The new music video for Jeff Buckley's cover of Bob Dylan's "Just Like a Woman" is like one of those old choose-your-own-adventure books from the '80s -- but this time, it's a love story that's in your hands. 

Created with interactive media company Interlude in collaboration with Blind design studios, the animated clip allows you to explore the various phases of a single love story -- the honeymoon phase, the heartbreak, the breakup, the reunion. 

You can click on 73 different story cells to change the narrative, and there are around 1 sexdecillion ways that the story could play out, according to the video's creators. For the record, that's a "one" with 51 zeros after it.

You can control the narrative musically as well. The video starts with just Buckley's voice accompanied by a guitar -- but from there, it can go in several different directions. A piano, a full orchestration and a choir can join in, depending on your choices. In fact, there are over 16,000 different music combinations possible -- so good luck listening to it the same way twice. 

“The goal of this video is for both existing and new fans to enjoy many ways of experiencing the music, and for each individual audience member to return over and over to be involved with the emotion differently each time,” said Yoni Bloch, Interlude CEO and co- founder.


"Just Like a Woman" appears on You and I, a compilation album of 10 of Buckley's first studio recordings for Columbia Records. The album also includes a cover of The Smiths' "I Know It’s Over," Led Zeppelin's "Night Flight" and Sly & the Family Stone's "Everyday People."

"Jeff Buckley fans have always felt a strong personal connection with his music, which should be especially true with the incredibly intimate recordings on You and I," Legacy Recordings president Adam Block.

"We hope this video will be a moving way to extend that personal connection by allowing people to express themselves and how the song makes them feel in almost endless ways.”
