This is the first time I've had a video made that wasn't simply a recording of me singing live or in my bedroom.
I met the author and illustrator, Shoo Rayner at The Wigtown Book Festival and after seeing me sing live he offered to help me put together my first ever music video.
With a little help from my Dad, we went into a friendly bookshop and took over a corner to film. We then did a bit more filming outside, where I had to do a bit of acting, (sort of) - that was harder than I thought it would be.
Shoo then put all the different bits of footage together and this is the result. I think it's brilliant and it's inspired me to get my Dad to make some videos for my other songs. Thanks Shoo.
You should really check out Shoo's channel too http://www.youtube.com/user/ShooRaynerDrawing
And thanks too to Ian and Joyce from The Old Bank Bookshop.

Lyrics to 35 Missed Calls - (Music and Lyrics Copyright © 2011 Zoe Bestel)
65 texts on your phone
All from me, I know you ain't alone
35 missed calls from me
We need to talk pretty urgently
They said that they heard you
That they heard you talk to her again
They say that they saw you
That they saw you kiss her again
Please say they're wrong
17 email left unread
You won't read anything I've said
22 DMs on twitter
That you 'won't get' till much much later
They said that they heard you
That they heard you talk to her again
They say that they saw you
That they saw you kiss her again
Please say they're wrong
But I will never know
If it was meant to be
Or it was all just lies
And you were kidding me
My heart's now open wide
Just for you to see
Just have the guts to say goodbye
You could have just, told me that they
heard you, that they heard you
Talk to her again
Why didn't you, tell me that they saw you
That they saw you kiss her again
I guess it's goodbye.
beautiful voice, a song that haunts. You are so talented.
