OUTLANDERS ’Never Too Far’ - Official Visualizer

From the album ’Outlanders’ (Out Now) Access it here: !MV Some years ago, Torsten worked with Mike Oldfield on a song they called “Islanders”. They decided to revisit the track for Mike´s Tubular Beats remix album that he was again doing with Torsten, and they asked me to participate on it. I wrote the lyrics and created the melodies based in a song very dear to me from Mike: “Islands” with my childhood idol Bonnie Tyler in vocals. Revolting with the idea of us being islands, “Never too far” was born. It was a very nice collaboration that I cherish. “Never too far” felt perfect for Outlanders too and we decided to re-work the song to make it suit better for our own album. I recorded some of my vocals again and made them a bit less operatic, so that the voice could sound lighter and more ethereal as in the spirit of our new version. CREATION OF THE VISUALIZER This visualizer was filmed in Half Moon Bay that is in the South-East coast of Antigua. It is very famous beach for sunbathing and snorkeling. Every time I go to Antigua with my family, we visit the beach as it’s such a peaceful location and at times we can have the beach just for ourselves. The colour of the sea is wonderful and the power of the waves crashing towards the rocks take your breath away. Enjoy the sea!
