Palace 'Goodnight, Farewell' by Adrian Lee, Leo Wyndham

Rob Ulitski - 19th Aug 2024
Adrian Lee and Palace frontman Leo Wyndham co-direct a powerful promo for Goodnight, Farewell, inspired by a heartbreaking event.
The video takes an existential approach to the themes of new album Ultrasound, which revolve around loss, grievance and acceptance.
Balancing a sense of abstract surrealism with emotional performances, the video cuts between stock footage and live action to visualise the lyrics of the track, in a tender yet cinematic way. Wyndham's own vocal performance of Goodnight, Farewell in striking exterior locations is counterpointed by a dramatic element with a woman (played by Clara Rugaard) in a dark room, watching in anguish at images of a lost child.
Leo Wyndham explains, after his partner suffered a late miscarriage, that "I felt a hollowness and emptiness for a long time when it happened." The film, combining a perspective that's both intimate and universal, aims to reflect that difficult period, and coming through it.
“It’s saying goodbye to this life-changing year, saying goodbye to former versions of ourselves and what would have been a child as well. It's that transcendence of suddenly discovering that we can move forward into something that feels lighter and optimistic."
