Released as a single in April 2001, it gave the band their first top-40 hit in their home country, peaking at number 22 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The music video, directed by Dave Meyers, was filmed on Lake Pickett surrounded by CGI factories and power plants near Orlando, Florida.

The video starts out with Dave Matthews playing an acoustic guitar on a cloudy day on the dock of the pond.

After the verse "We're strange allies with warring hearts, what a wild-eyed beast you be," the song enters the rising action stage.

Following the stopping of the drums, the rain goes away, and again it's just Matthews singing on the dock, this time it's a clear night with a full moon.
