For The Alcoholic In All Of Us



When I first saw this video, I watched it maybe 2-3 times in a row, and then everyday for a couple of days. Just something about the song and the imagery is really deep, just a really well shot video, even though the male vocals are difficult to relate to the female actress. Anyways, Massive Attack definitely one my favorite groups of all time, and this track holds a special place in my heart.

I read about the vocalist on this track, apparently he used to work at the University of Chicago and would perform on the weekends. When it was discovered that he was a successful singer (he mostly performed in the UK, probably due to the popularity of American soul music in the UK in the 80's/90's) he was fired. So that sucks.
