UK pop songwriter Brandon Flowers has released a great music video for his super catchy song “Can’t Deny My Love” and it’ll appeal to fans of classic creepy stories. The video, which stars Evan Rachel Wood and Richard Butler (The Psychedelic Furs), is basically a retelling of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s story “Young Goodman Brown”, with Flowers as the main character.
This video shows Flowers leaving his wife (Wood) and venturing into the dark night on some strange journey. As he travels, he runs across an old man (Butler) who offers him a serpent-shaped staff, which is refused. He continues on and runs across a Satanic ritual, whereupon he sees his wife as the main focus of the rite. She floats in the air and he finds himself cornered only to suddenly wake up, thinking that everything is a dream. However…is it?
“Can’t Deny My Love” comes from Flowers’ upcoming album The Desired Effect, which comes out on May 18th.
