'Little Thoughts' - the video

"The starting point for the video was to have something bright and colourful,
to contrast with the 'Banquet' video, which was very grainy and black and
white.

There was no great concept behind it, it's just an attempt to
capture some of the energy of our band playing and of the song itself. It's us
playing in a room. It's got quite a naive feel to it too, because it's
using quite unsophisticated video graphic techniques - us transposed quite
roughly against all these Atari-style colour blocks... it kind of harks back to
the days when music videos were still quite a novelty and people would chuck quite inappropriate ideas at it to make it
kind of glow and to be seen to
be exploiting the technology available. These days if you want to make it
look  like a band is playing inside a computer game you can do it with a lot
more sophistication than this does, but that wasn't the point of this video...
it had a lot more to do with applying some of the principals of video
graphics to a song in a really analogue way, rather than in a polished, digital
way.

It's like the song in that sense, in that's got quite a polished feel to
it, while retaining the energy and the rawness of the elements of the song and the sentiment of the song. When you
hear the song you'll hear a song with
a real upbeat summeriness to it, but when you listen to the words you'll realise it's not as straightforward as that."
