Music video
The music video begins with a girl trapped in a large bubble of water. The band is then shown to be playing in front of her. Throughout the video, she looks around inside her bubble, until the song's bridge, at which point the bubble explodes. Heavy rain then starts falling on the band, and intense winds begin to blow. The girl, now free from the bubble, is taken away by what appears to be an angel. The video closes with the band walking toward the camera.

The lead-off number, "You Are the One," shines thanks to some crisp arrangements that sounds like a blending of the Killers and Talk Talk." Both bands are considered new wave
