Hi all

I've always loved this song and it's a song that should've been on The Joshua Tree, but the lads didn't have time to 'finish' it and eventually released an unfinished version as a b-side (Eno never had the time to remix it).

Luminous Times is a haunting song. A dark love song and I was aiming to capture that 'feeling' in my video. So the video is in black and white, for that reason, and uses footage from RAH and Joshua era pictures in its composition.

I slowed down the footage to try and create the right emotional feeling.

The reason I didn't go for a fully lip-synced song is basically because it didn't suit the mood of the track and I wanted a video that complimented the song's darkness. I have synced cymbals crashing or guitar chords at times because they aided the video's momentum.

My favourite lyric from this song sums it up "I love you cause I need to
Not because I need you".
