Wallis Bird - Pretty Lies (Official Video)

WALLIS BIRD
PRETTY LIES
out now on all streaming platforms here: https://lnk.to/WhatsWrongWithChanging

Because I was releasing 'Pretty Lies' and 'What's Wrong With Changing?' on the same day, I decided I wanted to marry both of their music videos, one being straight up art, the other breaking the ‘Fourth Wall’ of that art and showing the crew, the effort, the reality and absurdity of being someone in front of a camera. Being watched, so to speak.

Written by: Wallis Bird
Produced by: Philipp Milner, Wallis Bird, Marcus Wüst

Production Assistant: Aidan Floatinghome, Adam Fitzsimons
Filmed in Berlin 27-28 November 2021

Shot on: 1993 JVC 3Y-X3U. The tape got damaged by snow on the first day of shooting, so we had to dry the cassettes off by a window for 3 days after the shoot. Joe put his shoulder blade out of order while holding this beast of a machine… just kidding!

Lyrics:
It was a long-ass year
Couldn’t wait for it to end
Full of loss and fear
Couldn’t wait for it to end
And it opens my arms
Opened my arms to so much change

But it won’t stop there
It’s the beginning of the end
Of a difficult era, my friend, my friend
We are ebbing tide
Tower card
Empire fall

Pretty lies
Tiny mind
Pretty lies

And I can’t pretend
There’s only wrong or right
Cos an answer lies
Between those two points
But I do hope we can make our peace
If we have to fight

Don’t tell me what to do if I can
(Pretty lies)
Don’t tell me what to do
If I can
I'll do it all
