Through the storm, the darkness or through roads to nowhere. We all need to be loved. Our song is about love, but also about the fear and the searching, and the desires, and the hopes. The video was filmed in the UK, Spain and China. I also filmed people who came to our first and second gig in London. I like the fact that in this video the people who like our music appear as principal characters. In this\u00a0video there is a take of Stefan&#8217;s eyes and &#8216;the lucky thing&#8217; (filmed in a Beijing Buddhist temple). This image is in the artwork of our CD as well.
