Right here’s what vocalist James Bauman needed to say in regards to the observe and video:
“Getting older, letting go of the livin’-at-the-bar, carefree social gathering way of life and adapting to maturity might be fairly fucking tough and unhappy. We used to spend a lot time on the bar proven within the video, coincidently named “The Vid,” quick for Video Saloon and infamous for these lengthy stairs proven within the video and talked about within the music. Strolling up these stairs often led to at least one helluva night time. Or, perhaps the night time didn’t actually begin till strolling down them at 3 am.”
