Green Grass of Tunnel

"Green Grass of Tunnel" is a song by Icelandic band Múm. It was released as a single from their 2002 album Finally We Are No One, on FatCat Records on 29 April 2002. It peaked at number 90 on the UK Singles Chart. Pitchfork listed it 484th on its countdown of the Top 500 tracks of the 2000s.

Music video

The music video was created in computer graphics by Semiconductor's Joe Gerhardt and Ruth Jarman. It follows the view of a flock of birds, and presents a lighthouse, presumably very similar to the house in which they stayed. Brad Osborn has noted how the craggy, icy peaks depicted in the video are linked to the pentatonic leaps in the lead vocal melody, and also to the cold, metallic timbres used in the recording.
