“Once and for all” by Bitter bitter weeks

Once and for All
Song and Video #1 from the new album.

This was shot mostly by my brother, Ryan McTear. The performance footage is from Amy’s and my studio, MinerStreet Recordings. The rest of the imagery comes from the Wissahickon Creek in Philadelphia, and a beach under the flight path of LAX.

The video was shot in September 2006. The band was rehearsing for its first show in New York at Pianos. Though great attempts were made to perform with the album version of the song for the video (in a lip-sync fashion), most of it came from the rehearsal itself. The line-up, at the time, was Patrick Berkery on drums and John Sheehan on bass, as well as Amy Morrissey on keyboards and Brian McTear on guitar and vocals (Hey, that’s basically the Novenas lineup…).
