Imagine you are inside a sentient music store, where time doesn’t move forward but instead loops in soft-focus montages of bittersweet almost-memories. Ronan Keating, a man who simultaneously exists inside and outside the concept of love, strolls through this liminal space, not searching for something, but also kind of finding it.

Every glance, every interaction, is both meaningful and meaningless—like trying to read a book in a dream but realizing all the pages are written in a language that only your past self could understand. The people around him are ghosts of love stories that may or may not have ever happened, reacting to him as if they are aware they’re inside a love song but unable to acknowledge it directly.

Keating sings without singing, because the song itself is a contradiction: it’s about the absence of words, yet the lyrics are literally words about not needing words. This is the equivalent of writing an essay on why essays aren’t necessary. Meanwhile, the camera movements float like they’re half-remembered moments from a love you didn’t even know you had until you lost it.

And by the time the video fades out? Nothing has happened, but everything has changed.

05:55.75
gav
Does it raise? I'm going to say that it's like, I reckon you put it in your ears like a pair of earphones and the remote control is like like, it's a headband that says across your forehead and then it slicks back as you control it.

06:09.89
gav
So it like pulls the hair out of your eyes.

06:10.24
Chibbs
With a remote control? Nah, that would have been pretty rad, though.

06:12.06
gav
Yeah.

06:14.23
Chibbs
It's actually just a headband with pockets for your TV remotes.

06:25.02
gav
Oh, that's why he's the rich man and I'm not.

06:25.44
Chibbs
Imagine sitting there, like someone like someone coming over to your house, and you're sitting there, no shirt, heaps short shorts, just sitting there, but you've got a headband that has remotes in it.

06:36.17

07:15.22
Chibbs
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark. Try as I may, i can never explain what I hear when you don't say a thing.

07:29.34
Bevo
I was thinking about this. Like, imagine he's just a bit of an idiot and she's just turned a light switch on. He's like, how the fuck did you do that?

07:36.74
Chibbs
stands in a room and goes, Light!

07:38.03

18:27.85
Chibbs
That's never.

18:27.86

They're always there. Touch of your hand says you'll catch him wherever you whereverever I fall. I suspect he's tried to hang himself in his cell a couple of times, and they've got under and lifted him up, and he's not managed it.

18:36.01
Mad Dog
yeah

18:38.26

25:20.67
Chibbs
As they tried to find another way to say nothing, we came up with this song. Overstreet later told the author ace Collins they thought the song was okay, but nothing special. so

25:30.69
Mad Dog
yeah

25:31.89
gav
wow yeah that's true

25:32.51
Chibbs
Yeah. I guess if you're just smashing the hits out, it's like, this isn't as good as my 15th number one song that I wrote. Yeah.

25:40.90
Mad Dog
good enough i guess yeah

25:42.91
