Jonathan Hultén – returns with new video for ‘Dawn’ / Taken from his latest album ‘Eyes Of The Living Night’

Following the release of hisbrilliant second album Eyes Of The Living Night at the beginning of the year, Swedish singer-songwriter Jonathan Hultén is back today with a brand-new video for one of the album’s standout tracks, ‘Dawn’. 

Jonathan comments: “Dawn was the first song that was written for what would become the album Eyes Of The Living Night. With piano, electric guitars, buzzing synthesizers, a lo-fi-inspired beat and video game references from the SNES era, Dawn flows through themes of emotional renewal and transitions between life’s different phases. It’s a short, melancholic journey that conveys a simple appreciation of existence itself, despite (or because of) its ephemeral nature. 

With a lyrics-less and incomplete demo as a reference, Amira, Jakob and I went out to film the first shots of what would become the music video of Dawn in the summer of 2023. Although intended as the foundation of a future music video, it was a collaborative and improvised art experiment more than anything else. 8 months later, we went out in the middle of winter to film additional footage: a dance improvisation by Amira on a frozen lake. Eventually, in late 2024, all video material had been filmed, and the song Dawn was finalized and recorded. 

But it wasn’t until the summer of 2025 that all the pieces of the puzzle would come together. Along with a storyboard, the collection of filmed material pointed the way to a cohesive storyline that had organically taken form over time. With more than two years in the making, this music video has had the most experimental and unpredictable creative process of everything we have worked on to date.”
