The '''Empty Room''' video begins where [[Video: Zannalee|Zannalee]] ends: [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] purs on his hat, indicating that he won’t be joining the twins in bed. He is pictured remembering [[Mayte]] who plays two characters in this video. She is seen wandering in a city and entering what looks like a city hall or a theatre. Dressed with an angel outfit and a crown of roses, she also contemplates herself dancing. [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] is then pictured lying in his bathtub with his pants on (recalling the lyrics of [[The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker]]). Throughout the video, he remembers [[Mayte]]’s beauty and contemplates phoning her, but he can’t seem to gather the courage. [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] is pictured writing "slave" on his face while looking in the mirror before leaving his home, symbol-shaped cane in hand. | The '''Empty Room''' video begins where [[Video: Zannalee|Zannalee]] ends: [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] purs on his hat, indicating that he won’t be joining the twins in bed.

Both performances were most likely shot in sequence. Interestingly, the video uses the original 1985 version of [[Empty Room]] and not an updated version. A live version of the song from 2002 was released as a members-only download from the [[NPG Music Club]] and included on the [[Album: C-Note|C-Note]] album in 2004. Footage from this video (of [[Mayte]] wandering, dancing and dressed as an angel and [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] in his bathroom) were included in the [[Video: The Holy River|The Holy River]] in 1996. |
