Synopsis

The video places Take That in a dark underwater world, with each member sinking separately through the depths. As they struggle to remain afloat, flashes of personal memories appear: romance, parenthood, separation, conflict, and other moments from life away from the band. The imagery presents the water as a metaphor for the ten years they spent apart after Take That's original breakup. Near the end, Gary Barlow reaches Jason Orange, while Howard Donald and Mark Owen surface and hold onto a raft, looking back with quiet reflection.
