They smile, they laugh, they take a nap, they run with wolves — just enjoying the simple things in life, just as the languidly beautiful song instructs. The track was originally featured on the soundtrack to HBO’s _Girls —_ after the show’s creator Lena Dunham [reportedly asked](//pitchfork.com/news/53530-hbos-girls-to-feature-new-music-from-miguel-beck-lily-allen-jenny-lewis/ "undefined"), “Can we just call him and see if he’ll do something?” — but it’s the star of another HBO show who makes a cameo appearance — Grey Wind, the dire wolf raised by Robb Stark of _Game of Thrones_ fame. The Grammy-winning singer has been working on his third studio album with help from Passion Pit members [DJ Premier](http://instagram.com/p/nHEfGZC15e/ "undefined") and [Michael Angelakos](http://instagram.com/p/nzMz3di1wZ/ "undefined"). The still-untitled album, which [reportedly](http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/5908484/miguel-has-a-very-clear-goal-for-next-album "undefined") includes collaborations with J.Cole and Jessie Ware, is due out this fall. **MORE**: [Here Are 14 Songs Battling It Out For the Song of the Summer in 2014](http://time.com/119285/song-of-the-summer-2014/ "undefined") **MORE**: [Find Out What Song Was (Probably) Playing When You Were Conceived](http://time.com/120613/what-song-was-playing-when-you-were-conceived/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/136926/miguel-simplethings-video-gigi-hadid/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/136926/miguel-simplethings-video-gigi-hadid/"},"headline":"VIDEO: Watch Miguel's Beautiful Clip for \"Simplethings\"","datePublished":"2014-05-29T21:00:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T07:41:03.149Z","description":"Wolves: they make everything better","url":"https://time.com/136926/miguel-simplethings-video-gigi-hadid/","keywords":["Music","Videos","Music videos"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/136926/miguel-simplethings-video-gigi-hadid/","name":"VIDEO: Watch Miguel's Beautiful Clip for \"Simplethings\""}}]}] ```
