Dawn on the white Metropolis. The camera floats above the fog. At the same moment, Mick Strauss, the rock singer, makes a puppet, an avatar of himself : a solitary heart with frozen hands. The puppet escapes top the metropolis. After a chase between the creator and his effigy, the Metropolis begins to melt and at the end, holds the maker in a grave under the ice.
The video was made with wax models made by students of the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris France built as part of Stephan Zimmerli's Workshop with Juliette Terreaux.

LYRICS :
He wants to run to the big dark wood
He's a lonely boy with frozen hands
He looks for love like the crush of the flood
He's a spiritual boy with golden ways
(watch out)
He sips his punch at the gates of love
He’s a trouble boy with frozen hands
He tries to love in the big dark woods
He's a special boy with golden ways
At night when it hurts he drinks that mountain gin
And he sings to himself tragic and beautiful hymns
about loosing your faith
about feeling unsafe
about loosing your faith
about being in a strange place
Quicksands are here you know
There are moments when he's low
He's a lonely boy with frozen hands
And he's lost his god
Don't believe anymore
He's a spiritual boy with golden ways
He looks for love like the crush of the flood
He's a spiritual boy with frozen hands
At night when it hurts he drinks that mountain gin
And he sings to himself tragic and beautiful hymns
about loosing your faith
about feeling unsafe
about loosing your faith
about, about feeling unsafe
He’s a lonely boy going to strange places
With a funny fate
With a funny face
With a lonely mind
Ì bet alot of you are lonely out there
Can you relate to the boy with frozen hands
It’s like is walking
It’s like is running on a
on an ice lake
And the ice is gonna break
At night when it hurts he sings those desert hymns
Just for himself, and nobody else
He’s a lonely boy
Listen to the ice break
