I don't know what's the point of releasing this video. It's exactly the same as Ahead of the Game.

In YouTube times, you need a video for everything. And to be honest, certainly in Mark's case, I much prefer any boring studio footage over a "proper" video. Almost all videos for his solo songs have been awful (partly, I think, because he doesn't give a toss).

Most of the DS ones as well.

He doesn't give a damn, he doesn't even make the effort to pretend he's singing  ;D anyway, he's always hated it.
If I realised that the chances were slim,
How come I'm so surprised when the tide rolled in

Yes, Mark has never been into videos much. He really hates them. So do I. I think there is no need to have a video for every song. A concert video is much more interesting than these studio ones.
This is all the heaven we've got, right here where we are in our Shangri-La.

I agree completely.
These videos would only be interesting if they were an in the studio performance of the song(s),  something like the One Take Radio Sessions/Trawlerman's Song EP.
These playback videos are boring, and looks like Mark finds them not too exciting as well.

Yes, but on the other side it's nice to look at the whole band :)

I could be way off base, but I think it explains Mark's desire to stay in the background a bit and given his health of late, be part of an ensemble rather than the focus of a band... "Holy Moly where did the time go?" says it all to me...
