No, it's really not... I like the Open Your Eyes video, but I think this one is really poor!

In the OYE video there's lots of cool effects, a cooler environment to play in and 4 guys to film. In TGD video it's just Scott to film, the environment is pretty dark and boring and I don't think it has that much to do with the meaning of the song. PLUS all those light effects are really annoying.

I think this song might work pretty well on the radio, but it will get very few airplays on TV. First of all rock videos don't get too much airplays, if you compare to rap and R&N. Second of all it's just not good/cool enough. Pretty low budget. OYE was also pretty low budget, but I think that one was real cool. And well, the whole material is way too Christian to be played on MTV.
