Reception
Alistair Lawrence of BBC Music called the track "nothing more than a custom-built acoustic ballad, but ensures their fans go home having heard something new".
Music video
The video was posted on Within Temptation's official YouTube page on 28 September 2009. It is directed by Oscar Verpoort. The video shows a man walking around a city witnessing various people committing crimes, such as a man stealing a blind woman's wallet and a prostitute being picked up by an older man. He saves a child from almost being hit by a car when his mother wasn't paying attention to what he was doing. As the boy looks back, there is nobody there, suggesting that the man was an angel-like apparition. The band is also seen performing in a run down building.
