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
So very sweetly done Mr. Gondry!!!
Beautiful video. Drawing on steamy glass like that seems to me both symbolic and visually compelling. The pictures fade almost as soon as they’re drawn, but a shadow stll lingers behind each fresh fingerstroke. It’s a perfect allegory for storytelling. I love it.
Amazing
Some kind of wonderful. Thanks for the sneak peek.
I love it!

Great job all around. It’s awesome.
It’s magical. It evokes all the feelings The White Stripes brought me. Pure wonderment.
That’s brilliant
