Nell Bryden 'Thought I Was Meant For You' by Rhys Davies

David Knight - 31st Jan 2017

Rhys Davies has directed a sensitive drama about the devastating impact of dementia upon the relationship of a same-sex couple for Nell Bryden's similarly heartfelt Thought I Was Meant For You.

Davies also photographed the video, shot in his native Wales, which features ex-Marine Tip Cullen, with whom Rhys has worked before on the VOTD-winning video The Element, in the role of carer, and Michael Davies, a former photographer, who - despite little acting experience – captures the brutality and bewilderment of Alzheimer's. “Both actors were superb," says Davies. "They handled their roles with such grace and delicacy and did the story justice.”

Nell Bryden's I Thought I Was Meant For You is a break-up song, but the singer-songwriter has said that Rhys Davies's approach for the video has introduced fresh symbolism to the lyrics. “The video has taken the song in a new, compelling and powerful direction for me," she says. "It’s about companionship and unexpected circumstances… the connection doesn’t change.”
