[edit] Music video

The video for "Summerland" begins by showing a passage from St. Augustine's Confessions. Performance footage includes a black & white, live concert, the band playing in front of a thunderous, nighttime skyline with leaves constantly falling, and in front of a time-lapsed carnival. The ending of "Summerland" has the band entering a realm of static nature scenery that mirrors the album cover artwork. The video makes thorough use of chroma key for the various locations.
