Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere. I saw one or two comments on the Refugees Single thread about the video; about how dark it is.
Is it only me who gets the meaning of this video? I see it as the long journey getting the album out there. To me, the child is the album. Richard comes across as the guy who's steered the project - pushed and cajoled possibly even Danny to get it out there until finally, at the end, he can hand over the reigns to Danny to go and do his frontman thing and take it off into the world as the new day begins (a new dawn) - hence the handing back of the pen - like a baton, as if to say, Richard's done his bit now, he can rest while Danny goes off and talks to radio stations and promotes the thing. Of course I could be completely wrong, but to my mind, the video is the story of getting this album out and I think there are some hidden messages in there about the struggle to get it right. Personally, I think it's genius!
