Listened to this song when I was 15, now I am 25, I am back 10 years later, as a whole new person haha. Just goes to show how good this song is and how it has impacted me during my teen years. I was a clueless, lost, unmotivated teen back then, super depressed, this song taught me to live my life to the fullest. I am so glad I am doing so much better and happier :)

The song was shot in one single take from one run through of the song, like a live concert. It was originally going to be one single long SHOT followed by some shorter shots at the end, but we decided to break it up to help transition between our set pieces, because we had a lot of ground to cover. I was one of the camera operators and we practiced about 40 takes over a 2 day period and then the last take was the live one. Personally, one of my favorite takes was one of the 40 earlier ones :)

The moment I heard the lyrics " if you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born
Then it's time to go", I was hooked. Ever since, this song has become one of the most personal songs to me, because this is exactly how I felt like, even in my own city. I was jaded, everything felt like a routine, and I just wanted to get out. I remember being able to really understand this when I was on a boat in Thailand, sailing from one island to the other, I then realized that the world is so vast and mysterious. I then knew I wanted to just go out there and discover it.

I think music critics often tend to make things more complicated than they actually are in order to detach themselves from the mass and establish as a cultural elite. The thing is, when you have a pop rock song that manages to strike such a perfect balance between accessible and articulate, you have a masterpiece. Things are really that simple sometimes
