This film, using Simple Minds 'Spirited Away' from the new album 'Big Music' was created from an idea by Elisa Daru and Christian Ossanna, both are lifetime Simple Minds fans.
Elisa who is a choreographer and ex-professional ballerina at international level is artistic director of the school "E'Danza" in Bolzano, north Italy.
Elisa together with husband Christian, created the film as a fusion of their work and their passion for the music of Simple Minds. The project was achieved thanks to collaboration with Karin De Prezzo, Giulia Manica, Elena Masiero, Pamela Murgia and Giulia Manzato, "E' Danza" ballerinas.
Special thanks go to Kurt Moser (director of photography and lights), Roland Seppi (camera and editing) and Roberto Condotta (camera) who gave their total commitment with enthusiasm in the realisation of the video.
Thanks also to Stefanie Passler for her contribution, to Ingrid Blasbichler for make-up and to Business Location Sudtirol for granting use of the location.
Elisa and Christian kindly state, "Above all, thanks to Simple Minds who continue to inspire us with their music……"
"Spirited Away"
I’m not a complicated guy
I like life as simple as can be
There’s so much I don’t understand
So much I fail to see
But we got spirited away
Got separated in the night
Somehow we drifted from our path
Spirits in the night
Spirited away
Somehow the doors became unlocked
And our love just slipped away
Back then I hoped that we could talk
Though I don’t know what I’d say
But we got spirited away
And separated in the night
Somehow we drifted from our path
Spirits in the night
Yeah we were spirited away
Into some time some other place
Where I would learn to live with lies
And I would never see your face
Spirited away
Years have passed since then
So many moments I have spent
Memories don’t fade with time
Maybe this is how it’s meant
That we would separate like stars
Together since birth
No longer see things from afar
No longer walk on the same earth
Cos we were spirited away
Got separated in the night
Yeah we drifted from the path
We took our own internal flight
Yeah we were spirited away
Into some time some other place
Where I would learn to live the lie
But I would never see your face
Yeah we were spirited away
I’m not a complicated guy
I like life as simple as can be
There’s so much I don’t understand
So much I fail to see
But we got spirited away..
