[Dainelli100]

[jdogg1793]

indigo prophecy

[Shlogger]

Tricky owes her a lot for Maxinquaye...and here she is years later, still doing badass trip hop....

[TheRealNickMarino]

Sounds like, "Bang, Bang" - Nancy Sinatra.

[Kobeistite]

the weeknd really did great on this

[growinginapt]

Stephen Marley brought me here.

[MatroshWriter512]

It's really awesome!

[gothic77ful]

I love this song!

[2mnyshp]

WTF is "the worst blackhead" video doing in the related video list on the right side?

[coldharcash]

weeknd

[sebastubi]

Que canción...

[TwiggyJack]

Wow, I played Indigo Prophecy once over 4 years but when I heard this song now now it instantly struck me.

[RavanNightmaree]

I've found my soul mate.

[plint305]

fall" I'm love with a nigga like me,

[eni9109]

the weeknd brought me here. :D

[CanUHelpIt]

hypnotizing song

[ldcreateart11]

I've been listening to Martina since Tricky when she sang in his albums. Her voice is phenomenal as it is awesome.

[SuperiFox]

So glad the xx linked her and i already knew her... I can tell their 2nd album is going in the right direction.

[lilstarseed]

oh myyy gaaawd... i luv her voice..

[tommygunz45]

The Weeknd - The Birds Part 2 give it listen

[Horacioolozoya]

I'm here by Fahrenheit the game

Beautiful song!!!

And nice game :]

[soundseeker63]

Thumbs up if you knew who she was when she was just known as "Martine" back in '95.

[NazarovVv]

Благодаря ти много, че си качил тази песен. Хората се нуждаят от такава музика!

[KieBreezY]

Birds Part 2

[rombelteis]

STEPHEN MARLEY even sampled this!!

[lemarkg]

I discovered the song thanks to the videogame Farenheit.

I love the song, sweet voice.

[derpdumdum]

<3

[obstart]

thumbs up if fahrenheit leads you to this

[nddavi58]

@obstart the weeknd.

[scorpiDre]

I first heard her on the Primus song 'Dirty Drowning Man'. Had no idea who she was. Then again on Gorillaz' 'All Alone'. Still had no idea who she was. Then heard this on Indigo Prophecy(or Fahrenheit, depending on where you live) and found out how awesome she really is.

[zhiffko]

@scorpiDre Help enlighten the rest by placing this video on your facebook wall, twitt about it, post it in your blog or favorite forums. People really need to listen to this song.

[oldguyjeff666]

@scorpiDre get the Tricky album Maxinequaye she is amazing on it

[d3ejmz]

@oldguyjeff666 that's where I first heard her. Well, either on Maxinquaye or Don Solaris by 808 State. I bought both albums within 2 weeks of each other.

[603clothing]

@scorpiDre omg... listen to some Tricky man. she was amazing!! Christiansands... omg... she was insane awesome!

[FabreezeFlow21]

Man I love sampling, I might have never heard her voice if it wasn't for The Weeknd, can you really hate that he helped spread good music with good music?

[zhiffko]

@FabreezeFlow21 I agree. Making a song popular, helping it reach more people... there shouldn't be anything bad about that. A real artist should be happy whenever someone has the chance to enjoy his work.

[MrFabolous169]

x... and... that... o...

[ms13694]

I came here after playing Fahrenheit

[EDDIEinWAR]

@ms13694

mah_nigga.jpg

[SaintDurham]

The singer from Mazzy Star also has a similar dreamy voice if anyone is interested.

[NoyabrNovember]

@SaintDurham You are soo right! Mazzy Star, Massive Attack, and there are a couple of songs by Madreblu which feel quite close to "Sandpaper Kisses"

[MatroshWriter512]

Fahrenheit... 

[TheJu206]

The weeknd is an awsome artist but dont shit on someones music ,,,saying thumbs up for The weeknd..After his producer used "her voice "as a sample..she deserves credit for her originality

[tairit11]

Reminds me of Sia

[BKillerUZ]

Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy FTW!

[nikkijjang]

Weeknd brought me here : )

[colombiatm]

thumbs up if you knew about this song before The Weeknd.

[konadewdeluxe]

[zhiffko]

@konadewdeluxe Jacket.

[fuckedfish1]

@konadewdeluxe wtf!?

[jasperwoods]

@konadewdeluxe Angelina Jolie

[kingmomo010]

to slow for me .... but shout out to the weekend for sending me here ...

[lilshaggy12]

Stephen Marley also sampled this song its called "your gonna leave" it's a pretty good sample

[leslieobour23]

the weeknd mixed this perfectly!

[colbyt9388]

Sandpaper kisses, Papercut bliss

Don't know what this is, but it all leads to this:

You're gonna leave Her

You have deceived Her

Oh Just a girl (Just a bird).......

[abvgddjification]

FAHRENHEIT <3

[shum65]

Haunting.... :)

[LourdesBlueBlood]

@davematt678 Mmm..not really. And thats not very specific.

[LAmellFINEasHELL]

Beautiful.

[antking1117]

i knew it.

[zxcvbnmmasdfghjkl]

Xo till we overdose

[Myrskism]

I played this over and over in Fahrenheit..

[VGSensation]

@Myrskism Same :) Glad I'm not alone!

[kimonap]

Fahrenheit <3

[AngEalsh]

Indigo Prophecy <3

[jemerbay]

ovoxo. plague.

[lovemeKjeS]

OVOXO.

[johnnyandtony1]

Thumbs up if The Weeknd brought you here

[Bolerophon]

@johnnyandtony1 The Weeknd?? is there some remix of it?

[TehPure]

xo

[LourdesBlueBlood]

Can anyone recommend to me more specific songs like this?

[dcmack1984]

@LourdesBlueBlood check into trip-hop artists such as Portishead, Morcheeba, etc.

[LourdesBlueBlood]

@dcmack1984 Thats why I wanted specifics..I dont feel like sifting through all the songs. Too tedious.

[dcmack1984]

@LourdesBlueBlood There's so much to explore... if you use last.fm, grooveshark, pandora, slacker, or similar, you could actually begin a radio station from this song. I did one based on "Humming" by Portishead a few years ago, which REALLY opened my ears. For one example, check out "Horse Tears" by Goldfrapp. Almost sounds like it could be a Bond theme song. Or perhaps "Underwater Love" by Smoke City. Perhaps "Heidi Bruehl" by Tosca which can be found on my channel.

[zhiffko]

@LourdesBlueBlood Now, my answer may not be quite what you expect, but whenever I listen to this song I always somehow relate it to Porcelain by Moby, Damaged by Plumb (the rmx in my profile) World on Fire by Sarah McLochlan (the rmx)... Not exactly the songs you will be forwarded to by Pandora. =)

[LourdesBlueBlood]

@zhiffko Mmm, not quite "depressing" (I guess you could say) enough. But thanks:) I probably should have specified the feeling of the song I wanted too.

[PUTYPLATZ]

@LourdesBlueBlood also Stephen Marley's ''Your're Gonna Leave''

[gussjantaman]

@LourdesBlueBlood Besides other songs by her, try artists such as tricky, massive attack, portishead, hooverphonic, sneaker pimps, goldfrapp, bjork and seach the web for "Trip Hop" as a music gender. Another good tip is the album Gran Turismo by The Cardigans (but just this album by them). Regarding specific songs, how about sonic youth's golden blue, or Nouvelle Vagues' version of the song Bella Lugosi is Dead. For now i'll stop here, good luck! cheers

[tomof10fomot]

@LourdesBlueBlood check out Massive Attack. they have alot of similiar sounding stuff.

[LourdesBlueBlood]

@tomof10fomot Thats not very specific.

[na2design]

@LourdesBlueBlood

Assuming you already now songs by Tricky - such as Overcome and hollow? and Massive Attack...whom tricky was also part of for a while

[TheTzaya]

@LourdesBlueBlood You could always experiment a little with Massive Attack, Portishead, more of Martina Topley. Also some Radiohead albums have a similair atmosphere.

[LourdesBlueBlood]

@TheTzaya Dont really have time to experiment.. Thats why I wanted specific songs.

[TheTzaya]

@LourdesBlueBlood You could always experiment a little with Massive Attack, Portishead, more of Martina Topley. Also some Radiohead albums have a similair atmosphere.

[HeatherLynHeidemann]

@TheTzaya Yay for Portishead, I agree... I actually found this song after listening to My Brightest Diamond - Gone Away

[xxdesshizzlezxx]

@LourdesBlueBlood the birds part 2 by the weekend

[kuriosity89]

@LourdesBlueBlood "The Birds (Part 2)" by The Weeknd samples this song and puts a very interesting twist on it. It's definitely worth checking out if you want more songs like this.

[MrLoveLounge]

@LourdesBlueBlood maby my page has something for ya?

[TheAPC91]

@LourdesBlueBlood Maybe, Massive Attack - Dissolved Girl.

[lorangelis7]

@LourdesBlueBlood Maybe you will like "Black Milk" and "Paradise Circus" from Massive Attack, "Leave Alone" from Natalie Imbruglia, and "Sandpaper Kisses" on Someplace Simple from Martina TB

[2sttep]

@LourdesBlueBlood The weeknd bird's part 2

[HarlequinxMasquerade]

@LourdesBlueBlood Blue Foundation is a good choice. Try "Black S" and "Shine". =)

[KuanYuh]

very sexy song. Love it!

[chipcityls]

It wont be long before she falls outta love - xo

[GhibliOriginals]

Thumbs up if you used to wander in Carla's appartment not playing but just listening this song in loop : )

[crazynsweet807]

already heard this sample in stephen marleys song..but once i heard the weeknd sample it i had to find out what it was!

[Love4DC]

The Weeknd brought me here. Great music.

[TulioKuran]

I loved this music,i meet playing Fahrenheit

[HighestRatedCommentr]

XO till we overdose...

[rightguard88]

the weeknd

[mlhayes91]

Shout out to both The Weeknd and Stephen Marley for paying homage to this song. Amazing track.

[zxcvbnmmasdfghjkl]

THE BIRDS PART 2

[LaydiiRedz]

Thumbs up if you came here after hearing The Birds pt. 2 by The Weeknd

[gorfimus]

Thumbs up for The Weeknd.

[Te4RHyP3]

@gorfimus why him ?

[ApolloKaos2392]

@Te4RHyP3 He sampled her singing for his song The Birds Part 2

[harajukenene305]

@gorfimus lmao i looked up tooo!!!!

thats crazyy

[tawari6]

What a beautiful song...

[Fantezism]

Yeah, and another thing. This song is featured in Fahrenheit - Indigo Prophecy, a supercool PC game with many great soundtracks. This version of the song was most definitely taken from the game.

[zhiffko]

@Fantezism Hm, and it seems it is different from the album version. Everything starts to make sens now...

[remus9111]

@Fantezism By any chances, numele tău e Ana? Just checking smth.

[Fantezism]

@remus9111: What ? 

[remus9111]

@Fantezism Nothing, I took you for someone else, sorry. :)

[Fantezism]

Anyway, as much as I love u2b the comments you people post really put me off. Can't you just enjoy the song without having to criticize something or someone ? So Martina Topley is black whereas the chick in the picture is white...SO WHAT ?! Give it a rest ! It's not like you're going to render your life meaningful by arguing about how "stupid" it is to upload a picture of a white chick to go with a song performed by a black female singer. Seriously, just let it go !

[zhiffko]

@Fantezism We are just bored at work, man. (At least I am.)

[Fantezism]

GUYS ! You keep talking about the white chick in the picture but fail to notice the flying BIRDS in the background...this song is about a swinger whom his girlfriend is metaphorically referring to as " just a bird ". Do you get it now ? The chick in the picture is the girl and the BIRDS behind her are her former lovers ( whoa! she had quite a few !) who dumped her and FLEW AWAY. Do you get it now ?

[zhiffko]

@Fantezism Finally someone with a little artistic vision! Thank you, sir! I voted you up.

[tseng61]

Where did you get this version? It sounds way different than the one off of the album "Some Place Simple". The strings on this version sound significantly more pronounced and the vocals aren't the same. Is this a remix or something?

[zhiffko]

@tseng61 Don't know. I thought it was the album version.

[Annica88]

@tseng61 This is the first version of "Sandpaper Kisses" from her first album "Quixotic". The version from "Some Place Simple" is the acoustic version of this song.

[ORENGEcarot]

cool song :)

[haji117saya]

sooo relaxing and whole nother world stuff thumbs up!!

[FaLaTiCi]

mmmm CaRla <3

[karp821]

neat

[MELiaraFTW]

this song brought back so many memories ^^ fahrenheit was an amazing game with amazing music

[2mnyshp]

thumbs up for indigo prophecies

[fredolepopo]

Yesterday, I was walking around the montreux jazz festival when i saw her. I just asked her: "hello, are you martina?"

"Yes, I am."

"Oh, jeeeez."

It was the most beautiful day of my life.

[stupidvideos21]

Stephen Marley brought me here.

[mytime2shine13]

Ok so i'm new to this Artist. What does the white chick wit the black birds have to do wit the girl who actually sangs the song?

[zhiffko]

@mytime2shine13 It is a symbol of something so deep that noone can understand. You have to feel it. Or if you don't, you have to pretend that you feel it. Otherwise the others may accuse you of profanity.

[mytime2shine13]

@zhiffko The white chick is a symbol of depth that no one on earth understands? Hold on are u tryin to MIND FUCK me? Cuz what i was askin was why didn't u just put a picture of TOPLEY? Why the White CHICK? Like if i post a song by busta rhymes but put a picture of a frog playin tennis, its irrelevant. RIGHT?

[zhiffko]

@mytime2shine13 Right. UNLESS it is a symbol of something so deep that no one can understand. Then it is not only relevant, but in fact is is a masterpiece and you can sell it on e-bay.

[mytime2shine13]

@zhiffko Pass the weed this way.

[Sh8amer]

@zhiffko ummm i think u added this photo because she looks like carla!!!

[Adnezal]

@mytime2shine13 You have no creative perception, what-so-ever. THE PIC IS FIGURATIVE and goes well with the theme of the song. It is like posting a Busta Rhymes song with a pic of a gold chain or something else that goes well with his theme! It's just a picture get over it and get off of YouTube ignoramus.

[AthenaTRAINWRECK]

@mytime2shine13 You are very ignorant and have no artistic value to life. What is the meaning of life if you can't expand your mind? Nothing.

[mytime2shine13]

@AthenaTRAINWRECK Bitch please i'm a visual artist and a producer. Shut up when grown folks are talkin, cuz u still didn't answer my questions just tryin to be a fuckin lame.

[tseng61]

@AthenaTRAINWRECK The meaning of life... hmm, deep. If you mean intrinsically then unfortunately, there really isn't any. Of course you can always "create" or "apply" for lack of a better word, a meaning to your own life, however. Otherwise we're just kinda here, waiting to die someday, having fun perhaps, entertaining ourselves, distracting ourselves in the meantime. Then, after you die? Probably nothing, and to me, that's one of the scariest concepts ever. I just can't get over it.

[MRNOVEMBER1234]

Good version but I like Stephen Marley version Better

[Sh8amer]

she looks kinda like carla!!

[theTinule1]

Horniness brought me here.

[Pencilshavings1]

[tiskaroo]

[verigar]

This goes to the favorites because of its incredible feeling

[SuperForzee]

[Nuts8769]

Einfach nur Geil!!!

[franknilop]

thumbs up if you don't want to thumbs up but you read thumbs up and now your confused cause this is a run on sentence because I'm educated but lazy

[ThePlaided]

thumbs up if you think Tricky's new vocalist Francesca sucks...she got no singing style at all!

[zhiffko]

@ThePlaided Hm, I should check it out...

[cocoisloco0623]

Can someone explain to me why it matters where you first heard something? I really don't see what that has to do with anything at all. This song is good no matter where the fuck you listen to it, so everybody chill the fuck out and listen to the music. :)

[zhiffko]

@cocoisloco0623 We just want to share, man. We just want to share.

[DeathShamans]

Sandpaper kisses, papercut bliss, Don't know what this is, but it all leads to this:

You're gonna leave Her, You have deceived Her, Just a girl. Ooh just a girl with featherweight curls, To expose all she knows, you play like tease, Just a girl with featherweight curls. To expose all she knows you play like tease. You're gonna leave Her. You have deceived Her, Just a girl. I want the soul of something simple to take home with me. The world as someplace simple it's my home you see.

[dakruo15]

thumbs up if you heard martina live and know this song because of her cds. cheers.

[zhiffko]

@dakruo15 You are not going to get many thumbs up, I'm afraid.

[TheBossNawgga]

indigo prophecy was an awsome game. i prefer it over heavy rain

first thing i did was look up this song after finishing the game
