The song is unusual for Ultravox in that it is mainly guitar rather than synth driven.
The 'performance' part of the promotional video was shot in very cold conditions over the weekend of Saturday, 14th - Sunday, 15 January 1984, primarily at the Callanish III standing stones site at Callanish on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides (Western Isles) of Scotland. Other non-performance parts were filmed at the main Callanish I standing stones site and edited into the video and featured individual band members reflected in vertically placed triangular-shaped mirrors.
