The band's new video, As Long As It Takes, feels like an effort to recapture feelings that can't quite be pinned down. The band's performance footage flickers between images plucked out of a half-remembered dream -- crashing waves, shadowy rooms, sunset and moonrise. All through it, vocalist Michael Murphy -- the chart-topping singer known for being a runner-up on the 2004 season of New Zealand Idol -- follows a female figure whose smile might be more malevolent than he'd like. The whole thing culminates in the kind of key change that reminds listeners why they came to this style of music in the first place.
According to Michael, "As Long As It Takes is a love song. It is about meeting someone that you have an intense attraction and connection to and realizing that you will do anything and wait as long as it takes to be with that person. The lyrics are intended to represent the feelings, emotions and euphoria that come with a new relationship."
