Jets Overhead, 'I Should Be Born' -- Video Premiere

Kandle Osborne

When Jets Overhead went to make a video for 'I Should Be Born,' their latest single from 2009's 'No Nations,' singer Antonia Freybe-Smith already had something in mind for her role. "I had the idea of just sitting in the ocean, singing," she tells Spinner. "I love being in the water."

The band brought director Jeremy Lutter onboard and, after fleshing out the initial idea, they began filming in April. Turns out, April isn't the most ideal time of year to go wading in the Pacific Ocean. In fact, as you can see in the background of the video, Washington's Olympic Mountains were still covered in snow.

That didn't stop Freybe-Smith from going through with it, but it did give her an excuse to get a performance booster in the form of a little whiskey. "I had a little bottle of Jameson's on shore that I could take a few sips from in between takes, so that helped keep my motor running," she says. "I remember thinking afterwards, 'I'm no Gisele, so who knows what the footage will look like?' But that sure was a neat experience that I will think back to when I'm old and crispy and wondering what the hell life is all about."

For those who don't want to wait that long to find out, check out the video below, after the jump.

Interesting video to a great song!
Gorgeously shot, amazing lighting, and interesting motif.

Sure wish there was an easy way to share it with music colleagues on Facebook....
