The video follows two characters, Elliott and Tom, as they try to resolve the issues in their lives. Elliott is struggling in his relationship and begins to question his faith, and his faith in himself, as he tries to become happy in his relationship again. Meanwhile, Tom feels alone amongst his friends, and much prefers the solace of isolated locations where he is at one with his thoughts. Unbeknownst to him is how much he is missed by his friends, who go out searching for him, and find him as he exits the forest, and show him how much they care for him.
The video is a narrative one that follows the structure set out by Todorov's Narrative Theory, and adheres to many of Goodwin's theories about music videos, including the link between lyrics and visuals, that is detailed more in Question 1 of my Evaluation.
