The music video script is for the song "Hey Brother" by Avicii. It follows a brother and sister as they go about their separate lives before reuniting. The first half of the script shows the brother boarding a train and the sister walking away from a bus/metro stop. It then shows each walking alone down streets in their town. They eventually meet up and hug, walking together to their abandoned childhood home where they reminisce about the past. The script aims to keep their identities ambiguous and give the video a mysterious feel through the use of hoods and limited views of the characters.

1:00 – 1:30 – scene of ‘brother’
walking down a street in town, only
seeing the back of him. Showing no
identity. Hoods up to make the
video appear more mysterious.
Oh if the sky comes falling down

walking down a different street in
town, also only seeing the back of
