![]() ![]() Artistic.Broken Social Scene is a Canadian indie rock group which formed in 1999 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Was this shot ever supposed to be part of the video? maybe not but in the edit they realised they had the shot and matched it to the lyrics. So whether deliberate or by accident, filming was done which matched the exact lyrics of a specific part of the song. ![]() That puts you in the Grand Hotel Evropa which was actually where the band stayed during their time in Prague. Most people would miss the fact that you are looking at the top floors of the Rokoko Palace on Wenceslas Square.īut what is really crazy is that to get this specific view you would need to be on the other side of Wenceslas Square and further down the square. In the video there’s a nine second supporting shot looking from a room through a window as it passes from night to day. That in turn leads you straight out onto the balcony that you saw at the beginning of the video and this is where the band plays throughout the video except for one small clip……Ībout a minute into the video there’s the line “sleep baby sleep… now that the night is over and the sun comes like a god… into our room”. This takes you into what we call the “Sal Palackeho” or Palacky Hall which you can see if you do the Official Municipal House tour. The video then cuts inside and you walk through a door. This is filmed at the Municipal House in Prague on Republic Square. The video begins with a couple of scenes which finish looking up at a balcony with decorative lamps either side and overlooked by a large mosaic. WARNING: This video should not be viewed by people with epilepsy. At the end of the service his fellow band members helped carry the coffin accompanied by this song, Never Tear Us Apart. ![]() The funeral of Michael Hutchence was in Sydney at the ST Andrews Cathedral on November 27th 1997. The video ends with a sliding shot of the Calendarium and the Old Town Square. This area had a line of souvenir stalls and because of them, another fence was added to the cemetery. As the camera rises you see inside the Old Jewish Cemetery as the saxophone plays and Michael Hutchence walks between the graves. That’s why the police were there.Īt the 2:35 marker there is a saxophone solo scene and we are back at the lamp post which began the video but this time looking back the other way. With all these pictures of the police INXS made a statement here that it was not possible for members of the public to interact with them and that the filming locations were heavily controlled. The scene was supposed to finish at the bollard, note the policeman marching towards them who is just about to say they cannot go any further. When the scene starts they walk out from underneath Charles Bridge and walk into the alley that leads you to the Lesser Town bridge tower. The scene that starts “I could live…for a thousand years” was the toughest one to locate and was filmed in the area called Little Venice. There are various shots of Charles Bridge and the Lesser Town but pay attention that three different scenes in the video have a policeman in them. This is all filmed on Shooters Island and although the musicians are Czech, they would need to have been politically approved by the Communist city authorities before being allowed to play in the video. Then we cut to a river scene past some violin players and Michael Hutchence begins to sing. The building is the Jewish Ceremonial Hall in Prague. The video begins with a shot through a broken street lamp towards an old building and a policeman (with a white cap).
