I disagree. This song is more Tears for Fears than it is Verve. The Verve meander around a bit more and do not have as concise melodies (and this is coming from a huge fan of the Verve). Eitherway...
No other band could match the grandiose bombasity of this one... I remember the video, it was almost RIDICULOUS in how grandiose it was. It goes like this:
The singer is on death row for, what we are lead to believe, a crime he did not commit. People are holding up candles and signs. The Governor doesn't pardon the execution, and then the singer is executed in the electric chair... BUT!!... as soon as they fry him, a BABY IS BORN!!
It's so cheesy and over-the-top... but it works with the song and how BIG it is.

I always thought they bit the video plot from Live's Lightning Crashes video.
