Synopsis
The clip places Hum's performance inside a murky, heavily green-processed visual field. Images of the musicians are broken up by abstract, dreamlike inserts and disorienting shifts in texture and scale, giving the song's science-fiction language a visual counterpart without turning it into a literal narrative. Rather than following characters or a linear plot, the video works as a mood piece: an atmospheric collage of color, movement and visual noise that mirrors the track's uneasy sense of release.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video is generally dated to 1997, while "Green to Me" appeared on Hum's *Downward Is Heavenward*, released on January 27, 1998.
- "Green to Me" was issued as a promotional-only single and did not chart in the United States.
- The clip received late-1990s alternative-music television exposure, including airplay on *120 Minutes* and Chicago-based JBTV.
- The official video upload identifies the copyright holder as BMG Entertainment and preserves the original late-1990s presentation rather than a newly produced retrospective edit.
Lyrics

The morning image from the satellites is all blue and green. And we've all got wounds to clean, here's a rag, here's some gasoline. She wakes up fine and rested well, released at last from in the sleeping cell, breathing comes with ease. It's a sweet revenge, built on a chemical ride, my medicine man is the best wires to the temples, place them on let's see how we sound. It's all green to me. What a sweet revenge. It's all green to me. ... |
