Director: Ferry Gouw

Inspired by a song that combines bittersweet lyrics with uplifting electronic melodies, the video for Above & Beyond's 'Sun & Moon' focuses on the pain and release of a couple's break-up; showing that relationships live on forever in the memory.

With the video drawing its aesthetic cues from the legendary Northern Soul era, the lead male is seen re-living the relationship and the final breakdown through a series of emotive flash back scenes and some lonesome, drink and music fuelled longing.

Just as 'Sun & Moon' finds its release through its emphatic, riff-based breakdown, the lead recognises the song and finds his own peace of mind the only way he knows - by dancing. Through a set of skilfully twisted and visually arresting dance moves straight out of the Northern soul era - where sad love songs like 'Sun & Moon' fuelled a generation of late night dancers lost in lyrics. In doing so, he finds his freedom... in the moment.

Alex, why do you have to post this song and music video on your facebook? Music is my fucking weakness... I can't help but tear up a bit.  Stop it.  Now I'm going to forever see and think of you whenever I hear this song.  This is heart wrenching. I'm sorry..........

I'm not going to throw away or delete any of our pictures together.
I grew a lot from this relationship.
But it's time to move on to our next separated milestones.
I'm expecting to see a completely different person once I randomly bump into you on the streets.
A confident and genuinely happy person.

Don't rely on people for your happiness.
You are the only cure for your feelings of loneliness and depression.  

Not others.

I know you can do it.

I wish you the best of everything.

With much love,

Tammie
