Hard Act to Follow

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G90DGlo-GqsHi, Sylvie here, with a new video.  A couple of weeks ago I went to a big downtown movie theatre to see a new movie called "Juliet Naked." It's a romantic comedy based on a book by Nick Hornby, a former rock critic, directed by Jesse Peretz, a former rock musician (remember the Lemonheads?) and featuring a soundtrack that includes songs by Marianne Faithfull, Chrissie Hynde, Robyn Hitchcock, M.Ward.... and me!I sat watching the movie and listening hard, because I didn't know what scene it was going to be in, but after a while I got into the story and forgot all about my song. Then, during a scene shot in the Tate Modern in London, one of my favourite places in the world, suddenly out of the giant speakers there I was, singing "Hard Act to Follow."  I almost jumped out of my seat.So to celebrate my song getting its first major movie role, I decided to make it its own little film, working with San Francisco video maker, Carlos Forster. I hope you like it. And if you do, please feel free to leave a message on YouTube.MV5BMTk3OTE3ODg1Ml5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMTI4NTE4NTM@._V1_UX140_CR0,0,140,209_AL_
