"We all read about the Detroit Urban Farms project and saw the documentaries about it and it really moved us all. To see a community reclaiming the crumbling city blocks to grow the food they need is an incredible story in so many ways. It was moving, topical and also a beautiful and apt illustration of what the song is actually about - triumph over adversity. As a video concept, it was perfect in so many ways." - Above & Beyond's Tony McGuinness

Initially inspired by an article written by journalist Paul Harris on Detroit's urban renewal city farms in the Guardian newspaper, the video for Above & Beyond and Gareth Emery pres. OceanLab 'On A Good Day (Metropolis)' captures the song's essential meaning of triumph over adversity through the powerful, visual narrative of the Georgia Street Community Collective and their determination to make a better, brighter life for their local community.

Since the collapse of a once thriving automotive industry, Detroit has become known as a monument of urban decay with disused warehouses, derelict wasteland and vacant factories peppering the city. Georgia Street Community Collective are one of many organisations harnessing local action and bringing community volunteers together to create positive results -- regenerating wasteland as urban farms and community gardens.

seein that group shot of everyone at 8:51 laughing and smiling was just really emotional. such a diverse range of people there, all coming together to help one another, no racism b/s or nothing. just pure love and happiness, and thats deep.

I'm very disheartened that this has so few views. You guys are awesome for turning attention to things like this. As a fan, you've got 100% support from me.

The video shows only a single particular problem and brings up a solution for it. We all know that we've got many other problems around the world like this or worse... problems that we think they are impossible to be solved. However, the video showed what happens when everyone steps up together to make a difference. I hope people watch this video and think of what they could do to make this difference happen. To change the world... for the better.
