Music video

The music video for the song was issued in 2 separate parts and was directed by Stevie Russell.

Oliver who is afflicted with a deformed face works in a company and is attracted to Mandy one of the co-workers, but she is cautious in developing any relation with him because of his deformity. In part 1 of the video, Oliver is bullied by 3 of his co-workers, who later on harass Mandy. But Oliver stands up for her pushing them back.

Mandy warms up to this fellow because of his defense of her against the bullies. In part 2, Oliver forgets to wear his tie while going to work. He gets his tie but his dog slips through the open door and gets lost. The dog wanders the streets and also passes by a street band (Kodaline) performing.

Oliver discovers the loss of his dog when he returns home and immediately goes on a hunt for finding his dog and Mandy helps him in printing the posters that he distributes all over the locality. He eventually finds his dog in a farm land outside his locality.

The director of the 2 videos Stevie Russel plays the main character Oliver with his love interest Mandy being played by Amy De Bhrún. The bullies are played by James Cosgrave, Tristan McConnell and Ciaran O'Grady.

Artist

I Kodaline (ˈkoʊdəlaɪn) sono un gruppo musicale irlandese alternative rock formatosi a Dublino.

Originariamente conosciuta come 21 Demands, la band comincia a farsi sentire nel marzo 2007, con il loro singolo di debutto Give Me a Minute che sale subito sul podio della Irish Singles Chart, ottenendo risultati incredibili per essere un brano pubblicato in modo indipendente.

Nel 2011 la band cambia il nome in Kodaline. Steve Garrigan e Mark Prendergast si conoscono fin dall'infanzia, essendo entrambi cresciuti a Dublino. Anni dopo hanno cominciato a condividere il loro amore per la musica insieme a Vinny May, anche lui di Dublino, ed entra quindi a far parte della band.

Hanno poi recentemente completato la formazione reclutando il bassista Jason Boland.
