Synopsis
Jah Wobble performs against a stark, otherworldly desert setting in this atmospheric 1994 video. The barren landscape is intercut with surreal studio imagery, including Wobble and Anna Lee riding bicycles backward through the wasteland. The visuals favor mood and symbolism over a conventional narrative, matching the track's spiritual themes and spacious dub production. Performance footage keeps the musician at the center while the deliberately artificial environment gives the film a dreamlike, ritualistic quality.
Factoids & Trivia

- The song features Norwegian vocalist Anneli Drecker and draws on the album's wider interest in spirituality, meditation, dub, world music and electronic textures.
- The video was filmed during a period when Wobble was speaking openly about music as a meditative and spiritually transformative force, an idea that helps explain the film's austere imagery and deliberate lack of conventional storytelling.
