Music video

The music video begins the same time as the song starts, focusing on a shot of the microphone on its stand. Gaz Coombes then comes into view, singing the first line of the song, and the camera rotates slowly around the rest of the band. The video is set in a completely white room, with the band demurely dressed, and a distinct red wooden piano being played by Rob Coombes.

gollark: Opus is now as far as I'm aware the most... widely-installed OS. Probably because it has a lot of very useful programs, but using any of them requires pulling down the whole thing from kernel to random GUI libraries.
