Synopsis
The Murmurs perform their stripped-down version of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" amid pastoral, dreamlike imagery. Leisha Hailey and Heather Grody appear in an open field, while matching scenes unfold on a soundstage dressed to resemble the same landscape. The simple visual setup keeps attention on the duo's close harmonies, acoustic presentation, and the song's surreal atmosphere. Rather than creating a literal adaptation of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," the video uses repetition, theatrical staging, and natural surroundings to echo the song's hypnotic, psychedelic mood.
