HOW TO DRESS WELL appears as a crooning service station worker in this official video for 'Repeat Pleasure', part one of the 'What Is This Heart?' trilogy. The sweet vocals mixed with funk filled bass lines are the backdrop for a somewhat dark film clip.

The young male protagonist is conflicted and distressed as he receives a phone call and rushes to the obscenely lit halls of a hospital to see his obviously ill Grandfather. His compassion touches the young nurse as the clip switches frames to see her lounging around in the man's home in the desert. This beautiful imagery bodes well with the longing of the track.

The protagonist and the nurse's love slowly blooms under a cloud of grief and earnest. They band together in a Bonnie and Clyde fashion and remove his Grandfather from the hospital where the man is slowly deteriorating. As they drive all night into the clouded sunrise, they realise that the old man has passed away, leaving them with anger and each other.

The themes of loss, love, and landscape make for a beautiful first part of the trilogy from How To Dress Well. Although the clip may be confronting at times, it holds the key to the lock to everyone's hearts by providing raw emotion with stunning music accompaniment.
