Oak ash and Thorn

I thought it may be appropriate to go over the thought behind the credit scene. While it is obvious that in the song "The spirit of Albion" by Damh the Bard the lyrics Oak, ash and Thorn are sung, this is only one part of the reason for having it as a central focus in the video. In a way I felt like the credit scene could be a homage to my own tastes and inspiration as it isn't directly linked with the style of my music video itself (As in the camera movement tells a more visual and abstract story).
 To make a very long point short, the main reason for the extra song added here By Peter Bellamy, is because I find it to be of strong inspiration to me.
The interesting thing is that not so long ago I found this music video by a Celtic rock band called Coyote Run,

I think that this video is actually really well done, in many ways it is very simple, but the execution and style is so top notch and crossed with a slight bit of humour so that the band doesn't appear over serious. They sing a cracking version and I just thought it deserved a little recognition!
