It does not actually rain at any point during the video. The video ends with the living room floating away. The video continues with the band being shown in a floating living room, performing the song. Healy escapes, and chases the rest of the band into a disused mining quarry. The video features the band in a rain-soaked setting, with the band having locked frontman Healy, wearing a kilt, in the trunk of a 1970s Vauxhall Viva. The pool of water that Healy (actually a stuntman) jumps into is part of a disused mining quarry known locally as "Gold Diggings" in Craddock Moor which is on the edge of Bodmin Moor. The music video was directed by John Hardwick and filmed in Cornwall, with scenes filmed on Bodmin Moor. 10 on the UK Singles Chart, and it also helped push the album The Man Who to No. Their single was released a month after Glastonbury, and it reached No. Their performance was a talking point of the festival, and their career took off afterwards. When Travis began to perform this song at the 1999 Glastonbury Festival, after being sunny for several hours, it began to rain exactly when the first line was sung, and stopped at the end of the song. "I'm being held up by invisible men" refers to people in the music industry who propped him up as well as holding him up like robbers. He had just spoken to his manager on the phone who assured him that his career is taking off, but he felt things were not working for him, and wrote the lines "I can't sleep tonight / Everybody's saying everything is alright" and "I can't stand myself" which refers to him hating himself as well as not being able to stand up. The rest of the song was written six months later in Madrid at 1 o'clock in morning. He said that the line "Is it because I lied when I was 17?" refers to the time when he lied about his age to get a job behind the bar at the biggest club in Glasgow. Healy said he wanted to write the song, and wrote the second verse starting with "Why does it always rain on you? Is it because I picked you up in '92?" but decided that it wasn't good and changed it. However, on the way to the hotel, it began to rain, which lasted until he left a week later. His accountant suggested the southern vacation city of Eilat, Israel which is known for its hot weather even during winter time. According to Healy, he wanted to go somewhere sunny in the middle of winter because in his hometown of Glasgow, Scotland, it rained frequently. Fran Healy started writing the song while on holiday in Israel.
