Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy
I know that I’ve imagined love before
And how it could be with you
Really hurt me, baby, really cut me, baby
How can you have a day without a night?
You’re the book that I have opened
And now I’ve got to know much more
The curiousness of your potential kiss
Has got my mind and body aching
Really hurt me, baby, really cut me,
baby How can you have a day without a night?
You’re the book that I have opened
And now l’ve got to know much more
Like a soul without a mind
In a body without a heart
I’m missing every part
He he-hey, he he-hey, he he-hey, ay, ay
Aye, aye, aye, aye
Like a soul without a mind
In a body without a heart
I’m missing every part
Like a soul without a mind
In a body without a heart
I’m missing every part
Like a soul without a mind
In a body without a heart
I’m missing every part (part, part, part)
I don’t know where this one came from
I don’t know where this, I don’t know where this
I don’t know where this one came from
Background
“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. 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-writer and 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.mThe 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, composed by Jonny Dollar and later arranged by Wil Malone.
