notes .
1 . ” . . . this is a lovely music video for powderfinger , directed by brisbane animator ( and
ozanimate writer ) paul lalo . the clip heralds the bands newly released best of
compilation footprints . the 4 minute piece is a great example of the power of simple ,
well designed story telling . paul tells me it was completed in an astonishingly short
time period ,
in a makeshift 12 man living room studio at his south brisbane house . hats off to the
crew who helped bring it all together , and in particular to art director jenni vigaud who
makes her animation debut . ”
2 . as this was the only previously unreleased single to be included on this
retrospective compilation album , the lyrics are self – referential to “powderfinger’s” own
swan song . http : //En . wikipedia . org/wiki/Bernard_fanning
