A HUGE thank you to Andrew Lampert for requesting this song as your Pozible reward 'Play Me a Song". It was a brilliant and actually fairly creepy song, which was very fun re-interpreting, and we loved discovering it!
We had a lot of fun filming this video in one and only one take. As you can see, we have embraced our dark sides, inspired by the novellas of Tania Donald who recently sent them to us to read after saying our album helps her get in the mood to write, the filming aesthetics of The Blair Witch Project, and of course, the lyrics of this song.
Special thanks to the very brilliant musician and spontaneous and fun neighbour Didirri, who dropped everything to be "the guy" in this video. It was filmed in the Darebin Parklands, Melbourne. Because this song is obviously about a boy, an inner boy child, a wounded boy, we realised only on the way to film that we needed a boy in our video. We drove back to Didirri's house, knocked on his door, and said, come with us and film a video clip. He and Josh jumped up and came along - they only had 30 minutes though. We filmed it in one take, one shot, and were done in no time!
The dogs just appeared, and we don't know their names to credit them properly, and we absolutely swear no animals or humans were at all harmed in the making of this video.
