Black Milk
Massive Attack Lyrics

You're not my eater
I'm not your food
Love you for God
Love you for the mother

Eat me
In the space
Within my heart
Love you for God
Love you for the mother

Mother fountain
Only Your not at all

The most black road
Son kid child
Love you for God
Love you for the mother

God stares to Marvel
Only love

First time I heard this, I was walking to my bus stop in the middle of the night from college. I was feeling so upset about not being able to handle my life, and to top it off not having a ride. I felt so alone, and scared walking in the dark. But alas, this song somehow calmed me.

Love playing this song with another tab of the same open, delayed by about a second and at 50-75% volume. Turns every drum beat into a flam and makes the vocals and melody extra haunting.

@Clandestine Merkaba I'm not talking about "kitsch little audio programs". I don't think you know much about audio production. Even Audacity can apply delay.

Clandestine Merkaba

44w↑2

@Kyle Harmieson You seem to have low reading comprehension, and a very obvious ego you like feeding. The two often go hand in hand. Passing suggestion, and personal opinion based on personal experiences...that's it- not assertions of unequivocal, indisputable fact...

More suggestions are always welcome; maybe some will invest in such programs based upon yours- but obviously not every listener here uses kitsch little audio programs filled up to the tits with neat features. Pull your head out of your ass.

...why are you even listening to music here on yt, with such a strong conviction about this I wonder...?
You're dying on a hill over pure minutia. Later!

First heard this hypnotic mesmerising, and sensual track late at night driving back to London from Bristol. The slowed down beat pulsed as the highway lights shone through the bleak darkness. I was completely and utterly hooked and as I listen now more than 20 years later I am still totally hooked on Mezzanine.

@Gray Fen The first time I listened to Mezzanine I was sitting on the roof of my apartment building in Buenos Aires at night looking out at the city lights. Angel took me on a journey from birth to immortality and I knew that if I jumped of the roof at that moment I would fly. The power of that track is incredible. Made me feel immortal. Absolutely agree with your feelings and 10/10.
