specifically, the video.

the most awestruck I've been by a music video in a while.

one of the more surface level details is that he goes through exactly as many doors in that video as there were years in their relationship. another is that almost every character in the video that isn't Thom is a mother or child. The only words he mouths in the video are "beyond me, beyond you" and the reverse vocals at the end that say "half of my life" among other things. He is always walking forwards or upwards.
