The music video, directed by [[Dave Meyers (director)|Dave Meyers]], was filmed on a pond surrounded by [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI]] factories and [[power plants]] near [[Orlando, Florida]]. The video starts out with Dave Matthews playing an [[Steel-string guitar|acoustic guitar]] on a cloudy day on the dock of the pond. Right before the first chorus, an old man in a boat appears, as well as the rest of the band on the dock. The old man appears throughout the rest of the video.

Following the first chorus, a boy and girl sitting in the back of an old pickup truck (in the water) appear. The two appear to be dating, or in love. Also, a young woman in the water, played by actress [[Jaime Pressly]], appears holding her baby. After the verse "We're strange allies with warring hearts, what a wild-eyed beast you be," the song enters the rising action stage. Things become a bit more intense, and the music becomes a faster more upbeat rhythm. Also, dancers in the waters appear.

"The Space Between" is a song written by American rock band Dave Matthews Band from their fourth studio album, Everyday (2001). Released as a single in April 2001, it gave the band their first top-40 hit in their home country, peaking at number 22 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. In the United Kingdom, it became the band's only top-40 hit when it reached number 36 on the UK Singles Chart. "The Space Between" is also included on the Dave Matthews Band compilation album The Best of What's Around Vol. 1.

Music video

[edit]

The music video, directed by Dave Meyers, was filmed on Lake Pickett surrounded by CGI factories and power plants near Orlando, Florida. The video starts out with Dave Matthews playing an acoustic guitar on a cloudy day on the dock of the pond. Right before the first chorus, an old man in a boat appears, as well as the rest of the band on the dock. The old man appears throughout the rest of the video.

Following the first chorus, a boy and girl sitting in the back of an old pickup truck (in the water) appear. The two appear to be dating, or in love. Also, a young woman in the water, played by actress Jaime Pressly, appears holding her baby. After the verse "We're strange allies with warring hearts, what a wild-eyed beast you be," the song enters the rising action stage. Things become a bit more intense, and the music becomes a faster more upbeat rhythm. Also, dancers in the waters appear.

After the verse "All we can do my love is hope we don't take this ship down," the music pauses. A few seconds later, Matthews resumes singing, and it begins to rain, yet the band plays on. The woman holding her baby brings it even closer to her, and the boy and girl in the pickup embrace. The rain gets harder and harder, and, at one point, the drums that Carter Beauford is playing starts gushing large amounts of water. After the verse "Love is all we need, dear" Beauford pounds on the drums for a second before stopping.

Following the stopping of the drums, the rain goes away, and again it's just Matthews singing on the dock, this time it's a clear night with a full moon. A woman approaches, and the music slowly fades out, while Matthews walks off with her.
