Music video



Two music videos have been made for this song, both of which can be found on the deluxe edition of 'Silent Shout'. The first version, directed by Bjrn Renner, depicts an early 20th-century or late 19th-century family. The second video depicts a day in the lives of a family of mice, who have built a fairly comfortable house behind a wall in a human house. It uses stop-motion animation and was directed by Chris Hopewell.
