Written in 1998, “Teardrop” is arguably one of Massive Attack’s most popular singles, reaching number 10 on the UK Singles Chart. It features vocals by Elizabeth Fraser of the Scottish band Cocteau Twins, who is known for her ethereal vocal effects and often indecipherable diction.
‘Teardrop’ began life as a simple harpsichord riff plucked by Neil Davidige one April day in 1997. Mushroom, who was the first in the band to hear this solitary riff, took an immediate liking to it, and he and Neil Davidige set to further work on it adding sombre piano chords and beats.
The working title for it at this time was “No Don’t”. Mushroom’s (whose attachment to the song was very high) number-one choice for a vocalist for the song was none other than Madonna, who Massive Attack had previously worked with back in 1995 on “I Want You”. However, both 3D and Daddy G, who had both now heard the early demo of the song at this stage, had another vocalist entirely in mind, Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins.
In the two-against-one split, eventually Mushroom lost out, though not before sending the backing track for ‘Teardrop’ to Madonna, who was apparently in love with the track and was disappointed when the rest of Massive Attack informed her that they already had a vocalist for the song. This is just one of the many occurrences one could cite for Mushroom’s gradual dislike for Massive Attack and, of course, gradual departure from the band in 1999.
While recording the song, Elizabeth Fraser learned of the death of her friend and former lover, Jeff Buckley.
This song is used in the TV series House, Cold Case and on season 1 of Prison Break. There was controversy over the song’s use in House, M.D., and eventually after a dispute with Fox Broadcasting Company the band discontinued its use in the show after its first season.
Послушайте, мой друг, «любить» — это глагол, который означает действие. Любовь — чувство есть плод любви-действия. Так любите же! Служите. Жертвуйте собой. Слушайте. Сопереживайте. Цените. Поддерживайте.

Любить, любить – это глагол,
Любить – это действенное слово.
Жизнь — это глагол, а не существительное.
Любить — это глагол, а не существительное. Это не какая-то вещь, определенная раз и навсегда. Любовь развивается, растет, поднимается, опускается… Любить значит действовать.
Многие заблуждаются, считая, что слово «любовь» — существительное. Как и «правда», «любовь» — это глагол. И означает действие.

Don’t drag me down
Just because you’re down.
And just cause you’re blue
Don’t make me too.
And though you’ve found
You need more than me
Don’t talk to me
About being free.

Love, love is a verb Love is a doing word Fearless on my breath Gentle impulsion Shakes me makes me lighter Fearless on my breath Teardrop on the fire Fearless on my breath Nine night of matter Black flowers blossom Fearless on my breath Black flowers blossom Fearless on my breath Teardrop on the fire Fearless on my breath Water is my eye Most faithful mirror Fearless on my breath Teardrop on the fire of a confession Fearless on my breath Most faithful mirror Fearless on my breath Teardrop on the fire Fearless on my breath Stumbling a little Stumbling a little

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
I feel like the sun might give way
Gentle implosions
Wakes and makes me tired
I feel this on my face
Teardrops on your fire
Burning in my heart, today
Teardrops on your fire
Burning away
Teardrops in your fire
Black flowers blossom
I feel like the sun might give way
Oceans in my head
Crash against my lonely bed
I feel like the sun might give way
Teardrops on your fire
Burning in my heart, today
Teardrops on your fire
Burning away
Teardrops on your fire
I feel them burning
Teardrops on your fire
Burning on your fire
Oh teardrops on your fire
Burning on your fire
Любовь, любовь это глагол
Любовь это делает слово
Я чувствую, что солнце может уступить
Нежные имплозии
Просыпается и заставляет меня устал
Я чувствую, что это на моем лице
Teardrops на вашем огня
Жжение в моем сердце , сегодня
Teardrops на вашем огня
Сжигание от
Teardrops в вашем огня
Черные цветы цвести
Я чувствую, что солнце может уступить
Океаны в моей голове
Авария против моей одинокой постели
Я чувствую, что солнце может уступить
Teardrops на вашем огня
Жжение в моем сердце , сегодня
Teardrops на вашем огня
Сжигание от
Teardrops на вашем огня
Я чувствую их сжигания
Teardrops на вашем огня
Сжигание на огонь
О Teardrops на огонь
Сжигание на огонь
