"John Keats"

Director - Tamsin Comrie
DOP - Blair Mowat

The Fates - three blind sisters who measure out and cut the threads of our lives - dance in their workshop to Ryan O'Reilly's "John Keats". The eponymous poet, thumbing through old photographs, is found by the sisters, and transported to another world. I wanted to evoke the Fates in this song because the song is about life being cut off before you've achieved anything great, and because a key feature of Keats's poetry is reference to Classical, mythical figures.

Shot in London in The Idle Hour, Barnes, and Hampstead Heath.
