Music Video
The video was filmed over two days in Germany’s capital city of Berlin on 26 and 27 October 1993 while the band was still promoting "Moving On Up"’s success around Europe. Great landmarks including the Brandenburg Gate, The Berlin Wall, Berliner Dom, the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church and the Fernsehturm (the TV Tower in Alexanderplatz) are all featured within the video adding to atmospheric backdrop seen in a misty haze.
As only the second M People music video to be filmed abroad, the external shots show Heather walking around the cold city centre as is also Mark Bell who is never seen singing with Heather but they seem to pass each other at various points without realising while walking around town. Mike, Paul and Shovell are also seen chatting to each other under bridges, whilst Heather seems oblivious to their existence.
Other internal shots show both Heather and Mark leaning up against separate opposing walls and later are seen in a split-screen effect singing their duet but, again, never directly to each other. During the final chorus, Heather is seated in a quiet German pub alone on a table at the fore and in the background Mike, Paul and Shovell are seated around another table and they join in to sing the chorus. In this final scene, the camera continues to pan horizontally from right to left and back repeatedly as the four main members of the band all sing together.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“But listen, up the road, something gulps, the church spire
Opens its eight bells out, skulls’ mouths which will not tire
To tell how there is no music or movement which secures
Escape from the weekday time. Which deadens and endures.”
—Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
“These people figured video was the Lord’s preferred means of communicating, the screen itself a kind of perpetually burning bush. “He’s in the de-tails,” Sublett had said once. “You gotta watch for Him close.””
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
