New Oasis Video - "Falling Down"

thumbnail icon: New Oasis Video - "Falling Down"

From the first listens of Dig Out Your Soul, "Falling Down" stuck out as a step in a different, interesting direction with its chillier tones and strings and windy chorus. Director Wiz takes the helm on the super-widescreen cut, setting the action in the sufficiently chilly climes of royal social life. A band spokesman told NME "The video is director Wiz's vision and is not directly related to the song ... Only Wiz knows what the story is but themes around fame, celebrity, and secret lives are clearly part of the inspiration." So mysterious, that Wiz. The full plot is obscured as advertised, but you get the sense the main Dame has been naughty with a Gallagher. Prince Charles cameos.

Dig Out Your Soul is out via Big Brother.

Because Bruce's "powerslide" at the Super Bowl was cool.

In my opinion great video and great song.

First Oasis video to actually ever be about anything. Amazing.

Oasis video's generally suck balls.
I'm not saying this one is good, just better.

Check out their video for "Stand By Me" from the Be Here Now album, that's some great film-making in my opinion.

Good video. The Chemical's remix was better. Let's see what the Prodigy do with it though.

Who is that 'Dame'? She is gorgeous and I'd love to see more of her (acting I mean!!) The music is pretty good as well. Well done Wiz and Oasis.
