Nine years since the video was shot, Feeder released via their Facebook page previously unreleased behind-the-scenes footage.

Famous quotes containing the words the sun, days and/or sun:
“The event combined with
Beams leading up to it for the look of force adapted to the wiser
Usages of age, but it’s both there
And not there, like washing or sawdust in the sunlight,
At the back of the mind, where we live now.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle...”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 7:6.
“The sun was like a great visiting presence that stimulated and took its due from all animal energy. When it flung wide its cloak and stepped down over the edge of the fields at evening, it left behind it a spent and exhausted world.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
