Portishead - Seven Months Lyrics






How can I forget you
Disregard how I feel
Silently listen
To the words I can't see

For as long as I have tried
And as low as I can be
I will never resign myself
From the trial I seek

Why should I forgive you
After all that I've seen
Quietly whisper
When my heart wants to scream

For as long as I have tried
And as low as I can be
I will never resign myself
From the trial I seek

There's no time to rest
Or to reconsider
For this cruel unsaid, won't concede

For as long as I have tried
And as low as I can be
I will never resign myself
From the trial I seek

Portishead Seven Months Comments
  1. M.... W....

    Bwahaha. Umm...

  2. A.... E....

    Okay whoever edited this, why do we have to wait for a minute into the song for a closeup of the vocalist? The violin and the conductor are nice shots. But come on... We want to see the vocalist. I swear the conductor is featured in this every bit as much as Beth is. Not to minimize his contribution... But New York Philharmonic or not, he didn't write the music.

  3. H.... W....

    Beth Gibbons brings the fire.

  4. L.... I....

    thank you so much portishead for giving hip hop this great song to sample...slick rick and raekwon did this song justice

    L.... I....

    I love them
    But where is the hip hop....
    I hear scrarch band drums and her fantastic voice

    L.... I....

    Hope all will let be who they are !!!

  5. m.... ....

    Best female singer in my opinion.

  6. G.... e....

    komen.org for help

  7. R.... ....

    I LOVE PORTISHEAD !!!!!

  8. g.... s....

    Nenadjebivo

  9. K.... F....

    0:56 Hermoso...

  10. F.... P....

    Much respect!

  11. V.... L....

    I listen to this and I hear a James Bond theme that never was.

  12. C.... B....

    Justa y necesaria!

  13. Z.... M....

    one of my favorite songs for sure

  14. t.... ....

    shes the only singer that sounds as good live as a studio album.

  15. A.... M....

    DAMN! MISSED THIS ONE>>>SHAME...

  16. E.... L....

    Quelle voix!!!! et une justesse tout simplement parfaite!!! sans parler de l orchestre qui se marie si bien à cette déesse de la musique.... un grand bravo!!!!

  17. F.... D....

    that woman...

    F.... D....

    ThatGodess

    F.... D....

    Absolutely

  18. M.... ....

    Wish the RZA would make a few tracks for her to sing on.

    M.... ....

    RZA is no way near her ability, she is way out of his class. RZA music, like most rappers, is mostly acting, fairy tales, making up stories and lies. He does not have the raw emotion, brokeness and humility to produce music like this. No matter how talented a rapper he always will be

    M.... ....

    Better yet, she should join public enemy.

  19. S.... S....

    no puede existir tanta belleza en una canción, ¡Joderrr!

  20. A.... M....

    the violins sound like windows xp booting up

    A.... M....

    ahahahha i can't 😂😂

    A.... M....

    hahahaha

    A.... M....

    😂😂😂 so perfect

    A.... M....

    Funny comment and noticeable to the laymen... Probably more profound than you think considering it was released in 2001 and this song is late 90s. ' micro soft ' - heh. But in general ' windows' - ' obvious symbolism. ' x p' could mean a multitude of things to diffrent people but most noticeable to the kind of dorks that have been dorkin around with computer games for decades and d&d type book nerds as ' experience''points'. Anyway - I'm about to leave a ' link' to another video, late 80s that TOTALLY has that logo in a ' cats eye' before they released it... ' gates' style. And what a joy it will be for you connecting dots of all kinds of EASILY READABLE stupidity and shit. Sorry, man.

  26. G.... F....

  41. T.... ....

    @c0wboybebop how could she forget you..... disregard she wrote the lyrics.

  42. T.... T....

    What a fckn intepretation (regardless that she composed the lyrics)

  43. r.... ....

    strangers is my fave song from them

  44. r.... ....

    tricky and massive attack are good but portishead got more bangers than them.

  45. r.... ....

    this version is definitely better than the album version. that beat haunting beat and beths beautiful voice a match made in heaven. you can hear the hip hop in this song

  46. A.... ....

    absolutely love it, scratchinggets a bit annoying though, is in a lot of their songs.

  47. S.... ....

    dat riff

  48. D.... C....

    Man, and I thought the album version was sinister...

  49. V.... ....

    @royalnaz1 So Fuc*ing true!!!!!!!!

  50. r.... ....

    you got to like portishead. They are the originators of there own sound.

  51. N.... ....

    That's DJ Andy Smith

  52. Z.... P....

  53. Q.... ....

  60. H.... H....

    OMG...... THEY ARE SYMBOLS OF PURE PERFECTION

  61. L.... J....

    I LOVE PORTISHEAD!!!!! <3

  62. I.... N....

    One of my favorites!

  63. d.... ....

    This actually sounds better than the album, IMO. Freakin' awesome.

  64. K.... K....

    WOW! Never heard this 1! Her voice.....ooofffffffff wow! AND wit an orchestra behind it...!!!!!

  65. D.... ....

    @Ktmzqw lmao at your understanding of "Thrid" being 'too much.' That album had no flow, just mechanical beats, which, when done right, can be very good. Unfortunately for Portishead, mechanical music isn't their forte. The splash from the turd coming out of my anus and hitting the water makes a more interesting abstract sound than Portishead's "Third." That's fine, though... you keep on thinking your small brain is deep for liking it. Ciao, fag

  66. d.... ....

    fuck yea

  67. c.... c....

    Beth is SEXY.

  68. M.... ....

    @royalnash There are actually four albums, if you include this live concert CD

  69. D.... ....

    @royalnash nah, just the first two. The third one was crap

  70. C.... ....

    you know...just perfect!

    :D

  71. S.... ....

    holy... i was taken aback at first not only is she very talented, her voice is so regal and powerful sounding..

  72. g.... ....

    Ive had this DVD for close to 10 years and love it as much now as I did back then. I love it when a group plays a live show and the music is many times better live than on the album. Plus its a little more gritty in the delivery. It was an excellent performance and I bet the crowd can still remember it to this day as one of the best shows theyve seen.

  73. T.... G....

    1:12 Buzz Lightyear :D

  74. T.... ....

    Nothing much better

  75. Q.... ....

    I wish I had her voice! It hypnotizes me and makes me come back for more...

  76. P.... ....

    lol it's okay I did the same exact thing the other day

  77. P.... ....

    furvert101 - i was kind of agreeing with you not so much directing my comment torwards you.

  78. w.... ....

    Yeah dude Portishead, Massive Attack and Tricky are the original Trip Hoppers from Bristol.
    Think Smith and Mighty have contributed a lot and the sound is being progressed forward by
    new act AllFlaws

  79. P.... ....

    anyone see the connection between beth gibbons and the singer of jefferson air plane?

  80. P.... ....

    agreed. portishead is a very powerful band. you need powerful speakers to play them or you'll break your cheap ones trying. esp considering this recording was done with an entire orchestra.. you need to put more money in to your sound system buddy.

  81. D.... ....

    Incredible performance!!.

  82. R.... S....

    i love this

  83. S.... M....

    i love you beth gibbons!!!!

  84. L.... ....

    I SOOOOO wish I could've been at this show...this is a slice of REAL music.

  85. R.... I....

    Portishead rules

  86. C.... V....

    Great vid, very poor audio

  87. g.... p....

    I have this concert is so good...

  88. J.... M....

    True!! and agree with ya, Tricky have some background from portishead alredy, Massive attack made sth with them too! But with Bjork and Miss Tori Amos, would be sth amaizing!!

  89. D.... C....

    Read you history and you will find out..

  90. c.... ....

    tooo cool.

  91. M.... ....

    cheers bud i found out. Dirge by Death in vegas - great tune!

  92. n.... ....

    it would be great if Portishead collaborated and did something MORE in that style with Tricky Bjork Tori Amos

  93. T.... d....

    yo man, the only other place ive heard that sample on was mushroom jazz 3 by mark farina on a song called "collage" by urban backcountry. lemme know if thats it

  94. R.... I....

    the aura, the chemical of this song is so strong

  95. M.... ....
