Synopsis

Face to Face perform "Disconnected" in a stark, desolate setting, with the band presented through energetic playing, tight close-ups, and quick-cut editing. The stripped-down visual approach keeps attention on the group's urgency and the song's themes of uncertainty, mistrust, and emotional distance. Rather than following a conventional narrative, the video works as a direct performance document, using the empty surroundings and restless camerawork to reinforce the feeling of isolation at the heart of the song.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video is generally dated to 1993, although "Disconnected" later became closely associated with the band's 1995 album *Big Choice*.
  • "Disconnected" exists in three notable studio versions: the original recording from *Don't Turn Away*, a remixed version on the 1994 *Over It* EP, and a new recording made for *Big Choice*.
  • The song's radio exposure began with the *Over It* version, which received important airplay from Los Angeles station KROQ-FM.
  • The band was initially reluctant to record "Disconnected" again for *Big Choice*. The album includes an intentionally humorous spoken track about the debate, including concerns that releasing another version could make the group look like sellouts.
  • The song reached No. 39 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart in 1995.
  • "Disconnected" also appeared in the soundtracks to *Tank Girl* and *National Lampoon's Senior Trip* in 1995.
  • The video was later included in the band's 1999 compilation video *The First Seven Years*.

Lyrics

You don't know a thing about me
Is there something that you should know?
I can tell you what you want to hear
Let your inhibitions just go

No you don't know what you will give up
You don't know what you want
It may take you years to find out
You don't know what you need
It's something that may never come to you

Trust is something that comes easy
Whan you've never been a victim
