Synopsis

Set against the bright coastal scenery of Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula, the video follows Neil Finn, Paul Hester and Nick Seymour as they travel through seaside locations in a collection of vintage vehicles. The band members perform and wander around beaches, roads and holiday spots, giving the clip a relaxed, sunlit character that contrasts with the song's more introspective mood. A small caravanette and classic cars add to the eccentric road-trip atmosphere, while the spacious outdoor setting reinforces the song's connection between personal emotion and the changing weather.

Factoids & Trivia

• The video was filmed in January 1992 near Queenscliff, Victoria, with additional Bellarine Peninsula locations including Portarlington.

• The shoot took place after Tim Finn had left Crowded House. As a result, the video features the remaining trio of Neil Finn, Paul Hester and Nick Seymour.

• Local holidaymakers joined the two-day shoot, helping give the seaside footage an informal, populated summer feel rather than the appearance of a tightly controlled studio production.

• The vehicles are a major part of the clip's visual identity. They include a 1956 Fiat 600 Multipla towing a small Sports Minor caravanette, as well as a Ford Thunderbird convertible.

• The sunny Australian locations were particularly useful for the song's British promotion. The footage offered a strong summer image while the single was being promoted in the colder, grayer UK season.

• The single reached No. 7 in the UK, helping revive interest in the 1991 album Woodface. It also became one of Crowded House's most recognizable international songs.

• The video uses a slightly rearranged edit of the song, moving the chorus ahead of the second verse and shortening some instrumental passages.
