massive obession

massive attack is a recent obession of mine, i know i'm only 15 years late, but bettter late than never. not to mention that for most of those 15 years i was attracted to different types of music. during that time i developed a passion for singer/songwriters and modern rock. My sister has influenced my taste of classic rock and just plain rock and roll. she has always liked good music and I haven't. I do now, but it's always an uphill battle convincing her of this. She still judges me by my top 40 phase in high school. I'm starting to make headway but when i told her i've been delving into electronic music she about choked. i, like my sister, avoided electronica since it evoked sounds of "axel f" from beverly hills cop or some guy, any guy with a casio. so when i came across "collected" at work and heard tracey thorn sing "protection" i was intrigued. i actually had one of our A&R guys confirm that i could say "trip hop" without sounding like a fool. i've been massively obessed since then. the lyrics are amazing. and the music is unpredictable but soothing at the same time. one bonus of discovering a band 15 years late, i have not had to wait for a new album. as one becomes familiar i've been able to get the next one.
unfinished sympathy is my current song obession...

I know that i've been mad in 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 I've got to know much more
Like a soul without a mindIn a body without a heart
I'm missing every part
