Bat for Lashes - I Saw a Light

a video i did a very long time ago for bat for lashes' song " i saw a light", off natasha khan's first album "fur and gold"

the video is based on some history points of the st pancras old church thats in camden, london, and also based around the work of Percy Bysshe Shelley, with a personal touch

the video is made out entirely of pictures

To my shame I'd not appreciated just how tragic, touching and heartbreaking this song is 'til I watched this vid. V atmospheric use of crematoria (as haunted by PB Shelley when wooing Mary): "Death in your arms...". Interesting reversal of the song's intro to the end. The frenetic frame-sequence climax incongrously reminded me of similar nightmarish life-flashing-before-one's-eye­s sequences at the end of Seasons 2 & 5 of The Wire (& none the worse for that if I'm not way off the mark).
