## Music video

The music video for "Leben… I Feel You" was produced by Luminus Film and was shot in late 2003 on the German island of Rügen by the German director Hans Hammers Jr. II. It has a length of 3:48 minutes. The cinematographer for the video shot was Ben Wolf. The video shows Peter Heppner riding through the island on a black bicycle, and an unknown woman. The video was shot at different locations such as the seaside resort Binz, the Jasmund National Park chalk cliffs and the building complex of Prora. At the pier in Binz the words "Seebad Binz" were replaced virtually by the word "Leben" (life).

In 2022 the music video had 27 million views on the official Schiller channel on YouTube.
