Directed by vocalist Stuart Staples, and filmed by guitarist Neil Fraser, the music video captures the driving energy which culminates in Staples’ poetic refrain: “Oh life, breathe through me, As this light falls, My love is in flames and I’m always a stranger”.

About this single Staples explains: “Some songs I write, and I understand their reference points. That’s probably the case with “New Order” and “Don’t Walk, Run”. But others I don’t understand where they come from – they just happen. “Always a Stranger” is one of those songs, at its centre it holds a kind of mystery for me.”

The legendary British band returns to Portugal in November for a tour with dates scheduled for Covilhã, Leiria, Aveiro, Porto and Lisbon. With over 30 years of history and a career full of unforgettable songs, the Tindersticks are ready to surprise audiences once again.
