Suburban Spell premiers ‘When I Die’ video now on Side-Line
Suburban Spell
Premiering now on Side-Line is the brand new Suburban Spell video for “When I Die”. “When I Die” is about euthanasia and the ability for oneself to choose to die with dignity. Peter Endall explains that “it’s a first person view of reaching the final stages of life and is what I think you would be thinking about when you have to make that decision.”
And he adds that lyrically “the track offers a mixture of pathos, humour, confusion and perhaps the fear and hope that your years of dedicated atheism is about to be tested (…) the song has a very dark theme, but I didn’t want it to be too turgid or dour, I wanted the music to be in contrast with this and lift the overall message to another place with a wry sense of humour. There is also reference to the life partner and recognition of the difficulties that they will have to face when presented with this scenario, hopefully this somber message is balanced with the decent pop song sensibilities.”
The video clip for this song was shot at an old Nun’s convent, apt for the song’s central theme. The Video was filmed and edited by Dingo Cross Films.
Suburban Spell is the project of the Melbourne, Australia-based artist Peter Endall who was the keyboardist for 1980s Melbourne synthpop band Schizo Scherzo. He recently took up songwriting again after a long hiatus. Influenced by 1970s and 80s synth pop and electronica, Suburban Spell is an instrumental project merging modern electronica through the lenses of Kraftwerk and Jean-Michel Jarre with edges of shoegaze guitar pop.
