[edit] Music video

The music video has been directed by Douglas Hart.

It features the band, getting back to nature, strolling through an autumnal Somerset forest, gazing skywards. The scene switches to a dark, crowded and somewhat claustrophobic room. There is a party going on, under a swinging, interrogation type lamp, with a group of gangsta rap type characters and the band. At various stages, Doherty appears to be flat on his back, as he observes this gathering.

There is a dark and light theme throughout the clip, with the band seen in the darkness of the forest at first and then later in the video, out in the open, in the bright sunlight.
