Track DescriptionAvailable in:
"Live with Me" is a song by Massive Attack which was included in their 2006 compilation album, Collected, and was also released as a single. The song is notable for the critical acclaim it garnered due to its haunting lyrics, soulful vocals, and emotional string section. Vocals were supplied by the acclaimed soul singer Terry Callier, who was 60 at the time the song was recorded. Callier was an American jazz, soul and folk guitarist singer-songwriter from Chicago, Illinois, who has won a UN Peace Award for his humanitarian work promoting peace through his songs.
The music video features a young woman (played by Kirsty Shepheard) drinking heavily, to the point of excess. The video was directed by Jonathan Glazer. One review of the video described it as follows: "It’s uncomfortable viewing, but I found it really haunting. It features a young (mid twenties) professional-looking woman drinking herself into oblivion on her own in her flat. I can’t really put my finger on what it is about it that I find so arresting, but I thought it was an incredibly powerful four minute film." The setting of the video clip and of the off licence store featuring in it is an area that includes Caledonian Road and Walworth road in London.
