Massive Attack’s Live With Me
I just saw for the second time the video to Massive Attack’s gorgeous new single Live With Me, featuring the sublime voice of soul legend Terry Callier, and I had to share. Not only is the song amazing, but the video, directed by Jonathan Glazer, just completely blew me away. 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. There is a quicktime stream of the video availalble here (requires Quicktime, obviously, although on Linux the MPlayer plugin played it in Firefox for me without problem).
