I actually arrived in New York that awful evening when he was shot and I was staying at the Virgin Records house in Perry Street, which was just a few blocks down the road from the Dakota Building where it happened, so it probably sank into my subconscious. It was originally inspired by a film I loved Houdini, starring Tony Curtis, which was about attempts to contact Houdini after hed died, through spiritualism. There are two versions of the video the full length original, and a shorter one which omits a verse. The reason for the shorter version was for the requirements of some TV broadcasters, and the way both versions are edited suggests that Oldfields touring guitarist Ant Anthony Glynne performs the second, overdriven half of the guitar solo, which is not the case. Also in the video is Oldfields touring drummer, Pierre Moerlen, miming the part played by Simon Phillips on the recording. The music video was directed by Keith Mc.
