Weather Storm

The original is track four of Massive Attack's Protection, 4:59, released September 26, 1994 on Wild Bunch and Circa, and was not a single. It was recorded in 1993 and 1994 at studios in London and Bristol. The credited writers include Vowles, Del Naja, Marshall, Hooper and Armstrong, with several more. Armstrong said in a 2023 interview with 15questions that it was co-written with Massive Attack and was more or less done in one day at Olympic studios, his contribution being a piano improvisation. On his own album he wanted to capture its contemplative atmosphere with strings. We could not confirm whether our upload is the 1998 album mix or a later piano re-recording.
