Fleming, who produced the video, explains: “When we first started thinking of a video, we knew we wanted to play on voyeurism. Something dark, more like an art piece than a traditional music video. By happenstance, my partner, Melinda, had created a piece, which was exhibited at a group show at the Grunwald Gallery in 2005, about suppressing the shadow side. We tried playing the song over the original VHS video and it gave us all chills. We added a few new shots, but mostly tried to leave it alone. It’s not to often you have an almost completed music video created years before the song, or even the band, came to fruition.”
