  • I like how the comments went from talking about a great band and song into a "i know more about drugs then you do" competition. grow up guys and enjoy portisheads brilliance

  • @berrypickers 'The Day The Earth Stood Still.'

  • @RamaRendezvoo

    We're showing our age here:-)

  • @berrypickers So long as we don't -act- our age:) There are several elements from 'Forbidden Planet' throughout this video too, but the opening gives us a good shout out from TheDayTheEarthStoodStill. That da'ing Id.

  • @RamaRendezvoo

    Your right. I took up motocross about 3 years ago at the tender age of 46. I'm pish but I love it. Long live the id

  • @berrypickers Scot are you? I loved motocross a long time ago, but gave it up for just scramblin' all over the same general area of southern Arizona & northern Mexico (Sonora)... but by myself or with a few buddies - that way we just got to haul ass all over the desert hills without having to play by anybody's rules... then it was off into town for a beer each evening :)

  • fucking badass!

  • Portishead are the musical equivilent of a hitchcock movie, intense, dark and timeless

  • This music, help me so much to have inspiration to compose new music on my piano. This band make me have new feelings.

  • how old is this song? kinda old for me!

  • @Fsk1125 I thought they did it in the 90s - if that's old for you, wait til you hear of some guys called the Beeeeetles... they were 'round during the mid-paleolithic - not bad, but 1/2 of 'em are already dead though :)

  • @RamaRendezvoo 90s is not old! beside the song is never die.... thank you by the way!!!

  • Scary, sexy, dark, and relaxing. God I love this song.

  • this is trip hop!!

  • Drugs Drugs Drugs blah blah blah. Can you fools not see the deeper meanings and beauty to this work?

  • Uwielbiam narastanie i 'wybuch' w 1:34.

    Nie ma kawałka którego nie lubię Portishead, są doskonali jak Tool.

  • Scary, dark , erotic sound ...

  • she looks hawt in this vid

  • chino xl poison pen uses this beat

  • im mad that this was an actress and not beth gibbons

  • But that's not beth gibbons... i'm in agreement with everyone else, it's a fantastic video but that's not their singer.

  • I adore this song -- seeing the video has made me love it even more -- whoever did this vid, cheers!

  • the soundtrack to the utter pointlessness of existence

  • such elegance .. a very dark elegant way to express feelings :|

  • this music reminds me of the music you'd want to listen to if you shot up too much heroin in an abanoned building

  • @LarsTallica not really u lame ass junkie

  • @LarsTallica I think if you had actually done heroine you wouldn't make lame jokes about it, it's an addictive life destroying vile chemical, I've seen people destroy their lives with it and if anyone here was ever planning to try it, let it be known that once you try it you're addicted, I don't understand why anyone would want to take that fucking shit . Stick to more constructive drugs like weed, it's alot safer and alot more fun . Plus nobody's ever died from smoking it .

  • @MrChristophe156 the addictive potential is strong, but that's not to say you try it once and you're addicted.  and i speak from experience.

    either way, i think the point of his comment was to emphasize how dark, visceral and mesmerizing this song is. which are all similar experiences to using a drug in certain environments. however, one does not need any kind of substance to truly experience this music.

  • @dteknikal I can enjoy any music without drugs. I was meerly expressing a point that heroine kills people, weed has never killed anyone. In fact it has been used for many other things besides a mental stimulant, for example, Hemp ( the stem of the plant ) has been used for over a thousand years to make, rope, clothing, polish, preservitive for materials such as wood, metal, paint and has even been used for the sails on boats. What's heroine ever did that was so great ?

  • @MrChristophe156 whats heroin ever did thats was so great??have a smoke then you will know

  • @eyewoodsay You're obviously a retard who knows nothing about drugs or the affects that certain substances have on the mind and body and your just some fat nerd who's created a profile to make a pathetic alter ego to try and be cool in front of a bunch of complete strangers,hence that is why I have nothing to retort bak to you about that dumbass statement you made .Please do yourself and your family a favour and go jump of a bridge, this is written peacefully .

  • @MrChristophe156 the only thing i lsay NO to is drug hysteria...williiam boroughs once said....your remarks..pathetic alter ego??..fat nerd?tryin 2 bee cool in front of strangers?made me laugh... sounds like your stressin out...have you run out of the harmless? skunk?you swear by....Bet you woodnt say that 2 my face mr christopher........p,s fancy a bum?

  • @eyewoodsay Sorry I didn't understand a word of that, I don't speak moron .

  • @MrChristophe156 no drug it`s lethal unless u make it so ... it`s up to if ur gonna be ocasional user or a complete junkie ... i tried heroin a couple of times (smoked) and others more but as i sayd the first time its up to u :)

  • @hydraulix25 That's complete bullshit you're talking, want to know why ? Because the addictive potential of heroin is lethal due to the adverse affect it has on the mind and the euphoric affect it has on the body. It has been scientifically proven to be a lethal and highly addictive hallucinogen that once inserted into the blood stream it basically attacks the adrenaline system and the mind convinces the body that it is a neccesity, nobody has ever just tried heroin once,I know this first hand .

  • @MrChristophe156 herion aint no hallucinogen man, i dono what the fuck your getting hahaha

  • @beauevans Heroin makes you hallucinate ask any addict at your local clinic or counseling office and they will tell you exactly the same thing .

  • @MrChristophe156 i dont need to ask an addict, i was addicted to oxycottin for 2 years and herion for 4. it doesnt make you hallucinate. meth can if you stay up for days at a time but herion deffinatley not. its an opiate not a hallucinogen, this is a fact... if it made you hallucinate it wouldnt be so addictive, hence mushrooms, acid, peyote and other halluciogens aret addictive whatsoever. its completley different. i hate arguing on youtube but your wrong

  • @beauevans die junkie piece of shit,. just die.

  • @fakyuol notice i said was, that was in the past. im clean now. fuck you. enjoy the brilliance of Portishead and shut the fuck up

  • @MrChristophe156 i've never done heroin in my life and i didnt mean it to be a real expression on the current state of drugs in america.

  • @MrChristophe156 You're an ignorant child, weed can be destructive too.

  • @Ward8668

    You are an ignorant child. No it can't

  • @necrogore5049 Your view that weed is perfect and causes no problems is very naive. It is a drug whether you care to believe it or not, and does indeed cause mental dependence. I have smoked weed in the past and am in no way trying to prevent use of a very powerful yet gripping drug. It is not of course physically destructive in terms of the effects on your body like heroin or meth is; though it still causes lung damage. Also it was immature of you to copy what I was saying and then repeat.

  • @Ward8668

    I'm just trying to make a point. And whatever your views are, are pretty much irrelevant. And weed has been proven not to be habit forming. So I don't care whatever you think you know. I am more interested in what you actually know. Cause people tend to have a lot opinions, but they really don't know what they are talking about. It dependents more on the people who are smoking it, and what condition they are in.

  • @Ward8668 hahahahahahaha xD !!! Good one .

  • @MrChristophe156 Fool.

  • @LarsTallica lmfaooooooooooooooooooooo

  • @LarsTallica I did kid...I did!

  • @LarsTallica Hahahah

  • @LarsTallica This is the music I listen to because I wish I had shot up too much heroin in an abanoned building just to never see your comments on youtube.

  • @LarsTallica glad to know i'm not the only one, haha

  • @LarsTallica haha i like that... well, as opposed to shooting up too much heroin in a warm 'n friendly starpucks i guess - well, what with the abandoned building being way cooler than starblotz.

  • midsomer murders. am i right?

  • anybody know the actress miming in the video????, can't find her anywhere

  • Did anybody else notice that when she stabbed him, she used the blunt side... Then when it zooms out, the blunt side is facing outwards??...

  • @LadyKottonmouth420 Both sides are blunt - I don't think there's a mistake

  • great song, nice video...

  • Best music video I ever seen in my life.
