Vision Divine has released a video for “18 (It Feels Like Heaven)”, first single taken from the new EP “A Clockwork Reverie” to be released on May 22 by Scarlet Records.
A man walks through the desert and meets an old stranger who tells him, «I’ve been waiting for you.» – the man doesn’t recall any appointment. The old man explains that they were meant to meet 18 years ago – for reasons unknown, it never happened. So he waited. The man then wakes up. It was all a dream. But as he walks through the city, lost in thought, he sees the same old man standing at a street corner – turning, as if expecting him.
