The video was shot at the legendary performance art space The Kitchen in New York City, where Ambro, Wakeman and bandmate Ian Douglas-Moore all sometimes work. About the video Gold Dime's Andrya Ambro says, 'Sometimes we better understand the past if we just talk to it. So this is just the rhetorical me talking to the past through Hindsight personified. Also I think I had The Velvet Underground's 'Hey Mr. Rain' rattling around in my head when this all went down. There is a 'Hindsight' first edition on Gold Dime's debut album Nerves. It's basically the haiku version of 'Hindsight II,' only on piano and much more austere.'
