My brother committed suicide last weekend by overdosing on something. He was found with headphones on, presumably listening to something. This is his youtube account. He made a playlist containing 6 songs that was edited the day he passed. This is one of the 6 songs. With the method he used, he was dead after about 30 minutes, probably unconscious around 12 minutes. I like to think that it was peaceful for him with his music on. I love you Myles, I'll miss you everyday for the rest of my life..

There is something so comforting about being at a low point, being sad, being all in your feelings. This might be my most played song out of every song I've ever played.

[@oblong3039]

Love this song, at low points there can only be another opposite which is a high point.....don't go lower than low points otherwise you will have no points to reconcile against in the future ...aim for the high ❤

[@JesusandmeDestiny]

i think its cause you see yourself better, ironically a lot of things become more clear when your at a low point

[@michaelkayser4194]

I was at a low point some years back, and at that time I didn't know this song existed. But listening to this song years later takes me back to that time, because I recognize and remember the cold floor beneath my feet, the clarity and the daze of it, the feeling of having been completely emptied out, the knowledge that there's nothing I can do about it, the loss of whoever I thought I was, the comfort that in this moment I don't have to pretend any longer to be anything other than what I am. I can hear all of those feelings plain as day in this song, and so I know they know, and it becomes a song I can take back with me to those days.

As she walks in the room Centered and tall Hesitating once more And as I take on myself And the bitterness I felt I realize that love flows Wild, white horses They will take me away And the tenderness I feel Will send the dark underneath Will I follow? Through the glory of life I will scatter on the floor Disappointed and sore And in my thoughts I have bled For the riddles I've been fed Another lie moves over Wild, white horses They will take me away And the tenderness I feel Will send the dark underneath Will I follow?

Last year my grandpa came close to dying and he said he was hallucinating their was a horse under his hospital bed. I found this song on the way home and it made me cry. Maybe the horse was his spirit animal coming to take him home. He died Friday and I came to his house to go to the funeral and he’s got a horse someone colored him hanging above his bed he slept in. I’d like to think the wild horses came to get him and carry him home.

[@aaronmansfield2752]

I guess it isn't exactly clear what this song is about, many people seem to think it is about suicide or drugs or some sort of depression and it definitely isn't a happy song but I definitely see it as being positive. I sort of see it as overcoming a sort of resentfulness in life and realizing that while things are painful and difficult it is still possible to be fulfilled. Or maybe I just feel that way because that is where I am in my life now, I guess I am just very happy that I found a song that fits where I am.

[@nerdwonder]

Pretty sure this song is about over coming depression, or being at that vulnerable state where your depression could either break or relapse. A point where you gain enough clarity to look inward at self and out ward at world at what has made you bitter, taking inventory, and then either overcoming or sinking again. Beautiful song.

Okay, here goes my first personal youtube comment on any song ever. I randomly found this last thursday and instantly felt a connection with it. The next day at night I was listening to it for the second time when I received the call announcing my grandfather's death. I was shaken, but he was in so much pain before he passed and that's why I felt... relief. And felt he found peace. I can't begin to tell you at that very moment how this song interacted with those feelings. It was an ethereal and heartbreaking experience and I've found it hard listening to this song ever since.

On a rooftop in Montreal, only two days after learning she had taken her own life, a band covered this song in French. I bit my lip and felt silent tears stream down my cheek, dropping into the dark stout I'd been sipping. It was the most heart-breakingly beautiful connection I'd ever felt between a song, language, and events reshaping my life. I'd been backpacking across Canada alone, on my way to see her when I learned I'd never see her again; never say the things I'd wanted to say for so long. The strangers I stayed with in Montreal that week became my friends. Where I'd have otherwise resolved myself to be solitary, Marlene insisted on taking me out places like this rooftop, where I heard the French cover of Portishead's The Rip. As I write this, hearing this melody again, the same silent tears slide down. After nearly 7 years, I still miss her like mad and wonder about the life I might've lived if she'd remained in this world. It's another dimension; one I no longer belong to. So much of myself has moved on. I've created a life I'm fulfilled by in the wake of sad circumstance. I don't dwell in sorrow. These tears are as much about the goodness of strangers who lifted me up when I needed people the most and all I had was a backpack. I look to the past with gratitude because once upon a time, I had someone meaningful in my life, whom losing meant self destruction or radical reinvention. After dabbling in the former, I chose the latter. It's my wish that everyone facing such a choice can choose radical reinvention. So much of life is too beautiful an experience to understand. But like hearing a song sung in a foreign language, the heart translates all.

Esta canción literal salvo mi vida, suena muy exagerado pero es verdad, había una época de mi vida en la cual estaba sumergido en una gran depresión, llevaba una vida llena de abusos de sustancias, mi familia me odiaba, había pasado por muchas cosas demasiado fuertes, estaba en mi punto más bajo y había decidido quitarme la vida, tenía todo listo, un frasco de barbitúricos y una navaja, quería hacerlo a mi modo así que lo mejor era querer irme escuchando cualquier canción, deje que se reprodujeran las canciones como iban saliendo, hasta que llego esta, una canción que jamás había escuchado y me enamore, me encanto cuando la escuche, me conmovió tanto que no pare de escucharla, escuche toda la discografía de la banda y me enamore de su música y desde ahí le agarre un fuerte amor a la música, descubrí una pasión inmensa que desconocía, creo que es lo que más amo en mi vida, empece a aprender más de muchas bandas, aprendí canto, guitarra, bajo y teclado y en la actualidad sigo aprendiendo más sobre música a un punto que estoy decidido que le dedicare mi vida a ello, quiero que así sea, desde que me ocurrió eso todo en mi vida es para un algo, todas mis acciones son para lo que más amo en el mundo. Cualquier persona que este pasando por el momento más bajo de su vida y sientan una presión tan inmensa que desean acabarla, solo le podría decir que la vida es un caos, pero en medio de ese caos las cosas buenas y las cosas malas no son para siempre, aprendan de ellas mientras duren, ustedes crean sus propias constantes, busquen ayuda y busquen un motivo para seguir vivo sobre el cual resguardarse y no soltar. Le tengo un gran cariño a Beth Gibbons, a Portishead en general, tal vez nunca sepan lo que su música logro en mi, pero gracias a ellos sigo en pie, superando todo y gracias a ellos tengo un porque para mi todo, gracias a ellos descubrí a lo que deseo donar mi vida y no me bastara la vida entera para agradecerles, los amo tanto como a su música.

Songs using arpeggios like this one always touch the blind side of my soul, like Radiohead's Weird Fishes, Beth Gibbons' Mysteries or Conchiglie of Andrea Laszlo de Simone which is quite similar.

"Through the glory of life I will scatter on the floor Dissappointed and sore And in my thoughts I have bled For the riddles I've been fed Another line is over" Beautiful! Amazing!

[@estefaniaj5764]

i just discover this amazing song yesterday but now i live in that videoclip forever

[@aspyn.j_]

[@al.komori]

[@ryn5302]

[@paddymulligan]

Still waiting

[@michaelvillanueva9703]

I hear nothing but sadness but I feel like Beth captures a positivity towards it. It's gonna be ok.

[@bulltrunch]

Same. People see it as a suicide song but to me I see it differently. To me this song is like a warm blanket trying to comfort you through the sad times in your life. It’s quite beautiful really.

[@Strictlysmiler]

You’ve saved and helped lives, but also helped people pass hopefully peacefully,im glad you were one of gods creations

[@lwright9690]

half a year before the pandemic, I spent hours at school working on a cover with my music teacher. I studied to a point where I knew the lyrics by heart and was going to perform it at the schools talent show. Unfortunately I wasn't given a chance. This song still gives me a strong sense of nostalgia, and I hum it every now and again. 🎸❤

[@emilywatkins5555]

Why does this make me so emotional?

[@lebouffi38]

Emily Watkins Because you are :)

[@floteamo]

The work and dedication it must have taken to make that animation, jesus.

That's how it is for about any animation. :P

[@uwagajedzietramwaj_]

everyone finds this song sad but it makes me feel at peace, almost like i'm a kid visiting my grandma on a warm sunny day again

[@alicja48]

Yes, it’s very peaceful, with a little bit of grief

[@m.e3120]

Today April 14, 2024 4:47AM i found the band Portishead.

[@ceesay3842]

welcome

[@m.e3120]

@@ceesay3842 thank you

[@violentoamarillo7442]

Through the glory of life, I will scatter on the floor, disappointed and sore, and in my thoughts I have bled...

[@MyNov09]

Wow. I can't believe in twelve or thirteen years I have only just discovered this track. Thank you BBC One's on-the-edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller series "Chloe". This matched the final scene incredibly well.

[@grafdracolyny3703]

i love all of you. it is a hard world we live in, everything seems bad sometimes - but they cant take love from us

[@royalspleen]

I miss so many people around me ..... Was looking for "all mine" videoclip, and now I'm here, thinking about my people, and my life without them, fun fact, I just moved to a French region populated by wild white horses. Sublime morceau.

[@volkisch8371]

Well, this music video made me enter another dimension.

[@govansquared4759]

moi aussi

[@jtcontardo712]

Nature And Race

[@casswoodland7256]

How does this video not have 300 million views? Oh right... because it's stunning.

[@serac2069]

For me this song is about living in the absurd and knowing than nothing you do will change this human reality or take away the human ego, at least a small clue of why this world should make sense, just want to dissapear and never exist or for something than can take away this bitternes, but even so realizing and learning than humans can still giving too much love and making beautiful stuff like this song, because music is the language of the soul.

[@russelldurling892]

I simply adore this track / video combo. Something else.

[@blackdelarge]

i wish music like this were more apreciated

[@stefan5149]

I am drawn to this song as a moth to a light.

[@joeagger]

this song is just timeless. one of the absolute greatest songs of this century, without a doubt. never fails to make me tear up...

[@oblong3039]

I've watched and listened to this so many times...the artwork along with music absolutely amazing....true art in its purest form ❤️‍🩹

[@shaym4306]

Such unique visuals that perfectly go along with the song. I genuinely don't know what I love more. What a special band

[@urban.drooid71]

has got to be on the most amazing productions ever made, by anybody. it does not get enough of the love that it deserves. it is exquisite.

[@johngarrettburk4785]

This is my most favorite song off of Third. An album rife with classic Portishead excellence.

[@mayavanderbent7895]

Simply amazing and kind of haunting..at the same time it somehow feels safe..Portishead always comforts. I love their music can make you feel to the core

[@andremoore4688]

this looks like a dream. i love this song

[@satisfiction]

2:03 - 2:59 "Will I folloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow?" Also.. love that single percussion at 2:34

[@shaka994]

Her glorious voice is just getting better and better. I saw them a few years ago in Denver and the show was brilliant.

[@zaczarowanyswierszcz4282]

One of the most wonderful, deepest songs I've ever known. Love it so much 🙂

[@Teeheehee093]

My favourite song of theirs by far, just incredible.

[@simonjkoxford]

Bush, Denny, Callas, Gibbons, Nicks and others, grateful for these great voices.

[@deancooper7952]

Beautiful bottomless soul , Beth and the band have no boundries!!❤❤.

[@how-tosnfixes805]

I can play this song on repeat all day long. F’ing masterpiece! The lyrics and the music force you to feel a bitter sweet sadness. Portishead is obviously iconic, with an unmistakable style, and so many brilliant songs, but this one, I must admit is my fave! One more album please Portishead!

[@paulinadobija3372]

My eyes get teary everytime I listen to this song. Just beautiful

[@eccentricity00]

timeless masterpiece. itll still be good in 300 years

[@S0meb0dythaty0usedt0kn0w_]

[@peggypierce5015]

Goosebumps. Every time. Come back Portishead!!!

[@bafolini]

This is poetry.... my favorite song.

[@m01inaz]

Quería decir cuanto amo este tema y que la emoción me embarga cada vez que lo escucho, gracias.

[@user-fn3rt1is4p]

Last summer I was in a very deep melancholia. I used to listen this and Sibylle Bayer. And I've been staying in my bed. Starving. Sleeping. And terrified. I wanted to not to live anymore, but couldn't find some straight in myself to end it

[@demon-goat]

how are you doing now?

[@wonkyal3097]

Brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful beyond belief..

[@michaelderrico6270]

checkout Flight of the Navigator by Childish Gambino, you'll probably like that one too. Listen to it in full

[@daffodilss2043]

No words can describe how magnificent this song is...

[@tinakarenturunen4881]

Well I lost my nephew and friend within a short period of time. and this song comforts me, it connects me with the dead, the emotional register I need to still feel a connection with the dead love …

[@meredithparr2984]

I am in absolute love with this band, this song. Thanks so much

[@starrysunni]

This song reminds me of my childhood. And I love the way the animation represents the meaning. The people falling from the sky back into the earth shows that life can feel tough and it's like suffering from distressing disasters such as losing your loved ones during conflicts or losing hope or feeling emotionally painful. And it reminds me of these days when on the inside, I feel depressed because I lose confidence over other people and I start crying, I'm going through a tough relationship with my sister and worst of all, dealing with my own shit because people don't give me space when I want some alone time and only care for me for INSIGNIFICANT things.
