LIGHT PARADES - SPARKLE NOW ONLINE!!

Today is the official release date of Light Parades’ Sparkle EP which also means that I can now show you the music video that Factotum Films shot in December! And here it is!

This was one of the toughest, if not THE toughest shoot we’ve ever done. The conditions, although it doesn’t look that way in the video, were very testing for the crew and especially for our Actor Jade Lindores. We shot the opening scene at 7am on a Saturday morning and it was wet and cold, between takes we had to wrap jade up to prevent her from getting hypothermia. The shoot took longer due to the rain going on and off.

Other annoyances were that it snowed over night while shooting which changed everything. But it gave the time travel element of the story a nice feel.

After that endurance test, editing and waiting tight lipped for the release date it gives me great pleasure to finally reveal this video and I hope you all enjoy it.

Written & Directed by - Tim Courtney
Produced by - Duncan Leishman

These are some pictures I took the other day when it stopped raining in Glasgow. It was around 3pm and the sun was hanging low in the sky. These were meant to be recce pictures for a music video but they fit my running theme at the moment.

Here are some more Katerwaul work in progress lyrics to accompany these photographs. 

You, Love & I

The sun will set behind your silhouette
And the clouds will glow red
For red is the colour of our love
And red is the colour of blood 

You, love & I when the tyrants have won
We’ll evaporate into the sun
Some memories are only lies
These memories won’t die

So either way we’ll dwindle & blaze
Then take hope in these sorrowful days

The Sleeping Garden

Goodbye Sleeping Garden
Farewell northern seas
For we’ll all have to slumber now
While the city crumbles to its knees

Goodbye Silver City
Farewell affluence & gold
The tyrants discontent
Will never replace the memories they stole

Goodbye a decade of love & loss
Farewell equality
I promise you’ll awake one day
To salvage your former glory

Then…

They’ll turn off their drills
Hold on…
They’ll turn off their drills
Hold on…

Departures

Sometimes its hard to believe in this world
Its easier to trust if you just shut your eyes
Depart to a place we understand
Everything that comes together
Will only be torn apart
And over our cities grass will grow
Depart Depart to a place we understand
