An urge to change, a yearning to traverse the subconscious. As we drift, rootless and restless, into the interior of guitars and other gateways, so does reality shift (from real-world to fabricated, from an industrial, lifeless landscape to a natural one, from underwater to the martian desert) in this lyric video with surreal and fantastical elements. Wandering through different dream realms, impatiently navigating towards chimerical thresholds, are these the little worlds we devise when connecting with our art? What exactly are we searching for? And did we find it? Explore strange new worlds (and discover that maybe they are also ours?) as Albert Hammond completes his vision of his bold new single 'Don't Bother Me Babe' with a multi-dimensional graphic video.
