Above & Beyond 'Fly To New York' Music Video: Homage To 'Sleepless in Seattle'

Above & Beyond have released the music video for their upcoming We Are All We Need single "Fly To New York." The video is the latest in a series of clips dedicated to the UK producer, DJ trio's favorite movies. This time they pay homage to the classic romantic comedy Sleepless In Seattle. The single is being released on Friday aptly as the anthem for Electric Zoo this year.

For those well-acquainted with movie, the video will echo familiar themes. A father's son calls into a radio station designed to find people love after his mom died. They receive a bunch of letters, but the son acts on one that tells them to "Fly To New York." The father follows his son to the Big Apple to meet the woman, who leaves her own man at a coffee joint to go find the father at the top of the Empire State building. Proverbial sparks fly and it is love at first sight.

The connection of "Fly To New York" and the big apple runs deeper than just the name. It was premiered at Madison Square Garden for the trio's Group Therapy 100 celebration alongside Mat Zo, ilan Bluestone and Andrew Bayer. It has now been named the anthem of Electric Zoo, which they are headlining on Saturday, Sept. 5.

Watch the video below and get ready for the Above & Beyond vs. Jason Ross Club mix this Friday, Sept. 4. More remixes from Tom Middleton (unrelated to me) and Aero Chord will arrive on Sept. 16.

The track was written with their longtime collaborator Zoë Johnston, who explains the meaning behind the lyrics.

"There's a knowing feeling that this is obviously a work of fiction and will never come true - however the dream is so beautiful and inviting that inevitably there's a sadness about these two 'realities' existing side by side."
