Hi I'm Nicolite. I am the director of the video for the sounds.
[Music plays]
The video is set on a fairground ride, and more takes place on a Waltzer.
and particularly on a brightened pier.

The Love of Silence by London Electricity
It's been written by Danny Goldman and myself.
I wrote the vocal part. It's based on a nightmare
that I had. The funny thing is
that... Nick who, uh, who wrote the script for this video
based it on, um, the scenery around the fun fair.
Um, and that's another really recurrent dream theme that I have
when I have nightmares they're usually on a fun fair
[music plays; vocal]
The general idea for the video is that Elsa, the singer
is hiding from the chaos around her
and she finds sanctuary in an unusual place
which is on a Watlzer cart.
[Instrumental]
the reason we've done all the speed stuff is because
Elsa starts off in a nice calm, tranquil place.
As things starts to get more intense a lot more
crazy the a, the, the every time we
speed it up and slowing down; the hard stuff.
[Music Plays: "Make it seem, there's nothing wrong"]
This song is about having voices in your head
that you can't get rid of
and you're trying really hard to kind of...
close them off, but you can't.
And they're just getting louder and louder.
The lyrics go, "Don't, don't say a word.
Help my eyes so I can see in color".
Um... and that's why this environment
is so great, because it's really colorful.
[Instrumental]
The biggest challenge we had, I mean,
I, I was laughing about this before
that, uh, it's really, really easy
to write the word Waltzer in a pitch.
And, [laughs] it's very, very, difficult to film on a Waltzer.
We needed the camera not to
move along with Elsa, so that if it felt
a lot calmer, a lot more tranquil.
So, I got in touch of my grip
and Cohen and he said that what we needed
to do is to get something
called a "zooka- bazuka"
So essentially it anchors the camera down.
[Psychedelic instrumental]
We had to film the ride
and get a fraction of its speed just for
for safety; more than anything.
And because there's so much movement going on.
You don't get the senses that it's going slower
on the, uh, in the video.
