Only You was released as third single from the album "Portishead" (1997) Music video directed by Chris Cunningham in 1998. Set in a midnight brick alleyway, Chris combines the darkening dread of gangster films with the equally haunting fear of drowning, a fear Chris later explored in greater detail for flex. The video was filmed underwater, which, like Chris' video for Placebo, made the shoot a bit complicated. "We couldn't communicate through the water, there [were] divers splashing around, Beth had snot bubbles coming out of her nose, I was sitting there thinking - what the fuck am I going to do with this, it's a disaster." (Sleaze Nation) Regardless of the complications, the finished video wound up one of Chris' favorites. The music video is available on Chris' Directors Label DVD, and on Portishead's Roseland New York live DVD. iTunes mp3 download: itunes.apple.com Amazon.com "Portishead" CD album www.amazon.com Amazon.com "Roseland New York live" DVD www.amazon.com LYRICS We suffer everyday, what is it for These crimes of illusion are fooling us all And now I am weary and I feel like I do It's only you, who can tell me apart And it's only you, who can turn my wooden heart The size of our fight, it's just a dream We've crushed everything I can see, in this morning selfishly How we've failed and I feel like I do It's only you, who can tell me apart And it's only you, who can turn my wooden heart Now that we've chosen to take all we can This shade of autumn, a stale <b>...</b>
