Construction and music video
The hallmarks of the track are Gary Barlow's falsetto voice in the chorus and his improvisations at the end of the song. An organ is played in the interlude.
The music video was shot in Iceland under the direction of David Mold . It shows the individual members, packed with their microphone stands, on their way through stony, volcanic terrain. After Middle Eight , the band members have reached the top of a cliff and sing the song together into the stormy night.
