protection  

1994 yılının bomba albümlerinden. ayrıca trip hop un en temel tabiri caizse giriş albümüdür. protection gibi muhteşemlikle başlar ardından hemmen karma coma ve three derken bi bakarsınız tüm şarkılar bitmiş alet cd yi tekrar çalmaya başlamıştır. bir de gözlemlerime göre metal müzik deryasının derinliklerine dalanlar bu albümü pek bi tutmaktadır çünkü metalcilere bir nevii nefes aldırmaktadır.

şarkısının sözleri ise

this girl i know needs some shelter
she don't believe anyone can help her
she's doing so much harm, doing so much damage
but you don't want to get involved
you tell her she can manage
and you can't change the way she feels
but you could put your arms around her

i know you want to live yourself
but could you forgive yourself
if you left her just the way
you found her

i stand in front of you
i'll take the force of the blow
protection

i stand in front of you
i'll take the force of the blow
protection

you're a boy and i'm a girl
but you know you can lean on me
and i don't have no fear
i'll take on any man here
who says that's not the way it should be

i stand in front of you
i'll take the force of the blow
protection

i stand in front of you
i'll take the force of the blow
protection

she's a girl and you're a boy
sometimes you look so small, look so small
you've got a baby of your own
when your baby's gone, she'll be the one
to catch you when you fall

i stand in front of you
i'll take the force of the blow
protection

i stand in front of you
i'll take the force of the blow
protection

you're a girl and i'm a boy [x4]

sometimes you look so small, need some shelter
just runnin' round and round, helter skelter
and i've leaned on me for years
now you can lean on me
and that's more than love, that's the way it should be
now i can't change the way you feel
but i can put my arms around you
that's just part of the deal
that's the way i feel
i'll put my arms around you

i stand in front of you
i'll take the force of the blow
protection

i stand in front of you
i'll take the force of the blow
protection

you're a boy and i'm a girl [x4]

donna summerın belki de en bilinen şarkısıdır. hayret ki sözleri yazılmamış.

night after night
i keep holding on
you say you love me
then you leave me so lonely
baby i don't believe a word you're saying
i think it's all some evil game you're playing

still all day long all i do is think about you
you got me believin' that i can't live without you
well if you want it, here's my confession
baby i can't help it, you're my obsession

protection, that's what i need
i need protection, baby, from your love
protection, that's what i need
i need protection, baby, from your love

i wait at home by the telephone
when i call your house, baby, you're not there
knock on the door and i rush down the stairs
when i open up, baby, you're not there
when we're together
when we're together and you put your arms around me

you keep my mind
forever, ever in doubt
you want me believing
that, baby, i can't live without

protection, that's what i need
i need protection, baby, from your love
protection, that's what i need
i need protection, baby, from your love

we stand alone, at my window
and stare out, at the shadows down below
i feel your fingers on my face
i want to stay, i want to run away

protection, that's what i need
i need protection, baby, from your love
protection, that's what i need
i need protection, baby, from your love

kafamı attıran şarkılardan biridir massive attack versiyonu. neden hep kızların korunmaya ihtiyacı olduğunu iddia eder bu şarkılar, erkekler de bak bu şarkı bize ne kadar uygun diye böyle şarkıları seçip yollar bilemem ama bu şarkı da aşağıdaki sözleriyle kızları koruma ve kollama derneği tarafından yazılmış şarkılara aday gösterilebilir.

"this girl i know needs some shelter
she don't believe anyone can help her
she's doing so much harm, doing so much damage
but you don't want to get involved
you tell her she can manage
and you can't change the way she feels
but you could put your arms around her "


s"he's a girl and you're a boy
sometimes you look so small, look so small
you've got a baby of your own
when your baby's gone, she'll be the one
to catch you when you fall"

çok çok güzel bir donna summer şarkısı.bu şarkıya giri girmek için bahar ve yaz ayları beklenir.ama akla bişey gelmezse alışılmış itüsözlük görünümüne geri dönülür.şarkıya alkışla tempo tutulur.

massive attack'in bu şarkısının son 1,5 dakikası bizlere yağmur eşliğinde sunulmuştur. bu yüzden özellikle yağmurlu kış gecelerinin vazgeçilmez uyku şarkılarındandır. sanırım vokalde tracey thorn var.

hani konser biter, canlı müzik kesilir, ortamdaki insanlar dağılır, etraf silinip süpürülürken banttan rastgele bir şarkı çalar, arkadan. öyle bir havası var sanki massive attack'a ait olanın.
nötrlüğünden belki, ne hüzünlü ne neşeli.

"and you can't change the way she feels
but you could put your arms around her"
