simple plan, untitled
We heard it on the radio so I guess I gave it a second thought and decided to tell you what I think of it.
It's a very, very emotional song. I think they picked it as the single to tell everyone that drinking and driving is bad.
The music video shows you what happens when you drink and drive. You can kill someone and endanger your own life too. That'll lead you to regretting about what you did. That's the way, uh huh, uh huh, SP! Description and about from Wikipedia :
"The song's official title, when the CD was released, was "Untitled", however, when it was released as a single, it was given the parenthetical, perhaps to distinguish it from other songs named "Untitled" or else for the convenience of DJ's. The song is notable as one of the group's more serious songs, and for the salient vocals and piano.
The music video tells a story of an automobile accident on a rainy night. A man, drinking alcohol while driving, inattentively drives head-on into a car driven by a woman, who dies. The man survives, relatively uninjured.
The 'hook' of the video is what happens to the victim's loved ones at the moment of impact, when they are, in the middle of everyday activities, violently thrown into walls and out windows as the two cars collide. It graphically shows that there are "more victims than people think, and many lives are changed forever", to quote Simple Plan's description:
| “ | Over the last few years, a lot of people we know have been involved in tragic accidents caused by drinking and driving. One of the students at our high-school crashed his car driving back from a weekend trip and killed his best friend. It was a very sad time that none of us will ever forget.When an accident happens, there are more victims than people think, and many lives are changed forever...Parents, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters, grandparents...everybody feels the impact.
We wanted to tell a story with this video: the story about all of the innocent victims affected by drinking and driving. |

The song has since been used in MADD anti-drunk driving campaigns."
Coooooooooool. They were freezing cold after that because they had to film it while spraying water or was it raining?
If you don't watch closely, you wouldn't know that the SP members are in it too. Chuck and David are the policemen while Jeff and Seb are the firemen.. Pierre is the guy telling the story with a very emotional face. I didn't even know the other members were in the video until I watched the making of. Cute!
Heartzz.
