A comedic music video from Hamell on Trial, the musical alias of Austin folk punk musician Ed Hamell, and director Mike Henry. A tale of unrequited love told by a sock puppet, whose lovesick narrator decides his only hope of winning back a lost love is to borrow a more beautiful voice than his own. He couldn't get the real Adele for the video, so he made one out of a sock.
