about

"The Rapture" is pure pop music cut with the purest stardust, a sun bright burst of sonic love to help you just possibly get higher, more than S Express and Sly Stone could ever have imagined, and yet orbiting the same world.

"The Rapture" is a video filmed, edited and directed by Seb Pecchia, as well as being produced by Charlie Jones and Seb Pecchia.

It’s "Around The World In A Day" the long way round, as much as it’s Daft Punk lost on a West Country A road.

It’s a window into The Captain Francisco’s soul, where a deep blue sadness sits right in the middle of a kaleidoscopic rainbow of musical madness.

Shot by long time collaborator Seb Pecchia, the video for "The Rapture" introduces The Captain Francisco’s band, Circus Bear, including Sea Biscuit Sally, who you will meet again in The Captain’s next video, the upcoming “Venus Baby".

The Captain Francisco - aka Charlie Jones - is painting a modern masterpiece in kaleidoscopic colours, building a rollercoaster out of sound and vision.

Everything is up for grabs in the studio and anything goes in front of the camera lens. It’s strange and wild and very free.

"The Rapture" is the Captain’s third single, following "Daddy Come Home" and “God, Why Don’t You Listen?”

The Captain Francisco’s debut album - “Showbusiness" - is released in the new year.

lyrics

In a dream far away I believe it will be
We can possibly just possibly get higher
When it rains on your way if you do light the flame if you choose
We can just possibly get higher
We can just possibly get higher
In a land made of stone Turtell doves making love from above
We can just possibly get higher
What you give what you want what you take give it all
We can just possibly get higher
We can just possibly get higher
It's another way your back just to where you started
It's another way home from where we parted
When you runaway, run away when you run away
From here we started
We can just possibly get higher ....

about

The Captain Francisco UK

The Captain Francisco in a land made of stone.

He is a studio alchemist busy repositioning the very building blocks of rock’n’roll into ever more fantastical new structures. Gleefully stitching together myriad eras genres and multiple eras, The Captain treats the greatest voices and sounds of the last 60 years of music as if they’re presets to be played with. ... more
