Music Video | Norway | 2014

Wiki

Synopsis

Susanne Sundfor appears in a dark, unfamiliar world that feels suspended between waking life and a dream. Moving through fog and shifting shadows, she is surrounded by passing silhouettes that emerge and disappear around her. The video keeps its imagery abstract rather than presenting a conventional narrative, matching the song's themes of separation, emotional distance, and the fear that a relationship is slowly vanishing. Its stark atmosphere contrasts with the track's polished, 1980s-inspired pop sound.
