This music video shows members of the band becoming ghosts and walking back through scenes from their past. These scenes include a children's party, Christmas morning, a high school party, and a funeral. As the band's ghostly figures walk through the house the other people are unaware of their presence, until the end when they all turn to look at the viewer as the band fades away.
Location
The video is set in a house. It seems this house holds many memories for the band. It is quite a dated house showing its age so it is obvious the viewer is looking back at the past. It looks oldest in the children's party and most modern at the funeral. When it flashes forward to the present the house seems abandoned and empty.
The band are all wearing dark and formal suits/outfits, this reflects the dark nature of the song. The extras in the video are wearing dated clothes, especially the children's party, to show their chronological order in time.
Storyline
The members of the band are ghostly figures looking back at scenes from their past, these scenes include a children's party, Christmas morning, a high school party, and a funeral. They obviously have a significance to the characters. As they walk about the extras are oblivious to their presence until the end as the band fades away they turn to look at the camera. This video fits in with the suggested meaning of the song where one recalls better times, although others have suggested the song is about suicide or looking back after death.
Performance/Style
