Dugmor,
I like this one, I think the JRN filming/editing skills have grown a little since the last video. This one looked much more professional.

The video itself - I don't get it. Is he dead? Did they used to be lovers? Is it a funeral home at the end? Why is he keeping in touch with her?
Little things can add to the understanding of a video - like if they were lovers, you could show a picture of the two of them together on her desk at work (pan past her to the picture; even if it's "been so long" that there's a pile of papers in front of it or if it's just one of many papers/pictures pinned to her cubicle wall).

I agree that the scenes are a bit too long. You don't *always* have to be showing the singer when there are lyrics going. We've seen him sing "I will always, always keep in touch with you" 20 times by the time we're two minutes into the video (or so it seems)... you could use those chorus repeats to add in additional footage that would make the storyline a bit clearer.

I think you make GREAT use of lighting and color/bw in this one.

And I also *love* the song, too bad you don't know where to get the CD.
