Massive Attack

This song Angel, by Massive Attack is very beautifully done. The way the video and the music coincide, makes the viewer feel that they were each made for each other, not just one then the other. After hearing the song I began to wonder what exactly the softly sung lyrics meant. After researching this I believe that they are about a almost love hate relationship, something beautiful that can also destroy. The way the song is put together is very rhythmic and almost hypnotic to listen to.
This song by Massive Attack named Teardrop is interesting, beautiful, and a bit creepy. Again as in Angel the lyrics are sung in a very soft melodic voice, paired with a very rhythmic background the music becomes very soothing and hypnotic. When this sound is paired with the video however, it becomes something else entirely. I personally spent much more time paying attention to what was going on on the screen than really listening to what was being sung.
