Music video
The official music video was released on August 25, 2009. It features the band singing at night, on a wheat field, while illustrating the story of a man kidnapped in a speeding Crown Victoria, who tries to escape. The video has two alternate endings, both starting out when the man takes control of the driver's seat and remove a brick from the gas pedal, slowing the car down. A note found on the brick reads "Croatoan." One ending features an extremely brief shot of the man looking up in shock as the car explodes. The second ending features the man safely running out of the car, followed by the explosion.
The band has stated in multiple interviews that they had no involvement in the video's development and do not understand the video's meaning, assuming there is one.
The video was inspired from the short film "Lucky" by Nash Edgerton. [5]
