ABOUT THE SONG

Donald A. Guarisco at All Music Guide All Music Guide Song Review: All She Wants Is describes "All She Wants Is" as:


MUSIC VIDEO

The video for "All She Wants Is" was shot in London with video director Dean Chamberlain , a well-known photographer who had previously taken pictures and filmed a video for the side project Arcadia . It took nearly a month to shoot, using very long exposures to create unusual animated light effects around a girl and the surreal fixtures inside her flat.

As the band was in the middle of a hectic promotion schedule, and was unable to spend the necessary weeks standing still to shoot the video, the members each allowed a plaster Death Mask to be made from their faces, from which latex imitations of the band members' faces were cast. With the masks fitted onto Mannequin s, Chamberlain was able to use painstakingly slow Stop Motion special effects. Only a few brief scenes at the beginning and end of the video feature the real band members.


B-SIDES, BONUS TRACKS AND REMIXES
