Synopsis

The video places Counting Crows on the Coney Island boardwalk, where the band performs amid the amusement rides and seaside streets. Vanessa Carlton appears separately, walking through nearby neighborhood locations and singing along to the track. A yellow taxi moves through the area as several people encounter fleeting visions of relationships and friendships they have lost. The bright, summery setting contrasts with the song's wistful message about separation, memory, and the changes brought by modern development.

Factoids & Trivia

• The song was originally recorded as a hidden track on Counting Crows' 2002 album "Hard Candy." The initial version did not feature Vanessa Carlton.

• Producer Ron Fair created the remix that became the commercially released version. Carlton added her vocals after the song was selected for the film "Two Weeks Notice."

• Counting Crows and Carlton did not record their parts together, and the video presents them in separate settings rather than as a jointly performing act.

• The video was filmed on Coney Island in Brooklyn and in nearby Bensonhurst.

• The cover changes Joni Mitchell's lyric about a taxi taking away "my old man" to one about the taxi taking away "my girl."

• The song was released as a single in late 2002 and became closely associated with the 2003 promotional campaign for "Two Weeks Notice."
