Portishead - Glory Box (lyrics)

Portishead - Glory Box (lyrics). Album "Dummy" 1994. Go¡ Discs/London... composed by Geoff Barrow

[@alvisezanusso3102]

My respectable taste in music brought me here.

[@rhianhegarty3383]

My late love of respectful music brought me here

[@SacredRevel]

Me ee too

[@violetlunna]

How narcissistic those insignificant piece of humans are lmao

[@chrisdoll4514]

Me as well

[@aidygooner]

The TV show "2 weeks to live" and then my respectable music taste her got me here.

[@ginacampbell8766]

I'm a 61 year old black woman & have been jamming Portishead for 13 years now.

[@johnhenry524]

Us old white boys have been jamming to it too...

[@jennieosborne3530]

I love the rhythm of the song & the way it sounds.

[@DaisiesInVenus]

I would die just to see Portishead live! That would be a dream come true!

[@kevinsolares345]

Same

[@jakinablackbird]

💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@ZexaTY]

But if you die, you won't see it because you'll be dead.

[@Kayladrew01]

Loved portishead so much already. Then, as im watching ahs, I hear this fucking gold play as Queenie and Madison are making their entrance. And I'm like, HELL FUCKING YES!!!!! It made me so happy. My hearts happy. I love you AHS. I love you portishead.

[@raizelcortez3219]

That's one of my absolute favorite scenes in Apocalypse

[@Manufan-og1xg]

Got damn, this jam is SMOOTH. Feels like I'm in the 80s.

[@secrets_in_the_dark]

Manufan909 1 90’s actually

[@bradleygod8921]

Same feeling

[@fatman7817]

Um, no.

[@SacredRevel]

“From this time, unchained, we’re all looking at a different picture, through this new frame of mind, a thousand flowers could bloom, move over and give us some room. “ Came here for this. These lyrics come to my mind a lot, but I replace us with it sometimes. I think this song is about potential but for me it is also breaking through cognitive bias to make room for new ideas, new perspective I listen to this song for different reasons and at different times, but it’s definitely one of my top 20

[@amandastandalone]

I take this song as a very deep exploration of the fact that men are just as culpable as women for the fact of how we are viewed an treated, and when we give up the identity of trying to live to please men we face a lot of hardship as far as trying to find a 'reason' to even try to express femininity when it is interpreted as weakness and sometimes, even dangerous for our safety. I believe it is a call for men to move over and maybe step in our shoes for a minute.

[@TheRoarsbaby]

Amanda, I think it's also a coming of age moment for the lady who is moving on from many encounters to looking for 'the one' and is searching / begging for true intimacy and mutual vulnerability. It's always good and helpful to see both sides.....

[@Justin72walker]

I mean when she begs out to "give me a reason" this song drips sex like no other song I know... and I can't put my fumble finger on why or how, it's the whole, the cry for "tenderness" "no matter if you cry" that guitar solo at 2:07 is total bliss. "Sow a little tenderness, no matter if you cry." If I could ever find a woman strong enough to realy espouse these sentiments, then I could find a woman worthy of my love. Only problem is, most women think they want a Man like this, but when the rubber hits the road, they want to fall back on the old stereotype of grunt aggressive cave man. No matter how progressive a woman wants to think she is she still falls back on the old brute strongman, which is a hard roll for me to play. I just want to "Show a little tenderness" that's where my strength lies, I just want you to feel like you're a Woman.

[@jolenaddy]

Nah, I don't think most women fall for the "old brute strongman". That's a stereotype that some guys use to avoid looking into themselves. Tenderness is good. Making a lady do all the emotional labour in the relationship, not so much. Gender roles are a joke anyways.

[@tashawasha9472]

TheRoarsbaby Yes, that's what I get from it. Idk wth everyone else is hearing. But I'm definitely open to other interpretations.

[@sanjayvatekar3079]

you can't compare men to women ..women don't be beggars for long...men be beggars till death....that's also a big difference having a pussy

[@xangellegionx]

amazing song. Sends me to another world.

[@dongilchrist7385]

Great song, great lead guitar.

[@robertjean2347]

I heard this dong for the first time in 1994 and it is always a pleasure for me to hear it again 25 years later

[@renaysari6631]

Discovered this through watching AHS. So digging this song.

[@SchwarzAnthonyBoys18]

Maybe one of most beautiful songs ever. When i'm sad I hear this one with Sugarless from autolux.

[@Mallinity]

Classic song! Bristol was HOT in the 90s with Portishead, Massive Attack, Tricky etc.

[@eleonorelemonnier9277]

Big time ! I miss these 3 bands, they were really new and talented.

[@LouisandReneeCayer]

I absolutely love Tricky and no one ever knows who that is when I talk about him.

[@aprilrain9051]

Great song 🎶🎼 Heard it on AHS

[@marc93700]

[@daarmonet]

i found this song when i saw a pre op trans woman doing her makeup in like 2009 n this was the song she chose i forget her channel but i ran across her picture at some point and she seems so happy now

The 90s movie Stealing Beauty with Liv Tyler.. ❤️

[@keralawyer]

It's leaving space to mull over and bloom .. compassion... freedom from being typified .. deeper understanding ... Acceptance for being who you are instead of whom you should be . that is being pleaded by this lady .. if this is given to her by man then it will be mate forever relationship

nice song for a lap dance lol

Or a pole dance

[@Rider4130]

This is a fact!

[@azurephoenix3488]

This is the beauty of Portishead. They don't print their lyrics in their albums and leave it up to the listener to decide what each song is about. For me, this song represents the injustice of prostitution, from a prostitutes point of view she is crying out for something more from life. Sexual organs should not be used as commodity or for profit to pimps. It also represents the awakening of the mind; the realisation of one's reality, the preservation of the soul and survival. What keeps prostitutes in the 'business' of sex? Its 99% not for the 'love' of it but because they lack of options and education to earn money other ways and also due to oppression. We are moving forwards to equality and away from explotation of human trafficking but it is a massive global issue that is not seriously looked at - It is a failure.

[@aldig3935]

Like war,prostitution is part of humanity..the dark part ,that is.

[@BitchyBoxxy]

Kinda like hardcore and screamo is the same. Making inaudible loud sounds that definitely won't ruin your elder life voice. Leave it up to listener to maybe make out a word and message.

[@Ewenblake]

Lesbian power song. What is to be loved in men indeed.

not an exact song but somehow when i listen to this song, it reminds me of the moody blues. i know it's weird but.. there's no "but" actually i don't know why it reminds me of it :D

[@davena4Jesus]

Leo thr metal head brought me back. Man oh man did I miss this song. I still haven't heard the metal yet so I can't speak on it

This sample is the same of "Hell is Around the Corner" (Tricky)

[@ojulienne69]

This is completely the contrary : Tricky has copied this song from portishead. Personaly, I prefer the original!!

[@daekwondaprophet1121]

The sample is "Ike's Mood" by Isaac Hayes.
