Music video

The video, directed by Lisa Mann, premiered on Yahoo! Music on July 10, 2007. It shows the band playing in a dark abandoned wasteland. However, as the song continues, an orange rain starts and makes the sky above bright for people who live in the gloomy world, bringing life into something that was once desolate and dark.
