Music videos

There were two music videos to help promote the song — the first video was released around the world and the second video was released only in the United States. The first video was directed by Katie Bell and filmed in Rockhamptondn London and was released on February 17, 2003. Goodrem states "It's a nice step from the last video. It's kind of a little bit more relaxed. We hung a little bit looser and freer on this one. The other one looks really kind of serious and I actually jump around a lot more than what people think. Just the atmosphere and everything about the clip - I'm really happy with it" [http://www.deltagoodrem.com/newsEvents/home.do?newsId=20030211174830 "Delta's New Video"] . "Deltagoodrem.com". Retrieved November 17 2007.] . This version shows Goodrem entering a living room in her home and upon her entrance, she lights up the room and begins playing the parts of the song in the piano. As the song progresses, she reminisces the many times she has spent with her friends. Some scenes also show Delta in her room, where she is still reminiscent of those times. The video, with behind the scenes, is available on Goodrem's first DVD "Delta" (2003).

The second video was filmed in California and was released in the U.S. in August 2005. The music video is set on a beach, where Goodrem plays the parts on the piano and the colour scheme is in black and white. This video also shows Goodrem with a man, hugging and walking towards each other. There are only a few differences between these two versions of the song; the length and vocals. In the first video, the instruments are played mildly, while in second video, the instruments are played slightly stronger.

Cover versions

The song was covered by Darren Hayes during the ARIA Awards Ceremony in 2003, due to Goodrem being too ill to perform. Contemporary Christian artist Jaci Velasquez has also recorded a cover version. In this version the lyrics of the song have been revised to tell of a dependence upon God, as opposed to a lover, as in the original. The song features on her album "Unspoken" (2003).

Australian band Fido has also covered the song in a rockier way, and posted it on their MySpace.
