Music Video

The video for "They Stood Up For Love" was directed by Kai Sehr^[3] and features the band performing the song in a recording studio. This footage is interspersed with film of young people partying. The two strands come together as the people from the increasingly wild party join the band in the studio. The content of the video is somewhat at odds with the spiritual nature of the song's lyrics.
