[edit] The video

The video was released just barely before the 9/11 Terrorist attack. The imagery in the video focused around a disturbed man in a small room and the band playing in front of a backdrop which switches back and forth between a city skyline and flames, with the flames superimposed over the skyline towards the end of the video. In fear that this could be viewed as insensitive during the 9/11 attacks, the video was permanently pulled from video rotation. The video can be seen as an enhanced feature on the actual single (and on youtube).
