Music video

A music video to accompany the release of "Midnight Run" was first released onto YouTube on 21 October 2011 at a total length of four minutes and four seconds. [2] The video was filmed in Iceland, and sees Example sink into his bathtub before emerging out of an Icelandic spring. He then embarks on a road trip with a mysterious blonde woman before arriving at a secluded cottage beneath the mesmerizing Northern Lights. The video showcases a classic Ford Mustang Fastback from 1966, adorned with a special license plate reading "FEED ME" as a tribute to the song's producer. This vintage car is equipped with a powerful High Performance 289 V-8 engine and boasts the iconic Pony Interior package in Red. [3]
