I Can't Be with You
"I Can't Be with You" is a song recorded by the Irish band the Cranberries. It was the third single from their second studio album "No Need to Argue", except in North America, where it was released as the fourth and final single of the album. The song achieved minor chart success in most of the European countries where it was released, peaking at number 21 in their native Ireland. In Iceland, the song reached number one for a week in April 1995, becoming the Cranberries' third consecutive number-one single there. Critical  reception. Music writer James Masterton described "I Can't Be with You" as "another epic single" from the Cranberries in his weekly UK chart commentary, adding that O'Riordan's yodelling "sounds as hauntingly lovely as ever". Music video. The accompanying music video to "I Can't Be with You" was directed by Samuel Bayer who was also the director of several of the band's other hit singles: "Zombie", "Ode to My Family", and "Ridiculous Thoughts". The video shows lead singer Dolores O'Riordan wearing 1920s clothing, kneeling beside a bed and bathing a child in a small bathtub. She then  appears walking through desolate buildings and streets with a wooden torch with an old man dressed as an angel often lurking in the background. Throughout the video the band is seen playing in grassland while wearing red suits. At the end of the video, the old man returns to the location where he was seen at the beginning of the clip. Parts of the video was filmed at Copped Hall in Epping. Track listings. 7-inch single CD single Limited-edition CD single Australian CD single (cardboard sleeve)
