The video for ‘Sad Day’ was filmed in Twigs’ hometown of London. The video comes three years since Twigs began training in the Chinese martial art of Wushu under the guidance of Master Wu of the Shaolin Wushu Centre.

Tribute to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

The sword fighting scenes in “Sad Day” pay tribute to the most familiar martial arts movie “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”. The chasing of martial arts under the circumstances, marching on the water surface, is a good evolution of the battle of bamboo forest in “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.
