These Are Conditions
Neil Finn/Sharon Finn

These are conditions in my head
These are conditions in my head
Hung upon the day
Heavy as a cloud about to rain
These are conditions in my head
These are conditions in my head
These are conditions
Funny how dreams are found
In real life, here and now
And so captured are the days
Caught between survival and escape
These are conditions in my head
These are conditions in my head
The silence of the night will come again
The saddest one alive will love again
High above the planes
I can hear the buzzing in my brain
These are conditions in my head
Hear the howling sun
Hear the howling sun

TNT for 2 and These Are Conditions were originally produced as interactive 3D videos. From the Custom Logic website: “Produced with the aid of a hacked 3D infrared sensor in the new XBOX Kinect console, both promos allow the viewer to fully interact with the band's performances. In the atmospheric TNT For Two, the viewer controls the camera while the band performs on a deserted beach and follow an ethereal figure across the sand and through the trees. In the more playful These Are Conditions, the viewer is in control of everything - as the band plays you can pull them to bits in 3D and put them back together into surreal exquisite corpses. One can swap the singers head for bassist's, create an audience of giant penguins, stack a tower of amps a thousand kilometers into sky... the possibilities are infinite in the surreal 3D sandbox.”

Unfortunately, the technology was too new for many viewers’ browsers in 2012, and is no longer available for viewers a decade later. You can get an idea of it in the non-interactive version above and in the demo video below.
