Massive Attack - Protection

[robshort]

Agreed. This song makes the Top-5-Ultimate-Sex-Jams Mixtape.

[jaydensmom99]

Love Love this song im addicted to Massive Attack now <3 it

[hexx1176]

Isn't this from Silent Hill?

[SIMONDUKEN]

@hexx1176 i dont think so man...but im not sure..

[davidgroovey]

I had sex listening to this song!

[cosmo262]

Tracey Thorn is smoking hot.

[vannisheed]

this is one of the best videos I have seen.

[22sammycat]

loving this song - protect

[orngoronorguo]

GIVE ME HER DRESS.

[anakesh1]

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

[immortalxsquid]

Porn song?

[MissJezebel61]

@immortalxsquid why is this a porn song,its about domestic violence,the lyrics speak for themselves

[immortalxsquid]

@MissJezebel61 The bests from the start sound like a porn movie from direct tv

[XaYdEK]

@MissJezebel61 It has nothing to do with domestic violence ... It's a man's promise of love, protection and care but set in a soft female voice... It is a verbal translation of what a man can feel for a woman but cannot express in words (we kinda have a problem with that) ... Listen to it again ... And again ... Until you get it ...

[alternatehistories]

It was because of this song that they coined the term "trip hop"....beautiful and spacey sounding.

[Yuribiji]

sono il gabibbo!

[AnthonyDavid94]

Just getting into Massive Attack. love it! Nice 303 line.

[smallpaule]

Luvly...

[resistance5555]

anabl ur samaya?

[zon3ful]

at 0:40sounds like porno music xD. great tune nonetheless

[exionem]

Truly one of the best songs of the 90's.

It's sad to see the state of music now-days...

Simply pathetic.

Yes, you read PATHETIC.

80's and 90's music were SO much better than the crap we have to take today.

[theCREAPx]

@exionem at least when talking on popular music. still nice tunes ot there

[Spinnachild]

Drrruuugggsss........

[Nox979]

Masterpiece...How many memories...

[skittymaramunteanu]

thank you for sharing that

[cnielson92]

No matter who you are, where you come from, or what you have been through, every single person can relate to this song one way or another. I know this song has got me through so many times, good and bad. it makes me feel safe.

[lonegrodelpiano]

La mezcla perfecta: Michel Gondry & Massive Attack. Hermoso. Me gustaría ver cómo hicieron este video.

[uneeda420]

I just realized that they used a James Brown sample. Ive been raking my brain to figure out where I heard that little guitar twang.

[ALSNEDDON]

My gift of the day to everyone - if you don't love this you're either very old, deaf, blind or dead!

[midnighterrant]

@ALSNEDDON I'm old, deaf, blind and dead, and I still love this song!

[ALSNEDDON]

@midnighterrant it's so great not being dead - isn't it?

[midnighterrant]

@ALSNEDDON ;)

[KamaraAlex]

I have an Ear-Sensual-Physical-Orgams every time i listen to this song.... ups here we go again.....

[trollcrusher242]

Anyone else out there catch the jet plane seemingly just come to a stop in mid air once it passes the building at approximately the 3:15 mark?

Vertical stabilizer just seems to halt and even backtrack a slight bit.

;-)

[KamaraAlex]

@trollcrusher242 neat eye.. :)

[trollcrusher242]

@KamaraAlex

;-)

[82alexski]

this was in 1995 not 2005...

[ANDROMEDAKRAKEN]

Actually it is Tracy Thorn. 

[Sander929]

Thumbs up for the makes; there are no edits in this video.

[Kafiristanica]

@Sander929

Michel Gondry is great!

[anyabelle]

Had sex to this song.

[maselak]

@anyabelle with no protection right?!

[anyabelle]

@maselak nope, none at all ;) 

[bleuroo]

@anyabelle So then for the next nine months, "Teardrop" will be the soundtrack, and for 18 years after: "Safe From Harm"

;)

[anyabelle]

@bleuroo and then "protection" again, yeah? hehe. 

[andjelaxixi]

[anyabelle]

@andjelaxixi XD 

[debbieallen2]

Her voice is something wonderful!

[HackerCrakerSlacker]

I just LOVE Massive Attack ...this song gives me the chill's

[000supersonic000]

e la voce di Tracey Thorne

[gfrelli]

The Payback- James Brown

[VenusAsABoyFilms]

& I'm officially addicted to this song! 

[santiagoprez]

Absolutely Superb. 

[Amfinka]

who is that singer?

[roby30]

@Amfinka Tracey Thorn.

[GerasaBod]

@Amfinka Vocalist is Tracey Thorne of Eerything But The Girl. She also sung Better Things with them - both tremendous.

[lionelhutz85]

@Amfinka

[mikevern69]

love it

[alepulsar]

Massive Attack is one of the best bands in the history of music and humanity...

[losercara666]

like 

[karmigero]

brilliant

[RedNoir]

Love This song!

[nunusia25]

przepiękna,ponadczasowa piosenka!!!! :*

[ukhio]

NOt bad i thought this group only made electronic music

[xinvinciblex]

I just knew it was a Michel Gondry video. He's so creative.

[mrbokka11]

thanks kid..

[silaurblue]

Seriously talented intelligent band with cracking videos, what more can you ask?

[lpycb42]

I stand in front of you

And take the force of the blow

Protection

You're a boy and i'm a girl

But you know you can lean on me

And I don't have no fear

I'll take on any man here

Who says that's not the way it should be

Ugh genius.

[melylla87]

questa canzone è meravigliosa...forse la più bella tra tutte

[alanbstard4]

she can sing this lass

[danilosierrac]

3:14

An IBERIA plane? Un avión de IBERIA?

[steveb123point5]

Who is the singer? I don't think that I've ever seen a group as innovatively diverse as Massive Attack; it's like a core of something built around an ever-changing shell, with the fundamental principles of what is represented, always staying the same. I don't think that I've ever seen this principle applied successfully to a popular music group; not to say that they're a pop music group, no disrespect!

[UKRAku]

Ain't she the girl from Everything but the girl??

[Raphouse2]

Yes, she is

[KARBELAEZ]

@UKRAku yes she is...

[SkyBlu3Android92]

something about this song is so soothing - it relaxes me on a level that's unattainable for me at times.

[3ni2nr]

her voice melts my heart

[SIMONDUKEN]

who writes the lyrics of massive attack songs??

[huevadaspe]

:´)

[SIMONDUKEN]

this girl....needs some shelter... amazing song!!!!

[TheOneAndOnly554153]

THis is one of my biggest childhood songs. It makes me remember of all my holidays in france (Y)

[DuoParakuku]

There is nothing like Massive Attack's music which reminds so well of life as a youngster in post-soviet Europe. I didn't even know about Massive Attack back then but wow... as far as anything non-classical this is the most complex and satisfiying music out there.

[Numtalegau]

THE most beautiful love song ever written.

I nit you shot.

[Nokiathrower]

Shit I never thought Massive Attack is so much popular in my country (Poland)

And as I see on stats it's dark green.

Dobra robota rodacy :D

[banhezalein]

I've always believed in the power of Tracey's voice. So passive, so gentle, so quiet...she can take you everywhere, and this song is another proof of it.

M.A. & Tracey: The perfect mix.

Thank world for 90s music.

[aisfle]

i listen to this song since i was 13 years old... and it still makes me chill.... specially when watching the video too

[Manch3st3rCr3w]

"I'll stand in front of you - Take the force of the blow..." Beautiful lyrics

[MrDirtySouth514]

JUst WoW

[cleiva25]

El mejor video, la mejor canción despues de 15 años, no hay nada mejor, trip hop puro y bueno. Cristian Leiva, Chile

[danlovesnan]

a masterpiece!!

[boardernut]

Don't forget this song if from 1994.

[MrDirtySouth514]

it in the movie Hackers :)

[changospank1]

@boardernut wow i did not know that. awesome how still holds up. i barely started listening to them in 2006 and this song in 2008. you think any of this crappy music around today will hold up just as good 16 yrs from now?

[turtlewings]

I think the way they filmed this was that the set is tilted a 90 degree angle so that everyone who appears to be standing up is lying down and everyone lying down is standing up. Cool optical illusion!

[NiklasEC]

seeing them at montreux jazz this summer. Third time overall, second time at Montreux Jazz. The first monteux gig I saw them at was the best gig ever. Good to see so many others appreciating them!

[Numtalegau]

One of the if not the most beautiful love songs ever written.

Masterpiece.

[Vaibik]

Would love to read the lyrics. I don't understand so much of the lyrics in this song.

[GIANNIPALU67]

GGRRAAAAANNNNNNNDDDDDIIII.....­..

[azzleeka]

a timeless masterpiece

[YNWASG8]

Michel Gondry - genius. This video - best in his career. Though 'Knives Out' Radiohead - too a masterpiece.

[tibbs2472]

Toronto May 7 2010. See you there!!

[pookajonson]

i love Tracy Thorn! She incredible... :p

[SJM]

Massive Attack Live... don't wish to hard... (as China Crisis might say).

I have seen them twice.

Once supporting Radiohead in Dublin.

They were pretty poor.

But then 5-6 years later, they were decent.

[lastigechels]

wooow , i saw them last year and will see them this year 2 ... i was in the backyard listening to this song for the 209292992th time , and once again i was spacing out and thoght: this is 10000000% pure love

[attackforce5]

May 7 2010 in Toronto, I sooooo can't wait. I have been waiting for years. :)

[nikedeep]

[brucinda01]

[exionem]

Listening to this song while I drink a sip of hot coffee in a beautiful afternoon as I gaze the majestic Arenal Volcano in COSTA RICA....

PRICELESS

[TheBeruska2]

@exionem ... Wow, that sounds an awesome afternoon..

Luv this song, like most MA songs anway..

[actressinny]

[Izaak247]

[paddythetinker]

@Izaak247 there's one dislike anyway

[pamelamaurstad]

i've always loved this video - i love this song

And you can't change the way she feels

But you could put your arms around her

[haylestone1]

we all need protection, from time to time...

[krystle2286]

it just gets better and better everytime i hear it! one of my favourites of all time

[cristo1892]

That kick at the start of the track is amazing, sonically perfect song.

[salom76033]

[25massive]

1994 memories

[TheNhuel]

[funlibereko]

Michel Gondry the best

[DrewCameronFilms]

Just another excellent song from an amazing career - one which I think is far from over. Massive Attack are extremely versatile.

[bartonim]

@DrewCameronFilms Two amazing careers--Tracy is great too. The new MA album is splendid! I'm calling it a 2010 best, along with the new Gorillaz album, but we'll see what Tracy comes up with!

[FrugoMan1989]

OMG, I love that song, and I've never think, that Massive Attack made it! I'm shocked!

[mahj]

Does anyone know if there is a 'making of' video of this somewhere?

[ramaabjena]

the rumbling bass beat lends the song a tribal effect

[keesjan41]

yeah the chin and the voice all in one girl! A package deal!

[Rioth]

Is this is the chic from 'everything but the girl'?

[superchip138]

yep

[superchip138]

tracey thorne !!

[grako76]

it surely is....chin and all!!!

[kakukaka]

yup, that is she indeed

[tmama26]

a classic<3

[Pornongjoe]

I love the video!! I love the band!! I love their music!!!

[chooseyourfutures]

MAY I SAY AWESOME ?
