Music video

The music video was directed by Deaton-Flanigen and premiered in August 2004. It was filmed in Asbury Park, NJ. It features the trio performing the song on the boardwalk, outside the Monmouth County Prison, and inside Boardwalk Hall accompanied by a string section. In between these scenes, shots of a photographer dressed in all black and a top hat is seen delivering pictures to several depressed people on the dried up, empty boardwalk. At the end of the video, the people open the photo envelopes, and see photos of them with their families, instantly cheering them up. The photographer then simply walks away.
