Massive Attack - Live With Me 

Everyone has their own story. Timeless piece.

this song helped me to stop drinking alcohol, 15 months i am clean

massive attack is truly a gift to the world.

When I saw this video for the first time, I cried but I paradoxically felt less alone, knowing that the suffering I was going through was something other people could relate to and were also living through at the same time as me.

This is probably one of the best videos made from massive attack. It's sooo heartbreaking to watch her get so wasted so quickly, so incredibly sad. I do know well I did know what that feeling was like , to go to the liquor store , getting your drink, and getting home not even taking your coat off you just I just needed that first sip of beer ( the first sip was always the best) unfortunately. Then beer following wine and then vodka. Shit. The spins the f&@& awful hangovers , followed by panic attacks, followed by more trips to the liquor store. I always felt guilty going there , I was beginning to feel embarrassed the more I went. I kept drinking wine or beer, the withdrawal from no alcohol was awful and scary. I did stupid things being drunk, it wasn't always fun, it was pretty fucking Lonley( well for me) most of the times. It's been over 10 years now , I'm sober. And it's taken a lot of support and encouragement from people in my life, to help me understand to help me get better and pratice self care. Anyways love this band , beautifully made video.

That was better than the last 20 movies I saw. Is anyone else crying right now? What a performance!

if this doesnt hit u all in the feels - youre dead inside...what a masterpiece...

My life , for many years !!! Today, conscience and control, day by day !!!

God this has got to be one of the most fucked up and heartbreaking videos I’ve ever seen. How many suffer in silence like this?

The rushed walk home is all too relatable... Quick, quick.. get behind your closed the door

This is the best representation of alcoholism I’ve ever seen. -coming from an alcoholic. The image. The mannequin of success. And then this. It’s perfect. When she reaches for the bottle instead of the phone. Yep. That is 100. “I drink around people. I get drunk alone.” -Leo McGary, ‘the west wing’

My best friend presented me Massive Attack, this song and so much more nearly 20 years ago. He passed away last month due to a sudden stroke at 36. The world lost the most talented, smart, passionated and lovely dude ever. Thanks, Thiago. Will always love you, dude.

28 months today. Feel solid. Need to re-visit this once in a while.

Sadness, lonely, isolation, fed up with life, hide behind drink, does humanity really care, few folk really care, massive attack bring to light the reality.

I discovered this song a few years ago at just the right time. When I could appreciate and understand what was being shown, when I could relate to the loneliness and found it difficult to get through. It's almost like Terry is crying out to the girl in the video, massive attack is truly a gift to the world. This is one of their master pieces which I'll probably treasure to the grave. And it got me through, I promised myself I wouldn't let myself go like that. The last few seconds in the video, when the strings play that haunting tune, you could see the glimmer of hope in her eyes. Gosh what a brilliant video and masterful song.

This is one of those rare moments in life when a perfect lyric is interpreted by the perfect singer, Terry Collier's voice is just the voice for this song, the soul for this song. And then they make the perfect video for the song, so thank you. This is like a gift.

Emotional, thought provoking, abstract and most importantly, timeless Massive Attack

"When you're born into trouble you live the blues"

The end of this video brings up the many conflicting emotions of being intoxicated. That feeling of not being in control. At the same time, not caring about the realistic dangers of your surroundings but focusing just on the beauty of the night sky. Like that one moment takes away the pain of her broken heart.

Today is my first day clean in months , idk why but my soul needed to feel this song more than ever

This song was playing when the absolute love of my life told me she was leaving me forever, like 3 days before Xmas. Havent loved since and its been years...Got drunk many times watching this video as it is burned into my brain and heart for always. Never had a problem drinking but i cut alcohol completely for 7 year now. Made a promise to a pal who died of cancer 2 months later that i would always think of him since we were drinking buddies; told him every time i wanted to drink i'd think of him and not drink at all... Sometimes i'd like to get drunk to that song again...just to vent and unwind but i dont since i promised. I miss the woman of my life and i miss my pal who was more a brother to me for 40 years. And when i see her drinking like that in the video i think i'd maybe like to destroy myself like this too. But i promised... and that promise keeps me from drinking the pain away because i never had the courage to end it all. This song to me is the musical representation of what a hole on your soul is ... I'll always love you my Evie and i miss you a lot my brother Dan. Wish you were both still in my life...

The days become weeks, weeks become months, months become years and sorrow remains your constant companion.

18 years sober and eternally grateful.this video is so powerful from Bristols finest band

That vision of her falling down the stairs was so haunting, the downward spiral (excuse the reference) into bleak hopelessness and despair... I've never been a drug addict (IMO alcohol is a drug), but I have dealt with an eating disorder and it shares a lot of similarities... luckily I had a supportive family and things to live for that helped my recovery but a lot of people don't.

as an alcoholic, this hit home. 6 months sober and counting.

i think the most painful thing is letting go of someone you love. you live with a continuous pain in your heart. every morning, every evening, you miss them..at the end of the day, you wipe your tears-regardless of what happened, you wish them the best. You pray for them every time.. .in memory of someone who loved this track... miss you!

It don't matter when you turn Gonna survive You live and learn I've been thinking about you, baby By the light of dawn A midnight blue, day and night I've been missing you I've been thinking about you, baby Almost makes me crazy Come and live with me Either way, win or lose When you're born into trouble You live the blues I've been thinking about you, baby See it almost makes me crazy Child, nothing's right, if you ain't here I'll give all that I have just to keep you near I wrote you a letter, I tried to make it clear That you just don't believe that I'm sincere I've been thinking about you, baby Plans and schemes Hopes and fears Dreams that deny for all these years I, I've been thinking about you, baby Living with me, well I've been thinking about you, baby Makes me wanna, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Child, nothing's right, if you ain't here I'll give all that I have just to keep you near I wrote you a letter, darling, tried to make it clear Oh, but you just don't believe that I'm sincere I've been thinking about you, baby I want you to live with me, well I've been thinking about you, baby I want you to live with me

I've watched this video dozens of times because this reflects my behaviour, and I'm scared. I'm scared of the reality of admitting how lonely I feel, how much my life has slipped while I wasn't paying attention, how much work will be involved in setting things straight, and how far I could fall if I were to not be completely sure of the decision to change. I'm scared of continuing on the same path, but I'm absolutely terrified of the idea of trying to change and failing in the process.

When you're born into trouble, you live the blues...

This is simply overwhelming, the music, the vocals, the lady, the hopelessness of living... going outside to inhale a bit of fresh air.

I love this song and the video. Ive been clean and sober for six years now but the video is still devastating. I was living alone because my marriage had fallen apart, largely because of my problems with alcohol and drugs. I met someone i loved desperately. Truly it was that once in a lifetime kind of thing. I'd never felt such love for another person like i did with her Absolutely nothing was right when she wasnt there. I hated not being with her. We were well and truly on our own little love cloud. She lived in another city so we were doing the long distance thing whereby she'd come to see me every now and then and i'd go to see her. One night she was in town and she told me she'd been unfaithful to me. It was like being stabbed in the heart. I never felt such pain and hurt as i did then. The wheels fell off. Too many nights like the one depicted in the clip. Its not nice coming to on your front lawn with no idea how you got there or waking up on a park bench miles from home with no idea how you got there. Thats just two of many examples i could give that happened over 30 odd years.. Its good to sometimes be reminded how bad things were for way too many years (i started when i was 16 and i stopped toward the end of my 40s. I have made a lot of bad decisions in my life but getting sober was not one of them. Great song, great clip

This is the saddest and most beautiful videoclip ever.

Have you ever had your heart broken? You soon realise that it not only gets broken, but spat on, stamped on, scolded, frozen, stolen, given to someone you don't even know or like, then the empty gap becomes infected with misery, rots, eats away at what's left of you, & corrupts all aspects of life except escapism. You wear sadness like old leather, until one day you wake up with it still on; you never take it off, & that sadness becomes your solace; giving you the power to write songs like this.

God I love massive attack. They are so underrated. Angel...teardrop...live with me. Be still my heart.

One word - masterpiece

Kirsty Shepheard - in a just world you should of had a oscar for this performance. Absolutely outstanding.

Songs like this prove that Massive Attack is one of the most under-rated bands ever.

Never once have I listened to this song without weeping. It tears my heart out. The sadness is too much to bear.

This masterpiece is about that terrible emptiness what we try to fill in different ways...

Какой фантастический диссонанс. И как это мудро и глубоко... Молитва текста и безнадёжный ужас видео. Сколько душевных сил и таланта было вложено... Я много лет знала только текст. Только слышала. Не видела клипа. Мало сказать потрясение. Перевернуло душу соединение слова и изображения. Спасибо создателям за мужество и мастерство

The older I get the more this video speaks to me. The emotions this song/video projects is just so raw and relatable.

I was an alcoholic for 10 years (from when I was 14 to 24). Got worse after the Army and as I got older. Done this so many fucking times, still get drunk every once and a while. Try not to though. Just ruins everything, at least for me. Well I ruin things because I have been drinking, can't blame a liquid for my problems. Just sitting in an apartment by yourself lonely as fuck getting drunk. Always looking for a love that cannot bartered traded or sold and would always be worth far more than fame,power, and gold. Never finding it because you don't love yourself *sigh* the farther away I get from drinking the closer I feel to not being alone. Fall off the wagon now and then but just got to get back on. Love, Massive Attack. These dudes, Groove Armada, and Handsome Boy Modeling School prolly put out most of the music I listen to.

Hits home soooo much , I used to pour it down the sink then go buy more to drink, the battle is intense for sure ,I thank the heaven stars to be 11 years clean and sober 💙

Massive Attack is pretty much the only band/music collaborative where I enjoy ALL of their music.

“Sometimes falling, feels like flying...At least in the beginning ‘till you feel like dying”

this song breaks my heart

This might very well be the single most powerful music video ever made! The music is (as always with massive attack) excellent, but the video is god damn epic! Most theater movies can only dream of this level of intensity and rock solid sincereness! I salute the makers of this piece of everlasting art!

This art piece summarizes the feeling of losing somebody so beautifully. Struck right in the core of the soul. I wish everybody a safe recovery

Depression can be cruel.

I'm 43 years old and I've properly listened to music for most of those years. This track aches in a way that I don't think I've ever heard before. Vocals, bassline, strings, drums, arrangement and production. It's just all exactly where it needs to be. Raw talent and ability is what this is. Team it with a gritty video. Boom. Only Massive Attack!

Che dire? Glazer ,il regista, fra qualche ora riceverà un Oscar.

After all these years, still hits home.... song is just honest to the core.... blues in its best!!!

I've felt and done this exact thing. loss of control, drinking yourself into oblivion. but not as an alcoholic, as a wounded person. inside and out. it's lonely here.

Woo, hoo It don't matter when you turn Gonna survive You live and learn I've been thinkin' about you, baby By the light of dawn A midnight blue, day and night I've been missing you I've been thinkin' about you, baby Almost makes me crazy Come and live with me Either way, win or lose When you're born into trouble You live the blues I've been thinkin' about you, baby See it almost makes me crazy Times, nothing's right, if you ain't here I'll give all that I have just to keep you near I wrote you a letter, I tried to make it clear That you just don't believe that I'm sincere I've been thinking about you, baby Woo, hoo, hoo Plans and schemes Hopes and fears Dreams that deny for all these years I, I've been thinkin' about you, baby Living with me, wow I've been thinkin' about you, baby Makes me wanna Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo Yeah, yeah, yeah Times, nothing's right, if you ain't here I'll give all that I have just to keep you near I wrote you a letter, darling tried to make it clear But you just don't believe that I'm sincere I've been thinkin' about you, baby I want you to live with me, wow I've been thinkin' about you, baby I want you to live with me

Douloureux et souffrance great video merci de france si triste terrible magnifique groupe Massive Attack 😭😭 RIP Angelo Bruschini le 23/10/2023💔🖤

This song always makes me cry. Beautiful and heartbreaking.

R.I.P. Garikai Punungwe. I love you so much, you really tried to fight your demons and you lost. It hurts so much but I know you’re finally at peace now. Which is all you were ever trying to find. I love you little brother, I will keep you alive in my memory. You were and are my best friend. In dreams I wrap my arms around you 💔

People who are deep thinking emotional types will understand this video perfectly. I can relate and would like to meet you sometime. Stay strong my friend.

This song made always tears in my eyes, because I had people in my circle of relatives, who died as a result of alcoholism!

The more I listened to this song, the sadder it got, at this point I'm partially crying. But please, to all people out there going through rough times, whatever you do, no matter how bad things are, know that you will find somebody, if you didn't already, that will care about you and will be devastated seeing you destroy yourself. Stay strong! It will get better eventually.

Rolling down the spiral staircase is that feeling when you're flat on your back and the world is spinning. Don't miss that in the years since I stopped.

I'm from Bristol and have grown up with this band and struggle to pick a favourite M.A. song but love this one to bits. It's a real shame the singer, Terry Callier, died in 2012.

Blues scale played on strings, a softly distorted Rhodes and Terry's voice to tie it all together. Not to mention the powerful lyrics. Perfect melancholy.

Every times i hear this song , i can't control my tears.

This song cuts me to the core. Every single time. The video hits me in the soul. Every single time. That feeling is pure, refined twenty-four karet emotion and it makes my heart open like a sinkhole. It makes me miss every person I've ever lost in my life, and there have been a lot of them. That's art for you.

This is the mirror of my Past. Found it and it still works on me . Great Song, great Video 💗 Greetings from Germany

I always think the saddest part is when her phone is ringing and it could be anybody. someone she loves, a friend to help, maybe even the very person she's missing. And instead of picking up the phone that could change thangs for her.... She goes for the bottle...

That feeling you get from the first sip of beer, after work, living a terrible and uneventful life. In my car after work, stopping by the booze shop, cracking the first one during afternoon commute, sometimes taking the longer way home, to have couple of them. Just breaking free of everything, the past, all the failures. That first sip, that fucking sip of thirst.

This video will always be relevant. Timeless stuff.

i cried when watching this . my close friend is struggling with drink and drugs .kids theres nothing glamorous about them

Эта песня пропитана таким дистиллированным отчаянием.. 😢 да, наверное у каждого на планете были такие моменты в жизни, когда так хочется выжечь себя изнутри. Все кто читают - желаю вам всем добра и сил!

This is so hard to watch, such a brilliant depiction of alcoholism. Certainly one of best music videos I've seen.

The beauty of sorrow and 'want'....perfectly captured in this story. As only Massive can do it.....

Masterpiece!!! Really gives me goosebumps and flashbacks of my youth years when we thought this would be fun :(

This has been hitting me for 12 years and counting... Still coming back here...

Absolute Art! I am sober for 1y5m after 42 years of my life. Crying always while watching, soo deep!

having a vodka/massive attack night myself.......they are so brilliant.

One of the best musical groups of all time. Their music is so moving. The instrumentals ❤️

When I discovered this song years ago, watching the video was like watching myself. So it’s not just a song for me, it’s a feeling. 9 years later, 6 years sober but still tears in my eyes. Thank you, Massive Attack, for creating a masterpiece that planted the seed of change within me. Might’ve taken longer for it to bloom but it did.

Only those who live in loneliness can really appreciate this song..

I remember being in an absolutely fkd up relationship, loving that person to the bits and dreaming of being with him, living with him. I was so heartbroken, so desperate. This song is made of tears and strongest emotions lived.

Manche hier von uns kennen das nur zu gut.Ich wünsche mir für alle die dieses Problem haben;good luck❤

This song is hitting me harder when I'm getting old.

Been there done that... loneliness is a slow killer. Great real life song

Can't stop crying after watching and listening to the music. I know how she feels, no matter if you are rich and have amazing family this disgusting illness like depression controlling your life. Whay we can't love eachother???

this was me for 10 years. 2 years sober now

This is one of the most beautifully heartbreaking films I have ever felt.

I`m not an alcoholic, but this song, this video has made me cry a lot, has made me fell so little, miserable and at the same incredibly empathetic and compassionate.

Terry Calier is such a great voice! I love him!

That rolling down the staircase scene is exactly how it feels.. accurate af 🔥😵

I’m an alcoholic, but I’ve never consumed it like this woman does. I used to finish a 1.75 in 3 days, always mixed, and have never liked shots. I suppose it doesn’t matter how it goes in, but more a matter of how it “comes out”. No, not vomit, but how it ruins life.

Какая невероятно красивая и одновременно грустная песня... Я заслушиваюсь и тону в ней как в необъятном океане... Потрясающая работа!

This tore me up. Been in recovery over five years now.

Привет из Минска. Слушаю Вас больше 20 лет. Вы до сих пор лучшие. Спасибо Вам за вашу работу

An absolute masterpiece.

Excellent music, as expected, but crushingly sad, beautiful video.

as an alcoholic, this hit home. 6 months sober and counting. this song helped me to stop drinking alcohol, 15 moths i am clean

I always wonder how a little boy from Spanish Harlem, was so drawn to these icons from Bristol.. this is not music, this is art! Decades later as a man, we all in the struggle, we all hurting . Say less homies, Massive Attack i love y’all niccas

I’m watching this whilst drunk on vodka, deep. This music video makes you think alot an in a sense, it hits home an it’s deep as hell even for many of us sadly although I think I’m gonna stay clean an sober for a while man cause in the end drugs an alcohol might feel nice at the start but it gets dark very quick an kinda backs you into a corner we’re it’s either you’re happiness in life naturally or forced outlook which always leads to empty wallets an purses an souls too man. One love to each an everyone of you also who are going through the struggles man but please remember we are warriors in this life an we will come through regardless stronger! Keep our heads up! Peace an love x

Person of Interest. 1st season. Great song!
