Dublin based rock legends have never been afraid to experiment with their videos, and the latest release from them ‘Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way’ is no different. Instead of going for flashy graphics or a high budget affair the band have opted to showcase the youth of the country. The original idea was to focus on LGBTQ youth, but it was expanded it to young people from all walks to make it more inclusive.
Talking about the video, director David Mushegain said “The LGBTQ community is made up of course of people who are LGBTQ themselves, but the community also includes friends and family so really it’s inclusive of everyone,” he explained to U2.com. “It’s about being young and expressing yourself. It’s about how we all have friends and relatives who dress or look or style themselves differently but, as the song says, love is bigger than anything in its way. I’ve always loved the LGBTQ community, I go to Pride parades around the world – I can’t imagine a better party – and the idea behind the video is about a celebration, to celebrate love, to celebrate individuality, to celebrate everyone.”
