Age 17 in 1991 I was totally captured by the video and the sound. About to leave foster care as soon as I turned 18 to go it alone as a young adult into the unknown big wide world to live independently. Every lonely but strong purposeful stride Shara took as she walked those streets to the bitter sweet happy sad sound was symbolic of me at that time. It moved me back then and still moves me when I hear it today age 50. Still navigating through the streets of life. But then again, aren't we all.

One of the many reasons why this is a classic is that no other song has ever sounded remotely like it: the strings, the beat, the lyrics, the scratching and weird percussion sounds, but, most of all, Shara Nelson's unique vocals. For me, it brings back memories of things that never happened.

As Shara Nelson passes he turns to follow her with a young child in blue denim, turning left down the side street in the background at 2:18, just as Robert Del Naja appears in a long green coat, standing by the telephone. As Shara passes the shop door RDN turns to follow her, then at 3:17 Andrew Vowles appears in a long dark coat, pushing a trolley, with both remaining in the background until the camera pans forward at 4:12

21 years old today,what a timeless classic. Can’t believe I’m probably going to look back at this comment at 50. So proud of how far I’ve came

In my humble opinion, the most beautiful piece of popular music in the last 30 years. It somehow manages to be cold, warm, mechanic and human at the same time. The brilliance of this song is that it combined the tradition of soul music with what was then an amazingly forward-looking style of music without sounding like a gimmick or a cliché. The beat, the samples, the scratching, the strings, Shara Nelson's voice, that heartbreaking vocal and the production... Everything here is about subtlety, balance and everything fitting together at the right time. And it's truly heartbreaking that Shara Nelson didn't have the career she deserved when you know she co-wrote this masterpiece.

This track very cleverly captures such soaring, vulnerable heights of emotion due to the string's key in F major, which was a favourite amongst classical composers, such as Bach. A very intelligent production, which will never lose it's timeless appeal due to its diverse influences that span hip hop, soul, classical and electronica. It really touches deep into the soul of all who behold its achingly-beautiful majesty. A modern masterpiece.

Unfinished Sympathy" is a song by the English trip hop group Massive Attack. It was released on 11 February 1991 under the temporary group name Massive.[1] The song was written by the three band members Robert "3D" Del Naja, Andrew "Mushroom" Vowles and Grant "Daddy G" Marshall, the song's vocalist Shara Nelson and the group's co-producer Jonathan "Jonny Dollar" Sharp. It was released on 11 February 1991 as the second single from the band's first album, Blue Lines (1991), on the band's Wild Bunch label distributed by Circa Records.[2] The name "Massive" was used to avoid a radio ban, as the track's release coincided with the Gulf War. Produced by Massive Attack and Dollar, the song incorporates various musical elements into its arrangement, including vocal and percussion samples, drum programming and string orchestration by the arranger Wil Malone

+Filipe Henriques Do you know, I always find myself coming back to this song time & time again. Throughout the years. In ecstasy and in pain. This song just hits you where it needs to be hit. whatever the emotion at the time. This song suits it. If you were to ask the average musical aficionado have they heard of Massive Attack, the vast majority would not. But you're right, this song is a masterpiece. Pure genius. In 100 years time, this song will be listened to. And in 1,000. Epic accomplishment.

A mate of mine recorded this for me when it came out,I wasn't aware of much at the time I was at one my many lowest moments,reading The Idiot by Dostoyevsky.Drunk and off my face most of the time living in a 1 bedsit dump,in Battersea,a nutter close to the edge.This was ,and still is in my opinion one of the most beautiful,sad,and moving songs I've been lucky to hear.I'm now almost 63 very rarely off my face.But still am moved and eternally grateful to have grown up in a world where artists like these guys exist..It doesn't put food on your plate but music when it's this special feeds the soul,and man the soul really needs to be full !
