Music video
Directed by Sam Arthur,[1] the music video revolves around a creature resembling a small man or boy in a bear suit, and unveils a story of the creature being tracked and captured from its natural habitat, to end up being caged in a zoo, longing to escape. The video, mainly animated, also features a few clips of live recordings with overlapping animation. Additionally, video footage of snowy mountains were sampled from the film adaptation of The Witches, a book by Roald Dahl. Because the lyrics include the words 'being 9 years old', the bearman in the clip can be taken to be dressed up boy or small man.
