What a sweet video! This happy, colourful, graphic style is so rare among music videos; most try to be 'cool' with according bleak colours. Love it, and the song, too!
This is one of my favourite Mike Oldfield songs {inspired by his and Anita's daughter Greta}, though I prefer the 12" mix from "The Platinum Collection" {over 5 mins long} as it has a great intro.
Interestingly, on his 1980 album "QE2", he wrote the song 'Molly' for his daughter with Sally Oldfield {née Cooper ~ not to be confused with his sister, who is also called Sally!}
Mike Oldfield is the best! Though I find this video to be very alarming at 1:08 when the teeth all of a sudden fly out of the mouth. I like warped things like this, but when I showed this to my family, they recoiled in their chairs.

This video makes me think of a mother that is taking psychadelic hallucinogenic drugs while pregnant and it has messed up their baby. Mike Oldfield is one sick man.

I was very disappointed by the Earth Moving album when I bought it - thank goodness I listened to it again. The production may be somewhat synthetic, but the songs are top-notch, especially the title track, Holy and of course this pop gem.
Hey. thanx for saying that MartyMacLorean. It does make more sense than the other one. The other one is good but it just doesn't cut it as much as this one.
PS I am called Hibernaculum cause of a Mike Oldfield song i heard from his "The Songs of Distant Earth Album.
I have been wanting to see this video since i bought the elemets DVD at christmas. It said it was on there. But they had the other video. This one is mich better and makes more sense. Loving Mikes music again. Thanx for posting.
P.S. I loike who ever drew the cartoon Mike. That is if it is him.
The original Video is better!!!
