Delivering a beautifully shot, ghostly, timeless gem,
un-signed director Andy had this to say about the promo:
“The video was shot at an abandoned RAF base in Hampshire on
a tiny budget and was only made possible by the love and dedication of the
entire cast and crew who worked tirelessly with me to turn this idea into a
reality”.
Keane also expressed delight at his winning entry:
“We loved Andy Marsh’s video for Black Rain. There’s a
heartbreaking sense of a young boy’s dreams gone awry, a yearning for innocent
times and high hopes, of love and kindness remembered in the face of violence
and fear.
Of course, I can’t say whether that’s what was intended at
all! But either way the atmosphere of this story fits beautifully with the
sense of the song, and even the sense of Strangeland as a record.
“The ghostly and surreal mood of the video also works
perfectly with the feel of the music itself – sound and visuals complement each
other and give each other more power, which is the ultimate achievement for a
music video.”
