The song is quite an old song with many memories and thoughts of Ireland and is included as the last track in the album 'Tymes Ten'. It was something that I had put away and almost forgotten about until it was called up as a possible track for the style of the album. If you have a look at my other video you will see that Jim Davis made both videos...the story goes that Jim calls me up with a surprise that he has put together something special for a song of mine. I was to go to his site before I could see the surprise. The next day he dropped round with a cdr of the finished video. He tells me that he found the footage very appropriate to the music and I agree with him. He asked me to explain the song before I could see the video to see whether he was on the right lines. I think you will agree that the video brings the song alive and although I do not want to say much more I am thrilled with the end product and feel that the imagery has helped bring the song back to me again.
The video for "Seen It All" has been included as a bonus track on the first single on Wretched Recordings and on both albums to be released on Wretched Recordings, Firestation Records. Both videos ('Seen It All' and 'Homemaker') are included on the release of Tymes Ten in the USA on Parasol and Bus Stop Records. The story goes that a few weeks before the release of the single my good friend, Jim Davis, telephones me from the pub with an idea that he would like to try out a few ideas. Jim is a lecturer in Media and Communications at Wolverhampton University and is not someone who's ideas you do not take lightly. We met up shortly after over a coffee at one of his favourite coffee spots where Jim being Jim let rip with some of his ideas. I put to him a few ideas of my own and over a few days in April we got together with Paul and Andy and shot about an hour's worth of footage that we felt would work. We recorded footage for video at Keele University and everywhere else as we made our way back into town and back to my place. Within a few days Jim had called round with a rough version that I was able to send to the label. Ben at Wretched and Uwe in Berlin loved it and proposed we include it on the single and album as a bonus track. I like to think the video suits the lo-fi retro feel of the song and compliments the artwork. In an unusual way I believe it also lends itself well to the inspiration and ideas behind the song. Special thanks most importantly goes to Jim for his inspiration, ideas and patience in putting up with me over the few days we recorded the video. I much preferred not having my image in the video but Jim thought people would feel a little cheated if they did not get an opportunity to see me at the end.
