He came back for an encore!”
The video opens to show Thorn playing his banjo while standing against the picturesque backdrop of mountains. Within moments, a wild fox appears and sits in front of him. The artist plays a beautiful tune and serenades the animal for some time before it goes away. That, however, is not everything that the video shows. The fox quickly comes back and sits in front of Thorn as if urging him to play some more music. Momentarily, surprised by the incident, he stops playing but soon picks up the banjo and carries on entertaining the fox.
