Music video

The music video for the remix of "Waves" was shot in Tulum, Mexico and released on 3 February 2014;[6] another identical version was uploaded by Ultra Music the following day.[7] Belarusian model Maryna Linchuk and British model James Penfold star in the video as a couple. The video begins with Penfold swimming towards a desert island whilst lying on a surfboard. After reaching the shore and knocking some coconuts down from a tree, he recounts a time when he and his girlfriend were on holiday together. They are shown to get on very well at first, but then have several arguments, and this culminates in them breaking up one evening. The scene switches to Penfold sitting in a jacuzzi and drinking several shots of vodka, and he then collapses back-first into the jacuzzi. The video ends with Penfold lying in the middle of the ocean, again on his surfboard. Whether or not he is alive is left to the imagination.[8] The video has over 200 million views of as of January 2016.[6]
