I never thought we’d get another Beth Gibbons album. This is the best news holy shit

[mindriot]

I’ve been a fan of Beth’s since the first Portishead album “Dummy” was released in 1994 when I was 31. I’m 60 now and she has never let my ears, soul and heart down. This song, “Floating On A Moment” is a brilliant song which is right up there with all the great Portishead songs (which they basically all are). Beth is an artist’s artist. Her voice will always be one the best and most unique. There’s no one like her. ✌🏽❤️🌬️🍃

Floating on a Moment

On the path
With my restless curiosity
Beyond life
Before me
A passenger
On no ordinary journey
It's one of a kind
Won't get left behind

I'm floating on a moment
Don't know how long
No one knows
No one can stay
All going to nowhere
All going
Make no mistake

Without control
I'm heading toward a boundary
That divides us
Reminds us
Travelling
On a voyage where the living
They have never been
Have never seen

I'm floating on a moment
Don't know how long
No one knows
No one can stay
All going to nowhere
All going
Make no mistake

All trying but can't escape
All going to nowhere
To afraid to be free

Not that I don't want to return
Not that I don't want to return
(All going to nowhere, to nowhere)
Oh, honestly
It's not that I don't want to return
(All going to nowhere, to nowhere)
It just reminds us
Not that I don't want to return
It just reminds us that all we have
All we have is here and now
(All going to nowhere, to nowhere)
But all we have is here and now
(All going to nowhere, to nowhere)
All we have is here and now
(All going to nowhere)
It just reminds us
All we have is here and now (All going to nowhere)

My sister passed away yesterday, and I was hoping to “get a signal” from her.
She was the one to introduce me to Portishead when I was just a kid and she made me understand how genious it was. And I have memories of both of us singing your songs together.
To see this song coming out on the same exact date of her departure, after so long, made me feel it was the sign I was looking for.
🤍

amazing that her voice still sounds as great as it did in the 90s

[stephanetiana]

This is proving to me I can still have faith in YouTube recommendations.

This is Lee Harris on drums, the old Talk Talk drummer and „wind maker“. The delivery of words: awesome. The song has a kind of folk-appeal where the simple meets the deep. On the kind side of „The Wicker Man“. Every line floats.

Feel sad about getting older, this song just made me cry. “all I have is here and now” got me.

[unattractiveashell]

I can’t believe we’re getting new Beth gibbons songs

[ricardovmonteiro]

I’m going to listen to this song for the rest of my life.

[lesliecorrea]

Beth’s voice is transcendental experience.

[ScoutSolis]

Beth Gibbons duetting with that Bass is stellar.

[songOmatic]

"It's not that I don't *want* to return..."

You said it, sister.

I've been a big fan of Beth Gibbons' voice since 2002, when I was 18 years old. I remember when you came to Brazil for the Tim festival. I was so young, and the tickets vanished so quickly that I couldn't fulfill my dream of seeing you live. I hope I'll have another chance!

[everydayjustme]

That's a breath of life in my soul. Welcome Back, Beth.

[JosephKnecht-wfjo]

we love you, Beth. you were a part of our adolescence and thus, UNIQUE. you are still awesome. your voice is still like a summer breeze, like a mother's lullaby....greetings from Greece!

[foxbasealpha]

I'm still obsessed with Out of Season. This is incredible 🤩

[mnmlst]

Oh my... One of the best voices of music, hands down.

[hennypenny]

There’s no better way than waking up and listening to Beth’s new music… I absolutely love it and cannot wait to hear the new album come May. The only thing that could make my day better would be to learn Beth is touring state side, not just in Europe.

Voice-Crush since 1991. And there she is again.❤
