About The Video: 'Statues' is the 2nd ever single/music video release from the Yorkshire, Post Hardcore sextet 'Portraits' and will be the opening track on upcoming EP/Mini Album 'Will & Defiance' which is set for release in May 2014!
This video was filmed on a public walkway over 2 bridges on the outskirts of Dewsbury in the West Yorkshire, UK.
With no permissions to cut off any streets and no transport to get the bands equipment to the set location, the video displays a true DIY and CAN DO attitude towards the lack of wealth and other luxuries of convenience which a lot of other bands have today. Passers by and pedestrians can be seen on the video as the band simply cart their entire backline to the location using nothing but shopping trolleys to help them.
The video was filmed on a cheap budget and the band filmed for an entire 6 hours facing constant weather changes throughout the day and various struggle which led them to damaged equipment and a very tiring days work.
This video truly show commitment from an upcoming, passionate band.
This location was based on the theme of the song which talks about run down towns and the lows/addictive routines which effect the lives of many young adults in Britain today. Looking at subjects such as unemployment, drug addiction, alcoholism, lack of motivation or aspirations in life, narrow mindedness racial/religious feud, crime and vandalism. Speaking from the opinion of the common 'Chav', 'drop out' or 'Waster'.

Song Lyrics: How could you let your self fade away,
How could you let this fade away
This town is burning out
How could you let your self be stuck without a plan
Like everybody else.
Be brave
Be strong
Have heart
Another wasted day goes by
Be brave
Be strong
Have heart
Let go.
These 4 sides are the only sights to see
While you wash away your sorrows and smoke away your dreams, your dreams
Be brave
Be strong
Have heart
For me
Cause inside this statue
There's a beating heart x2
How can you fight in the shade
In the shade x2
The sky will fall, I'll die here
We'll fight in the shade x2
If an eye for an eye
Makes the whole world blind
This race will struggle until the end of time
An eye for an eye will
Make the whole world blind x2
This towns too old
To cover these mistakes
Forever wasting these distracted days
