Depeche Mode - Fly on the Windscreen - Tommy's [Lord Commander of the Apocalypse] Song, ft. one of his dogs in Minneapolis/St. Paul after the St. Floyd riots
661,446 views Feb 5, 2012 I thought it would go with an apocalyptic kinda thing, as "Death is everywhere" does not bring to mind roses and whipped cream. Plus the song is from the mid eighties when this sort of thing was certainly on the cards.
I shot all the video myself, and combined it with a few royalty-free images as set extensions, using adobe after effects, I liked the idea of having real buildings in the foreground, and this is a first attempt using AF.
I do not own any rights to the song, which is performed by the GREAT Depeche Mode, and was released on Mute records in 1986,featuring on, in my opinion, the best DM album "Black Celebration" and was also released a few months earlier on the B side to "It's called a heart" although that was a different version...This is the album version.
(Edit) That shot from a bridge looking down an empty street (about 1:22) with the street lights on really triggers my PTSD. I swear I was there, but I can't remember.
My flyin' days were over in the blink of an eye ten years ago when some old lady was busy texting one of her grandkids rather than driving...
I got $20k for a lifetime of pain. My hospital bills exhausted her coverage the first night.
Sleazebag shyster Blackburn wanted to take the old lady's house in the Meadow Ghetto New Haven. It would've cost me more to tear the house down than the property was worth, but the shitbag would've taken his cut off the top, it would've cost me money in the long run. I felt sorry for the old lady. She probably lived her remaining years in fear of the other shoe dropping before I said, "ENOUGH! THIS ENDS NOW! Over." Funny thing, I've never been mad at the old gal. Never saw her either. It was a very sanitary procedure.
I thought I might've been in Germany when she was hot, but in 1983 I was in the Middle East, I wish I would've been in Germany, but I think that's about the time the Able-Archer83 catastrophe happened that about triggered a nuclear war had it not been for a cool-headed Rooskie Col. The truth about didn't get sorted out until years later. Look up Able Archer 83.
(Edit) For the immediate future, I'm going the be supervised by an MD that was my GF 43 years ago until she finds an apartment up north which seems unlikely for now. If we can stand each other, I might have a new wife. She might have her first child that's on SS retirement benefits.
