Ok, the video wasn't the thing I was expecting, but focusing on the song, I think that's why he's done such a simple video. The most important is the feeling about the song and the story behind.
Nobody said anything about that beautiful KISS! I think it's very sweet, looks tender...
I'm going to have another look at it ^^

I've only watched it once, but I REALLY didn't like it. Maybe I was just expecting something else!? I don't know... maybe I'll grow on me... but really didn't like it ;[
I do, however, REALLY want to kiss him ;D Ah! The one kiss in particular was beautiful.

Personally I thought it was lovely I liked the simplicity as well, and... yeah, too tired to think of anything much to say about it now, but I'm a fan!

Perfect. The best song on the album and the best vid - by far. A major return to form after the garbage that was Hard Times.
I really REALLY wanted to see Marc singing this on Saturday because, y'know that was the plan!

Okay: I LOVE the song (always have) and was expecting like this LOTR-esque epic love imagery and I almost thought I got it until they started doing interpretive dance. But I couldn't help but think of this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_-ZARjpeL0 when watching it. Thank you! Those moves triggered something in my memory and that was it! I just went to watch the video again and I had to stop because I broke out into giggles because of this. You've ruined it for me! (no you haven't, really, because the kiss made me only think of spiderman... if only it had rained on the filming day ) I do really love the video, though, honest!

It was an okay video, nothing great but not really terrible. I think the biggest complaint from me is the poor editing job - which can make or break a video no matter how awesome the song/idea is. If it had been put together a bit better I don't think it'd have felt as awkward. And I didn't think about it before, but as others have pointed out it is a bit odd that the girl doesn't look of Gypsy descent (dark hair, skin, etc). BTW, she is TALL. She almost seems taller than Patrick...is she? I did like all the outfit changes though. :]

i agree with what most people have said, but i'm still undecided to what i think of it. i like the interaction and symetry of the two, but i'm not sure about the editing and such
i think it will grow on me! seems very low budget, but maybe that real, unedited feel is what Patrick wanted..it reflects the song very well

I can never be arsed exalting people but I've made an exception here. That was just TOO GOOD. Confused. Did you think I was being sarcastic? haha Yes. Was that a serious comment?! It made me laugh, anyhow...

For me it's the best video from The Bachelor. Very poetic, simple and pure and completely different from Patrick's other videos. Maybe that's why I like it so much.

Probably it depends from the perceptions of the song taht one could have... so maybe I am worng but I don't think this videoclip suits very well... I just like the part where they were both laying on the floor and kissing... For the rest, I found it a little bit boring and home made, that it could be ok if they aim to this... but I think Damaris is everything except boring!

People moaning about the size of the budget are totally off course here.
It's all about nailing the song. This video does it.
.. And for me, 'To The Lighthouse' is easily Pat's best video. And it cost £7.29. (+vat)

I find the song very dramatic and it always reminded me of seeing an opera at the theater because of the choir at the end I guess. Now it reminds me even more. For me it leaves a lot to imagination similarly like when you see an opera and the singers sing in a language you don't understand and even though you have subtitles you know that not everything can be interpreted. Anyway I really like the video.

.. Also, another vote here for the return of the decent barnet. The (ahem) extensions were, frankly, awful. I hope to god he's binned them. Or at recycled 'em.

The more I watch it, I don't mind it as much. With some simple editing, this easily could have been Patrick's best video. Certain aspects were really great, like the sort of dancing interaction, but other parts were painfully long for me. It made sequences that could have been very beautiful turn awkward.
I think that's why I like the Vulture video so much. The cuts complemented the rhythm of the song quite well.

I like it. it's sweet and simple. btw one thing I've learned in this country that blonde haired blue eyes people can be gypsy too here. In hungary Gipsy = Roma therefore dark haired dark skinned. but here the word gipsy especially in Sussex can also mean traveller particularly irish traveller also not to forget that brad pitt was a gipsy in Snatch
