Music video

The music video for the song features a transition between the band playing on a soundstage and a man locked in a car trunk with his hands tied in rope, as another man (played by the band's road manager Dave Powell) drives the car around the Canadian Prairies.[2] The video was directed by Peter Henderson and produced by Eric Yealland. Cinematographer was Sean Valentini.[2]

The video won the award for "Best Video" at the 1993 Canadian Music Video Awards.[3] The video was also nominated in the "Best Video" category at the 1993 Juno Awards.[4]
