Bombs is the first single from Faithless' fifth studio album To All New Arrivals. It features Harry Collier from Kubb. The single was released as a download on 23 October 2006 and will be released on CD and 12" on 20 November 2006, one week before the release of the album.
The video, which was banned on release by MTV[1] in the US, shows scenes of everyday life contrasted and combined with footage of war. Children run across the deck of an aircraft carrier, a family skip hand-in-hand through the surf on a beach as a mushroom cloud rises on the horizon, a couple share a romantic meal while troops engage in combat and a man washes his car as troops rescue a wounded soldier.
Director Greenhalgh told shots.net: "I didn't see the video as particularly political, pro war, or anti war. It's actually a representation of where we are all at right now. War infects all our lives; recently it feels that this has increasingly become 'our way of life'. It is rare to be given the opportunity to shoot a video that is deemed controversial. All I tried to do was make people think about the everyday life we live in our comfortable existences, and the contrast to that through war." [1]
Derek Moore, who oversaw post production as head of 2D at Clear, added: "Although it is brilliant to be able to work on a project so poignant in its meaning, I have long since abandoned the idea that I can change the world with a bit of postproduction."[1] The Video can be seen here.
