| Portishead – Humming Lyrics | 1 year ago |
| She’s obviously singing about herself, do you remember stevie nicks singing “ players only love you when your playing”, Beth probably was sick of sleazy guys (sat at the tables watching her) hitting on her hence why she looks so tired and fed up singing to them!, and may or may not have fantasised about luring them back stage and offing them after another meaningless embrace, the little switch back back to reality at the end to highlight this, it’s there as a disclaimer to remind us it’s a fantasy as she’s burning the memory of some genuine lover in her life (first guy) as the memories go up in smoke, that’s why she wasn't in the video herself as it would have been more obvious I feel, and I wouldn’t have said sci-fi or spooky for the music either..more sinister, epic song only just heard it for some reason, such a rare treat. | |
