Zojuist heeft Katatonia een nieuwe video online gezet. Het nummer Shift is afkomstig van The Fall of Hearts wat eerder dit jaar uitkwam op Peaceville Records. De video is geregisseerd door Lasse Hoile.
“As the music for this song unfolded it took off in a different direction from usually what we do. Driven by its gentle, lush and shimmering rendition of melancholy it would take you for a waltz daydreaming of the past, longing for the happiest times of your life, only to find that when the dance is over, emptiness has filled another chamber of your heart. Both Jonas and Lasse enhanced these ideas into beautifully told lyrics and a simple, but very touching video.” Anders Nyström
Zanger Jonas Renske over de tekst van het nummer: “Once I heard Anders' initial demo for "Shifts" I had a feeling that it needed a timeless kind of lyric. The sentimental kind of music made me think of how memories of better days can keep one alive... and it had me writing down a vague, modest thought on war, how it separates people, and ultimately brings a certain death that would only be eased by the thought of past days and a loved one.”
