Music video
The video clip of this song was filmed around the Southern Highlands in New South Wales. It features a schoolgirl named Sarah living in the year 1976. One day while travelling to school by bus, Sarah notices a young man walking near the road. Desperately, she decides to skip school and have her own freedom including writing her name in a local toilet, rowing a boat, drawing a picture and walking around the streets in her local town. Unfortunately, Sarah's chance of freedom was cut short when her mum caught her in a library. At the end, Sarah is back in uniform the next day and waits for a bus to get to school.

General Commentthis song means heaps to me.when i first changed schools, a guy befriended me from my class and when we got closer he dedicated this song to me when i was upset about leaving my old friendsBut id like to say a comment to Sambanova and i was disgusted at his concert. We managed to get front row and he was the sleazy singer ever.
Smash cars auction. My gf laughed their heads off when he kepd WINKING at me. We got backstage and he smoked pot the whole time and was just a typical pig. But i still love this song.
Too bad he got so up himself!
