Music video
Directed by Dean Karr, the video starts with Mraz, his band, and a wizard (who magically plays the guitar) all playing their instruments in a field. He is then seen sitting on fallen tree playing his guitar. While he is playing his guitar an old man can be seen walking by who cannot stand listening to the music he is playing. The old man then begins the process of stoning him to try to get him to stop. Throughout the video more and more people gather to continue stoning him. The wizard, who is playing the guitar, is actually Mraz himself dressed as the wizard. The video then continues to show all of the previous shots. It ends with him extremely injured from being stoned and then fades to black.
