Music video for the track ‘Crawl’ from the 2007 album ‘Reasons For Voyaging’ by the pop rock band Atlas.

In a fountain square in a high-rise city, people inexplicably collapse to the ground. Only two people (band vocalists Sean Cunningham and Beth Cunningham) regain consciousness, as they sing, they drag themselves along the ground. A group of bystanders (including other members of the band) happen upon the scene, they attempt to do something to help and with a rope tied around him one approaches the square only to collapse as well. His friends pull him back and he regains consciousness. The unconscious people momentarily disappear and then wake up seemingly oblivious to the phenomenon, while some people in haz-mat suits monitor the area, two men in black arrive.
The video has a saturated visual look with dark vignetting and a greenish tint.

‘Crawl’ was New Zealand's highest selling single of 2007, topping local charts for nine weeks.
