Music video

The song's music video was directed by Hong Kong director
Wong Kar-wai
. It features actor
Chang Chen
and Malaysian model Danielle Graham.
Shadow approached Wong Kar-wai, one of his favorite directors, in an attempt to create a music video unlike his previous ones. Wong also happened to be a fan of Shadow's music and accepted. The idea was to make a short film revolving around the song's hook line: "Tomorrow never comes until it's too late..."
The plot is centered on a man (Chang) who, upon discovering his girlfriend (Graham) has cheated on him, tries to destroy all traces of their relationship, eventually realizing that this is futile, as what has happened cannot be undone. The video was shot by famed cinematographer
Christopher Doyle
, who has worked on most of Wong's films and has also shot films by directors
Gus Van Sant
,
Barry Levinson
and
Phillip Noyce
. It contains numerous instances of the number 426, a reference
