The video begins with a continuous shot of Luke walking out of his apartment and flashes back on multiple occasions to his relationship with what is assumed to be his ex-girlfriend and memories they had together.
The scene then changes to be inside a nightclub, where the lighting of the shot is very dark and enigmatic, just as is the majority of the video, except during the flashbacks. This could be representative of the fact that the memories are still fresh in his head, either because: they happened recently, or he thinks about them/her regularly and so they are strong memories that he remembers clearly.
The dark lighting of the club creates confusion, but allows the audience to make out Luke searching around the club, seeing if every blonde girl there is the one he is looking for, remembering a different memory each time.
The female character then shows up at the party, initially in the toilets having a breakdown, but then appears to enter the club and walk right past Luke. He then seems to turn to his friend and give him permission to go for her if he wants.
The whole narrative of the video is very enigmatic, not portraying the storyline very well making it hard to work out for sure what is actually going on. I do not really like this style, however I do like the idea behind the narrative - following a break up and the couples desperation and naievety in dealing with break ups or troubles within relationships. I think, if done right, this could be a successful plot to follow if accompanied with the right song.
