White Lies whet the appetite of fans hungry for their tour with the video for Don’t Want To Feel It All.
Taken from their current album Friends, released late 2016, Don’t Want To Feel It All is a dream for all fans of the 80s new romantic bands. The track has a minimal but catchy synth-pop melody that carries frontman Harry McVeigh’s distinctive vocals – “I don’t want to feel it all, but know what fuels it. I don’t wanna feel it all, but don’t wanna lose it.”
The video, directed by Alex Alvarez, features stylish shots of White Lies performing live during their recent European tour at the Sala Razzmatazz, Barcelona and Sala Marco Aldany in Madrid. Slow motion film captures key moments from the shows, prettily lit by coloured stage lights. The shadowy audience is also shown clapping along and holding up their cameras, lending to the nostalgic feel of a band celebrating being on the road.
As the song ends, the band are shown feeling the love from their crowd and taking a bow. It won’t be long before White Lies feel it all again when they begin their headline tour in February.
