Music videos

There are two different videos for "Four to the Floor." In the first one, filmed for the album version of the song, the band played in a scenario accompanied by the members of a symphonic orchestra appearing and disappearing according to the development of the song and the instruments.
The second video, filmed for the Thin White Duke remix, features a genderless little person of unknown age in a hooded winter jacket spray-painting graffiti on public walls in or near the city of London. The band members of Starsailor are depicted as animated graffiti whilst playing the title song throughout. At the end of the video the faceless, anonymous elfin creature is caught while standing on a bridge and shaken down by the police. One of the scenes in the video can be seen as the art cover for the Hard-Fi single "Hard to Beat".
The video also shows the images of famous Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara, and Ben Byrne wears a T-shirt with the word "socialism", though there is not a clear connection between those images and the concept of the video.
