But it is not a plot they came up with..it is an interpretation of Alfred Noyes's "Highwayman" poem. I actually like the music video since I read the poem before I saw the video (kind of like reading the book before the movie ).

"And still on a winter's night, they say, when the wind is in the trees,
When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
When the road is a gypsy's ribbon looping the purple moor,
The highwayman comes riding--
Riding--riding--
The highwayman comes riding, up to the old inn-door.

Over the cobbles he clatters and clangs in the dark inn-yard,
He taps with his whip on the shutters, but all is locked and barred,
He whistles a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there
But the landlord's black-eyed daughter--
Bess, the landlord's daughter--
Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair."

Great album. Jupiter really disappointed me though.

This song has so much truth behind it.

Scout Niblett, my favourite British female singer-songwriter. I love her minimalist style.

I didn't realize this, Lilagare. The video then is a pretty good representation of Alfred Noyes's "Highwayman" poem, in which I especially like the line, "The road is a gypsy's ribbon looping the purple moor."

I still don't think the video matches Fleetwood Mac's song "Everywhere" well at all, but I'm glad to know the background. Thanks for sharing it!

I love her name, Scout Niblett, but not her slightly off-key, quavery, scratchy throated style of singing, which I found very distracting. I have no idea what the song was about, because I was just so repelled by her singing!

Now I'm listening to another of her songs, to hear if they are the same. I like the following song a tiny bit better than "Wet Road." I think her music may be the type that people either love or they hate.

Scout Niblett - "Comfort You"
