A song that makes me think of Brokeback Mountain

Mine too, Massive Attack has been one of my all-time favourite bands for about 15 years now! I remember they are from Bristol, yes! :) Do you like any of their other songs?

For me their 2 stand out albums are 'Blue Lines' and 'Mezzanine' (which is so accessible and yet so wierd at the same time - I absolutely adore it and it would definitely be in my top 10 favourite albums of all time). My favourite 3 tracks from each? From 'Blue Lines' it would be 'Unfinished Sympathy', 'Safe From Harm' and 'Day Dreaming', and from 'Mezzanine' (how to choose?!) it would be 'Angel', 'Teardrop' (which I'm listening to right now and it's giving me goosebumps...) and 'Black Milk' (the last 2 with amazing vocals from Elizabeth Fraser). So yeah, you could say I'm a bit of a fan! ;)
BTW, I've discovered that 'Black Milk' is great, er, making out music! ;)

Yeah, I do agree that Mezzanine is a weird mixture of accessible and weird, it's one of the most special albums there is I think. It's got a special place in my heart. I also have the singles box that came out after Mezzanine, it has all the remixes and there are some very good ones on it. I love Teardrop, in fact, I think we should post the lyrics here, because they are quite appropriate, don't you think? I also love the video to that! :)
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
Nine night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath
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
Stumbling a little
Stumbling a little

Insensitive ~ Jann Arden
How do you cool your lips
After a summer’s kiss?
How do you rid the sweat
After the body bliss?
How do you turn your eyes
From the romantic glare?
How do you block the sound
Of a voice you’d know anywhere?

I have the song now, David (David925) asked some friends and found somebody who had the CD. It's very nice, it even has a BBM- guitar twang, did you hear that? :)

I know I'm dating myself, here, but I'm in a Pat Benatar frame of mind tonight. And I've always loved these songs, and even moreso now that they make me think of our boys:
Shadows of the Night
We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end.
You said oh girl boy, it's a cold world
When you keep it all to yourself.
I said you can't hide on the inside
All the pain you've ever felt.
Ransom my heart, but baby don't look back
'Cause we got nobody else.
Chorus:
We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end.
You know that sometimes it feels like
It's all moving way too fast
Use every alibi and words you deny
That love ain't meant to last.
You can cry tough baby, it's all right
You can let me down easy, but not tonight.
We're running with the shadows of the night
So baby take my hand, you'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end
And now the hands of time are standin' still
Midnight angel, won't you say you will?
We Belong
Many times I've tried to tell you
Many times I've cried alone
Always I'm surprised how well you
Cut my feelings to the bone
Don't want to leave you really
I've invested too much time
To give you up that easy
To the doubts that complicate your mind
Chorus:
We belong to the light
We belong to the thunder
We belong to the sound of the words
We've both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace
For worse or for better
We belong, we belong
We belong together
Maybe it's a sign of weakness
When I don't know what to say
Maybe I just wouldnt know
What to do with my strength anyway
Have we become a habit?
Do we distort the facts?
Now there's no looking forward
Now there's no turning back
When you say
(chorus)
Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Close your eyes and try to dream
Clear your mind and do your best
To try and wash the palette clean
We can't begin to know it
How much we really care
I hear your voice inside me
I see your face everywhere
Still you say
(chorus)

I've always loved this the most: I hear your voice inside me, I see your face everywhere.
God, that's just the shit.
