Perhaps the most harrowing part of Saturday Come Slow is the desperation you feel in Damon Albarn's voice. The lyrics are pretty benign, but paired with the pain implied in his voice it becomes entirely sorrowful. The video for the song matches this sorrow with an almost mini-documentary about the torture tactics employed at Abu Ghraib. A victim discusses his awful experiences at the hands of US interrogators using loud music as a form of torture. Meanwhile, the track is distorted to show the damaging effects.
Sorry, no snark here, just a pretty powerful track made even more so by another insightful video from Massive Attack.
