Following “Good grief”, English indie pop group Bastille shared the video for their second single “Fake it”.
The track, written and produced by frontman Dan Smith along Mark Crew, received its first play during Zane Lowe’s World Record at Beats 1 on July 27th.
The music video, directed by Tom Middleton and Jack Scott aka Crooked Cynics (Jamie Scott, Grizfolk) features a smarmy, uncomfortable, molded politician giving a speech, at times mouthing the lyrics, and at others, showing the two-sided nature of every person. As the camera shows the man calm and poised, reality shows the man enraged and irrational.
Bastille’s new album “Wild world” will be release in all formats on 9 September 2016.
Lyrics:
Drive around, night time, nowhere to go
Melt me down, I’m like wax to your jokes
Lost and found, knocking heads, laying low
And there’s no point reliving crimes to lose this
Still wanna waste all of my time
I wanna waste all of my time
Still wanna waste all of my time
I wanna waste all of my time
With you
Oh my lover, my lover, my love
We can never go back
We can only do our best to recreate
Don’t turn over, turn over the page
We should rip it straight out
Then let’s try our very best to fake it
Show me joy, flower through disarray
Let’s destroy, each mistake that we made
Then restore the color back to the grey
There’s no pride in sharing scars to prove it
Still wanna waste all of my time
I wanna waste all of my time
Still wanna waste all of my time
I wanna waste all of my time
With you
Oh my lover, my lover, my love
We can never go back
We can only do our best to recreate
Don’t turn over, turn over the page
We should rip it straight out
Then let’s try our very best to fake it
Help me turn a blind eye
Days and nights we lost to weakness
Help me turn a blind eye
Days and nights we lost to weakness
Oh my lover, my lover, my love
We can never go back
We can only do our best to recreate
Don’t turn over, turn over the page
We should rip it straight out
Then let’s do our very best to fake it
Oh my lover, my lover, my love
We can never go back
We can only do our best to recreate
Don’t turn over, turn over the page
We should rip it straight out
Then let’s do our very best to fake it
