Chris Knox directs his own face in this video for his classic love song. The camera gradually pulls out from an extreme close-up of Knox's face to reveal a living room of family and friends. Jump-cutting between images on each beat, Knox, with trademark simple but effective style, fuses lyrics, song and an impassioned performance. Interestingly, in the second part of a ScreenTalk interview for NZ On Screen, Knox admitted that he regrets adding a solarising video effect to the later part of the clip.
