Writing To Reach You [Independiente]
This is a sentimental choice for me. It’s a beautiful video made by a guy who lives in west Cork. His two kids were in the video, throwing stones at Fran Healy (some would say that’s reason enough for it to be included, but I’m not like that). It uses lots of clever filmmaking tricks, and the atmosphere really fits the tune. It’s the Spitfire that does it for me though: I’m a bit of a War Museum fan, WWII to be more exact. (It’s the history and machinery, mind you, not the war part of it, that appeals to me.)
Also, it was one of Uaneen’s favourite videos and songs, so it’s part of my life, rather than just a video.
