In the age of self-quarantine the UK-based singer had to get creative with filming her latest music video. Premiered by Substream Magazine the video for the title-track is a stunning, crimson-drenched visual, shot and edited entirely in Salt Ashes’ bedroom on an iPhone, with additional color grading done by Simon J Davy.
“I filmed and edited this music video by myself in my bedroom whilst in lockdown. It’s amazing what you can create when you put your mind to it. I used a white sheet, red lights, a tripod, my iPhone and my housemates hands for the shots towards the end. I wanted to create some visually interesting and artistic shots by moving and positioning my body in different angles,playing with the contrast of skin on skin and editing the video to make it very dynamic and disjointed.”

You fuck me like I love you
You’re lucky I’m still here
Cos it’s only make believe when I’m writhing in these sheets beside you
Don’t mean to be so brutal
Sometimes the pain is kind
Now my heart is growing numb so I guess I should move on without you
You know that we’re not safe inside this grave we’re digging
We keep repeating all the reckless things we do
Cos we’re just counting crosses
Till our time is through
And now we’re counting crosses
One for me one for you
Be careful of the danger
I gave you all the signs
Yeah it’s getting hard to breathe yeah this atmosphere is freezing cold
Is it too late to save it, save it?
When we’re both suffocating?
Cos we’re just counting crosses
Till our time is through
And now we’re counting crosses
One for me one for you
Cos we’re just counting crosses
Till our time is through
And now we’re counting crosses
One for me one for you
