album, with the video slown down with "Find the Colour" edited into the video so it looks like they are performing a different song.
It was noted by frontman Grant Nicholas
in an interview on now-defunct TV channel The Amp
that as the video is seen in slow motion from start to end, it has done something not done by many or any music videos in the past.

.
Although this was the only single from the album not to appear in the top 20, it was noted that the single was only available on one CD format, unlike the previous singles, meaning that the sales were near to being halved, and would have possibly reached the top 20 otherwise. The following week a CD/DVD re-issue of the album charted at #45, with part of the reason being the release of this single.
