Well this is an old song of mine, though it was rerecorded with real guitar, cello and vocals in a studio , I have a special love for this one because it's one of my oldest and one i often play accoustic with piano and cello only so it has a special vibe for me.
The video was made in London, in a casual walk, we did not have the equipment with us, no special garments, make up or atrezzo, but we managed with the camera we had to get some footage... because what was important is that we found the most gorgeous willow very similar to the watercolour i had painted myself for the cd, it was not prepared though we thought quickly about to follow the storyline of the lyrics, the result was not a high resolution video but a video for the websites and here it is:
This is one of the songs of the ghost side in Ancient Shadows album, we shooted this in london, was not planned but found a willow very close to the one i had painted in watercolour, so we went for it, and it was intended to be made for fun, and finally is shows as a video for the websites only... hope you like it, it makes more sense along with the lyrics so they're posted down there.

ORIGINAL LYRICS
Beware ...
Beware ...
go to find a safer place to rest
When you hear the willow's hiss
beware if you dare dream neath its leaves
beware, go to find a safer place
It mourns the forest that it once dwelt
It mourns the birds that had left their nests
and flew away ...
When the willow sings half alive
it releases all the pain it hides inside
if you hear its song alone
You fall sleep and your soul is gone
This willow has bitter heart
This willow has bitter soul
so...
Beware...

This video just proves, that independent music can MOVE!
I mean... this low budget production has emotion and offers something for the audience, while many high-$$$-productions are 'lame ducks' compared to this!
thanks both of you
really deep from the heart
it was not intended to be a serious video when done, thanks god i was in black but we had no equipment and we found the place so we gathered some footage in the very moment to see if we could make the story afterwards, i'm making now a video for away, but i'm afraid i have still to wait for a properly recorded video still
oh i forgot
i leave you with a pic of me yesterday performing in expoecosalud fair
it was a humble performance most of it, me and a keyboard, sort of accoustic versions of the songs, in this one I was performing "Now that you're gone" ahora que te has ido, kira's theme
and i was wearing my wings
to be honest it was not a very confortable performance due to tech problems neither the place was very pretty, it took place in the open room of Barcelona's fair palace, and the fair was too huge to keep much attention to a small act in between, too crowdy and too open and spread but i had a magic moment when a fan started to cry with one of the songs I dedicated to her... this lovely couple have attended to the lattest four performances and last time had requested a song I never play (sueño muerto) when I did, she was feeling it so much, that I had difficulties to finish myself, i think that when this little things happen, even if they're a few, you really feel it all worth.
