The Greatest View

"The Greatest View"
Song

"The Greatest View" is the first single by rock band Silverchair released from their fourth album, Diorama, which was released in 2002, as was "The Greatest View". The song was released as a single and a video was made in which the band plays in hotel room representing Daniel John's inner space which spies try and investigate and listen in on. At the end of the video, the whole hotel lifts up into the air playing on the words 'greatest view'. This is one of three songs which made it onto the album (the other two being "World Upon Your Shoulders" & "Too Much of Not Enough") which Daniel recorded using his Rickenbacker 12 string.

Before 2007, the song never charted in America. Now, it has risen to #50 on the Modern Rock Tracks.
