It was released in December 2001 as the second single from the band's debut album, Melody A.M..
It is used in the sixth-generation video game SSX 3 as well as in The Drop, a short film displayed on the canopy at the Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Directed by Sam Arthur,[1] the music video revolves around a creature resembling a small man or boy in a bear suit, and unveils a story of the creature being tracked and captured from its natural habitat, to end up being caged in a zoo, longing to escape.
Additionally, video footage of snowy mountains were sampled from the film adaptation of The Witches, a book by Roald Dahl.
Because the lyrics include the words 'being 9 years old', the bearman in the clip can be taken to be dressed up boy or small man.
