[ Blue Lines ]

Bring the 90’s back.

This song is extraordinary, the perfect mixture of melancholia and optimism - a hallmark of Massive Attack. Its transportive sonic quality and lush string arrangement, never fails to summon a bit of “mist” to my eyes. The propellant vocals supplied by Shara Nelson are nothing short of iconic.  Every time I listen to it, I feel open, limitless and inspired.  The music video isn’t too bad either. 

If only Tricky had stayed with Massive … *sigh*
