That clip isn't really my cup of tea. I really like the shots of the band playing, but that's a given... the story parts just don't mould with the song though, in my opinion. I don't know, it just sort of reminds me of a lot of those generic videos that are about.. in particular an older Skinlab one I saw. I don't really associate Opeth with imagery like that, so in my mind the music and pictures just don't click.
Having said that... the solo section and the riff after it which show only the band playing... *thumbs up*. I think what would be really cool for a future clip is to have one or all of the band members be part of whatever little story concept there is, and work their music parts into that, like as Mike walks down the street he walks by a desolate, homeless Peter jamming on a broken acoustic coincidentally playing the same part as the song etc. etc.
