• Videoclip - Angels Never Stay

    Angels Never Stay is a song about the inevitability of seperation from you loved ones.
    I used a high speed camera to do this and Laura A Dima danced a choreography on which we practiced for three days: 23 seconds were to be stretched to 5.23 – so you can imagine how precise she had to do the movements! One second late would mean more than 30 seconds late in the end result!

    Because the clip has no credits, I put them here:

  • Audio - Angels Never Stay

    However much we might think we found the love of our lives, inevitably we have to part at some time.
    Angels never Stay
    It’s when you see me
    that I’m not there
    Hold me closer and say you careI’m not myself dear
    I am what you think
    i am an angel tied down by your will
    One day I’ll spread my wings and fly
    Angels don’t stay, they just pass byDream on, my darling
    I do love you too
    But an angel is just an appearance
    One day I’ll spread my wings and fly
    Angels don’t stay, they just pass bycredits

  • Lyric - Angels Never Stay

    ‘Angels never Stay’ is about the unfortunate fact that we can never stay together forever, however much we love each other and however much don’t want to be without the other. Our reality is temporarily.
