I love how bands and musicians spend so much time and effort on the humble music video. Here's five more recent videos from Irish artists.
Fiach - Lullaby
Producer/Director - Bob Kelly
The video concept is explained here: "So we hatched a plan to learn a song backwards and from there it grew and developed. We then decided to make it a walking video and mapped out a route. The route involved getting lucky with traffic lights, cars and indeed human traffic and all in one take as well. It also involved me walking backwards throughout. So what you see is the reverse of me walking and singing backwards, which makes me look (slightly) normal and everybody else in backwards mode? Lost? Thought so, watch the video and it will become clearer."
