Isabelle

Greg Johnson

Synopsis

Written and recorded in less than a day, Isabelle became Greg Johnson's biggest single to date, despite the fears of guitarist and label boss Trevor Reekie that a lack of drums limited its radio chances. The enigmatic lyrics — memory, cities under siege, a woman from Zagreb — are complimented by moody imagery of future Shortland Street actor Josephine Davison, and the band in obligatory sunglasses. Director James Holt now directs commercials around the globe.

The biggest unanswered question, if Isabelle comes from the city of Zagreb, why does she appear to live in an old shack in a rustic rural area?
