I agree, I really feel like this is 2007's "Say It Right", and definitely see it having a similar chart run lol, didn't "Say It Right" go to #1 this year? It went to #1 this year but it started off on the charts in 2006.

Something about it doesn't quite sit right with me - I'm just not keen on videos that try too hard to be 'artistic'; I love it all the same, though, great simple concept.
It's a bit late to be 'predicting' this, but this is definitely going to be the song to really sell the album. I would be shocked to my very core if this isn't the album's third UK number one, too.
Watching the video also kinda made me pissed that OneRepublic aren't the sole ones taking credit for the song.

i REALLY like the video it's pretty good and i like the whole idea...i don't like the lipsynching of the people there...it's so exaggerated(sorry i don't know the spelling).

I like the video a LOT. I'm glad they kept it simple and classy. I was worried we'd be getting close-ups of Timbaland's mouth the whole time going "eh!.... ay!"

Definitely... they wrote the song, perform the song, play the instruments for the song, and Timbo just swoops in and takes full credit fot it. I know One Republic will benefit from radio royalty money and single sales, but Timbo's reaps the benefit of album sales too. Oh well. I guess they knew what they were doing. They would haver rejected his takeover bid if it bothered them all that much.

There is a rock version of this song right? This could be a multi-format smash! We're all going to hate it by the end of the year.

That video is f**king amazing. This really should be a OneRepublic f/ Timbaland single.

Great video. Albeit a tad creepy, but it works well with the song.

I LOVE LOVE THIS SONG! This is the one and only song on the whole album I listen to.
I'd have loved a video where we actually see Ryan and the gang, you know, to get some credit, but instead, we get this cheap-assed video that was probably made in a day. Timbaland must have used all the budgedted money for videos to enlarge his already grotesquely-ginormous ass and head.
(Yes I'm bitter about him taking credit for someone else's more worthy talents, so sue me.)

The video feels very epic. It adds to the song's atmosphere.

I'm listening to the original right now and it's hot as hell. It's got all these awesome sounds in the instrumental that aren't in the Timbaland remix. This would have been a smash no matter what, I think.

That would have depended on their ability to get exposure sans Timbaland. I'm not saying it couldn't have been done, but the Timbo factor was probably a huge help.

I don't think that's the official video.. It was posted on youtube a week or two ago as a "fan-made" video...
