Teardrop
by Massive Attack
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
It's tumbling down (as in love falling apart)
It's tumbling down (as in love falling apart)

tbh I don't even remember how I learned of the song. I think it was just chance, probably someone in a Napster chatroom recommended it to me back in 1999, so I downloaded it. I know I first listened to it after downloading it off Napster back in teh day for sure...but how I learned of it/knew to download it is hazy. such an iconic song. I assume Massive Attack is much more well known in the United Kingdom, but in the United States, they aren't very well known at all. Typically only the hipsters in the U.S. heard of Massive Attack...there are quite a bit of hipsters though so I guess there's that.. just...won't be hearing it on the radio nawmean.
