Hymn of the Big Wheel
When life feels too big, let it turn 🌀

Closing Massive Attack's debut, it's a slow, meditative reflection on life's turning wheel and the world we're born into.
Uneasy and searching→Calm and grounded
Feelings it meets
What it is
"Hymn of the Big Wheel" is the closing track of Massive Attack's 1991 debut album Blue Lines, sung by Horace Andy, with Robert Del Naja and Neneh Cherry among its writers. In 1991 interviews Del Naja described it as a father-and-son conversation about the future that asks questions rather than offering answers, with an environmental concern and a global outlook.
