Portishead - Numb (Official Video)

[@larrytan73]

Portishead sounds like no other group across any genre! One of the greatest bands of all-time!

[@hahamasala]

I love Portishead of course and there's another band called Lamb that you might also like. kzbin.info

Very much like Coco rosie

[@levetbyck]

Boom Symprise

[@mavenofmacau6391]

felt their sound was too repetitive for my liking. when they hit they hit but not enough variety in their style. great to put 3-4 songs on various mix tapes though. yes i'm aging myself with that comment

[@delboy83uk]

Beth Gibbons has an incredible voice, it's beautiful but haunting at the same time. Dummy continues to blow my mind with its genius, the melancholy strikes a chord deep inside.

[@antonellaleiva3607]

I love the sound of her voice in Seven Months

[@dethkon]

I was convinced this was one of the bleakest albums from Bristol. Then I heard Maxinquaye, and I thought this has to be it. Then I heard Portishead (1997), and I was pleading for mercy. Then I heard Mezzanine and my soul finally died, somewhere between the kick and the snare. This is beautiful, frighteningly dark music.

[@davehowarth2270]

Fell asleep to it the other night, not listened to it for years, forgot what a fantastic album it was, it is. Fantastic. Don’t know what they are doing now. Hopefully still producing. 👍👍👍👍👍

I'm ever so lost I can't find my way Been searchin', but I have never seen A turnin', a turnin' from deceit 'Cause a child, roses light Tried to reveal what I could feel I can't understand myself Anymore 'Cause, I'm still feelin' lonely Feelin' so unholy 'Cause a child, roses light Tried to reveal what I could feel I'm lonely It just won't leave me alone Oh, no I'm foolin' somebody A faithless path I roam Deceiving, to breathe this secretly The silence, the silence, I can't bear 'Cause a child roses light Tries to reveal what I could feel And this loneliness It just won't leave me alone Oh, no And this loneliness It just won't leave me alone A lady of war A lady of war

This song leaves me anything but numb, you can hear it in Beth's voice, she's conflicted, hurt and angry yet sorrowful; emotionally complex and that's why I love her so.

One of my best friends introduced me to Portishead like 25 years ago he gave me this album on an audio cassette, I have listened to this over and over again for hours, amazing group. It touched something at the bottom of my soul, so deep... Nowadays I cant listen to this kind of music, cause my heart died like, 15 years ago. I can listen only to grime and UK hiphop today. But I suddenly remembered that...

Agreed her voice goes perfect with melchonic beat!!👌🏽💥💯💯

[@harimuzumdar8269]

Thank you, oh, thank you, Portishead! Ms.Gibbon's voice is not only haunting as per usual, but ghostly, bewitching, maddening. The music and arrangement - the same. Together they can dig through to the very core of the mind, the heart, the gut, and hold them, and shake them, and awaken what I can only describe as primitive, raw feelings that are unsettling because they are strange and new, and yet must be familiar as they come from within. And to think i had been to Bristol three times, and not gone ten miles on to Portishead! Curses!

[@iWouldWantSky]

The bass in the song really anticipated the kind of 808 sequencing you hear in modern trap songs.

[@barneyrebel0123]

I was lucky. I had a friend who was a radio DJ back in the late 80's up until he moved in 95'. He used to give me radio promo CD's all the time. Stuff that wasn't released yet. Nobody had heard of Portishead yet. It was in late 1993. I was under Island records, or Mercury, I can't remember, as the CD, along with a ton of others are in storage. Back then, if you had a big name label backing you, you really must've had talent. So, I popped it into the car CD, and he told me to first listen to Sour Times. I was fucking blown away. I thought it was perfect for the time, because "Grunge" was in full swing, but, there were other artists out there, that played different stuff, and I knew there would be a following. I was a bit worried that they had blown their load in one CD. As even the songs that weren't hits, were still good. Glad I was wrong. Totally different band, and genre of music than Portishead, "The Outfield", their first CD, like every song on it, was a "Best Of", and I always thought that, it's going to be nearly impossible to out do, their old album. I was right. Their 2nd album had one really good song, and the rest sucked. Fucking greedy record companies. "Lets not hold some definite hits, that these guys have, for a future album, lets milk this cow right now, for all she's worth." Never thinking about future profits.

There seemed to be a collective vibe at the time from the mid 90's in Bristol, all of a sudden we had creative souls converging in one place. Portishead, Massive Attack, the highly underrated Federation and then you also have the Manchester scene, which was still going on at the time. It was a creatively magical time.
