I wish there was more I could share with you about this music video. I needed something surreal, and I felt like doing the less common of the two David Sylvian videos that Anton Corbijn directed first.

Despite not finding anything out there on the video, there are still a few things I can point out. If you’re familiar with Corbijn videos, then you’ll recognize elements that he would reuse later on.

He seems to have a thing for birds.

You can also see the singer-laying-peacefully shot in this and Heart-Shaped Box.

Corbijn is known for his use of black-and-white, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t tint on occasion.

You can go on and on with his music videos. They all seem to connect together through the use of some shot, element, theme, technique, etc. That includes showing up in at least three of his own music videos.

Enjoy!
