What a amazing band! Thank you for uploading. I missed the show in Montreal (grr!). I'm a musician and i just recorded my own version of «Roads» by Portishead. I think It's pretty different with male vocals. You can hear it on my Youtube. Have a good day!
in less than a month, i get to see them and with any luck, they'll perform this song. i can't even begin to imagine what seeing this live will feel like, but i am certainly looking forward to it. love love love this song.
@chicananerdcm Sound Academy? I can't imagine what it'll be like for this sound to wash over me and surround me, caged in by bodies. Ready and willing for the unforgettable.
@royalnaz1 Dude look at the song "Don't let me be misunderstood", the latest version is the product of the previous two versions and I think the best one is the most reason. How can you say a song cover is always bad?
@SIMONDUKEN Dumbass, he can definitely compare the two when White Lies performed a cover of the song. White Lies may not be as good, but that certainly doesn't make joshie boy down here a dumbass.
I keep telling all my friends in bands they should get Moog synths just to play one note and play with the modulator knob throughout their songs but they tell me it's a waste of money! What do they know?!?
@Neweddy24 Geoff Barrow is the DJ you are mentioning and he is not only a DJ, he also plays Drums, Percussion, Rhodes Piano, Programmer, Synthesizer, Hammond Organ, Sampler, Bass Guitar, Kazoo and DJ's when needed in the song. This song didn't need it so he didn't DJ. You obviously know nothing of Portishead and are just criticizing for the sake of it. Grow up or do your homework.
deBarnik, I don't agree...in this song, everything's perfect, but in many songs of the last album, often Beth is just moaning. The music changed but she didn't.
I think main problem with Portishead is that the most is just Beth... she's perfect, but sometimes (not always) some arrangements are just not at her level...
Awesome performance. This is real music. I really dig the 60's, 70's and 90's. The times when music had feeling and that's what I search for in music, it doesn't matter if it is this or Metal. I'd like to invite all you good people into this music (real music I'd say) to check my band's music - Mob of God - on this channel. It would be an honor to have some feedback from people that listen to stuff we consider awesome and influenced us. Thanks. Peace.
from kate bush to wu-tang, i thhink everyone should approach there musical taste's with no fear, that's what i've always tried to do, too many people are afraid to admit they like certain things cos it doesn't fit in with thier social group and the're afraid to be made fun of, all genre's of music have amazing things to offer aswell as terrible.
@mobofg Real music with feeling is being made at every moment, this one included. If you don't go looking for it, and merely wait for someone to bring it to you, then the problem cannot be helped, because all you'll get is product.
@mobofg no offence, but you're talking shit. there are plenty of brilliant bands around at the moment, just because they're not in the charts doesn't mean they don't exist.
@MillaHead WHAT did You said?!?!?! if I neglect your comment that this song is about farting, if i ignore that as I said-you're stupid, or... WAIT!!!... why am I wasting my time? I will listen to you and instead of fucking off, I'll fuck someone (as I have somebody to fuck), unlike you ... and my final answer to You is "FART OFF" :)
questo pezzo ha la capacità di farmi volare, arrivare sulle vette delle più alte pendici rocciose, sino a farmi scivolare in un profondo Canyon contornato di lussureggianti raggi luminosi... adoro viaggiare, riflettere e parlare con me stesso...questo pezzo ha segnato un periodo importante della mia vita, il periodo dei primi gruppi...grazie Portishead per il vostro valido contributo all'arte, sarete ricordati per questo, e in quanto artista darò anch'io il mio contributo a questo scontato mondo
@LeeJody So, people crying during funerals are also emo? C'mon, gimme a break! Humans have a broad diversity of emotions, and sometimes (very few times, actually) I can break in tears. This song is so powerful that gives me goose bumps... so powerful that some months ago it moved me to tears. If you hate people with feelings, then lock yourself in your stoic-mind
@Okuda I once got a boner at a funeral. Just saying. It's all human nature after all. I went on to avoid the girl who was holding my arm and crying on my shoulder at that moment.
@Okuda Can't find my old comment so don't know what I said, I think it was about how people shout about it when this song makes them cry. It's fine if people get emotional while listening to songs, we all do it, including me.
There's no need to tell the world though, and I think a lot of it is attention seeking, it's like getting emotional to 'cool & underground' bands like Portishead makes them seem deep or something.
