Video
Director: Nick Wickham
In January 2001, the video for "Give Me A Reason" was shot in a studio in London, though the exterior shots are conveying that the house actually is somewhere in Colorado.
A Danish politician called Tom Enright chastised this video for "setting a wrong example for the youth" because of the scene where Jim throws a chair through a window (actually, no one knows why exactly he does that).
Trivia
"Give Me A Reason" was described as "Simon and Garfunkel meets William Orbit" by Jim who wrote the song together with Andrea. It was later remixed by Cutfather & Joe for the single release.
It is also the song from which "In Blue"'s title is taken from: "It's not romantic here in blue...".
The last line which is "What did I do wrong?" is printed as "I did it too long" in the booklet.
At about 2:29, Andrea sings some incomprehensible words. When these lines are reversed, the words "Body is weak, My body is weak" can be heard.
