| December 2003 Feature: The Mull Scene |
In autumn 2003, AN TOBAR Arts Centre on Mull embarked upon an ambitious film project to develop videos to three tracks by up-and-coming young bands from the island.
As a HI~Arts Journal Christmas treat, you can download these impressive music videos from the links below.
CDs of the three bands, including the full-sized videos themselves are available from the An Tobar website.

"Making the video was a great experience for me. Discovering the way the various locations, shots and techniques came together was an amazing feeling. As I am studying music it was a delight to mould images around my song and I am extremely grateful in having the chance to work with Andy MacKinnon. Hopefully this will help promote my music further. Best bit is the close up of drummer Russell MacKinnon."

MY MIND
I sit on the edge of my seat
It’s cold
I reflect what’s written on that sheet
I fold
Why can’t I just write down what I feel
It comes from the heart even though it’s not real
We’re over one hour
We’re on our first date
Do I feel confused
Or do I feel great
I see you in the corner
I see you in the corner of my mind
I hear you at the back door
I hear you at the back door of my mind
We’re sticking together it won’t be forever. |

"The song itself came into being back in May, conceived and written on a golf course (!) so from the start it had a very natural feel to it - I particularly wanted the video to reflect that, and so we decided to film in Calgary woods, and on Calgary beach, both very beautiful spots that I've been visiting for years. We filmed in horrendously cold weather, but we all had a great time, fortified with lots of coffee and scones! I think Andy really captured the mood of the song, and I'm very pleased with the result."

FINAL CALL
Took a walk today to see
the sun turn rosy on the leaves
I thought of you
I'm tougher than I seem,
but I crumbled down.
Came back early, had a drink
watched the news it made me think of things inside
and my conclusion was I'm safe with you.
Could this be something more,
than we planned than we saw
could this be a final call,
and will I know,
when time comes for me. |

"We filmed the video in various locations; the campsite in Tobermory, behind the Aros Hall, and we also held a disco in which we played and which our friends attended (many of them now star in the video!) The feeling I experience when I am on stage, with Speechless, is one that words cannot describe but I feel that Andy’s amazing skills managed to capture my emotions and portray them through the video. The Mull Scene was an amazing experience and one that I am sure John B, Sorren, John M and myself shall never forget!"

SUCH A LIE
How can you face me, when you’ve replaced me?
And she calls herself a friend!
How will you face her, when you’ve betrayed her?
Does this story have an end?
Although the sun shines my world’s dark,
I’m like the flame without the spark.
I was sittin there, thinkin that you didn’t care,
Even though you told me.
I was wonderin how and why,
You could tell me such a lie,
When you said you loved me. |
