With the pulling in and out of the TV. | o Natural lighting o Dark – old – vintage studio o Studio environment (Apartment) o High key lighting o Costume is very casual, jeans and plain tops with a jacket. | o Upbeat o The whole band gets involved in the video, however there are still main shots of the lead singer.
