The Award Winning clip wasToday we’re excited to share the video for “Behind The Sun” by Fastball from the album, Step Into The Light.
The Award Winning clip was directed by Nigel Dick, and won a Silver Remi Award at the Houston WorldFest International Film Festival a few weeks ago.
This simply beautiful Beatle-esque tune features a finger-picked pattern borrowed from John Lennon and a characteristic Eastern-tinged drone. Even the vocal harmonies scream old school – in the best possible way!
Fastball’s Miles Zuniga, shares “I recorded it one night at the Bubble, just Sean Rolie and I. I used an E-bow for that droney stuff, Tony added a harmony later. Nigel Dick shot the video. We were out in Lockhart TX and it was hotter than hell. I started to moan after we shot 20 takes of the same thing and he said ‘You'd never make it in the film business, boy.’ He worked his ass off – three videos in three days. Whatta guy!”

Such catchy, compelling new tunes as "We're On Our Way," "Behind The Sun," "Best Friend," "Love Comes In Waves" and "I Will Never Let You Down" continue the band's longstanding legacy of infectious songcraft and pointed lyrics, as well as playfully inventive arrangements that lend
