This video is much late in coming and is actually one of the acts that precursed this very video blog, rocketing into existence. Craft Spells is a relatively new band that offers incredibly beautiful songs that coincide with their brilliant videos. Watch this one from start to finish, it has elements of humor that meld gently with its darker themes. Those jingly-jangly guitars and professional bouncy bass seems to come right out of The Smiths school of songwriting. I personally feel their style of guitar based orchestration is very well suited to fit this band's casually smooth vocalist.

This track earns the heritage award for the Summer 2015. It was one of the early voices of pro-environmental policies way back in the 1980s. It's even more relevant now, Thanks Mr. Byrne. It features an all-star cast of some of highly lauded musicians including The Smith's Johnny Marr, and the late vocalist Kirsty MacColl. The video itself also features some groundbreaking video technology at the time, which are the moving typefaces that run all over the screen at key sections.
