  • The Kopyfuck will be the cause of the death of youtube!!!!!!

  • sigan asi tontos weones de copydickright y nos vamos a ir de youtube uno por uno.....

  • me cago en los copyright fasos de youtube

  • no sound :(

  • HACKERS!!....?? W T F NERD

  • Family respect love honour caring and protection ! Tony x

  • It's not popmusic, but art!

  • great song. heard it when "hackers" came out and loved it ever since. that movie had a fantastic sound track

  • Buen video, gracias.

    Awsome video, thanks.

  • IM OLD GREG

  • not the usual sound of massive attack but it is very good :D

  • They like to mix it up - if you manage to listen to a few of their albums they've collaborated with lots of people, this is the singer from Everything But The Girl. Their music changed as members of the band DJ'd, or set out on their own, e.g. Tricky. Good that a band/group surprises you, otherwise there's no point keeping buying their albums. I think you'd agree.

  • I can't believe this song wasn't on any of the Hackers OST CD's! I had to track down the single years ago. Killer tune!

  • speechless ... wow

  • brunops1 you have to much time on your hands,just enjoy the song!

  • I always think of 'hackers' when they play this at the scene where dade is using kates cool computer.

  • That movie had a GREAT soundtrack.

  • the hell you say lord nikon. truly elite (31337) .. now i know what i'm gonna watch tonight. not exclusively, but because of that movie, I am the software developer I am today

  • oh yea, im obtaining my computer science degree because i want to be a programmer. Is that field worthwhile getting into?

    p.s. im not really elite cus if i was i wouldn't be broadcasting it lol

  • yea man that's what i went to school for. although, truth be told, i was forced to take a break with 5 classes left and i haven't been back. i ended up mixing what i learned about software engineering with web development, although i didn't learn any web development at the university. so to sum everything up. learn how to be a good object oriented programmer as well as a good web developer. you don't need to be an artist, i'm not. it's really good to know how to slice a photoshop design into css

  • tres belle vidéo avec une belle mélodie de Massive Attack....une de mes préférées...j'adore

  • d´accord

  • this song is absolutely haunting...massive attack have made some amazing tunes, that just touch something deep in me..love them, and love Tracy Thorns vocals

  • Beautiful...

  • WUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  • mesmerizingly beautiful. an exquisite vision of loveliness in an ugly world.

  • Masterpiece!

  • truly is!

  • ... Note the ball movement (4:06) and you'll know it. It's also interesting how they edit the end (5:37 until the end) when we clearly see the elevator guy's coat falling against the backwall (gravity never lies) at the same time the elevator is going "down" and then it merges with the final take to the street, apparently in one single shot

  • THIS song represents life blood? Family. Respect honor, being there and PROTECTING. A Song with depth , meaning and Life. Cho Tony x

  • People

    Besides everything that has been deservedly said about the greatness of this music as well as for te group (M.A.) and Tracy, I'd like to remember you all about the clever video editing because I hope you realized that apart the scenes in the corridor ALL THE ROOM SCENES WERE SHOT HORIZONTALLY AND NOT VERTICALLY,meaning: the characters were actually standing or lying in the backwall of each room - the actual floor - and not onto the "floor" of the fake building...

  • Makes me shiver every time i hear it.... stand out prformance and sound.... thanx tracy

  • Not forget 2 mention the brillant guys from massive attack.... have seen the band 3 month ago in a very special concert in cologne.... and i will never forget this one!!!

  • doin' so much harm...doin' so much damage

  • heavenly song!.. just for interstellar travel.

  • Sometimes it would feel good to be protected.

  • Great song, takes ages to start like ugh bored

  • She could eat a little..

  • This song added on to my nostalgia back when I was in Japan.

    This reflects back so many different happy memories of mine in my minds eye..

  • fuck everything

    you don't get music of this quality now

    vocals, production-everydamnthing

  • I agree with you, tottaly, this is just beautiful :D

  • I stand in front of you

    I'll 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

  • I stand in front of you I'll take the force of the blow Protection I stand in front of you I'll take the force of the blow Protection She's a girl and you're a boy Sometimes you look so small, look so small You've got a baby of your own When your baby's grown, she'll be the one To catch you when you fall
  • I stand in front of you

    I'll take the force of the blow

    Protection

    I stand in front of you

    I'll take the force of the blow

    ProtectionYou're a girl and i'm a boy (x4)

  • Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter Just runnin' round and round, helter skelter And I've leaned on you for years Now you can lean on me And that's more than love, that's the way It should be Now I can't change the way you think But I can put my arms around you That's just part of the deal That's the way I feel I put my arms around you
  • why did they not make a video of the entire song

  • Fucking Amazing Song.

  • has to be one of my favorite songs by them. her voice is amazing. puts me at ease everytime i listen to it.

    and a great song to smoke too, btw....

  • This reminds me of my trip to Scotland 10 years ago. It just has that feel ...

  • A very mellow sound,gets into every nerve and fibre and sends chills.

    Loved her voice in 1984....and loving it now

  • Xcelent!

  • Tracy voice!!!! Wow!!!!

  • Aaaah, illusion destroyed...always imagined a black beauty singing this...anyway...love the song...really, really one of my favourites....love the sound of the rain...music^^

  • That's Tracy Thorn(e), of "Everything But The Girl" fame. That beautiful alto! She did her own protecting when her longtime boyfriend and musical partner Ben Watt became deathly ill with Churg-Strause disease. He wrote a very moving book about the experience, "Patient". She's fantastic, isn't she?

  • Song reminds me of walking in San Francisco streets in the rain, especially Chinatown area.

  • Ohne Schnitt, Ohne Worte. Einfach brilliant

  • I used to get out of bed early just to watch the clip on television. It definitely is one of my favorite songs (and groups) !

    The voice and music go so well with eachother, delightfull !

  • This must be one of the best songs ever.

  • One of the best songs that I have ever heard in my life. "I've leaned on you for years now you can lean on me, thats more than love thats the way it should be." Genious

  • amo esta cancion como a mi vida!! es lo maximo

  • 5 Sterne

  • you are off your nut!!

  • massive is so massive!!!! out of this era!!!

  • in the kind words of virgin mary, come again?

  • I love the movie Snatch too.

  • woo one of my fav songs!

  • Great tune, a modern classic and what a video!!! How did they make it?!?! I know you are all going to tell me steady cam and so on on but I am not talking about the technique of it, I'm talking of the inspiration and how they mapped out out every shot. Brilliant. Kubrick would be proud!

  • hi i directed this video. it was fairly simple

    but thanks for your comments. And in fact i have spoken to Stanley Kubrick about it! he didnt like it

  • Lol! He was probably just p**sed off he didn't make it him self! It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Gondry.

  • No, you bastard, for I am Stanley Kubrick's ghost, and I love this video. Therefore, you are false.

  • :( this brings back so many memories, that in my current state make my start to cry.

    Massive and Tracy = Golden Spiral aka (perfect)

  • ein one cut video, wie unfinished symphathy, echt tricky und einfach artwork. ein kamera-move.

  • Got damn that woman can sing. SOB>

  • It's Tracey Thorn from Everything but the Girl

  • i love this song,but it makes me feel sad,because i have no 1,and we all need protection sometimes.

  • check her new duet with us on here! :) it's called overture

  • One of the best songs ever produced

  • is that nicholas lyndhurst singing?

  • I really miss this era of musics. The dribble we have nowadays barely fills the void music is supposed to fill.

    Guess the same could be said through any generational movement.

  • hey haey hey cmon now. hip hop and trip hop are just as good today.

  • gunit thats exactly write 90's music was pure when it was good

  • Why isn't this on the Hackers OST? ...

  • Great!

  • One of their best, ever. It remains as fresh today as it was back then.

  • Over the years have got plenty of work done listening to this gem...love it!

  • good old times..when music was pure..love ya forever!

  • "Now I can't change the way you feel

    But I can put my arms around you"

    This song is so deep...

  • @ 4:27 - what are the colourful things the guy is playing with? the ones going round in opposing circles?

  • I had that toy at the beginning when I was a little kid, I remember those sounds so well. I've forgotten what the toy actually was though..

  • timeless

  • real lonely life

  • wow! The song and video are both really good

  • I need to be killed because i forget this song..thnx for posting, its more than brillant.

  • see this is whats fuckin wrong with these thick cunts in music today all they're intrestedin is selling the most selling out arenas instead of being fuckin inovators massive attack push the fuckin envelope everytime they put something out long live the wild bunch

  • esactly, i listen to mostly 80s or 90s music (and im only 20, so its not like its was what was around when i was an adult and thats what im use to) because i think it has more merit and more thought/feeling in it - music these days is just shallow and wishy-washy and generic - love these old 90s tunes!

  • 70's are good too ^^

  • so right on mate shame so few agree.753531501

  • The video is shot in one shoot and they what you see is ppl lying down, you can detect it in the last scene when he is in the elevator, his coat slides down on the "wall", which actually is the floor. They used mirrors to make the corridors.
