Music video

The video features Tania recording a snapshot of her life to send to her mother. The entire video is viewed from the TV's point of perception, with Tania doing various things correlating with the lyrics in the song as she sings. The view occasionally turns the side where James Roche can be seen playing an instrument. It ends with Tania ejecting the tape and writing 'Mum, For You' on an envelope before slipping the tape inside.
