Portishead - Threads

Album: Third (2008)

[@birberking6999]

One of the most bone chilling pieces of music I know.

[@duewhit310]

Try 'throughout the dark months of april and may' by Cocteau Twins

[@RuiLopesOutrorui]

It was made for you and me, then. I can identify with the whole lyrics.

[@OutOfAmmoOutOfTime]

This album is Inspired by Tilt and The Drift....

[@the2ndcoming135]

Oh okay👀

[@jmluke1876]

Street Spirit, Mayonnaise, White Ring IxC999

[@lambda494]

I love how this fluctuates all around a tonal center, never really resolving and giving you a sense of rest or peace.

[@jmluke1876]

I can only listen to this once a year, too many emotions and can't fight off the darkness.

[@AnthonyTheSeven]

I can listen to this once a year because I'm afraid I will get used to it.

[@boneytony5041]

I’ve listened 5 times tonight. I’m okay, so far! Just roll with the drums.

[@the2ndcoming135]

Shall I fetch thee a light m’lord?🧐

[@vorticalhook5794]

Hope you doing alright friend.

[@whyargon]

Fun summer song love to play in the car with my friends 🥰

[@mariomarillo]

The only Threads I'll ever accept

[@CrispyDragons]

The ending of this song sounds like the apocalypse.

[@jacobdunstan6620]

This track engenders some of the strongest feelings I've ever experienced listening to a song. The embodiment of haunting. Complete and utter despondence dipped in spookily cinematic sonics. Peerless beauty from a band that perhaps can't be bested.

[@CJ-pi1dk]

I'm depressed for fucking three years and I love Portishead.

[@VilleGardian]

21 years......my depression is old enough to have her own depression

[@VilleGardian]

It is ok to be in deep hole... It is ok to feel like peeling your own skin away. I am glad this song exists.

[@untilted9126]

ain't ok but yes, glad this one exists

[@VilleGardian]

@@untilted9126 you did not get my point but whatever

[@saritajoshi1737]

It not okay to romaticize it though

[@antonesauf]

I love this band and all their work but this is my absolute favourite track by them, amazing piece

[@livhoover3863]

The sound at the end makes me shiver. It's creepy.

[@Poop-ol7yh]

ikr..

[@zopilote_4000]

creppy

[@toprak3479]

It's also fucking great.

[@FloridaLizardQueen]

It sounds like sheep and goats crying ....

[@LearnToRefine]

Like an angry Whale who is not taking sh*t from anyone

[@raspberry481]

Better if I could find the words to say Whenever I take a choice it turns away I'm worn, tired of my mind I'm worn out, thinking of why I'm always so unsure I battle my thoughts I find I can't explain I've travelled so far but somehow feel the same I'm worn, tired of my mind I'm worn out, thinking of why I'm always so unsure I'm always so unsure I'm worn, tired of my mind I'm worn out, thinking of why I'm always so unsure I'm always so unsure I'm always so unsure I'm always so unsure I'm always so unsure I'm always so unsure I am alive when I sleep Why am I not in all that I got? I can't find no one to blame Stand, stand, damned one Damned one Damned one Damned one I am one Damned One Where do I go?

[@pxblx]

I thought it was PETRIFIED instead better if i. Lol

[@annagray837]

I'm addicted to this memory...repeat... .. .....

[@dianabini7536]

the world needs more genuine musicians like you..

[@CM-rc5gh]

It's very powerful when a song articulates what you feel in the depths of your soul. This song does that for me.

[@lukasirons611]

What do Portishead and Tool have in common. They put out albums every 15 years and get better with age.

[@stannrj]

God i love this song. I AM this song...

[@JD-wg5oq]

my mom used to play this for me when i was a little baby.

[@DodoDodo-eo2su]

Are you alright? Is she alright?

[@starisesun7692]

Cant stop listening to this masterpiece!!!! And the way she sings "DAMNED ONE" at the end hits my core so strongly omg!!! It captures that hopelessness and emptiness.

[@duewhit310]

zoe stary soundtrack music for the movie CHUD. there a vid for it. I think you like.

[@sinisterzero7963]

blessed to see portishead live...amazing

[@antonesauf4486]

this song is sublime, in a back cataloge of genius this stands out, I love it

[@duck4817]

same.

[@b.liliagarcia8071]

Soy un cobarde, no puedo soportar el sufrimiento de ser feliz...

[@131]

this is how you close an album right here.

[@duck4817]

I love this song. It somehow speaks to me.

[@gabriela6213]

WOW....master piece!

[@Guadeloop]

That fucking ending man, fuck

[@Voodooray007]

That's the horn of Gabriel

[@vespenegas261]

Let Beth go

[@thetranz13nt52]

This is such an amazing song by an amazing band, I have to admit when I first heard this album, I didn't know what to think of it, but it really grew on me

[@richardbraithwaite7680]

It's their best album in my opinion, nothing else sounds like it.

[@Tak3TheVeil]

@@richardbraithwaite7680 Pretty much...

[@DodoDodo-eo2su]

Whenever I find my way back to this song, I know I am at a place again, that I don't want to be at. I love this song so much, it's maybe the best there is, but I don't want to hear it.

[@PIZZDA]

perfect antisocial piece of music

[@fernandogrande2576]

perfect comment

[@pressstart1685]

This song fills my empty vessel, feeling internally awakened.

[@curb9034]

This song is exactly exactly how I feel at this point in my life.

[@lipstickerazer1383]

Daniel Fozard how are you feeling now buddy?

[@erry9895]

Im there too, i can answer the prvious commenters question: Tired and worn (also fuckin shit!!!)

[@curb9034]

[@novo_ephemera]

hey me too I love Public Image Ltd Second Edition too let's be friends

[@radimkatrinec6935]

I felt like this for almost whole of my life.

[@SJZimny]

So deep... Fantastic album.. A real grower...

[@bl3794]

This my favorite! dark and so beautiful.

[@sonsofbiscuits1]

The final hair raising piece to the most haunting album I've ever heard. There is a sense of humanity throughout due to the lyrics and certain melodies. But this final song is complete and utter hopelessness in tone, vibe, feeling, and lyrics. I've never heard anything like this to date. "Dahahahmned ooone!" 😨😭👌

[@bentica]

los pensamientos nos destruyen

[@EternalExodus]

I typed up a giant analysis of this song, but youtube refreshed and lost it. I regret. I'm tired of my mind.

[@user-xj2td9sd7w]

I'm tired of my mind

[@neonameless9608]

Hits like a truck. Beautifull song!

[@jamesbennett9136]

This whole album is superb.

[@dragomirchapkanov]

I am a big death and black metal fan, but this song is heavier than hell. So deep, soo personal.

[@AbdulazizUgas]

My friend sent me this, and I think it's amazing. Wow. Great vocals and lyrics

[@nonchefsaussy]

- for me, the ending-repeated sound brings back images of 'Six Figures Getting Sick'. always thought Portishead and David Lynch go hand-in-hand, artistically.

[@josiewalker7012]

David Lynch actually tried to get Beth to work with him at one point, I'm fairly certain..this was some years ago. She declined. :(

[@jayb1183]

Majestic.

[@frogisis]

Oh neat, I'm glad someone is finally recording the songs somehow coming out of the supermassive black hole at the core of the galaxy...

[@Dantyac69]

This song is so cathartic when I'm feeling shit. If you're feeling this way, and I know this is what you want to do least when feeling this way but, just talk and connect. Even if it's for a matter of minutes, even if you're only half there I seem to remember reading somewhere that this song was somehow connected to a BBC programme of the same name about the cold war, is that right?

[@1970boobear]

Not sure if they are directly connected, but there was a movie made in the UK in 1984 by the same name. Forget modern horror... This will stay w/ you 😨

[@lukereilly9844]

This is what Hell sounds like. Completely without hope, utterly bleak. I'm an addict so I know where I'm going is even worse than this.

[@sebastianrodriguez2932]

I can't believe how talented they are, three records that are more that great. One local magazine headlined the article on this record with this as follows: all the more sad. Certainly so. Haunting music that feeds your heart with joy.

[@chadgrewal4829]

The multiple Eargasm 5 minute onwards!!!!!!1

[@misterelom]

I remember not being as into their 3rd album as much as I am into the first two but I always loved this song and would listen to it on repeat while painting/making art. Still gives me goosebumps.

[@uxaskhan1470]

one of the only groups that get played in my house, but this album here... 👌

[@Chasewillis820]

the ending to this has nuremburg rally vibes real talk. spooks

[@jayjenn5983]

For whatever reason, this song reminds me of Rosemary's Baby and the scene when Dr. Sapirstein and Guy are returning her to the apartment. It's a very disturbing and stressful moment in the film.

[@rebahhamdaoui4132]

You do not need to die for know the hell actually You just need to listen to this song

[@u311224]

vibrations cutting through the fabric...

[@_danisdead]

The Sunn O)))'s influence on this track is overwhelming.

[@gnarfish1]

Daniel García I never thought about that. The outro is a little on that side of things huh?

[@_danisdead]

I read and interview a couple of months ago (I have to find the link), where in some point Geoff Barrow talks about the music they were into during the recording of Third, if I recall correctly they dropped names like Sunn O))), Hawkwind, some Bollywood stuff and named influences like John Carpenter's synths...

[@spliff22]

Fuck sun o!

[@thespiritualwarrior5917]

Incredible.

[@kronossonork6994]

Has that Jefferson Airplane quality

[@tenson95]

I'm pretty sure that this album has been one of the main Chelsea Wolfe influences.

[@linesinthedirt]

tenson95 i’ve really been thinking this lately

[@szmblanka]

If you take a look at the lyrics, you will immediately change your mind. Portishead lyrics are truly beautiful and the sounding is perfect. And chelsea is far, far away from that

[@totron1]

Damned one Damned one Damned one ...

[@erry9895]

I remember in 2008, Geoff Barrow said they wouldnt leave it as long between third and the next album as they did with portishead and third, which was 10 years. Its been 13 years!! Not to rush art, but getta joggon!!! Need me some music!! Saltillo, Sunday Munich and Lendi Vexer scratch the vacant itch. Anyone got me any recommendations?

[@e.p.6502]

この曲は大好きだよ！ポーリテスヘドは最高だ　笑

[@hex1233]

Damn, this song is a lot darker than I remember

[@thENDweDIE]

My Goddess

[@waz3128]

Reminds of those chilling warning sounds on ''War of The Worlds''

[@LovePotion_]

Fucking PREACH.

[@Torthrodhel]

Anyone else get a Sleater-Kinney vibe from the voice at the end as it fades with vibrato?

[@Tadesan]

There are a ton of little details in this song.

[@holyreality02]

i think this album just killed itself

Could another name for this song be "just fucking shoot me" ?

[@uxaskhan1470]

due whit melancholy madness...😁

[@mhurst4317]

Iggy Pop reference with the horn at the end?

[@NuclearFantasies]

M Hurst pretty sure it's supposed to sound like a down pitched air raid siren. As far as I can tell it's a reference to the BBC film "Threads" which is about a nuclear attack on Britain, and the ensuing breakdown of society.

[@EsmeMarion]

@@NuclearFantasies Oh, that's why the song's called that!

[@dimitrismanos3559]
