Usual things are sometimes exceptional
Herman Dünes´s song I wish that I could see you soon is the new soundtrack for a genuine story: the story of Dani, Clara, Enrico and Kyoshi. They are four young stagers living a summer´s dream in El Bulli, being under the supervision of Ferrán Adrià and his team.
The videoclip, directed by Isabel Coixet, begins with the image of Dani when is about to set up his own restaurant, as one of the main characters of the story. In the middle of the scene, among crates, kitchenware and crockery, a picture is found by the young man. In that picture, we see a young woman called Clara who was a stager during his training period in the past. From that moment on, memories of that idyllic summer will come to his mind in Cape Creus.
It is indeed a Mediterranean flavoured experience: between saucepans and dishes remains time enough for playing card games, trips, beach parties, even a nice love story...
Finally, the trainee would become a chef and he would remember together with Ferrán Adrià that “Usual things are sometimes exceptional”, while savouring the natural Estrella Damm beer flavour with some fried eggs, just in front of the sea.
Videoclip stories
From the main idea of this promoting video, Adrià asked the actors and actresses to make a real introduction to the stager world. Therefore, actors and actresses spent two days together with Adrià´s team, just to really get to know the way chefs used to work.
All cooking images are real, as well as the rest of stagers we see in the commercial. Those people are the real apprentices who are daily working with Ferrán Adrià. It is worth highlighting that 7 of 10 most important restaurants in The World´s 50 Best Restaurant Awards 2011, have previously been El Bulli stagers.
Lyrics: I wish that I could see you soon
I had to leave you and go away but I
think about you everyday
in the morning and the afternoon
I wish that I could see you soon
and when I held you I felt so fine
it was like there was nothing left on my mind
it was like Rockaway Beach in the month of June
I wish that I could see you soon
I had no plans to meet you baby
I had a million things to do baby
but you hit my heart with a harpoon
I wish that I could see you soon
The angels go 'How long 'til you can see her?'
and I'm like: 'The sooner the better'',
'Do you really think she will wait for you?'
'Well I have no way to say and there's nothing I can do,
well I have no way to say and there's nothing I can do', go!
Now listen, now that I am across the sea
I wonder if you're gonna wait for me
or if you're gonna find a new boy to spoon
I wish that I could see you soon
and if you wait a little my pretty friend
until I come back to hold your hand
we'll be like bugs when they break through a cocoon
you know, I wish that I could see you soon
it's been a while since I felt like this
now i found someone I really miss
under the sun, under the moon
I wish that I could see you soon
Angels: 'how long 'til you can see her?'
and I'm like: 'The sooner the better'
angels: 'do you really think she will wait for you?'
and i'm like: 'there's no way to say and there's nothing i can do
there's no way to say and there's nothing i can do', go!
Angels again: 'How long 'til you can see her?'
I'm like: 'Well, the sooner the better'
'Do you really think she will wait for you?'
and I'm like: 'There's no way to say and there's nothing i can do
no way to say and there's nothing I can do,
Well, no way to say and there's nothing I can do
no way to say and there's nothing I can do'
