"Nothing Special" first turned up on Clearly in Another Fine Mess, the 2006 debut album from Canadian band illScarlett, then got a second shot when the band put it on their next record, All Day With It, and made it that album's first single. Canadian radio took the bait: Toronto's 102.1 The Edge and Ottawa's Live 88.5 played it heavily, and it climbed to #1 on the MuchMusic Countdown.
The video, directed by Chris Sargent, who had also shot clips for Alexisonfire, is a neat trick: the band goes about life in a house in fast motion while Alex Norman's mouth moves at normal speed, lip-syncing the vocal.
