Beth Orton - Magpie : Official Music Video
Shot by Sigur Ros collaborators Arni & Kinski, styled by Hrafnhildur "Raven" Hólmgeirsdóttir, Bjork's stylist, written and performed by the ever-talented Beth Orton.
Is there a classier collaboration in music this week? We think not.
Inspired by Beth's song and feeling this film needed to be pushed into an unexpected, new, mysterious and exhilarating place, we took a trip to the high altitude desert of the great Colorado sand dunes," the directors explained.
"A trip of trust, a trip into the unknown, heat strokes, hallucinations and magic." It's truly touching and inspiring stuff.
Just to sweeten the deal, we've also tracked down a very cool live version of the song as performed on The Late Show with David Letterman, home of some of the most significant musical moments in history. That's no lie, the theatre where Letterman tapes was also home to The Beatles infamous Ed Sullivan show appearance.
Yeah, it's awesome, we'd knew you'd like it.
