Clearly shot in a studio, but designed to convey visual interest and the quirk factor that indie pop band Frente! offered. Around 5:58 I strongly suspect footage is played in reverse to achieve the leaves falling upwards effect - look at guitarist's hands, it doesn't look right. Ethereal vocals & poppy music, contrasting with the dominance of grunge.
Peaked at number three on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart in 1992. The song won the Breakthrough Artist Single category at the ARIA Music Awards of 1993 and was included in the band's first full-length album 'Marvin the Album' (https://www.collection.nfsa.gov.au/title/313957).
