Music video

The video for "Live Twice" was filmed in Málaga, Spain [3] in black and white. The church bell tolls and Darius is holding a rosary. He removes his tie and watch, symbolic of letting go of the material World. Groups of photographers and fans try to catch his attention but Darius walks through them like a spirit. He is shown chasing after a white horse but when it eventually stops it dies peacefully whilst a girl releases a dove as a symbol of hope. The white stallion used in filming the video also made an appearance as Brad Pitt's horse in the movie Troy. [3]
