Music video

The video is about a fisherman who goes missing. It follows his wife and daughter both breaking down. The video ends with the mother realising she cannot go on like this and trying to continue with her life. There are also scenes of Davies singing on a couch.[2]

The video featured actress Amanda Ryan and was filmed on location in the town of Whitstable on the north Kent coast in April 2007. The interior scenes were shot in another house on the seafront, not the house shown on the external shot.
