Synopsis

A lone young woman runs through a series of stark, atmospheric locations as the video builds a visual impression of motion, isolation, and escape. The imagery remains deliberately open-ended, favoring fragments and mood over a literal narrative. Her movement is set against the song's expansive alternative-pop sound, with changing light and color creating a dreamlike sense of transformation. Alexina Davidson appears in the credits as the "Running Girl."
