The music video for the song featured band members Grant Nicholas, Taka Hirose, and the late Jon Lee on a beach, implementing various methods of reeling in some girls.

However, it is only Taka that succeeds to impress. Lyrically, the song also matches the theme in its video with that being holiday romances. Nine years since the video was shot, Feeder released via their Facebook page previously unreleased behind-the-scenes footage.
The track also appeared in the game Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec.

Famous quotes containing the words the sun, days and/or sun:
“For myself I found that the occupation of a day-laborer was the most independent of any, especially as it required only thirty or forty days in a year to support one. The laborer’s day ends with the going down of the sun, and he is then free to devote himself to his chosen pursuit, independent of his labor; but his employer, who speculates from month to month, has no respite from one end of the year to the other.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The lumberers rarely trouble themselves to put out their fires, such is the dampness of the primitive forest; and this is one cause, no doubt, of the frequent fires in Maine, of which we hear so much on smoky days in Massachusetts.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Orpheus with his lute made trees
And the mountain tops that freeze
Bow themselves when he did sing.
To his music plants and flowers
Ever sprung, as sun and showers
There had made a lasting spring.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
