Music video
There are two music videos made for the single. The first one sees A Fine Frenzy playing a piano in the forest, sitting in the middle of a stream. Suddenly rocks start to fly up to the sky. Later we see that parts of the piano start to detach from each other. The second video was directed by the Nee Brothers. In this version we see A Fine Frenzy behind glass doors. She plays a dirty piano as she recalls her almost lover from the past. We see flashbacks of the pair on the beach. The video was later edited to fit a new video mix.
