Hopefully we will be able to edit our film in black and white, as i think it will add to the vintage theme of the music video, it is set in wartime Britain in 1942, after the attack on Pearl Harbor by the japanese - the Americans have finally joined forces officially with the British, and the war has gotten more intense - with more and more soldiers being sent out on the front line.
The video focuses primarily on a young english couple - newlyweds and starting their lives together. But the husband is sent to war, leaving a heartbroken wife, who soon discovers she is pregnant - alone. Her husbands sister moves in with her, to care for her in her condition, and to avoid leaving her on her own. After waiting for months for her husbands return - having carried and gave birth to a baby daughter within in this time-space, she is broken the news that her husband has been killed in battle.
Devastated and unable to cope, the final scene in the video is her packing her bags - leaving her sister-in-law and her child behind, and walking alone down a forlorn street - her future unknown.
That is the general premise of the narrative of our music video.
