Music video

[edit | edit source]

A music video was first released onto Facebook on 28 January 2016[1] and a day after on YouTube[2] at a total length of three minutes and thirty-six seconds. The video begins with Birdy lying down with her head on a large pillow, peering intently at the camera. The camera gradually gets closer to her eye, then this scene gives way to various scenes of Birdy and other people. Demons and angels appear in her way throughout the video. At the end, Birdy is again shown lying down with her head on the pillow. The video was directed by Chris Turner (Favourite Color Black).[3]
