The culmination of the album—a gentle, pensive but emotional ballad about being in love with a goal or dream and whether the cost of such a pursuit is worth the sacrifices.
Continuing a lineage from video singles in 2024, Alas directed a video filmed at Ferniehirst Castle near Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders. It was built in the 15th Century, the seat of the Clan Kerr, known as ‘Scotlands frontier fortress’ surviving centuries of border warfare.

After rapid growth in appreciation of her ethereal vocals, indie-pop soundscapes, and poignant storytelling, Alas de Liona celebrates Halloween with a bombastic new single, For Forever, out on 25th October.
The song follows the release of her album Gravity of Gold, and offers a glimpse into ‘Vespertina’, a vampire themed musical screenplay project Alas is developing.
The For Forever video is another short film written and directed by Alas, in which a vampire broods on the drawbacks of immortality before a Lost Boys-style 80’s transformation. As with previous work, she makes great use of filming in locations around Edinburgh.
A music video (4.34) written and directed by Alas de Liona.
Alas enters an art gallery and is drawn into a collage, daydreaming scenes from elements within it.
The collages have been created by the esteemed artist Clive Knights. Six of them feature in recent singles and on her new album release on 13th September, Gravity of Gold.
The centre collage that is the magnet for her imaginary vignettes, was created by Clive from stills taken from the opening shots across the scenes.
Scenes shot around Edinburgh feature, a nightclub at Leith Arches, an elegant woman walking Irish Wolfhounds by Howdah Café in Stockbridge, a master weaver in the renowned Dovecot Studios, a spinning wheel in a Folk Arts & Witch Crafts workshop in Causewayside and The Gently Mad Book Shop in Canonmills.
Alas also selected friends’ footage of diverse Edinburgh clips, a drone through a Scottish Highlands stone bridge and a biodiverse vineyard in Nerac, France.
