Synopsis

Faithless' "Don't Leave" video combines the group's performance with scenes from the 1997 film A Life Less Ordinary. The film footage follows Robert and Celine, whose desperate kidnapping gradually turns into an unlikely romance while angels and criminals complicate their escape. Against the song's pleading ballad, the clip emphasizes separation, uncertainty, and the possibility of reconciliation, giving the track a cinematic emotional setting rather than presenting a conventional performance-led storyline.
