" . . . this is a lovely music video for powderfinger , directed by brisbane animator and ozanimate writer paul lalo . the clip heralds the bands newly released best of compilation footprints . the 4 minute piece is a great example of the power of simple , well designed story telling . paul tells me it was completed in an astonishingly short time period , in a makeshift 12 man living room studio at his south brisbane house . hats off to the crew who helped bring it all together , and in particular to art director jenni vigaud who makes her animation debut . " 2 . as this was the only previously unreleased single to be included on this retrospective compilation album , the lyrics are self - referential to "powderfinger’s" own swan song . . wikipedia . org/wiki/Bernard_fanning
