Music video

The video enters a painting and shows the images of a couple living in a farm house. The lady (interpreted by Violet Wilson) finds an envelope in the jacket from her lover after he leaves her. She is seen drowning in a lake, being carried by her lover, and sitting on a bed watching the window with a sad expression on her face. The alternative version contains more scenes of the couple inside this peaceful "natural scene" of the painting where they live, while the original video shows the band playing "Born Again."
