Music Video
The original music video featured the band rehearsing in an ancient room, where shelves would spontaneously fall and drawers would open, with other special effects.
In the re-release video released in 2008, the band are 'ghosts' at a dinner party, playing on a table in the room. The guests cannot see them but know something paranormal is happening, due to the shaking table. At one point Alex Davies kicks a wine glass to the floor and Dan Hetherton knocks down books from the bookshelf.
Both of these videos are loosely reflective of the theme of the track, which is inspired lyrically by the time spent by Alex Davies and Ed Minton in an attic flat in their school- Uppingham, Rutland- that Alex believed to be haunted, due to lights swinging mysteriously, posters falling, drawers opening, and other supernatural phenomena.
During filming the first video, Ed Minton's guitar neck accidentally snapped off; if you watch closely, you will see that his guitar in the video changes.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“Orpheus with his lute made trees
And the mountain tops that freeze
Bow themselves when he did sing.
To his music plants and flowers
Ever sprung, as sun and showers
There had made a lasting spring.”
