Lights Out, Words Gone has probably one of my favorite videos that we have.
We basically set up a competition where people could submit their own ideas and their own
videos and someone just sent this three minute clip of this, I suppose it's like a weekend
dance event that they have in a square in this rural Mexican town.
I think it's probably common all over the country that elderly folk get together and
dance.
And it's just that for three minutes, but there's something so [F] beautiful about it and
it really fitted the song well.
Just kind of, there's pure happiness in these people just dancing and enjoying music.
It'd be interesting to listen to what they were really dancing to, because to us it was
probably some [Ab] fast paced kind of acoustic.
And shortly after we finished the video we were playing in Mexico City and actually stumbled
across a very similar scene.
And Lucy Rose who sings on the song went and had a dance with some old [Abm] man.
[Bb] It went full [Ab] circle.
