"A Momentary Lapse of London"

by Davide Roveri and  Music of Craig Armstrong

"Impressive time lapse shots of iconic London landmarks."  Watch now this Amazing timelapse of this beautiful city, musicalised  by Craig Armstrong with "This Love" in voice of Elizabeth Fraser from Cocteau Twins... The time-lapse video showing the beauty that is London was created by Davide Roveri’s, 6 minute short A Momentary Lapse of London features impressive time lapse shots of iconic London landmarks, often in silhouette against rich, painterly skies.

 

 

When I first moved to London two years ago the first period of my relationship with the city wasn’t that great, I couldn’t find a connection, I felt like a stranger and I couldn’t feel any inspiration at all. But then, all of a sudden, one night I was walking on the South Bank when a glorious sunset caught my attention and I experienced that beautiful sensation of feeling like home. And at that point, it was.

It has been exactly like when you meet someone and at first you don’t like him/her, but then you hang out for a while and, before you can realise, you’re in love! So the main idea behind this timelapse movie was simply to write a sort of visual love letter to the city that stole my heart and that gives me a lot of inspiration every single day.

THIS LOVE LYRICS   

by  Craig Armstrong feat Elizabeth Fraser

 This love
This love is a strange love
In that it can lift a love
This love

This love
I think I'm gonna fall again
And ever when you held the hand
And turn 'em in your fingers, love

This love
Now rehearsed we stay,love
Doesn't know it is love
This love

This love
Doesn't have to feel love
Doesn't care to be love
It doesn't mean a thing

This love

This love loves love
It's a strange love,
strange love

This love This love
This love is a strange
love, strange love
I'm gonna fall again love
Doesn't mean a thing
Think I'm gonna fall again
This Love

Written by Craig Armstrong and Jerry Burns feat Cocteau Twins Elizabeth Fraser
