Synopsis

The video presents a group of performers in a carefully staged, dreamlike setting. Their movements and encounters unfold like a miniature ritual, with costume, color, and tableau taking precedence over a conventional narrative. The imagery echoes the song's cycle of sun, moon, water, and absence, creating a gently surreal portrait of waiting and reunion. Instead of relying on a straightforward band performance, the clip builds a stylized visual world around the repeated wish for someone to be close again.
