Is it Chris looking at the camera at 4:21 just before Neil's appearance? :think:

"It´s fundamental that we do only exist in our own universe. When you like Pet Shop Boys, you are in our world. This is absolutely crucial to our entire outlook...what we do has an incredibly strong identity and applies only to us. It´s a case of not recognising the existence of anybody else!". Neil Tennant.

Can't see Chris, only Neil's sweet noggin and then both of them.

What a strange video though... Even the mice did not have this effect on me. :shock: Interesting... :?

The PSB have a history of great videos - this is one of the better ones. Could possibly get some play and lead to a fourth single?

I´ve had problems with Youtube today so I´ll download it on my computer first.

I don`t know if this is the official video or not (to early, the single isn`t even released yet and at the same time it`s made to good to be unofficial), but I liked it!
It`s very russian to my point of view... snow, uniform, I notised one russian word there which means "brave". The video reminds me about Blockade of Leningrad (old name of St.Petersburg city) during World War 2.
just as simple as that

Bloody YT won't let me see the last twenty seconds of the video :cry: Nice video, very manieristic, a cross between "Citizen Kane" and "Battleship Potemkin" tied to Diane Warren is a rather PSB-ish concept :wink: It also reminds me a bit of the RLD video concept, but it's endlessly better than the other one...

Must be influenced in some way by Potemkin.
Sure: the people faces seem taken from the characters of Potemkin. Very Russian video

popjustice says """"Very moving etc but it is not too late to re-shoot the video"""

I agree!

Just wondering... but could it be possible that some of this video was originally produced for a cancelled Battleship Potempkin video... for example "No Time for Tears"?

I agree with mostly everyone here, it is a great video that fits the song. And it does look official. You can tell when the video is not official, like the one for 'Integral' that is on the Youtube also.

Strange video but very original !!!

I LIKE IT and it feels very Potemkin.
This must be the place I waited years to leave
