"Surrender"
Song

"Surrender" is the fourth single from Canadian music group Billy Talent off their triple platinum selling album, Billy Talent II. The single was released on April 2, 2007.

Music video

The video, directed by Phil Harder, is simple in concept; it is a performance piece with the band playing in an apartment while lead singer Ben Kowalewicz sings to the camera. However, the frames run at a slower pace, implementing slow motion for dramatic effect. As the video progresses, things in the apartment (i.e.: dolls, glass containers, picture frames, windows) begin to explode, matching the tone and intensity of the song. Things continue to explode until the end of the video, when Kowalewicz falls to the floor of the ravaged apartment. Kowalewicz's collapse is due to the uncut version, in which he gets shot through the head (explaining the random explosions as gunshots)..

Trivia

On 102.1 the edge's 200 best songs of the millennium Surrender came in at number 169.
