Portishead is a band from Bristol, England, named after the small coastal town of Portishead, 12 miles west of Bristol. They are an important part of the trip-hopscene which started in Bristol in the 90's. With their tasteful use of live jazzsamples and intentionally lo-fisound, the band has been cited as influential by many modern musicians including guitarist Wes Borland, Hip-Hop star Kanye West, and underground producer DJ DangerMouse. (The name is pronounced ' -tiss-hed', with a hard 's' in the middle, and not ' por-ti-shed'). The band was formed in 1991, by keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist Geoff Barrowand singer Beth Gibbons.

Humming Lyrics
Portishead
Closer,
No hesitation,
Give me,
All that you have.
And its been so long,
That I cant explain
And its been so long,
Right now,so wrong.
Naked,
My thoughts are creeping,
Too late,
The show has begun.
cause its been so long,
That I cant confess,
And its been so long,
Right now so wrong.
Is it all as it seems
So unresolved, so unredeemed,
If I remain, how will I know.
cause its been so long,
That I cant be sure,
And its been so wrong,
Right now, so wrong.
