How many times have you woken up and prayed for the rain? How many times have you seen the papers apportion the blame? Who gets to say? Who gets to work and who gets to play? I was always told at school, everybody should get the same. There's always the sun, (always the sun). There's always the sun Always, always (always the sun).
Always the sun by The Stranglers (part of the lyrics above) is one of the recurrent soundtracks in the video Under a Serpent Sun by the Stockholm based artist Anneè Olofsson. The other soundtrack is a male and a female voice that reads news dealing with murder, suicide, accidents etc – presumably coming out of the radio that is standing in-between the two sunbathers sitting on the towel enjoying a sunny day at the beach.
The film is distributed by the film archive Filmform
