Music video

The video has a medieval setting, and starts out with a knight arguing with his spouse. He then walks out on her. The song begins playing and he encounters the lead singer Kevin Cronin who appears to be a wizard. The rest of the video follows the knight walking through the streets of a big city. The video uses a lot of stop motion.[2]
