ROBYN HITCHCOCK - IS THIS LOVE?

This video leaves a thumbprint on your brain and it stays there... mostly likely for eternity. It did in my case --- I found this particular one to be unforgettable. At least the intro... and the outro. The scene opens with HITCH, as he's known, on the phone with some sort of atmospheric dream -like sounds in the background.

Then it breaks off into the song.... which is very artfully done. The video then tops the audio with its very clean delivery. The scenes are very steady and evenly cut and its very entertaining. Hitchcock looks a lot like Peter Buck in this clip and that is most likely due to the fact that they are very good friends. In fact the middle part of this video looks like an REM video.

This had a much bigger impact on me that I anticipated. I always have the tendency to see things that aren't there. I actually believed that the last shot was of a wasp madonna pinned to a wall... like a science display, in some mad biology exibit. My ideas and the way I remember certain videos are always a little more fantastic than what they usually are.

All and in all, this is an amazing work.
