Dig Up by Dublin band After the Ibis
Video director Cormac Ó Conaire sez:
The video is completely inspired by the lyrics. I loved how Dig Up (taken from the début album Busy Waiting) could be interpreted as either deeply introspective or as socio-political commentary …on being judged by material worth. The narrative of the video was based on cold, inanimate particles slowly coming to life, becoming colourful and evolving into something beautiful… As Carl Sagan said were all made of star stuff.
