Music video

The music video begins the same time as the song starts, focusing on a shot of the microphone on its stand. Gaz Coombes then comes into view, singing the first line of the song, and the camera rotates slowly around the rest of the band. The video is set in a completely white room, with the band demurely dressed, and a distinct red wooden piano being played by Rob Coombes.
