Spiritualized, "Hey Jane" Video

We love the song, now we can love the video too. Jason Pierce and company have just released a clip for "Hey Jane," the first single from their upcoming Sweet Heart Sweet Light, and it is a heart-wrenching thing to watch. Directed by AG Rojas, the video follows a drag queen as she struggles through day-to-day life, scrapping to provide for her children. These struggles culminate in one heck of a disturbing fight scene, which itself climaxes in an act of violence that is simultaneously upsetting (for many reasons) and touching. It is quite riveting stuff. And the video also features what has to be the longest single take shot in a music video since "Nothing Compares 2U." Watch it below. Sweet Heart Sweet Light is out April 19th on Fat Possum.
