Music video

The video was directed by Russel Thomas and Steve Jones on 18 December 1999. The live footage is taken from a show which took place at the Bayfront Amphitheratre in Miami, Florida on 18 December, while the sections of the video with the band playing on a dark stage were filmed in a London studio. The song was actually played twice at the Miami show.[1]

Commercial performance

Although the song was not as successful as the other singles from "The Science of Things", only managing to reach #38 on the U.S. Alternative Songs chart and #16 on the U.S. Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, the song became the band's third most successful song in their native Britain (behind Swallowed and Greedy Fly) reaching #45 on the UK Singles Chart.

gollark: *Two* emitters? Hmm.
gollark: As I said, why even bother with having a humanoid at that point? The only thing it needs is the emitter unit.
gollark: Just... have an AI generate holographic weapons on demand. Holographically generate knives directly in people or something. Holographically generate a giant wall on demand.
gollark: Not really. Why even bother making it human-shaped or whatever?
gollark: What happens if you *eat* a solid hologram?
