[edit] Music video

The music video for "Don't You Wanna Feel" was filmed in Sydney in July 2007.^[4] The video is set in the Rogue Institute for the Gifted, a special hospital where gifted musicians are studied. Described by James Ash as "Grey's Anatomy meets Heroes", the video depicts Ash and Natalie Bassingthwaighte as doctors.^[4] Throughout the video they are shown observing patients performing instruments in strange ways. The music video concludes when Ash and Bassingthwaighte briefly disappear into one of the observation rooms, performing with the rest of the group.

Sony BMG announced that the music video would premiere on Network Ten News with Angela Bishop on September 11, 2007.^[5] The video, however, was not aired and instead premiered on the band's website the following day.
