As a child , LaChapelle made frequent visits to a retirement community where his mother worked as a nurse . He directly took the inspiration for the video 's concept from a nightmare in which he found himself elderly , confined to a wheelchair , and left in a hallway with many other senior citizens , unable to move . LaChapelle interpreted the song as sounding " like someone at the end of their life , reconciling with being at the end of their life " and felt that the retirement home concept suited the video . He added : " I was thinking that you can have this fabulous life , young and having fun , and in 60 years , who the hell knows where we could be ? We could all be forgotten , warehoused somewhere . " Extensive make-up was used on Moby to give him his elderly appearance in the video . The video later won the award for Best Video at the 2000 MTV Europe Music Awards , while also receiving a nomination for Best International Video at the 2000 MuchMusic Video Awards
