This is the best representation of alcoholism I’ve ever seen. —coming from an alcoholic.
The image. The mannequin of success. And then this. It’s perfect. When she reaches for the bottle instead of the phone. Yep. That is 100.

Have you ever had your heart broken? You soon realise that it not only gets broken, but spat on, stamped on, scolded, frozen, stolen, given to someone you don't even know or like, then the empty gap becomes infected with misery, rots, eats away at what's left of you, & corrupts all aspects of life except escapism. You wear sadness like old leather, until one day you wake up with it still on; you never take it off, & that sadness becomes your solace; giving you the power to write songs like this.

The end of this video brings up the many conflicting emotions of being intoxicated. That feeling of not being in control. At the same time, not caring about the realistic dangers of your surroundings but focusing just on the beauty of the night sky. Like that one moment takes away the pain of her broken heart.

i think the most painful thing is letting go of someone you love. you live with a continuous pain in your heart. every morning, every evening, you miss them..at the end of the day, you wipe your tears-regardless of what happened, you wish them the best. You pray for them every time..
.in memory of someone who loved this track...
miss you!

That vision of her falling down the stairs was so haunting, the downward spiral (excuse the reference) into bleak hopelessness and despair... I've never been a drug addict (IMO alcohol is a drug), but I have dealt with an eating disorder and it shares a lot of similarities... luckily I had a supportive family and things to live for that helped my recovery but a lot of people don't.

I discovered this song a few years ago at just the right time. When I could appreciate and understand what was being shown, when I could relate to the loneliness and found it difficult to get through. It's almost like Terry is crying out to the girl in the video, massive attack is truly a gift to the world. This is one of their master pieces which I'll probably treasure to the grave. And it got me through, I promised myself I wouldn't let myself go like that. The last few seconds in the video, when the strings play that haunting tune, you could see the glimmer of hope in her eyes. Gosh what a brilliant video and masterful song.
