ONE love, blood, life
Don't Have to Be Shy About It
World Premiere: Check out a clip from the stunning new video, directed by Catherine Owens, for Original of the Species.
The video, a dazzling work of futuristic animation, is one of the most unusual the band have ever made.
It will make its TV debut on MTV today (Thursday), airing on the hour every hour..
The video was conceived and directed by Catherine Owens, a long time friend and collaborator of U2 who is responsible for many of the striking visual concepts in the band's live show. The idea grew out of a piece that she was working on to accompany the song during the Vertigo Tour.
The band had their heads 'scanned' in Chicago in September (this will make sense when you've watched it!) and digital effects were developed in New York and LA. The live performance element was filmed backstage at Madison Square Garden in early October and this version of the song, currently at radio in the US, is the one that the band recorded in Holland over the summer with Garrett Lee.
Watch a clip of Original of the Species video here. It is only available as a quicktime clip for now.
