A mate of mine sent me something on what Darren said about the meaning of the video Casey and i thought i'd share it with you guys. if you dont wanna know about the meaning of the video untill you see it next yr... please dont read! Heylo. I was looking at some of the comments and reactions to the Casey video and thought I'd give you all a bit more info as to what to expect from the final version. First of all, the sequence I've shown you at the moment is near the end of the track (duh) but the basic premise is simple : A boy in a coma is woken by his memories kick starting his heart. The video begins with the narrator in a room like a futuristic hospital. He is in a medical chair with elecrodes and cables hooked up to machines. He is in a coma or some kind of life support. We've deliberately made the location ambiguous. It could be space, it could be the future. He could have been there for years of just an hour. The point is he's not conscious. Around him are ojbects of affection : photos of he and his family, toys, happy memories. An atari machine and even a photo of an old yello car. All of which are designed to perhaps wake him from his state. Lasers scan his body looking for signs of life. The camera travels inside his mind and it is in this world that the Casey car is born. Through the power of his memory and the will of happiness past he is literally awakened by his happier memories. The car travels around the body, collecting these and 'starting up' pieces of him that have been frozen for so long. It's a video that to me is extremely emotional. No it's not literal but in many ways it is. When I see it I think of people I've lost in the past few years and how in a perfect world how amazing it would be to live in a world where something as silly and childlike as a 'memory machine' could have saved them. I think of Shane. I think of Collin. And I think of the notion that perhaps we never really pass on. Our moments just get stuck somewhere and that all it takes to be eternal is to be rememered. So that's what the video means to me. As with everything on 'This Delicate Thing' my greatest influence has been the power of remembering. Of choosing to see the light instead of just feeling the dark. In all my woes as a child or even as a young man, I always relied upon the power of my imagination as an escape vehicle. Hence, the video for Casey. You'll see it properly in 2008. But here's some things to look out for *Damian, the director, absolutely is a fan of the movie 'innerspace' so well done for spotting that. But see if you can spot the 'casey' icon he developed that adorns my uniform and some of the electrodes attached to my body. *Have a good look at some of the objects surrounding me in the chair. There's a photo of me and my Mother on holidays in Hawaii. *There's a real photo of the actual Casey car ( if you blink you'll miss it ) . |

I don't mind there not being a 'live action' version after reading all that. I think it's going to be quite emotional viewing. |
