Lyrics:
The taste of life I can't describe
It's chocking on my mind
Reaching out I can't believe
Faith it can't decide
On and on I carry on
But underneath my mind
And on and on I tell my self
It's this I can't disguise
Oh can't you see
Holding on to my heart
I bleed the taste of life
The pace, the time, I can't survive
It's grinding down the view
Breaking out which way to choose
A choice I can't renew
Holding on I carry on
But underneath my mind
And on and on I tell my self
It's this I can't disguise
Oh can't you see
Holding on to my heart
I bleed, no place is safe
Can't you see the taste of life

That guitar hook after the chorus though... absolutely mesmerizing!

[@sosijiz1971]

Almost as if the vocals and bass weren't enough!? Stunning mood...

[@OdiousGrimm]

This tune reminds me of Silver Apples, pioneering stuff from the sixties. That's why I like this!!

[@MrBlonde2222]

I'm sure you've seen it by now, but there's a video on KZbin of them performing it with Silver Apples. Great stuff.

[@Timothy2706]

Saw the 2 first shows in Bristol when they reunited and Silver Apples was one of the guests.

Espeluznante, hipnótico, delicioso, mágico, único y verdaderamente diferente a todo. Te extraño tanto Portishead

[@mounirkamil1716]

the way they stop it ........just magic

[@eat_pray_porg8450]

Yes. That command of space and sound...and silence. Just brilliant.

[@josephdredd7251]

This was a special band.

[@trouzercoff]

Jeez, how do you describe this music,other than just bloody fantastic ! :)

[@eat_pray_porg8450]

They bring in the atmosphere to each of those songs. What an energy to feel and to experience. Fucking hell, I am still astounded by them.

[@thevoid99]

[@lizzie2103]

Portishead is generally underrated.

[@sosijiz1971]

OK, so here it is: I set this at 0.75 speed and listened to it; then at 1.25...still amazing! Yes, I have nothing to do at the moment. :)

[@wanderleisilva3750]

Carry on consegue alcançar a minha alma!

[@Shlogan11]

Similar to Pink Floyd’s Set the controls for the heart of the Sun… love it

[@ZOOTSUITBEATNICK1]

ACES!

[@sosijiz1971]

Ah, now I understand why Portishead and Radiohead have never collaborated: things would most defintely unravel and break... Probably create a black hole or something? Maybe CERN should employ these two bands - who knows what would be revealed? It hurts to even imagine such a thing... ;)

[@sosijiz1971]

Or maybe they hate each other?

[@FenixShephard]

They're a perfect match. Would love to see a collab. Beth and Tom out front would be bliss

[@jespercervin9618]

Radiohead have covered The Rip at least, it's on KZbin.

[@fredmila]

They have one up on the Cocteau Twins with this one.

[@sosijiz1971]

PS, But what about that crescendo outtro? Stop it.

[@mirvids5036]

Back in the day when "Later" acts were chosen by talent and not diversity. It used to be the show to be seen on as it would make your music career. Nowadays it's a waste of time. Seasick Steve...
