A Little Gothic Gem

I first saw this video about 28 years ago and its impact has remained with me. I was delighted to find that some benefactor had a copy and had uploaded it to YouTube. No doubt many of you are familiar with the "art" of pop videos, but I truly believe that this one is something special.



It helps of course that I liked the work of the artiste, Lene Lovich, with her blend of horror-movie chic and eastern European mystique.

A good song and a great video interpretation. Enjoy it as I am sure that you will.

À bientôt

  1. This is such a long time ago! We shot it in a studio just off Berkley Square - don't remember the name/address exactly, but a lot of makeup!
    Good to see it again - it must be 25 years since the last viewing.

  2. I had no idea it was not all-location effort - even in part; wasn't some of it shot in Highgate Cemetary?

    Some great ideas there - and what a great single "Bird Song" was!
