The video “9 Lives” was produced by Pedro Chaves of Dream Journey Studios. Chaves is a longterm TCOH collaborator. This video is one of his most adventurous yet, as it combines a mixture of live-action with hand drawn cartoon sketches working in tandem with their surroundings. It is like a game of cat and mouse, but with a cat and a bird.
Chaves and singer/ songwriter Helen Dooley came up with the same notion of a cartoon cat losing it’s life again and again, which matched the theme of the Single “9 Lives”, and trying desperately hard to attain something again and again, but failing. The take from the video: you have to keep on trying in order to make it in life.
We really enjoy the Pop/ Rock / Alternative style and the creativity of not only the video but also the EP.
