#TheDivineComedy #AllthePrettyLights #RainySundayAfternoon
The fourth track taken from our UK Top five album Rainy Sunday Afternoon is the wistful tribute to Christmas past called All the Pretty Lights. The video premiere is at 7 pm GMT tonight and the you tube link is in our post. Neil says: "It began with the title (I liked the sound of the words) and a scrap of melody. That title brought to mind my family’s visit to London in the late seventies. To be a seven year old in London at Christmas was like being in Mary Poppins. Utterly magical! These memories are a bit garbled and possibly enhanced with age, but the song is as much about the fallibility of memory as about nostalgia for Christmas past." You can also listen to the track by clicking the smartlink in our post.

👉 More about the gorgeous video by Mathieu Persan and Maéva Pensivy at: thedivinecomedy.com/news/all-the...
#TheDivineComedy #AllthePrettyLights #RainySundayAfternoon
We are delighted to present our gloriously festive video for All the Pretty Lights, created by illustrator and long term Divine Comedy collaborator Mathieu Persan with animation by Maéva Pensivy. Links to watch the video and listen to the song are in our post. Neil says: "Mathieu and Maéva’s video is a thing of beauty and wonder. We share a love of classic fifties graphics, and this seemed a great opportunity to fully inhabit that world.” Mathieu explains the process: "We wrote the script to match as closely as possible the very moving lyrics and the emotion - sometimes bittersweet and tinged with nostalgia. Neil wanted a classic mid-century aesthetic, so I drew inspiration from the great illustrator Miroslav Šašek to recreate a childlike and joyful world. Maéva then created the animations, inspired by the wonderful Hanna-Barbera productions, to bring the images to life and give them a fresh character. The result: a colourful and cheerful little film that looks as though it came straight out of the 1950s."
