About This Track

Teardrop is a song by Massive Attack which was first released on their 1998 album Mezzanine. It was released as a single on April 21, 1998. The song became another UK hit for the group, peaking at number 10 on the UK singles chart, and later becoming well-known as the theme for US television series House MD.

The original version of the song features vocals by Elizabeth Fraser (of the Cocteau Twins). Fraser’s vocal part was recorded just after she was given the news that Jeff Buckley, with whom she had a close personal relationship, was missing in the Wolf River of Memphis, Tennessee.

The song’s music video featured a fetus in the womb, lip-syncing the song. It was directed by Walter Stern.

    If House can lead people to this song, then this song should lead people to Cocteau Twins

    I've never seen House so I wouldn't know if it was shite. However I remember when this came out , I went out and bought the album on the strength of the one track. Beautiful.

    I wouldn't call it a "shite program"; It was good for the first season (I own that one). But I agree with your point about it leading to better things. I actually discovered Massive Attack properly, via iceburg radio's trip-hop section, but became aware of them when looking up Tricky(he had a song on the Queen Of The Damned soundtrack).
