In an October 2003 interview with Songfacts, Alexakis said about "Wonderful": I was a child of a broken marriage, my daughter was the child of a broken marriage, and it was hard to watch it happen to her.

[1]The music video, directed by Alexakis,[2] follows two children's stories interlaced with the band singing.

The children are shown happy initially but as time passes their parents fight and eventually break up.

The two kids the video is about are split into two people, with each one going a different directions assumingly toward each divorced parent.

It has also been featured in the movies Pay It Forward, 40 Days and 40 Nights, Cheats, and Saving Silverman.
