Music video
The video for "The Arms of Sorrow" shows a man (Antal Kalik) falling through the air in slow motion. As he falls, he passes an apartment building. He falls past a woman doing laundry, an elderly man cutting a board with a power saw, a younger girl blowing bubbles, a woman slapping her boyfriend, two men painting, a muscular man skipping rope, a fireman on a ladder, the band, and a woman throwing a bucket of water out the window, before eventually falling into a swimming pool. Finally, the man climbs out of the pool by using the pool ladder. Scenes of the band playing in a room are shown between scenes of the man falling.
