My brother’s blanket

My brother’s blanket

Well, there is my brother’s blanket in all it’s glory, being modelled so nicely by my brother himself, but what on Earth does it have to do with this Massive Attack track Unfinished Sympathy?

So I was watching MTV one day (back in the days when MTV only played music all day rather than non-stop repeats of Pimp My Ride, Hogan Knows Best and My Sweet 16), and this video came on, and I realised that I had never sat and watched it all the way through before. I knew the jist, lady walks through a city, singing, but I never noticed the bit at 3:17. Go on, watch it for yourself now.

Are you back? Well, did that look familiar?

I have no idea where my Mum and/or Dad got it from, but David’s had it as long as I can remember, he used to have it on his bed every night back when we were little kids. I thought it was a bit freaky, David thought it was a bit freaky but when I showed the video to my Mum one day, she was in hysterics for hours – that’s what my Mum’s like, unfortunately…

Side by side comparison

I wonder if it’s ever turned up anywhere else?
