[edit] Music video

The official music video features Yvonne Sciò dressed in angel's wings and a leather pilot cap with aviator's goggles from the 1920s. Parts of the video were filmed in Calgary, Alberta. The clip also attempts to convey how a female can never truly be out of a males reach, its just a matter of time before she will realize that she may not be so high above him.
