Slowdive - When The Sun Hits (Picnic at Hanging Rock)

Music: When The Sun Hits by Slowdive (Souvlaki 1993) Scenes: Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975) by Peter Weir Neil Halstead himself commented on this video in a recent interview: “I think in terms of songwriting, the images were always from nature, you know? A lot of sea imagery. It’s also interesting-- someone [on YouTube] did a video for “When the Sun Hits” and used [footage from] Picnic at Hanging Rock. That was one of my favorite films as a kid. It has a weird, [and had a] kinda magical, psychy, druggy feel to it. It’s basically about these schoolgirls at the turn of the century who disappear. It’s filmed as a true story. I think it’s definitely true that sometimes films would have a certain resonance that would sometimes inspire me to write music. It’s interesting to me that someone would do a video with that film and Slowdive’s music.“
