Music video

The video was shot over two days at the Estacion De Francia train station in Barcelona, Spain.{{Cite web |url=http://www.nigeldick.com/films-2.htm |title=Website of Nigel Dick, director: df439 DARIUS – Incredible |access-date=2 May 2008 |archive-date=24 June 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100624100736/http://www.nigeldick.com/films-2.htm |url-status=dead }}

After Darius has an argument with his girlfriend, played by model Kate Groombridge, he tries to find her to apologise, but the train he thinks she is on leaves before he can say sorry. He then exits the train station down-hearted, just missing his girlfriend, who returns to find him.
