Subsequently ‘Never Stop Moving’ was released in Los Angeles, USA and will be released worldwide.
Aptly titled ‘Never stop moving’ the video produced and directed by the award-winning Sri Lankan music director, playback singer and video director Sachith Peiris features American pop and classical vocalist Casey Breves who recently sang with Adele at Radio City Hall.
The video’s intensely stirring lyrics – the work of the prolific Sri Lankan rapper, singer and songwriter Ashanthi de Alwis – and powerful and evocative imagery of Sri Lankan places and pastimes combine in a pulsating audio visual jambalaya that is expected to take social media by storm.
The explorer’s impulse to travel and relish for new experiences and adventure have been perfectly captured in this vibrant new music video ‘Never Stop Moving’, produced and launched in Sri Lanka with sponsorship support from CEAT.
A 2’43’’ kaleidoscopic showcase of Sri Lanka with stimulating references to blazing trails, unleashing wings, embracing the power and flying through the air, the video is all about the journey and the importance of never stopping.
The video portrays more than 25 popular and unexplored tourism destinations in Sri Lanka, including the hidden splendour of Kalpitiya, Arugam Bay, Vakarai, Passikudah, Yala, Mannar, Nilaveli, Jaffna, Delft as well as long-established popular tourist attractions in the other parts of the country.
Sachith Peiris, the Producer and Director of ‘Never stop moving’ said he hoped the exciting imagery created by Director of Photography Chamath Hansaka and the skills of Production Coordinator Yashinka Silva would resonate with audiences around the world and generate wider interest in what Sri Lanka has to offer as well as visitors, while providing music video enthusiasts with great entertainment.
‘We have spent days and days travelling to grab a half second shot for our video. My team have really sacrificed their time and energy on this project.
I have to thank Sri Lanka Air Force, Army and Sri Lanka Navy for lending their helping hands in travelling and arranging many restricted interesting places for this video.

Apart from creating a song, my main motivation was to give the correct picture of Sri Lanka to the rest of the world’ said Sachith in his oration at the grand launching ceremony in Colombo.
Speaking at the music video’s launch in Colombo, Bishri Latiff, DGM – Marketing of sponsor CEAT Kelani Holdings said the company found the producer’s effort to portray Sri Lanka’s potential as a cornucopia of attractive locations and exciting experiences appealing and worthy of support.
‘Never Stop Moving’ is the second music video sponsored by CEAT. The first, ‘Miringuwa Parada’, by the Germany-based musician Chitral Somapala was a phenomenal success in 2013.
‘Never stop moving’ can be viewed on YouTube, Facebook and Google and is also expected to be telecast by local channels shortly.
The vocalist Casey Breves performs across the United States, Europe, and Asia. He sang with the Grammy award winning male vocal ensemble ‘Chanticleer’ from 2010 to 2013.
