"Seen the Light" is a song by English rock bandSupergrass. It was the third single from their fourth albumLife on Other Planets. It was the first Supergrass release onDVD and reached number 22 on theUK Singles Chart when it was released in January 2003.[2][3] The B-side "The Loner" is a cover version of aNeil Young song.
The video begins with the statement "All the world await this human drama, of man's faith in God", which then leads straight to the start of the song itself. It is mainly black-and-white footage (however, there is a brief period of colour film around the middle eight) of music concert goers, people experiencing religiousrevelations and preacher men. The video ends with a wild audience applauding 1950s teen idolFabian Forte, and finally a preacher proclaiming; "When you get to heaven, it'll all be out, and over."
"We're not actually in it," Goffey explains. "It's all really old footage of religious preachers mixed in with old footage ofrock and roll audiences, and what's interesting is they react in the same way. They both go into these convulsions and pull their hair out and stuff. It's quite mad."[4]
