Hellberg x Aloe Blacc

Following the lyrics, the concept for the music video for "Punching in the dark" is a runaway road trip story of the artist and his female film partner around Los Angeles, California. Their ups and downs ("Whenever we tried to find the love that we lost, it's like running under water") culminate in the video's climax in her abandoning him and escaping alone.
