Music video

The opening scene of the music video features the band members waiting at Shannon Airport, where Nicky Byrne informs the band members that the last flight out has just been cancelled. The band members become upset by the news and Brian McFadden exclaims that he is going home. The others follow and the song begins.

The first stanza takes place inside the airport and during the chorus, the scene shifts to Limerick (Catherine st) a town in Ireland. Harstonge house on Harstonge st (or Oznam house as it is also known) can clearly be seen in the video as they walk down the street. After the end of the first chorus, the scene shifts to Colbert train station in Limerick. Then again during the second chorus, the scene changes to Lahinch Beach, Co. Clare and in Kilkee, (Co. Clare) During the final chorus, the band members sing atop the Cliffs of Moher, Co. Clare.

The song itself, combined with the video is portraying the band missing their native Ireland and, in particular, a love interest that was left behind.[citation needed]
