I will listen to this band forever. My grandchildren will hear this and be like " Hey, this is Portishead😀 Gramma listens to this❤" 😂😂

[SethShaw]

Trip hop is underrated . And Beth Gibbons voice is so coldly innocent. 

[drivebybodypierce]

Portishead is basically the essence of electronic music. They’re what “the Pixies” were for Alternative Music. Just untouchable, and will always be pioneers instead of just common rock stars.

[t.c.bramblett]

that voice is a human treasure. We must preserve it somehow

[frogisis]

All Portishead songs sound like the personification of some kind of incomprehensibly vast abstract cosmic force trying to sing a lullaby for tiny, finite mortals, but this one especially sounds like something you'd pick up like impossibly coming from inside a supermassive black hole.
Real "guys I don't think humans are supposed to be here..." energy.
Literally "sublime, " in the original sense of the word. I absolutely love it. I have this song (along with a lot of other Portishead) on my playlist for soaring around the universe in Space Engine and it takes the experience to an entirely different level. "Divine upper reaches / Still holding on / This ocean will not be grasped" indeed...

This is one of the rarest moments in comments section when you hear praises for the drummer rather than lead singer or guitarist. Of course Clive Deamer is very good.

Takes me back to life in Bristol - many many years ago.

[davidhertz]

Man, her live voice is very similar to the original song. This is rare.

[HazeFace]

Gather round children...this is what perfection sounds like.

[steveo]

The sound of Portishead is so relevant in 2021 lockdown

[jasminacortezonline]

I am new fan. I found this on my Apple Music because I always randomly add new music. I’m so glad to find this band 11 years after this song was posted!

[allonbackuth]

Beth.. what can you say without sounding like a broken record.
Perfect.

[MrJeffshaver]

That drummer is a beast. he makes the cool sounding beat LOOK cool

[jsphotos]

Inside your pretending
Crimes have been swept aside
Somewhere where they can forget
Divine upper reaches
Still holding on
This ocean will not be grasped
All for nothing
Did you really want
Did you really want
Did you really want
Did you really want
Refuse to surrender
Strung out until ripped apart
Who dares, dares to condemn
All for nothing
Did you really want
Did you really want
Did you really want
Did you really want

Best Version For me
For an amazing song (my favourite of Portishead)

[getthoseskills]

Amazing band. Very unique.
Portishead really got me into trip hop and the likes of
Massive Attack, UNKLE, Sneaker Pimps, Tricky, DJ Krush, DJ Shadow, HTDA, ALLFLAWS

[Thomas_]

This so is so beautiful i can't describe it with

[joeip]

You have a very special gift ... plz release more albums ... I can listen to your voice til The day I die

[dmdm]

I think I heard this in the 90s and is still one of my favorite tracks.

[CHEA]

What a tune! And a great Album
I caught a 'Live' Portishead gig on the radio, Years ago
It was One of The Best things I've ever heard, ..
