Teardrop
Massive Attack Lyrics

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me, makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Night, night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

You're stumbling in the dark
You're stumbling in the dark

Oh yes Jennifer!
I have to agree with you wholeheartedly.
The love of my life, Emilie, and I lost
our beautiful girl Marguerite at age 16 weeks in the womb.
She never got to experience the outside world, or life as we know it❤️.

To our gorgeous unborn miracle Margot.
We will always carry you in our hearts! Today, tomorrow, and way into our future!
much love from Emilie and Nick ❤️❤️

"Teardrop"

[Verse 1]
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Feathers on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me, makes me lighter
Feathers on my breath

[Chorus]
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath

[Verse 2]
Night, night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Feathers on my breath

[Chorus]
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my...

[Verse 3]
Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Of a confession
Feathers on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Feathers on my breath

[Chorus]
Teardrop on the fire
Feathers on my breath

You're stumbling in the dark

@Flint Beastwood You’ve got slot of homework to do tegarfing the music industry. What’s going on now at the corporate level was going on in the 50’s. Pick up a book about the music industry and read it. Then pick up two more and read to find out the accuracy as far as what is really going on.

Bob

@Klaus Schwab Really? If you need to pigeonhole it, most great music was made by the mid 1900’s. And as far back as 1700’s. Your statement is very general snd shows a lack of knowledge of music history. You need to expand your listening catalog.

Bob

@Chtistophe PINO- it doesn’t sound futuristic. Have you ever heard any of the early MOOG synth stuff from the late 50’s and estate 60’s, THAT was futuristic. And listen to some of the stuff Joe Meek did in the early 60’s.

I first heard this as the “theme song” to House back in the early 2000’s and fell in love, looked it up, found this. I used to play this song to fall asleep to, it invokes a deep sense of peace and… nostalgia for me. It’s beautiful. So is Jose Gonzales’ of the same name.

@Brian J. Carnevale Portishead and massive attack are both from exactly the same part of England. The city of Bristol, much like Seattle has grunge, Bristol has triphop. Bristol also has a huge cultural and arts scene, there's graffiti art on every wall and building, it's truly the city of artists in England.

@jo ma Of course, the places you named...are places that I am happy to not be born into. But when you live here: You go to work and pay more than the half of your money for taxes. Now, there is a new law, which gives the people without work even more money, while the working earns way to less. But it's interesting, that a foreigner says, that I am still living in paradise.🤔 It's a thing to think about. Really interesting. Because you are living in a "bubble" here. People are angry, people are dissatisfied. Not to compare with countries like south corea f.e.I can't even imagine to live there...

I know that's no reason for a person to be happy. because there is still personal suffering. but thats the same all over the world.

Rob Maddison

To me this song goes beyond descriptions such as sadness. The lyrics and the vocal give the impression that one of life's prodigious lightening bolts of trauma has elicited this profound and deeply personal moment of self-awareness in the protagonist. An event has happened which is so powerful that it makes one intensely sensitive to the core bodily functions of breathing and blood circulation via the heart (expressed through the music). This event has also brought about an awareness of oneself emotionally in the protagonist to the extent that they have recognised that the moment is so surreal and cruel, yet as fate dictates they will carry on in their course of life, albeit with this uncertainty of whether the future will bring happiness or a sense of peace. Facing the future fearless in one's quiet desperation.

I honestly believe that what sets this song apart is the intro. Almost a full minute long, it sets the mood for one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs you will ever hear. Elizabeth Fraser was described as having "the voice of God". After hearing this, it's hard to argue with that.

The interweb has all but killed the intro. Pre-1998, songs used to have long intros and outros. In some cases entire sides of an LP were leading up to the main musical idea., The algorithm has reduced the global attention span to 3 seconds or less. Triphop was always about long, laidback build ups.

I love this song however, it brings back memories that I would rather not remember, you see, this particular day I was listening to song and it moved me in such away, that I felt something was not right . That song stayed with me all day until around 5 pm that evening when mum And I were in the car and some woman crashed into us . Mum hit her head hard on the seat belt bolt and she lost a lot of hair through stress. So this song is haunting for me because of that day.

@lordofthe6string “like all these sheep” bro is wrong and even has the audacity to call us sheep💀. Artists can change or play with words when the play live, either that or just a matter of accents and pronunciations. Just search for the official sheet music and you’ll find out it’s “fearless”. Also you can clearly hear in the version studio here that it’s fearless. You can clearly hear the “L” that the word “feathers” don’t have.

The drum kick sounding like an heartbeat is amazing. The voice of Elizabeth Fraser is so sweet and so percutant, just like a mother's voice.
The fact that it didn't aged prooves how much it is perfect.
So many feelings and memories with it.
Une madeleine de Proust.

Wow, it's amazing, having this song as a memory of your early childhood. I really love this heartbeat-like drum beat. I think of it from time to time.

This song came to my mind again after so many years as i am feeling very depressed because of an unrequited love i am experiencing,made me shed tears,and the last tears i had shed were 2 years ago when one of the dearest people to me died.It s so powerful.I wish life was less painful,but at least we have these gems to caress our hearts in these situations.😔😔

This song is otherworldly. I can't get enough of this song. Massive Attack is soooo grossly underrated.

@Bluntdragon Actually, 65 million views is really not a lot of viewage in contrast to something popular. This song only really has the leverage it has because of its usage in House. Getting millions of views doesn't really showcase relevance, hell I have a video with a million views on my channel.

I was 19 when this came out, I remember being in college and thinking I've been a massive fan of massive attack since I was 11 years old and that will never change, its 2022 and I still stand by this statement.

Read somewhere that Madonna was disappointed she didn't get this song as Massive Attack voted in Miss Fraser's favour. I can understand her. This kind of song doesn't come very often to this Earth. Miss Fraser slaying hard so no loss for Massive Attack here. The entire album is pure greatness.

@Isaak That one is a cover of Marvin Gaye's song. This one is an original song. There's a difference between making/singing an original and a cover.

No one is ever going to read that.But Teardrop represents my ideal of a world.I imagine everything in dark,while only certain places are lid up sparsely in a yellow brown light.Its like a dark spa.The architechture is very modern and some walls and stuff are white while sone are anthracite.There is some kind of oriental smell everywhere.And this music just puts me into that place.I know that sounds freaking weird but everytime I have an exam coming up I hear this and imagine I at at that place.It makes me feel calm and collected.I feel comfortable.I hope one day I will find such a world.

Vocally Elizabeth Fraser is on a whole other level. Just amazing really. Her voice is positively uncanny. Stupendous. Seriously, there is not enough can be said about it.

I always seem to come back to this track when i'm lost in thought.
Its a combination of the audio & visual. I find the video so incredibly engaging, it pulls me into a place where i sigh and take deep breaths untill i close my eyes and let the vocal and the music do the rest.

There are so many places in this song that allow me to explore every aspect of my life so far, The good times and the bad my return from dark times in my life to a place where i feel good again.
I hope that makes sense to anyone. It does to me so i say thank you once again for giving us this timeless classic.🖤❤🧡🧡

I’m sure it did help heal you. When I got divorced I suddenly became a single dad of 2 small kids and had no idea what to do. I immersed myself in music every day to take my sorrows away. It got me through to the other side.

90s trip hop as a genre aged very well, matter of fact it sounds better than many newer/modern styles of music, its surprising to me that its kinda gone underground or at least its not as mainstream as it used to be
