The video features many locals of the town and places like 'Aladdins cave' and 'New Ross Crystal'.

Reception

Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:

Little more than strings, drums and an electric organ play out over Sabre's self-penned words about remembering the good ol' days. "I need blue skies/ I need them old times/ I need something good," he rap-sings is his inimitable twang on a gravelly chorus that burrows deeper into your brain with each listen. Don't worry mate, we have a sneaking suspicion that things will pick up again very soon. .[2]
