The tune's fine all right. It has a nice little energy and feel. What's amazing is how boring the video is – with some gorgeous black and white shots here and there. The little energy the track has, the video drains out totally. The singer looks bored. The gorgeous girl looks bored too. The effects are totally over the top and feel totally random. Seems that the filmmakers were simply looking for the wow effects at all cost, which is a terrible way of approaching anything. Just a perfect example of an overly-produced, soulless video that makes no sense. The track deserved something fun, lighthearted and life-like.

Every singer in every music video of all time (excluding hip-hop) looks bored. This is the classic cliche, kind of like band promo photos. That didn't bother me. I guess you could say it was overproduced, but in that regard, it did give the video a clean asthetic. Kind of the gentrification of a music video but overall it didn't bother me.

Actually, I rather liked it. The After Effects-y stuff didn't seem out of place with the rolling tune. I probably wouldn't have noticed the bored thing had you not mentioned it.

If I could find it, I'd juxtapose this with Cracker "Nothing to Believe In" (Sam Bayer), to question the animation vs. raw film aesthetic.

i think it's grest. i think the whole bored thing works with the lyrics. it's about going nowhere in life, caught up in a rat race. i don't think there should be too much exitment in the characters. also, it's WAY better than a bunch of guys pretending to paly intstruments. any video that tries to tell a story gets my vote! also, it looks way different than most videos. pretty ambitious for a canadian video.

I thought the video was incredible. The wonderful computer animated effects and black and white video bring everything together and gives it a very clean, finished product. The video matches the lyrics perfectly, implying that this guy's life has become totally mundane and he's fallen into the hell of the corporate world. I wish it didn't reflect 98.78 percent of the population, but that's what makes it so poignant. The ending, with modern civilization disappearing, is a fantastic and optimistic finale. I love watching this video.
