Yea - I few people have asked about why it's called "Liverpool One". That's the actualy ZIP code of the location. (L1).It's also the name of the massive new shopping mall of which John Lewis is just one store.
We tried to make a bit of a statement with this video and the choice of the song.
We made it there because Liverpool is the European Capital of Culture for 2008 and so has been trying to show the world how good it is and how much it's changed.
It's ironic that just a stones throw from the new mall is this wasteland surrounded by some fencing designed to try to hide it. It's surrounded by old abandoned businesses and derelict housing!
It just shows that very little has really changed in Liverpool. It's all just gloss on the surface. Scratch it and you see what's below - still a lot of inner city grime and poverty.
