Future Looks Music Video - Playfio

Playfio presents latest Music Video
This song is about the rapid transformation of technology and the unpredictable and unforeseeable future. These days are extremely hard to predict what kind of world we may be living in even 10 years time.

I realised this song in April 2012 and this track is called 'Future Looks' it took quite a few months to finish.

For the video I wanted a really futuristic looking one, so for the past weeks/ months I have been collecting decent futuristic clips when I've come across them.

Many of the clips I have used are from big budget Hollywood futuristic films but I have also used footage from elsewhere.

A big thank you to all the footage I used and I will now list the links below where I found this info. Some of the videos are incredible and created by extremely talented individuals that deserve praise for their work.

First Breath - Collaboration with SaintsBeats & Playfio

Music Collaboration

This track is called ‘First Breath’ and is collaboration between Chris of SaintsBeats and myself. I’ve worked with Chris before on a Coldplay cover – ‘The Scientist’, but this is the first originally written track that we have both worked on.


I hope you enjoy this track and for more of SaintsBeats music check out his page: HERE



I heard Chris’s original track and instantly liked it, so went about adding some vocals and guitar riffs. Had a few different takes on it but we’ve both settled on this latest version – hope you enjoy it.



For the lyrics I have to thank Erin for her poem that I found online – had to change few bits to match with the song – Thanks for that – the original poem can be found here: ‘First Breath

I was glad to hear from Erin in Arizona and she put these kind words about this song:

Wow, that is amazing, Rob! What a thrill for me to actually hear my words, and your tweakings, set to music! I was getting goose bumps halfway through, what a rush, listened to it several times. The music is vibrant and alluring, sensual, fits perfectly with my wondering/awe-filled emotions at the time I wrote the piece. You have a fantastic voice and style.”

So I’ll finally wrap this up with thanks going out to Chris and Erin who made this track possible. Hope you enjoy this new track and please share this amongst your friends. Leave you with the lyrics.

Finally she found, her mind's desire,
sweet and clean, she's filled with fire,
no soul-less toil, of a factories death,
it's clear to see her first full breath,

the gift of sight, her world's delight,
is linking words of daily plight.
She’s looking to a sea of hope
Learning new skills to help her cope

Take that first breath
Take your last step
And whats ever comes inbetween

Hanging On Music Video - Sheffield Graffiti Video

This music video features graffiti from all over Sheffield. Some of the graffiti artists featured in this video are Phlegm and Kid Acne who are both based in Sheffield.

The majority of the videos featured are located in the old Jacobs Manufacturing factory near the big Tesco on Abbeydale Rd. This old run down building is really worth a look around and popular with graffiti artists and skaters in Sheffield.

I’d make sure you’re wearing some sturdy boots and probably take a mate – quite creepy round there. Went on my own and got quite a shock with some guy hanging round in the shadows! Turned out to be a nice chap just scoping the place for scrap metal, he even gave me a guided tour!

After doing bit more googling for Phlegm and Kid Acne graffiti came across this site which has some more pretty impressive work in the old Hotel - Sheffield Hallam Towers - now derelict.

This music video is called ‘Hanging On’ by Playfio- Enjoy..
