Yes, it does.  I don't like it, either.  It's very dark, and feels full of
despair and melancholy.  True, the song is pretty heavy, and is about being
on the "outside" of a wondrous occurrence, but to me the video has more of a
dry, detached sorrow than the wet, teary, painful, GIVE ME THESE MOMENTS
BACK anguish that I get from the song.  But that's just my interpretation;
I'm not too objective because I want to cry just thinking about it.

But if you catch sight of the video, you'll know it by its shadowy cuts from
one image to another.  Interesting stuff, despite my lack of empathy with
it.
