[edit] Music video

The music video for "Sunburn" depicts a young Brooke Kinsella—who later rose to fame as an actress on EastEnders—babysitting a young boy until she heads upstairs to investigate something. Entering a bedroom, she enters a wardrobe for a few minutes and begins to steal jewellery before Matthew Bellamy and Christopher Wolstenholme appear in the mirrors on the doors either side of her. Before she can see them, they quickly disappear. Standing in front of a giant mirror, she's shocked when Bellamy, Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard emerge. The young woman struggles to cope with seeing them perform in the mirror, throws an object at the mirror, smashing it. The young boy enters, he sees the room in a mess and then looks behind him. In the mirror, Muse have strangely vanished and in their place is the girl.
