRedPill]

is this the singer from the group called "anything but the girl"?

[tankareno]

@IChoseTheRedPill It's Tracey Thorn from Everything But The Girl.

[123ife]

This song is exceptionally deep. It sample's James Brown's "The Payback" A brash and crazy song about taking revenge on a cheating spouse and their new Lover. Not only did they alter the SAMPLE but they reversed the THEME to show the other side of the song. The cheaters protecting one another in spite of their wrongdoing because of love. Massive Attack are superb even in their use of sampling. As a big JB fan and a big MA fan I was touched when I found this out.

[trashcanalive]

Achingly beautiful song.

[smashinbottles]

ahaahhaa...i get it vevo=good?

[MrStarlight50]

i always use protection

[dudenhtown]

UNLESS YOU DISLIKE THE FACT THAT THERE IS THE STUPID ADVERTISEMENT BEFORE THE VIDEO, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU COULD DISLIKE THIS SONG OR VIDEO...AS A MATTER FACT WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU EVEN DOING MAKING ANY ATTEMPT TO CLICK ON THIS SONG, LET ALONE WATCH IT?

[musicforpeople]

FUCK VEVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TroyConvers5000]

The parents of 37 people should have worn protection.

[AlekAndroid]

@TroyConvers5000 +10 more... they're reproducing!

[princebubby]

Zombie alert: there are 36 people here who have neither a pulse nor a soul.

[donchuito5]

i will play it the next time i have sex

[meklopfklopf]

mmmmm, still a awesome song!

[crazycrazyjenn]

This song instantaneously makes me a better person. "I'll stand in front of you and take the force of the blow...". Love.

[LaughingMan0960]

What an absolutely beautiful song and video!

[celeocanth]

muzak

[asphidistra]

[therealdeepo]

[argento761]

Where is that guitar riff from? I've heard it before...

[br00talKidHxC]

@argento761 possibly The Payback by James Brown

[martinmedeski]

I feel very safe when I listen to this.

[chazzdurden]

This video reminds me of Much Music cause there was the first time I saw it =)

[dreddomatic]

Tune is awesom...for lights of the world, but clip is shittttttttttttttttt .about nothing.vision of director was focus for new tendencies of shooting, not for the real of the prospect of this poemfutuingprospectionpersvasi­on for mind.

yes.we all needs protections, this sound of this voice, this beat.....

Video kills the radio stars!!!!!!

[EnamaAsim]

Every time I see this video I remember when I was really really young, on MTV there were great music and amazing videos ... man, what a piece of art.

[bfdhvcnvvbjdn]

This song makes life worth existing for.

[glhmtv]

Gondry video's should always come with a making-of

[Benannie888]

@glhmtv Videos

[duckotaco]

Vevo you gotta die come on. enough. die and leave us alone, c'mon now, no hesitation

[AnOvyx]

Fuck you vevo putting that song over protection.

[MetaDubios]
