"Black Out the Sun" is the third overall single from British-based Australian singer-songwriter Darren Hayes' fourth studio album, Secret Codes and Battleships, released on 2 October 2011.

[3] The music video for "Black Out the Sun" premiered on Hayes' official YouTube channel on 21 August 2011, at a total length of four minutes and fifteen seconds.

It was shot at a sound stage at Village Roadshow studios in Queensland, using vintage anamorphic lenses from the '70s.

Standing on a deserted beach and surrounded by grim reapers, Hayes seems isolated, lost and confused.

The dark and lifeless wasteland pictured in the video is the perfect backdrop for Hayes' state of mind in the song.
