[edit] Music video
The video for "Same Mistake" was filmed in Toronto, Canada on October 5, 2007. It was directed by Jonas Åkerlund, who is well known for his work with artists such as Madonna and Christina Aguilera. The video uses an unusual filming technique, where the camera is attached to a frame worn on Blunt's upper torso and is focused on his face throughout the entire video. It was released on November 1, 2007 on the website of The Sun, a British tabloid-style newspaper, and on MSN.
The camera "follows" Blunt through a day in his life, from awakening with a beautiful young woman beside him, through his morning ablutions and breakfast, strolling his neighbourhood, meeting up with friends, and eventually arriving at a club. At the club, Blunt becomes the focus of attention of numerous women, although his reaction appears to be zombie-like. Eventually he leaves the club, and returns home with one of the women. They make love, although Blunt appears detached and bored. The video ends with Blunt singing "where did I go wrong?" and falling asleep.
