The single's release was ill-timed, coming out shortly before the 9/11 Terrorist attack.
Music video
The video was released just barely before the 9/11 Terrorist attack. The imagery in the video focused around a disturbed man in a small room and the band playing in front of a backdrop which switches back and forth between a city skyline and flames, with the flames superimposed over the skyline towards the end of the video. In fear that this could be viewed as insensitive after the tragic 9/11 attacks, the music video was subsequently banned from MTV due to its depiction of falling buildings. The video can be seen as an enhanced feature on the actual single and YouTube.
