Unfinished Sympathy by Massive Attack
“A really beautiful, emotionally-charged dance track that I'm still surprised came out in 1990. I mean, it's certainly dated and quintessential to early 90s dance and trip-hop, but there's a level of mastery and vision on this song that feels like it was inspired by a scene rather than a starter of it. I guess in that sense, I'd call it massively influential. But I wouldn't know; I wasn't old or privy enough to have any idea what was going on then. You could say I've been thinking a lot lately about the 90s world that I never got to experience. And this music is fitting the bill.”

To me one of the best songs ever, Unfinished Sympathy is also the best Shara Nelson's vocals. She gave her voice to four songs from Blue Lines, the first (and my favorite) album from Massive Attack. The song. The voice. The video. I love everything. It catchs me everytime. Enjoy this diamond...

Been in my head all week this, what better way to get it out than sharing it on here.
Is trip-hop cool again, yet? Oh, it never was? Dang. I guess I'll just keep being uncool...
