Synopsis
Jason Pierce appears alone in a stark, observational performance video that follows him through an urban landscape. The camera keeps its attention on his solitary presence rather than building a conventional storyline, matching the song's tension between isolation and its repeated call to "come together." The deliberately plain imagery contrasts with Spiritualized's dense blend of guitars, horns, strings, organ and gospel influence, creating a street-level visual counterpart to the overwhelming scale of the music.
