One Door Closes Another Door Opens

當年呢首歌是愛爾蘭歌手係國際流行樂壇中最成功的作品之一。同樣當年呢個MTV也令我印象深刻，因為當時太令我有震撼性。

點解有震撼性，因為我接觸呢首歌時正經歷六四後，加埋自己中學畢業後果種前途迷茫的時刻。看見呢首MTV將人生生老病死各階段表達出來，加上拍攝效果比較灰暗，對當時年少的我是一種衝擊。

不過呢首歌同樣將愛爾蘭美麗的風光和愛爾蘭人的生活表達出來好好。

“In A Lifetime” is a pop song performed by Irish artists Clannad and Bono. It was written by brothers Pól Brennan and Ciarán Brennan and produced by Steve Nye. The song was released in 1986, and was the first single to be released from Clannad's 8th studio album Macalla(1985). It charted well in many countries including USA, Ireland, UK, Italy and Brazil. It is one of Clannad's most successful songs and it remains as Bono's most successful solo effort.

The single was re-released in 1989 with a change of artwork on the cover and a different B Side (Indoor).

The video was shot in Clannad's hometown of Gweedore, Co. Donegal, Ireland. It is set in 1930's Ireland and it is based on the lives of local folk around this time. It shows young children walking along a narrow road in the countryside, followed by a hearse. It also shows old men drinking in a pub. The video, which was directed by Meiert Avis, was praised for its haunting portrayal of the Irish countryside and old Irish traditions.
