Music video
The music video was directed by Mark Staubach and premiered on 19 September 2011. It was filmed in the desert of California. The clip opens with a message that read, "Being human is the most terrible loneliness in the universe" and continues to show a lone man exploring an empty space. He keeps looking around and around for something, or rather someone, to fill a void in his heart. The female lead for the clip is Caitlin O'Connor, a model/actress, who has previously played in music videos for Michael Bubl and New Found Glory.
The song was nominated in the category Best International Video by a Canadian band to 2012 MuchMusic Video Awards.[http://mmva.muchmusic.com/nominees MMVA 2012 Nominees]. MuchMusic. Retrieved July 21, 2012.
In the video, the man, played by Nick Gamez, is seen with a name tag that says P. Cunningham. The same name was used for the drunk driver in the music video for "Untitled".
