What I love was the natural-ness of it all. Everyone seemed so comfortable. I wish they had shown Matt more, but hey, maybe he declined certain aspects, we dunno. They seem so homey and good natured here and ready for kids . I think the boys would probably make pretty great dads. Of course its only based on what I have seen etc... but come on, look at the proof here All in all, I really really loved this video and the song. I think the gospel choir was wonderful (could soften it a lil so we can hear Caleb a lil more) but such great work nonetheless.

thanks, jfer32075. Karma. Now that I listened to the version without the choir I like it better and it makes me even more anxious for the album. There's something different about Caleb's voice, but I can't really put my finger on it. I liked the song, but I still prefer the live version of it. The video. I only watched it once. I liked the photography. That's all.

I think it's an ok song but it 's not too far away from OBTN if you ask me. I hope the record won't be so overproduced. regarding the video....I hate it . it's not that far away from a boyband's video FFS. plus , I'm a huge Caleb girl , but why Matt is almost never shown?? they show a lot of Caleb and Jared ( running with a kite??? ) and a little Nathan but almost no Matt. We get to see just the pretty faces ? this is a rock band , I want to see them all . ok , rant over

Who is doing the background "ooooooOOOOOOooooo"? That might be my favorite part.

I have mixed feelings about that video, I do like it because it looks like it was a fun day, it wouldnt have been out of place in a home movie video, but at the same time I cant help finding it quite cheesy, and I do love a bit of cheese normally, I mean, I love ABBA and a whole lot of embarrassing 80's bands you would probably frown upon, I cant help finding it a bit, ok terribly contrived and I dont want to see all the OBTN haters turning up and say 'see, I told you so'. I am not normally a video type of person, but they are usually a representation of the artist's music, if you see what I mean.
I wish I totally disliked it or totally loved it, at least I would know where to stand. But I do really like the song, so I guess all is not lost. I think I like the video more than I dislike it, if that makes sense

@ Erin they are pretty , but it looks to me a lot of the girls are after Caleb and Jared, just from the amount of people I know and the comments and stuff I read on the internet. Personally I love them all, although Caleb is my fave king. The point is that it looks like who directed the video or the label are going on a road I don't like . this video looks like a cheesy advertising. It looks made to so that teenagers can go "oh look at them , they're so hot!" , and I just hate that.

I love, love the song.
Sure, the video might be a little cheesy, but honestly have any of their videos ever been that riveting. A lot of the time they make fun of them themselves.

I love love love love love the video, can't even put in words! Caleb and the little girl, oh my... Just lovely. What abou the choir? Chill bumps, man... About Matt, well... He's shy, right? I wish I'd seen more of his pretty face too And Caleb standing there, all by himself... preaching maybe?

For everyone who's saying the live version is better...NO ****! Are there any studio versions of KOL songs that sound better on the record than live? Live always sounds better, live will always be meatier, less produced, a natural sound. Is the song a little overproduced? Probably, but not to the extent that OBTN was at all. Sounds more like BOTT to my ears.

i ABSOLUTELY love this song and video...although, i will admit there were a few parts that seemed, as many are saying, "cheesy." it makes me feel nostalgic, having grown up in the boondocks of good ol' east tennessee. it just seems like they're growing more into their own, if that makes any sense...
someone mentioned something about them looking comfortable and they really do...they seem content with the new song in the video and when they've talked about the new album/single in interviews. Honestly, i think this is a pretty fucking sweet make-up for SOF and their little diva moments we all hated to witness with the last album. this is definitely closer to the sound i wanted to hear from them as the years have gone by...i can't wait to hear the entire album!!! i've kept true to my word this time around and haven't listened to any of the come around sundown material until today...so, if radioactive is any indication of the new album's sound, i just can't wait!

''“It’s in the water”, repeats Caleb. Looks like they’ve been putting something in the water, alright. This video is nuts.''I laughed so hard about this hahah

Once again I'm in the minority in LOVING the video. I love it. It's different from anything they've ever done, which is refreshing. Radioactive was already my favorite new song, and it just got a million times better. I love what Caleb is doing with his voice...I'd rather not liken it to anything they've done in the past, but it reminds me of BOTT.
Love the song. Love the video. Even more excited for the album.
