Doris Yeh, the band’s spokesperson, gave insight on the story behind the song and video stating,
“‘Millennia’s Faith Undone’ was inspired by the era of radical change in the history of Taiwan between the 30s and the 50s, also as the prequel to their albums of story series. Birdy, the director of the music video, set the narrative after the stores in their previous music videos of ‘Defenders of Bú-Tik Palace’ (acoustic version) and ‘Kaoru’ (acoustic version).
With an out of body experience, the main character sees the White Terror victims’ lives taken away by the dictators, and eventually himself being executed by shooting; all was left is his last will and testament overwhelmed in the mass of historical documents. Birdy recruited the crew and the lead actor and actress, Finn (黃士勛) and Chia-Yu Chang (王丁筑), from the shoot for ‘Defenders of Bú-Tik Palace’ (acoustic ver.) and ‘Kaoru’ (acoustic ver.) four years ago.
Additionally, The Aeon’s version of “Millennia’s Faith Undone” will receive a music video treatment and will be premiered at the end of this month. In the upcoming video, the story will be told from the perspective of the lead female character. Stay tuned!
