Anneke van Giersbergen drops new video single “I Saw A Car”

Anneke van Giersbergen (ex-The Gathering) has released a new video single titled “I Saw A Car” which you can check out below. The track hails from Giersbergen’s just-released solo album dubbed ‘The Darkest Skies Are the Brightest,’ and the clip was directed by Jasper van Gheluwe.

“‘The Darkest Skies Are The Brightest’ was inspired by heartbreak, but it is also a manifest of how heartbreak can lead into transformation and make way for something new and bright once the dark has been overcome,” states a presser.

Giersbergen comments, “When I scribbled down some lyric ideas in 2018, I took the first steps on the long road that would lead to the release of ‘The Darkest Skies Are The Brightest’. It’s easy to get lost in a sea of self-doubt when you’re writing and recording highly personal songs, but once the album was done, I was able to put my mind at ease. I’m so proud of what we’ve created and release day has finally arrived!”

As for the new video, Giersbergen adds, “The stomps and plucky brightness might fool you into thinking this was a ditty, but the vulnerable and self-assessing lyrics actually fit the headspace that being expressed throughout the album.This song was written and produced very late in the recording process, but I just instantly knew the track had something special and needed to be included on the album.”
