It was 6 days and 15 locations but I hope we captured some human moments that people can connect and resonate with. "We cast Sasha Lane who is just filled with magic, and kept it loose so she could improvise and make it her own. We talked about not wanting it to be a downer video but more a celebration of life and what you remember about someone and carry on from their memory. "Lewis came to me with the track and mentioned he had written it about his Aunt who unfortunately had taken her own life and what he wishes he had said to her before she passed. KYLE THRASH: We kept it loose so Sasha could improvise and make it her own. "And I’m honoured to be working with such talented directors and E.P.’s." "I’m very excited about the move into repping," she says. Stubbs' roster at Mouthpiece includes directors from Academy, Partizan, Darkroom, Neighborhood Watch and Spindle. It is also the first video directed by Thrash since he joined Mouthpiece for UK director's representation - a new independent director's representation agency, launched by Claire Stubbs, former executive producer and director's rep at Partizan and Darkroom. Thrash's video captures something of that complexity. Lewis Capaldi drew on childhood memories of his aunt, who committed suicide when he was young, in writing Before You Go, about the complex emotions felt by the people who were left behind. That, and Capaldi's heartfelt vocal of this poignant song, prepares us for tragedy. But the world that Thrash creates through the setting and camera style works with her and the other actors to suggest something deeper and darker. In fact the films shows Lane's character at her happiest. He employs the same techniques here, this time for a fictional narrative. Thrash has built a reputation with some remarkable documentary music videos, characterised by the raw and fluid approach to his subject matter.

It’s exactly the kind of emotionally heavy track we expect from him. ‘Before You Go’ is infused with a rich, emotional sound that resides in all of Capaldi’s workįor fans of Capaldi, ‘Before You Go’ is a treat. While ‘Grace’ looks, though pessimistically, towards the future, ‘Before You Go’ cannot move forward from the past. These feelings of restlessness and regret, of wanting to change a past event, contrast with the lyrics to Capaldi’s earlier single ‘Grace’, in which he sings, “I’m not ready to be just another of your mistakes”. There’s a sense of guilt about what was not said and not done, a sense of something being incomplete. The opening lines of the chorus, “So, before you go, was there something I could have said to make your heart beat better?”, are like a desperate cry for reassurance and comfort. The lyrics to ‘Before You Go’ are both beautiful and painful. On Twitter, the Scottish pop star wrote that the new single is “one of the most personal I’ve ever written”.
