Jailbird

I’m very late to this party, but I just can’t stop watching this video.

I’d be hard pressed to find another music video that weaved such a perfect marriage of imagery and music. Apparently the scenes are from a  Spanish movie called the Spirit of the Beehive made in 1973 and it looks absolutely stunning.

Spitting chips that the gods have conspired against me and I wont be seeing Jim White tomorrow, but I guess ya can’t always get what ya want.

  1. Jim White is an absolutely brilliant, absolutely unique soul. You gotta check out “Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus”. Brilliant.

    Cheers!

  2. can’t say i’m much of a fan, although i have just started reading ‘the book thief.’
    what’s you’re take on it? i’m arguing whether to continue or not

  3. Bloody hell.

    That is amazing.

  4. earl: Thanks for the recommendation. Will do.

    kiki: Hard to put my finger on why I was finding it impossible to stick with. I think maybe because it reads like a movie. Can’t stand books like that. But yeah, I’ve given up for the moment. Life’s too short.

    KC: Most definitely.

  5. amazing amazing video..

  6. It is a very pretty song and clip. Thanks for introducing me to Jim White. I noticed you have been listening to Otis Redding – I had a hankering to listen to him the other day…think I’ll dig out the cd.
