Third Man Records is pleased to share the genius surprise gift they received from their friend MICHEL GONDRY. On his own and without anyone's knowledge, the legendary filmmaker shot a video for "City Lights," which he sent them the other night. The video is Gondry's fifth visual collaboration with The White Stripes. "City Lights" was written for The White Stripes' GET BEHIND ME SATAN but then forgotten until White revisited the 2005 album for Third Man's Record Store Day 2015 vinyl reissue and finished the recording in 2016. The track is the first new, worldwide commercially released song by The White Stripes since 2008.
“City Lights” available on The White Stripes from the new compilation album Jack White Acoustic Recordings 1998-2016 out NOW. Purchase the essential Jack White songwriting collection now: http://smarturl.it/jwacoustic

Very cool.
Can’t really describe how wonderful this is, it’s like a reminder of humanity. Thank you
Beautiful.
This is ahmaaazing!
@Izzy_B You nailed it
Sitting here watching this on the last of five nights in Detroit, I can’t help but think how welcome I’ve felt every time I’ve come here. I’ve had so many encounters with local folks who have been friendly and helpful and informative and interesting and just plain nice. I think those memories are now always going to be associated with this song. Thank you very much for sharing this simple and simply beautiful video with us in the Vault before its public debut. Many kudos to Mr. Gondry.
Love it.
