This song has two music videos. The first, directed by David Mould, is the more popular one, and the one that the band have uploaded on YouTube. The second video was made specifically for the US market and was directed by Paul Cunningham.
In January the band flew back to the United States to shoot two videos in Los Angeles. The first, ‘Fake Plastic Trees’ was produced by Jake Scott [son of Bidley - who directed Blade Bunner], and was shot in a hangar at L.A.’s Van Nuys airport, where the end of Casablanca was filmed. ‘High And Dry‘ was shot just outside L.A. in Vasquez Canyon, near the location where old episodes of Star Trek were made, and the recent Flintstones film. The band had to suffer a freezing cold deluge of water being sprayed on them for the shoot.
