Narrative theory to Cassias, and our own interruption- David Manning
"Cassius" is the second single from the album Antidotes by Foals. It is their fifth single in total to date, and peaked at number 26 on the UK singles chart, their highest charting song at present. It was released as a digital download on 18 February 2008 and on CD and vinyl on 10 March 2008.
The video was directed by Dave Ma and shows the band playing with hanging hearts and pills. This song was number 45 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.
In a video interview with NME, lead singer Yannis Philippakis stated that the track was "the most straightforward song on the album. It's trying to deal with somebody being two-faced or, even to the extreme, someone having a split personality. The reason for why it's called Cassius - Cassius Clay who became Mohammad Ali, it's almost like there's two people in one and Cassius, the conspirator who instigated the assassination of Julius Caesar, who is a very literal symbol of being two faced".
However Tom and i both want to push the bounders and create a new theory. We have chosen to when we create out music video to focus on the male singer at the beginning, however towards the second half of the song, we are going to look at the Cassius being a name of one girl who is 2nd best and the lead singer doesn't want to be with her. Throughout the music video their will be signs of the new girl and him coming together. This should let us play with unique edits and become very creative.
