Es hätte mich aus diversen Gründen doch sehr gewundert, wenn sich das Quartett aus Manchester und Regisseurin Jem Goulding jegliche schwule Thematik hätten verkneifen können, hehe. Was aber trotz aller Vorhersehbarkeit absolut kein Kritikpunkt ist, ich find das sehr gelungen, und das siebenminütige Melancholieschlachtschiff (Gott, das muss die schlimmste Metapher sein, die ich in letzter Zeit verbrochen habe) aus "The Shadow of Heaven" begeistert mich ohnedies auch ohne bewegte Bilder.

As a director the track was a dream because it was emotive enough to carry a weighted story, but gentle enough to act as a kind of score for moving imagery. Anything too literal would have been cliched, so I devised a story that drew on elements both the band and I felt were relevant to now, things like fake internet personas leading to confused identity, disposable friendships; the negative effects of artificial light and how it interferes with us more than we realize. The artificial light omitted from the computers is a metaphor for the artificial promises we are sometimes fooled by in the city I guess.

and we all can go home
'cause there's nothing as sad
as a man on his back
counting stars
