Music video

The video was released on 17 October 2011 and is 4 minutes long.[1] At the start of the video it features panning shots of a messy but temporarily vacant room with a video of Modestep performing the song playing on a computer in the room. Just before the chorus begins, the video moves away from the house upwards gradually into space, revealing the fact the house is located in Brazil. From then on the video features slow motion footage of the band performing against a dark background and footage of various galaxies and nebulae, including planetary nebulae and the famous Horsehead Nebula which is shown near the end of the space sequence, at which point the camera returns downwards to the house again and the video ends.

A video featuring an extreme dubstep remix of the song by Break The Noize & The Autobots[2] was uploaded onto YouTube by UKF Dubstep before the original video on 5 October 2011. The video shows the band backstage, on the road, marshing and at various concerts which they played at during the summer of 2011.
