Late Junction (Radio 3) played me again on Thursday!
Flattered as always to be on the undisputed best show on radio. That’s 4 different songs Max Reinhardt has played of mine now so over the moon really – although shouldn’t I be rolling in money by now?
“vincent burke South Londons wry singer-songwriter and chronicler of our times has been busy cooking up a demo to make sure the chocolate hearts (on Valentines day) are bitter sweet – can I just explain?”
‘Such a natural macrocosm of real life in a 3 minute pop song. Totally won me over with its unforced charm and restraint..’ M.J.Bennet
thanks!
it’s brutal, but with jokes…
the idea is to catch something of the truth about what people say when things break up, not how it is in songs.
music:
the film is all from old super 8 footage of weddings – it took ages – but I think it really works. Throwing rice looks appropriately violent slowed down, and look out for apples of temptation over the wedding car at the end…
video:
can I just explain?
I don’t want to fight
i don’t want to do this tonight
it was just a fling
no it didn’t mean anything
you were acting like a stranger
turning your back in the dark
now this marriage is in danger
tell me we’re not falling apart
I was working late
I had those appointments to make
she let down her hair
I could feel the thrill in the air
you were acting like a stranger
I was alone in the dark
now this marriage is in danger
tell me we’re not falling apart
would you like some tea?
would you like to throw it at me?
do you feel the same?
maybe I won’t do it again
you were acting like a stranger
turning your back in the dark
now this marriage is in danger
tell me we’re not falling apart
