Charles Costa - Aeolian | Music Video of the Week

Charles Costa’s 'Aeolian' is an atmospheric music video directed by Ella Faye Donley, with cinematography by Ambre Cécille, where visual language carries the emotional weight. Set against the open sea and fading Sicilian light, the film leans into natural composition and stillness, allowing each frame to breathe.

The song’s lyrics speak to absence and emotional distance, and the video responds with quiet imagery. A figure floating in the sea, solitary walks at dusk and the presence of an unanswered telephone suggest moments suspended in time. Rather than spelling out a narrative, the camera listens to the music, translating feeling into light, space and silence.

'Aeolian' is a video that trusts atmosphere over explanation, using elegant cinematography to mirror the song’s sense of longing and unresolved connection.
