In That Dark Night, music video
This video has since its release won some awards, been shown around the world, sometimes as part of the winners section, sometimes as part of the "refused" section (like in Grimstad, Norway).
The point of this video was to make something more from that trembling emotion inherent in the track, and to further emphasize on that. I think it worked.
