Video directed by Maxine Peake. Featuring Maxine Peake and Shaun Evans (Silk, Endeavour)

Cherry Ghost has also unveiled a charming b/w video to the album's first single 'Clear Skies Ever Closer'. The video is the directorial debut of Maxine Peake and stars herself and Shaun Evans (Silk, Endeavour) as possibly estranged lovers wistfully contemplating their relationship.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Maxine Peake on the making of the video: "I've known Simon since 6th form and am a big fan of Cherry Ghost but bizarrely didn't realise they where one and the same.
"I only found out when Marc Riley informed me of the fact before inviting me along to a Cherry Ghost session for 6music. Which was absolutely stunning. So when Simon approached me to direct Clear Skies I hesitated for a second (as I've never directed anything in my life!) but I like a challenge and it was just too good an opportunity to pass up.
"I'd bought Shaun Evans 'Beneath the Burning Shoreline' as a birthday present a couple of years ago so I knew he wouldn't need much arm twisting to take part. Clear Skies Ever Closer is such a beautiful and evocative track, it was a real honour to try and represent Simon's artistry on screen.
"It was a steep learning curve but I thoroughly enjoyed it."

    Simon Aldred, Bolton's finest undiscovered genius, i could weep for this band, so good and so ignored, nobody writes quality songs like this, some of his songs Crowded House would be proud of, i rate Simon so highly as a writer and singer, a genius in my eyes.

    To me they're as good if not better than Coldplay who I really like. Their music is no gentle and sensitive, so sad that they never got a break, the recognition that they deserved.

    In five flights of true blue grace You drag your bags to Gare du Nord The crude tracks of love that streak Roll down your cheeks and hit the floor Cross the way to the wind I watch you slip away But seasons will turn And I will do the same Clear skies ever closer All of our goodbyes we will get over Oh, the darkness descends down on me again Through it all you stood tall And in the photograph You have caught me in my prime Love and lust, girl, shoulders wide A token of a kind of time When the weight of the world Would skip across your lips And I know, the universe It's at my fingertips Clear skies ever closer All of our goodbyes we will get over Oh, the darkness descends down on me again Through it all you stood tall I'm in love, I'm in love with I'm in love, I'm in love with Shine a light on the whispering Clear skies ever closer All of our goodbyes we will get over Oh, the darkness descends down on me again Through it all you stood tall
