Pie In The Sky
"Pie in the Sky" is an enchanting music video that marries playful animation with the raw power of original recordings at Abbey Road Studio One, and a resplendent orchestral performance at the Barbican Concert Hall, London. The video opens with world-acclaimed pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet leading the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Robert Ziegler, in a captivating orchestral performance, his artistry setting the stage. From this vibrant live spectacle, we're ushered into a whimsical animated adventure that playfully asks: "What is the 'pie in the sky'?"
This exploration of discovery then transitions, peeling back layers of artistic fantasy to reveal the real-life genesis of the music. We are then transported to the heart of the creative process: a live recording session, where the composer and lyricist emerge from the shadows of abstraction into tangible reality. As their harmonious notes fill the air, a profound revelation unfolds. The video culminates in a deeply personal and heartwarming crescendo: the songwriters, moved by the very melody they crafted, become engaged, in a historical, first-ever proposal at Abbey Road studios. In this tender moment, amidst the recording of their own music, they finally grasp the true meaning of their "pie in the sky"—not a distant dream, but a tangible, shared destiny found in love and artistic creation.
