"'Safe from Harm'" is the third single and opening track from 'Blue Lines', the 1991 debut from Massive Attack, with vocals by Shara Nelson and Robert Del Naja. The bass, guitar, and drums are sampled from the song "Stratus" by Billy Cobham, from his album 'Spectrum' (with guitar by Tommy Bolin). Additional drums are sampled from "Good Old Music" by Funkadelic. Other samples come from Herbie Hancock's "Chameleon", and some of the background vocals are based on Johnny "Guitar" Watson's 1961 song 'Looking Back'.

"Safe from Harm" (Perfecto Mix) is featured at the end of the Michael Mann-directed movie 'The Insider'.

Inspiration



The liner notes to 'Blue Lines' mention the movie 'Taxi Driver' as an influence.
