ABOUT THE MUSIC VIDEO:
"We took the cornerstone idea of honesty and its fragility from the lyrics, and created a narrative that would be both completely surprising and utterly compelling," says co-director Ishbel Whittaker. "We wanted to make something that was playful and naughty, but also profound, raw and honest. We compressed 24 hours of a drunken rollercoaster of highs and lows, passion and heartache, into 4 minutes. We explore a frenzied relationship, and presented the viewer with something that might be seen at first glance as controversial or sensational, but break through this.... break through the fashionista styling, photo-shoot imagery, the beauty, the sexuality, the crazy night out... and try and find an intimate humanity that is shockingly real. We cast Hannah May and Andrea Chovanova to star. The fact that it's two girls shouldn't be an issue. We say "why not?" love is love..."

It's reality, not everything in the world is PG, that's just a fact of life. That's why people have the wonderful freedom to choose what they expose themselves to on a network such as Youtube.11 years ago

I agree, and I can go beyond, people wasted so much time in getting offended that didn't paid attention to the lyric and it's relation with the fact that the black haired girl is painted as sin to the blonde, which also appears as angel in a scene playing drums. While she is in bath desperated singing the words of the chorus the other one just don't give a damn and smoke her cigar, posing as a symbol of lust. I think this clip is acceptable, and interesting, even knowing it could be better...11 years ago

If people get upset by the video, there is a simple solution to your first world problem: simply just scroll down the page, or change the tab. It's not that hard.11 years ago

Am I "sure"? No, certainly a possible explanation, but I would say that would be more a case of the human brain trying to make sense of chaos. Why play drums (rather badly) wearing lingerie and angel wings, and why the condescending smoking while the other bathes? (Although I didn't really want a debate, just to thank you for a possible interpretation, and perhaps question it.)11 years ago

You sure it isn't about youth indulging in constant hedonism, and the ups and downs associated with it? Because it took me about two minutes to think of that as a possibility...11 years ago

Yeah, i can see your point. I personally just don't find anything wrong with it.11 years ago

I am not offended by the video, but it's cheap and nasty. There is little thought in it beyond lesbian chic. The tune stands on its own, but I think it's a real shame to have it over a video bereft of meaning. I find it annoying because it assumes I cannot think for myself and find the (often good) free porn sites. The video for Diamonds, by contrast, is oddly compelling. No real meaning either, but at least I don't wonder if the director lazily opted for the lowest common denominator.11 years ago

"The fact that it's two girls shouldn't be an issue. We say "why not?" love is love..." says the director... and it sells so much better, too! What a surprise!11 years ago
