Josh Garrels does not have many music videos for his songs. Whilst he shares his music online, he usually posts it with just the album artwork image rather than a music video. There are many videos of Josh Garrels performing his music live and there are a few of him performing with a band in various locations in nature. The A Long Way music video was released very recently onto his YouTube channel, receiving comments such as 'phenomenal visuals' and 'the scenery shots were breathtaking'.
The opening shots are wide establishing shots showing breathtaking views from what seems to be a car window or moving vehicle, this may be indicating a journey or adventure. We then see Josh walking along with his guitar, this is a common convention of Folk music videos as guitars are usually key instruments. A large majority of the shots in the video are in slow motion, the lip syncing is in time with the video because the original sections where sang at a faster speed, this makes the video seem more mysterious and in conforms to the spiritual vibes which are often described from Josh Garrels' music.
