[edit] Music video
The music video, directed by Garth Jennings, depicts the band performing the song in a small white room, with them simulating winter and underwater scenes during the performance. The Video has been sped up so that they band members move twice as fast, however the band still sings and plays their instruments in time with the music. The video made its worldwide premiere on January 7, 2008 on MTV 2.[3]
