He said: “This is the first video in which I have not received notes since Michelle Gondry made some of our videos on white stripes.”

John S. Riley He was driving his car recently around Los Angeles on a rainy day when he had a revelation. “You are like, This song is amazing and amazingHe tells me. “I kept listening to it.” The song concerned, “Archbishop Harold Holmes”, was a raw in the category Jack White 2024 album No name. Riley White had been friends for decades, after the duo met behind the scenes in the bottom of white – Riley caught that the band was covering “Mister Silovan” Chicago, As to appear, he wanted to witness the cover for himself. He now says: “We met and discovered that we have all these common things.” “We are both in the Middle West. We are from the large Irish Catholic families. We have remained friends after all these years. Whenever he comes to Medina, I go to see him, and we are thick like thieves.” Humor was a common value. White will go to a veil As a strange Elvis Presley In one of the most permanent films of Riley.
White had told Riley – a musician who just released his first album under the changing ego – about the inspiration behind “Archbishop Harold Holmes”, who prompted him by finding a religious chain speech on the wall of a person’s home. “This has been discovered and mainly used the words of that message to convert it into the lyrics of the song,” explains. “I thought this was a cold origin story.” It was a great story, in fact, that Riley Badger White was filming a video clip for him. “I kept saying,” Jack, we must do a video. You must direct him. ”Jack was interested in guidance in the past. “
Although Riley promised that he would make the video “fast, exciting and enjoyable”, it is still necessary to be a convincing White. The final batch arrived last month, when the “Archbishop Harold Holmes” head began unexpectedly in high alternative radio. Riley went to see his friend in Hollywood Paldium and beg his case last time. “I was like, Jack, I must say, this radio is very satisfactory to me,” says Riley. “Because at this stage I was talking to him for months about the song and trying to encourage him to make a video of her. I said,” Look, everything you want, I am available and it will be my pleasure for me. “ The autumn White Stripes Video Director De Wilde – is also interested in cooperation, White finally agreed to the project.
I gave Riley Kart Blanche to follow any idea he saw appropriate. Since the “Archbishop Harold Holmes” is a religious organization that uses written tactics to recruit new members – “My dear friend, if you want to feel better / do not let the devil make you throw this message”, it begins – the actor always imagined himself as a preaching agent that was directing the white color from the pulpit. “Jack has such aesthetic aesthetic in his colors and with the things he cares about. It was like making a video of the prince for the prince.” ) Once Riley started thinking more about electricity, he found his hooks for the video. “You are like, What if this person is not a very reliable narrator? That is why we have reached the concept that he is completely crazy about asylum, and all these electrical things he imagined are all linked to his experiences with his hospital treatments, “he explains:” It is similar to the ideal imagination of fans. When you listen to a song and imagine, Oh, if you do a video, it will be like this and it will be like that. I must do it completely. “
Riley and Trigo filmed the video for one day in a church in Los Angeles. The additions were the members of the group and the patients of the mental hospital. “Jack’s brand gave us some money to make video, but it was much cheaper than they thought it would be,” says Riley. Equality in learning to learn the words “Bishop Harold Holmes” is no different from memorizing a long monologue from his movie. “It is a kind of song like the hip hop song,” notes. “It contains all this rhyme and the verse. I almost already being in my memory, but I went to the gangs as soon as we reached it.” Despite the confidence in its implementation, though, Riley and Tigo “bite our nails” were waiting for White’s notes. They did not have to wait a long time – White was ahead of his praise. “Jack just turned.” He said: This is the first video clip in which I have not received notes since Michelle Gondry made some of our videos. ” We were supported.
Riley realizes that he was more intimidated to work with white if he was not really close friends. However, he had to pass a few moments of self -doubt during the group. “It is like, Who do I think I am trying to package this man’s vision of his song?“He explained.” But I know that Jack was good and long, I felt confident that we could get something at least in the stadium what it was. And if the success of this music video is returning Riley to give white lines In the Rock & Roll Celebrity Hall Later this year, it is a pleasure to accept it. “I will do anything for Jack,” he added. “I really believe in the quality he represents in music and the amount of care and thinking about every part of his project. Of course, the large donkey kicks.”
