it's a style that is ancient in quality, and rare. It's beyond words, it resonates an old tribal rhythm. I dig it. It's delivered with such purity.

Guys i know how u love originals and how ur tryin to be all loyal to it, but this version is amazing and so is her voice and there is no doubt that this version is amazing and well sang.

(reply to below) I'm not sorry, you can hear the masterpiece, studio version with Liz Fraser anywhere! This is an amazing variation by the quintessential Martina Topley-Bird! She was the vocalist on Tricky's Maxinquaye (amongst other amazing projects)! GREAT UPLOAD! RIP Mina Mazy!

Love Martina's voice. The lead guitarist is killer ...

BUT WITH THIS VOICE IS ...... AMAZING ....... 👍 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This version is more... mystical I would say? Love it as well.

KCRW...my favourite radio station. Wish Massive Attack and Clint Mansell would collaborate and make a super album.

Her voice is so unique...beautiful and enchanting.

" tear drop turn to fire " --- thats so moving .

My goodness the guitar in this sends shivers down my spine.

wow chilly cool, very clear version thank u

Oh very nice ... Love it !!! My heartbeat is running to the rhythm ^^

This song was great!!! I like the beats in it.

Martina Topley, love her :D

Martina topley-bird is simply incredible, she has a really great "pathos"...astonishing. The only question is: where exactly is horace andy?

what a voice....

@SIMONDUKEN Difference is, this is a live performance. Elizabeth Frazer's vocals were recorded over numerous takes in a studio and digitally mastered to sound the way they do on the record.

wonderful. i wish i had this for my ipod.

love this tune so chill just my style

Love it!

Her voice so amazingly beautiful

@NeoFreeWorld No. The woman that sings on the album is Liz Frazer of the Cocteau Twins.

I just saw their ad for a concert in Düsseldorf

i love this girl

omg, this is beautiful

Que rajado y que banda mas buena!! Me encanta esta cancion!!!

MY FRIENDS, THE ORIGINAL TRACK WAS ISSUED IN ... ..... 1 9 9 8 .........

3:39 ... So beautiful.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is perfection.

@Karol2d you can download it..but if i were you i would had support massive attack by buying the album Mezzanine.

Nice - (Not overproduced) Reverb is so often overdone. This was perfect.

This arrangement with the 808-ish drum and pattern is more accessible. This could've been a radio hit.

A dream, a faraway dream.

Where's a stamp when I need 1 :'/....I've been searching 4 this exact video for years now! Trip on ma friends...trip on!

Perfect

beautiful!

Martina is the Best!!!

In a weird way..........i like it!

House m.d.'s captions brought me

Superb.

How did this get by me ?😮❤

Miieeerdaa! Q' pegue con esta canción!!!

Martina is different for sure, but she's GOOD.

Liz Fraser always best singer who sings teardrop no lie there

enchanting

Martina Topley-Bird!

@NeoFreeWorld yes

I wish I had an Ipod

so agree .

I'm chilled as a mother fucker right now.

💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕

@thecelt001 no someone said that martina topley bird is the original...i like them both but this song sounds better by elizabeth frazer. peace!! have a nice summer holidays!!!

@Screep5 Man this is Martina Topley Bird she has worked with Tricky...Check her out :)She is not grandma..

THE ORIGINAL, IS WITH ....... LIZ FRASER IN 1 9 9 8

bellisima

less is more....powerful

Its ''teardrop on the fire'' but what you say actually sounds better haha

I don't like this version. Not because of Martina. But, I like how the old song grows to an epic final. But this version, there's no epic end =( .

wow 👍. ..

@TllGrrl google "audio extraction" to save this vid's audio in mp3 format using its web address (from the address window at the top of your browser). I wanted to give you a website but this was blocked by YT.

You can.

Liz Frazer IS THE FUCKIN ORIGINAL SINGER OF THIS SONG!!!!DONT DRIVE ME CRAZY PEOPLE!

HOUSEEEEEEEE!!!

Love her accent.

Can I buy somewhere this version? I need it!

i like it ultra slow

what happened to the live version of Babel from this set?

@RicaMOfficial 3...

@TllGrrl download it..

How can u be a perfectionist about someone elses work?

@Screep5 Are you serious??

singers name

8 people are fuckin' deaf.

maybe perfectionist is the wrong word

впечатление, будто ей выбили зубы...

@Screep5 "can't even english" = irony. also the lyrics of this song are barely English anyway

kinda oldest betaversion

im sorry but its is not the same voice.....

is she drunk or stoned? without massive delay we wouldn't hardly hear her voice. Sorry. Liz has done it.

Kind of weird.

@gibson8501 Shame on you..u screwed up the original and over rated the cover of newton...Hey...this is Massive Attack buddy!!Wake up!

I hate this music

Im a perfectionist so I don't like this.

I think I like this version even less because it is coming from Massive Attack themselves. If this was just some fanmade cover, I'd be like "okay, nice try". But this version has no pulse, no passion, Martina's vocals pale in comparison to THE Liz Fraser's. I just can't help but feel Liz's absence when I hear this, and that's never a good sign. Aurora actually did a cover that sounds much more harmonious to the orignal's energy, that's also saying something.

This is the worst version of this song ever recorded. Simply awful.

horrible solo guitars voice out of tune
