Music video

    An official music video for “Budapest” was first released onto YouTube on 21 April 2014 at a total length of three minutes and thirty-six seconds. It consists of a large crowd of people all with different styles and accessories all standing motionless together in a tight-knit crowd, occasionally being intercut with footage of one of them doing something minor like shifting slightly where they stand, one of them sneezing gaining the attention of everyone around and George playing his guitar and singing to the camera with a smile. As the video goes on, the people start to move and interact by passing their accessories around, a group of 3 young men having one of them bite into a very spicy chilli pepper, a hen party attendee in a sash and tiara talking on the phone to someone, the crowd looking up together and putting on 3-D glasses, all intercut with George crowd-surfing them and playing and singing to the camera again.

    As the video starts to come to an end, George begins to crowd-surf standing up instead, taking off his guitar and passing it down to join all the other accessories being passed around, this time with people interacting more and dancing together. The video ending with George singing with his guitar standing in the crowd which is now motionless again, when the song ends he simply stops and becomes motionless too. In a small epilogue, some members of the crowd are all on the floor silently cheering, laughing and clapping together.
