Video
In an interview with Drum Media lead singer Ben King mentioned they shot a music video for the new version of the song in the Californian desert about hours out of LA. However, when the final product was revealed it turned out to be a video featuring the band against a white backdrop with coloured lines, shapes and such with no traces of the Californian desert whatsoever. The video uses many special effects including film grains and transparency to give it an almost '80s feel. Whilst the video has been hailed by the band, it has also received criticism from their fans.
They never made a clip for the original version of the song when it was released as the band's debut single in Australia on the Lovers le Strange EP in 2005.

Famous quotes containing the word video:
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
“I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“These people figured video was the Lord’s preferred means of communicating, the screen itself a kind of perpetually burning bush. “He’s in the de-tails,” Sublett had said once. “You gotta watch for Him close.””
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
