Love Is Stronger Than Death | The The

This is the original edit of the video for ‘Love Is Stronger Than Death’ filmed in New Orleans, as approved by Tim Pope and Matt Johnson.

Matt was approached by his record company (after a charity approached them), proposing re-edits in order to reframe the video for a specific charitable cause. Although sympathetic to their request, Matt did not approve the re-edit as the song was written solely for his late brother Eugene. Despite Matt’s misgivings, the record company went ahead anyway. That said, Matt appreciates that this song has a wide-ranging resonance with many who have suffered bereavement.
