Craig Bingham directs an evocative for James Blunt, reflecting on the process of getting older - which also features some gripping motorcycle action. In the video for Beside You, Bingham explores the idea of past selves, and how each version of our character has helped build the person we are today. The concept centres on stunt driving and thrilling motorbike sequences to encapsulate the theme of youth and ageing, together with some heartfelt performance setups from the artist."This film embraces an element of surrealism," explains Bingham. "James finds himself in a rough-and-ready flat-track arena where he encounters versions of himself that have made him the person he is."Those versions of himself are always with him, driving him forwards - Beside You."
