==Music videos==
[[Category:2004 singles]]▼
There are two music videos for this song. The first video starts off with clips of Feist in what appear to be canyons or some sort of mountainous region at sunset with clouds swirling around her. Scenes of Feist singing, as well as walking through a meadow, are shown. Then snowflake designs appear everywhere and they are removed to reveal the clouds, still at sunset. The last scenes are that of Feist dancing with her scarf, and the video ends.

The second video starts off with scenes of her bare feet in a town (which is not [[Mushaboom, Nova Scotia]] but [[Prague, Czech Republic]]),<ref name="mushaboom">Jason Pirodsky, [http://www.expats.cz/prague/article/music/50-music-videos-shot-in-prague/ 50 Music Videos Shot in Prague], Expats.cz, July 24, 2014</ref> with people sitting around on top of cars and walking about in the street. The camera moves upwards through the window of an apartment, where Feist is shown sleeping. After putting some bread in a toaster, she goes to the mirror and draws a necklace on herself before realizing her toast is flying off. She chases the toast out of the window and glides through the sky, where a crowd is beginning to gather in the streets to watch her. She grabs a nearby man's acoustic guitar and begins to play, floating up into the sky again as the crowd starts to dance all around her. One woman in a pink shirt ([[Peaches (musician)|Peaches]])<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/07/AR2007060700648.html |title=Feist: In High Spirits |access-date=2009-07-04 |newspaper=The Washington Post | first=Richard | last=Harrington | date=June 8, 2007}}</ref> attempts to pull her back down, but she keeps floating back up; this repeats until finally Feist lets go of the guitar and it floats away.
She dances with a man and then the rest of the crowd before running off, and enters a black rectangular box standing up. However, she is shown getting out of a white box before running toward a carousel and hopping onto a white horse that immediately becomes alive. It cuts to her riding the horse in the street, with the crowd following her (Peaches is among them, holding a devil's spear). Feist rides through an intersection and the crowd splits up in two different directions. Then the sky darkens, and Feist flies back into her window. The flying toast ducks back into the toaster as she heads through the apartment toward her bedroom. She falls into her mattress as a plant inside the room reaches into the lampshade and turns off the light.
This video was directed by Patrick Daughters.
