[@kirs1064]

Age 17 in 1991 I was totally captured by the video and the sound. About to leave foster care as soon as I turned 18 to go it alone as a young adult into the unknown big wide world to live independently. Every lonely but strong purposeful stride Shara took as she walked those streets to the bitter sweet happy sad sound was symbolic of me at that time. It moved me back then and still moves me when I hear it today age 50. Still navigating through the streets of life. But then again, aren't we all.

[@alanlawlor3134]

As Shara Nelson passes he turns to follow her with a young child in blue denim, turning left down the side street in the background at 2:18, just as Robert Del Naja appears in a long green coat, standing by the telephone. As Shara passes the shop door RDN turns to follow her, then at 3:17 Andrew Vowles appears in a long dark coat, pushing a trolley, with both remaining in the background until the camera pans forward at 4:12

One of the many reasons why this is a classic is that no other song has ever sounded remotely like it: the strings, the beat, the lyrics, the scratching and weird percussion sounds, but, most of all, Shara Nelson's unique vocals. For me, it brings back memories of things that never happened.

[@moneyforthemonarch]

In my humble opinion, the most beautiful piece of popular music in the last 30 years. It somehow manages to be cold, warm, mechanic and human at the same time. The brilliance of this song is that it combined the tradition of soul music with what was then an amazingly forward-looking style of music without sounding like a gimmick or a cliché. The beat, the samples, the scratching, the strings, Shara Nelson's voice, that heartbreaking vocal and the production... Everything here is about subtlety, balance and everything fitting together at the right time. And it's truly heartbreaking that Shara Nelson didn't have the career she deserved when you know she co-wrote this masterpiece.

Hailing from Bristol UK, when I was a lad, back in the 1980s, we used to watch our local Hip Hop group The Wild Bunch perform live at tons of gigs most summers. That group went on to become Massive attack! Even after all that fame, they still played some small local festivals/clubs. There all sound guys!

for me, this is one of the most inventive and inspiring song of the last 30 years... not only for the lyrics, but for everything around it... the global mood, the strings, the chords sequence, the voice, the girl attitude on the movie, the one-sequence shot with street scenes, the lighting, one of my top 3 songs of all times...

[@stephenmcginley6705]

It's timeless one of my favourite tunes love it

[@benoitcornet8547]

This video has so much built in.. Everybody is caring or carrying something. Some are carrying a disability, heavy stuff, a message paper, a cart or just anger. Some are caring for others, like the kissing couple, the man & kid, the friends at the nail salon... and the singer walks through those opposites, without a pause and with an incredible command of her own voice. How could we see this being less than a masterpiece of subliminal messages... Just for that, this video can't ever be forgotten...

[@tamarafox7386]

Amen. Everyone is carrying around so much. I love this song. thank you~~~~~~~~~~~~

This track very cleverly captures such soaring, vulnerable heights of emotion due to the string's key in F major, which was a favourite amongst classical composers, such as Bach. A very intelligent production, which will never lose it's timeless appeal due to its diverse influences that span hip hop, soul, classical and electronica. It really touches deep into the soul of all who behold its achingly-beautiful majesty. A modern masterpiece.

Wow... way off the mark... this is ostensibly in minor.... d minor.... not even close to G major... also: nothing indicates that JSBach liked or used G major more than any other key... as for other classical composers..... Beethoven certainly favoured Eb major, this is well known and documented. Mozart used D major a lot, G major is coming in at 6th place....
