I’m not usually much of an ‘Enigma’ fan, but I heard and saw the following out of the blue, and I think the video works perfectly with the lyrics and music. It has a plaintive core, strands of the stranded woven within. It’s really more of a short animated film than your usual music video, hence finding myself watching the whole caboodle to the end.
Esme's Cloud 
But what does it all mean . . . 😕 I like the emphasis on the 3rd. crochet — reminds me of Bucks Fizz, the good old days. And my, what teeth our space cadet has! Nice groove; more reverb than Phil bloody Spector! Check ignition and may God’s love be with you, Esme. H ❤

laughs a lot. May as well be poetry I’ve written eh? And in a way it is — poetry that this (not Esme’s); it’s about ‘missing’. Missing people, missing love, in his case missing planet Earth, missing life too, ultimately though missing one person it feels like to me. Don’t over-think it H, the emotion within is very simple – smiles

Ah, that explains why he sings “Where are you?” over and over and over and over. 🙄

Well you did ask. It isn’t Esme’s fault if it went completely over your head.
You’ll be asking me where the ‘quiddity’ is in it next.

I know. I should not jest on the matter, you’re a living medical marvel really. Being 420 years old myself – I empathise.

This is really good! I love the lyrics as well along with the videography and special-effects! Thank you Esme for sharing. I am an Enigma fan for most of their music is very specific particular “atmospheres”.

Always happy to oblige sir. – smiles whilst chewin’ a piece of corn, and flickin’ a dime up and down with her thumb.
(That was a dime Esme was flicking before anyone gets over excited and substituting words)
But enough jibber, good to hear you enjoyed it Prof, I’m tricky to please at times with music, but I think the blend there worked really well.
Esme waving and pleased to see him return to the Cloud despite the punching business. Hahahaha.

I like it. And so did my Siamese. He’s a great one for watching iPad videos. I may even consider that he liked the music.

Very discerning creature are Siamese felines, good on him. And you too Spiders, thanks for stopping by and giving the video the time.
