Queens of the Stone Age Drop a Short Film for “From the Cliff,” a Rare QOTSA Love Song

The band shares the official video for the fifth track off Perfecth, their chart-topping ninth album out now on Matador, and it is one of the most harrowing songs as anything they have made.

Perfecth has been out since October 30 and it has already hit #1 in five countries, including the UK and Australia, while landing in the top ten in eleven countries. The album is nine songs long and was recorded across sessions in New Orleans and Los Angeles. “From the Cliff” is the fifth track and among the most unusual things Homme has ever made: a straightforward love song, an attempt to express a plain “I love you” and hold onto a fleeting beautiful moment. For a songwriter who has always found it easier to write about pain, melancholy, or anger, that is a deliberate act.

The video was written by Homme and Nathalia Pizarro and directed by Pizarro, a Canadian-born filmmaker and founder of The New American Picture Show who has made several award-winning short films and is currently in post-production on her debut feature ILLOMEN. The film stars Homme, actresses Kaiman Kazazian and Natalia Safran, and actor Steve Olson, and tells what the band calls a harrowing tale of love and trauma. It earns that description. Pizarro’s ILLOMEN is set to begin its festival run in spring 2027 with Homme among the cast.
