"I Can't Be with You" is a 1994 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 in Fall 1995.
The song achieved minor chart success in most of the European countries where it was released, peaking at #21 in Ireland, its highest position in the various charts. This single was less successful than the previous Cranberries' singles.
The 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".
It shows lead singer Dolores O'Riordan, wearing 1920's clothing, kneeling beside a bed and holding a young toddler and bathing him 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.
