We had plans to make a video using this footage from the Amsterdam canals when 4am, landing came out. There were grand notions about putting a go pro inside the guitar and using green screen and all sorts, but it didn't work out technically, so we kinda missed the boat (excuse the pun) at the time, and didn't put any video out.

We figured it'd be a shame not to have something up on our YouTube channel for this tune though, so we edited the footage together and made a wee lyric video. Thanks so much to Laura McDowell for shooting and editing this. It was great fun making it!

Due to unforeseen and totally avoidable technical issues that were 100% my fault, we've had to pull the song from streaming platforms for now and will be releasing again very soon (this time on the correct artist page).

Thanks to everyone that pre-saved the link, and I'm sorry that it was in vain, but we appreciate every one of them.

For now, it's still available on Bandcamp. And it's Bandcamp Friday also, so any purchases today go 100% to the artist. Bandcamp link in bio
